We invite you to the fourth edition of workshops prepared by Krzysztof Cybulski at the Audio-Visual Technology Center in Wrocław, during which we will build interactive sound objects based on the Arduino platform and Krzysztof Cybulski’s original Modular Process Music project.
Modular Process Music is a concept/set of instruments designed to create improvised music in a new way. The title can be understood in three ways:
– “process music” – a method of creating music in which the composer/artist does not create a fixed piece; rather, they design a process that in turn generates music;
– “modular process” – a process that can be redesigned on the fly by changing the order and relationships of several sound modules;
– “modular music” – a piece consisting of modules or parts that can be freely assembled and changed at any point.
The instruments communicate with each other through sound alone, in the same way that musicians improvise. Unlike a typical modular synthesizer, instead of connecting modules with patch cables, each instrument has a speaker and a conference microphone so that they can listen to each other or other external sounds. Some instruments are controlled by sound alone, while others can also be controlled manually. The instruments are designed so that their interactions and sound-making processes are clearly visible and understandable to the audience—visual feedback is provided by the mechanical movement of the components.
