To date all of my "bicameral research sound & projection system" audio visual work has remained in the realm of real-time performance for a live projection setting. The brs&p system itself consists of a relatively fixed arrangement of analog and digital sound and video processing elements configured for maximum potential variability within a finite field of contextual possibilities ultimately determined by the physical constraints of available space and portability. These very constraints provide the structural integrity for an ontological praxis derived from spatio temporal improvisation and reflect in the larger thematic concerns of the work and it's phenomenal place in the "world at large".
The sound and image segments on view here are indeed produced in a manner identical to that employed in the live performance setting... and obey the same self imposed set of constraints at work in that context - namely: no prerecorded material in either sound or image allowed, only real-time processing operations and physical manipulations unfolded within a final stage of composition anchored in physical (live camera) optical space on site in the performance situation - etc... however - as is often the case when preparing a live performance - several hours of preliminary trials are committed to dv tape over the course of these preparations... and though this "preliminary" part of the process applies identical strategies to those employed in the live performance itself - the quality of gestural intervention in relation to scale of time is considerably more relaxed iin the preparation sessions... and this results in a more "even" distribution of energies perhaps more suitable to the online viewing experience than a straight forward live performance document might be... and so i thought - in departure from usual absolutes - materials excerpted from one of these extended "in studio"preparation sessions might make the most sense for presentation here... so that is indeed what you see before you now.
