Calligraphy of Dynasties by Lorelei Tong
This is an excerpt from Calligraphy of Dynasties by Lorelei Tong. The full piece was presented at the 10am concert.
Calligraphy of Dynasties is an 8-channel electro-acoustic composition for Chinese calligraphy of Han dynasty, Tang dynasty, and Ming dynasty. The music tries to capture the drama of the characters being written, which are hypothetically presented in 2D animation composited with close shots of real-time handwriting. For each dynasty, the most representative instruments are chosen as source material for the music. For instance, bronze bells, Qin and Xun are used for Han dynasty; short samples of Kun opera are used for Ming dynasty. The music is dynastically contextualized. The spatialization basically follows the strokes in a sonic space, most precisely in the section of Ming dynasty, least precisely in Tang dynasty, according to the cultural themes and the styles of the calligraphy.
nulldude at 2007-11-07 20:01:17 great stuff!
i actually used this project as a foundation for an interface experiment for a vb class i was taking. full props given.
a video demo is here http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=K6Fn8sLPbeE
i added some interface elements and mapped the circle of fifths to chord playing buttons. other enhancements underway so you can't hit a bum note in the lead or bass if the note exists in the chord space.
cheers!
