1LL0~ TouchyChother Ensemble
Participatory interactive ensemble with live visuals and electronics generated via online interaction through smartphones with conducted improvisation.
Custom systems built in TouchDesigner, Max MSP & SuperCollider, connected via OSC.
Developed with Juanlu Montoro as 1LL0~.
TouchyChother Ensemble was originally built using Krea’s web app “Touchy” to fetch the performer’s interations with their personal smarthphones, and premiered as a live stream concert in Krea’s Alt_Space Youtube channel on January 2022. Later, in October, another iteration of the Ensemble was performed offline in Santiago de Compostela, with the adition of a commissioned piece by the ensemble Vertixe Sonora, who joined for the performance.
The TouchyChother Ensemble was developed as a way of bringing conducted free improvisation to non-specialized audiences, while reshaping our relationship with our everyday-use phones
