Abstract / Summary
This paper discusses the use of typed text as a real-time input for
interactive performance systems. A brief review of the literature
discusses text-based generative systems, links between typing and
playing percussion instruments and the use of typing gestures in
contemporary performance practice. The paper then documents the
author’s audio-visual system that is driven by the typing of text/lyrics
in real-time. It is argued that the system promotes the sensation of
liveness through clear, perceptible links between the performer’s
gestures, the system’s audio outputs and the its visual outputs. The
system also provides a novel approach to the use of generative
techniques in the composition and live performance of songs. Future
developments would include the use of dynamic text effects linked to
sound generation and greater interaction between human performer
and the visuals
