Live Stage: Shawn Greenlee [
Providence, R.I.]
Shawn Greenlee: Augur - Solo Concert :: April 8, 2008; 8:00 PM :: Grant Recital Hall, 1 Young Orchard Avenue, Providence (behind Orwig Music Bldg., corner of Hope Street and Young Orchard Avenue).
In this concert Greenlee will perform two sets with his drawn sound performance system, Augur. Augur is a system for solo audio performance that uses the action of drawing as a performance gesture in conjunction with methods for generating digital sound from graphic patterns stored within the computer. There are two primary activities: 1) The live action of drawing sensed and mapped to signal processing, and 2) the manipulation of previously composed graphics as the instructions for sound synthesis. Interpreting image as sound is the object of the performance. The performer’s action tunes this interpretation, hinging on the activity of recalling, processing, and mixing pairs of images from a vast catalog. The effect is a situation where singularities and chance occurrences manifest through the exploration of how an image can sound.
