Gestural Controller
Deprogram have added customised open source software and DIY controllers to their performances, moving beyond ready-made hardware and laptops to DIY controllers to allow for more expression and interaction. They’ve devised an audiovisual program that uses sensor gloves to mix and alter sounds and projections.
All processing is done through digital workstation, Ardour, which is controlled by ReacTIVision using TUIO protocol. Ardour then sends feedback to the control surface – commands like gain, pan and metering. This is sent to Smokescreen, a visualisation application, via OSC.
The controller was initially developed and premiered at the Underbelly Festival and Public Arts Lab, Sydney in August 2008. It has also been incorporated into a performance inside the Regenr8 geodesic dome featuring 360 degree projections at the Peats Ridge Festival.
