Suguru Goto : "Virtual AERI II"

The composer Suguru Goto works at IRCAM. But this month he has a chance to visit Japan for 1 month with his job, so I am happy to invite him for this concert. This is a report of my developing new sensor for him (sorry, written in Japanese).

This is his performance. He plays special sensors, MIDI violin (without strings), and light sensor (graphic control).

These are his performances and the sensors.

These are his settings and equipments.

This is the special interface machine which was produced by myself, sent to IRCAM, and works well in Europe with his tour.

Other Snap Photo of the concert

This concert was live broadcasted via Internet. The live audio/video signals was encoded with this computer,

and connected the collage with 2 telephone lines. The server computer distributed the information to Internet in the collage.

At the beginning of the concert, I have a presentation of the lecture of Computer Music. This is the equipment for the video presentation.

This is the Xebec Hall. The staffs of this hall are very high level in Japan. We can perform with the best condition in this hall.

They are my students.
