502 Days of self is a composition co-creating with Daniel Pitman (University of Adelaide).
This co-composed piece uses data of my practice on the Floors, and uses machine learning to derive patterns of gestural performance, interpolated to the transformations of 4 polygons on a screen, acting as a 4 part choir that reinterprets that movement in the language of the performers. The parts can be expanded and doubled, to show the different translations of these movements across instruments.
Daniel Pitman is a co-composer and the creator of the score system in this ongoing project.
In research, this work is being used to examine pedagogy in electronic ensemble training.
This work was initially commissioned as a part of the Digiscore ERC project, and its work has continued since. The first iteration of the score, used in the Hamburg performance in December 2022, is found here.
The first iteration of the piece was performed in Hamburg at the HfMT, December 2022
The expanded development, and the first performance of the final score, was showcased at the TENOR conference in Boston, May 2023.
