0746001-p1-075_large.jpegFlock, by Jason Freeman :: December 6-8, 2007 :: Carnival Center for the Performing Arts, Miami - during the Art | Basel | Miami Beach festival. Advance tickets are now on sale.

Flock is a full evening performance work for saxophone quartet, conceived to directly engage audiences in the composition of music by physically bringing them out of their seats and enfolding them into the creative process. During the performance, the four musicians and up to one hundred audience members move freely around the performance space. A computer vision system determines the locations of the audience members and musicians, and it uses that data to generate performance instructions for the saxophonists, who view them on wireless handheld displays mounted on their instruments. The data also drives the real-time generation of a multi-screen video animation and an electronic soundtrack.

Flock was commissioned by the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts in Miami. Additional support has been provided by the Georgia Tech Foundation and by the Seed Grant Program at Georgia Tech’s GVU Center. Flock’s premiere performances at the Carnival Center are additionally supported by the Funding Arts Network and are produced by iSAW.
