The performance proposes a DIY way of music making, focusing on low budget items hacking, creative use of new technologies designing alternative interfaces for sound creation.

Resembling of a solo concert piece, L.O.L.B. has as its core an amplified ikea desk lamp, explored in all its sonorities by one performer playing it with bare hands.

An important characteristic of the lamp is that it can be easily moved, this mobility amplifies the physical performance and modifies the original sound, thanks to a custom made interface and digital audio processing.

The interface between the lamp movement and the sound manipulation, is ideated hypothesising how a “natural” sound would behave, taking advantage of the possibilities of digital audio but bringing them out of the computer, interfacing them with something more physical and “primitive” than a controller fader or a mouse.

The focus is to magnify how the sound processing is controlled, transforming unperceivable digits unseeable to human eyes, into visible performative actions.

The spatial position of the light source is tracked by a camera and translated into parameters usable by the audio engine, naturally connecting the lamp movement to the behaviour of its sound transformations.

The final audio, even when processed, has tones which are close to the natural ones, as the audio processes basically consist in different applications audio delay, meaning that there is no synthesised sound or recorded sample added to the final output.

The only light source present in the performance is the lamp’s light bulb itself. Meaning that the moving lamp is, beside changing its own sound, acting as a dynamic lighting device. It points and looks in different direction, behaving like a curious creature, illuminating different part of the environment, scanning through the audience and sometimes blinding the people.

The result is a performance and electroacoustic piece, where natural and artificial tones fuse seamlessly, symbiotically combined with light, developing in time with movements of the performer and its instrument.

"I came in with some good experience from before, like doing computer vision projects for outdoor perception for field robots," says Debadeepta Dey. "But the basic principles for any project remain the same, you go in and you do the rigor and you make sure that you know the state of the art, and that you come up to speed for your particular application, and then you think about extending it forward."

After affine rectification by Casey Marshall

After affine rectification. Using the checkered rug as a source for parallel lines, an inverse projective transform restores the lines to parallel (see that the rug's lines are now close to being parallel).

Example outputs of my new fiducial generator for reacTIVision using force directed layout and super customizable for adjusting overall complexity and size, it should be possible to create vast amounts of unique markers suiting many different usage contexts.

It also happens to generate very cute teddy bear lookalikes... :)

Debadeepta Dey says of the project, "We didn’t want to like get ourselves bogged down into a research problem for which there are methods out there that sort of work but not always. So we found that if we tried to get the 3D structure of the vineyard we'd get very useful information--like when you want to disambiguate where the grapes are from the foliage."
