Chaotic Constructions
A collaboration between Dr Tony Myatt (Director of the Music Research Centre at the University of York), and Peter Fluck. The piece was inspired by Chaos Theory. The movements of the sculpture are tracked in real time through colour recognition software, by a video camera connected to a computer system. The computer interprets the behaviour of the sculpture using a series of algorithms programmed by the composer . Over time the characteristics of the sculpture change , producing large scale musical forms and structures using synthesised sounds.
