Creative Music Technology: MULTIMEDIA PROJECT 2024 Monday 21 October, 7:30pm | Basil Jones Orchestral Hall Second-year QCGU BMus Creative Music Technology students perform original audio-visual compositions using various sonic technologies alongside node-based visual programming language Touch Designer (TD). 1) “Quixotic” by Kayden Bertelli, Daniel Celegato, Alicia Dark This piece is a curious exploration into the interplay of genre and texture. As your guides, we invite you on a journey. One that begins in the depths of a dark, industrial landscape, flows through an ethereal underwater realm and resurfaces somewhere in Europe at a pulsing warehouse rave. Along the way, we delve into the world of synthesis, crafting musical soundscapes that blur the boundaries between the electronic and the acoustic world. We shift between familiar, comforting melodies and dissonant, unexpected chord progressions to push the listener. This is an auditory adventure where the rules of genre are just as fluid as the landscapes being explored. Throughout this journey, each performer will play a vital role in shaping the experience. Daniel will expertly control the sonic elements from Ableton Live, crafting a dynamic auditory experience that evolves with each moment. Kayden will bring a human feel and depth to the music with an array of playing styles and effects pedals being utilised with the electric guitar. Meanwhile, Alicia will be enhancing the atmosphere by manipulating visual effects within TouchDesigner and singing live, creating a sensory experience that ties it all together. Each performer has worked hard to bring their artistry to the stage, hoping to weave together an engaging tapestry that captivates both your ears and eyes. We invite you to sit back and let your imagination take flight as we explore the unexpected. Each performer has ventured well beyond their comfort zone for this performance, aiming to offer the audience a new and captivating experience. We sincerely hope you enjoy experiencing this piece as much as we enjoyed creating it for you. 2) “End of the Show” by Harry Maynard & Charlotte Lennon A unique animated music video in a pixel-art style. End of the Show follows the narrative of a fictional live band (called The Band) performing a song, which our main character, a fan of this band, goes to attend. The journey Char (short for Character) goes on is underscored by the lighthearted indie song The Band is performing. This earworm
