Performed by the Yale Laptop Ensemble at the 2025 Illuminations Symposium at CCAM, February 20th 2025. The piece features a phone-based instrument that uses the IMU and compass sensors as well as network communication to coordinate musical material as the performers move about the audience. Seated around the perimeter of the audience, hArpists and Bassists perform arpeggio patterns and bass lines that are coordinated with the Lanternists through the network.

MIDI FACE
MIDI_Face is a MaxforLive device that allows performers to forward, route, process, delay, and gate MIDI messages over the network. It also creates a grid-based visualization so you can track where the MIDI data has migrated in real time. We performed these over zoom using CamTwist, AudioMovers, and Ableton.

Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions is a composition for voice and live electronic processing with accompanying visuals. While a vocalist reads Google’s “Terms of Services”, a keyboardist employs granulation techniques, filtering, LPC, and channel-vocoder effects to highlight, humorize, or obfuscate the text. In dramatizing the text in various ways, the piece draws attention to the contradiction between its light and conversational tone and the underlying message as it relates to digital ownership and privacy.
