AVM

The Audio Visual Matrix (AVM) is an interdisciplinary performance system that enables fast and flexible interconnections of audio and video data streams to modulate content. This work will bind the elements of an immersive, interdisciplinary performance involving musicians and video artists. With this system, elements (instruments, cameras and computers) will “modulate” each others content, creating a web of resonances and associations that will engage listeners in a unique and powerful way.
