Where is Tokyo?
This piece is the product of a collaboration with choreographer Esther Palmer . My work included the construction of a virtual soundscape as well as a musical score.
An intriguing thing about this project was the union of the real and the virtual, the use of an animated environment to extend a real space. The combined space was conceived as a whole, creating the illusion of a larger world in which the piece was set. [see the floor plan]
The soundscape helped unify the perception real and the virtual, while maintaining a distinction between them. To accomplish this, the actual soundscape of the studio housing the set informed the sounds used in the animation soundscape.
