NIME 2014 (New Interfaces for Musical Expression)

Musique Parabolique

Armed with parabolic microphone and live sampling system Dennis van Tilburg takes his audience with wireless headphones on an auditory journey. During a walk through the neighbourhood he catches snatches of street scenes and mixes it live to a composition that manipulates reality. The show evokes associations with spy movies and defies the boundaries of privacy in public spaces when unsolicited outsiders become part of the performance. At unexpected moments it makes our experience eerie, surreal or absurdist.
