Jugular
Juices is an 15 minute improvisatory piece for acoustic guitar,
computer, and spoken word artist. It was a co-creation of Mr. Geers
(computer) with
composer Alex Lubet (guitar) and hip hop poet Tou Saiko Lee (text and
spoken word performance.)
During performance, the computer processes both the guitar and voice live.
It also records segments of each instrument's performance for playback
with manipulations later during the piece. In addition, the computer also
creates its own sounds, including banks of rich timbres created via
additive synthesis, playback of created sounds, and live creation of
algorithmically realized rhythmic patterns on physical models of
percussion instruments.
Much thanks to Alex Lubet and Tou Saiko Lee for their creative energies in
this piece, which was an amazingly successful collaborative
experience.
