Abstract
In my recent works, I have been exploring different ways of engaging performers and media—specifically video—in mutually beneficial interrelations on stage. Whether direct or indirect, literal or metaphorical, the connections between performers and digital entities have both generated and been triggered by musical and narrative structures. In this paper, I talk about such interrelations and their conceptual and formal impact in two large-scale compositions that constitute my DMA Final Project: "Knot an Opera!" (2016) for three sopranos, baritone, pianist, electronics, and three-channel video, and "Chord Optimization in Music Composition: Towards a Machine-Inspired Technique for Human-Based Performance" (2018) for ten performers, composer, electronics, live 360° video, and multichannel video.
