Mécanique Céleste

Nicolas Field: claves
A&F Architects Geneva: building
Anthony Pateras: claves / composition

A one-shot, tonight-only kind of gig in the middle of the pandemic where I installed a 4-channel sound system inside this building designed by Alberto Figuccio. The wall you see has unique and bizarre acoustic, causing multiple reflections and varying delays. The music was all celeste based, using pitch and rhythm data generated from the building’s architectural parameters. This was rendered by Rohan Drape in SuperCollider, while Nicolas Field and I performed live claves.
