Topic: "tracking"
In 2010 our topic at Synoptic is "tracking". It is a reaction to the scenery of society and personal relations in many aspects. Our rush and technology based lifestyle leads to superficial side-effects, which cause objectification, depersonalization and time-out. "Tracking" focuses on a set of technical instruments and services (GPS, Radar technology, Internet, Robotics…) and investigates the way how the individual becomes a powerful "tracker" or a defenseless "tracked". Keeping track of time, place, people, events; the attachment or the indifference of the individual towards society or vice versa, the conscious or unconscious relation to time and space plays another important role in Synoptic's theoretical background this year.

INTERACTION BETWEEN MOVEMENT AND SOUND – Todor Todoroff

Date: 20th – 24th September

Location:
Pécs, Faculty of Music and Visual Art

This workshop will explore how sound can be linked to movement in many contexts. Video examples of interactive dance performances, sound installations and musical performances will be given as well as hands-on demonstrations with various sensors. 

We will review the different categories of sensors and see different techniques of sound generation, transformation and spatialisation in the Max/MSP programming environment. As each type of sensors has a different behaviour, often non-linear in regard to the position to be detected or to the force being applied, the mapping between the signals they deliver and the sound parameters they control is of great importance to the resulting sound interaction. We will see how different techniques may help achieve the desired result.
