The newest installment of the Computer Music Concert series took place March 14th in The Experimental Theater of The Conrad Prebys Music Center (CPMC). The 60 speakers of The Experimental Theater were utilized.
The concert included a piece by Issac Garcia-Muñoz entitled WiiCycle, which sonified a mountain bike ride, using the accelerometers of 2 Nintendo Wii remotes. Another piece entitled Killer Cows from Outer Space involved a giant metal bird creature manipulated for tactile sounds. A piece by Grace Leslie consisted of "a brainwave interface that controls sound by reading the performer's mood," as stated by the UCSD Music Department's website.
Cooper Baker presented a piece called Dotscilloscope, using software he created which gives visual representations of synth-type sounds, such as sine and square waves.
UCSD's music department is known to push the frontier of experimental / digital music (among other things), and this series is some proof. The concert featured work by graduate students who are helping shape the future of music/instruments, as they relate to the digital age.
