Sonic Adventures 004 – Civic Auscultation

This video demonstrates the hardware controller I made using two sonic sensors to control granulation of recorded voices and effects in Ableton. It will be expanded into a full piece for live performance utilising more of the Lyra 8 and Moose Electronics custom delay/reverb.

Program note: Civic Auscultation is a live performance etude that explores how live electronics can change the auditory landscape of a bustling city by focusing on the snatches of overheard conversations. The piece is designed to present a different arrangement of sounds each time, replicating the varied experiences of walking through a city.
