Splendor Generator brings together electronic music and live graphics to create a synergistic immersive environment for the audience.
It is a unique blend of idiosyncratic and diverse performers:
- Tim Perkis – electronics
- Xopher Davidson [antimatter] – electronics, oscillations +
- Bill Thibault – live graphics
- Wobbly – electronics
Live, multichannel projections react to the musicians’ audio in real time, controlling aspects of a physics-based motion algorithm. Visuals and music performed together are usually only vaguely interdependent, or uses pre-recorded visuals to which the music tries to conform. Instead, SPLENDOR GENERATOR puts visuals on an equal footing with music, capable of creating improvised and intimate interactions between performers.
