Sound Manipulation

Research focus

To experiment with Ableton Live, a multi-track audio recording software that offers possibilities for immediate manipulation and playback. In what ways can Ableton Live software ‘collect’ voices and sounds from the audience and use them in the performance? How might artists from various disciplines use Ableton Live in ways that might not occur to musicians? Expand use of the software to physical movement, sound creation and storytelling on stage.
