Dialogues V2 (2019)
Duration: 6’55
Format: Audio-Visual Algorithm

Dialogues V2 is the continuation of a collabarative project between the University of Liverpool composer Oliver Carmen and internationally recognised composer and audio-visual artist Mark Pilkington. The project began as part of Open Circuit 2018 with the audio-visual work Dialogues (2018) and continues now as part of the ICCAT residency programme.

Here, the collaborative journey takes place through a reciprocal network that enables the construction of contrasting media. The original fixed audio-visual work is reworked as a live performance, using Ableton Live and Processing. Audio is sliced, diced and reassembled live, using looping and granular synthesis, via live code. Linking with the constant state of a musical flux and real-time transformations of sound that are remotely linked to control the systematic design of the visual images.

Dialogues V2 (2019) awarded an honorary mention at XII° Destellos Competition 2019
