Multimedia spatial installation Drumming 0.3 is an organic mechanism that interprets the author’s compositional instructions, producing unexpected results in a never-repeating music experience.
The solenoids built into the bongo drums tap the membranes of the drums, reacting to the musical impulses of the computer.
Drumming 0.3 combines the age-old rhythmic complexity of South Indian music with a contemporary procedure of creating music material using generative musical techniques, thus engendering an inexhaustible closed system of rhythmic diversity.
Simultaneously, the music notation is produced by transcribing the newly-created compositions in real time.
