My Other Self

“My Other Self” is an interactive sound installation comprised by eight microphones, one computer and eight speakers; designed as a musical instrument, a composition and a score; and set in a room that integrates performers, composers and audience, regardless of where they stand. 

Sounds transduced by the microphones are boosted and synthesized by a computer which returns them through the speakers. The output is then fed back into the system, whose processing components vary in configuration depending on the levels and pitches the computer reads, providing a human listener with the possibility of perceiving a permanent change in spectrum in which he/she has an influence.

 

Juan Sebastián Aguilar, Nicolás Daleman, Rafael García and Sebastián Rojas will be offering a performance using "My Other Self" on 26 May at 5 p.m.
