Ziller's Story

March 15th, 2010



Future Music Oregon concert series
Winter 2009

This piece is performed using Symbolic Sound’s Kyma,
a real-time digital synthesis environment and the Wacom tablet as the control surface.

Ziller’s story utilizes text, as read by Alonzo Moore, from Tom Robbins’ book Another Roadside Attraction.
The text is a poem left by John Paul Ziller for his wife after she has experienced a devastating loss.
One cannot lose what was never found, just as even when something is lost, it is never gone.

This piece explores how text can be used as a background tapestry
to influence the unconscious awareness of time and space.
What we observe and accumulate through time always exists within us,
becoming part of our foundation and part of our experience.
One is meant to experience the full journey before the answer is revealed,
traveling from the tips of the mountains to arrive right in front of you.

Future Music Oregon
Spring 2010 Concert

In collaboration with my partner Mark Knippel, a real-time performance
for iPhone, nintendo wiiMote, a collection of sound makers,
custom software and video.

Written in Max/MSP/Jitter,
the initial idea was to explore how audio signals
can affect the video domain in various ways.
Since then, the piece has undergone its own evolution,
with additional elements being added
to make it more of a piece and less of a machine.

Essentially, there are 3 different types of sounds occurring throughout this piece:
sounds derived from an array of acoustic sound makers,
live manipulation of those sounds in real time,
and the addition of various recalled and manipulated in real-time meta-Tings!

The extension of the original acoustic instrument becomes transformed.
Their interaction with both each other and the video
create a temporal space that oscillates between
beautiful, humorous, and completely insane.


The video being used is entitled Hep Cat Symphony (1949), directed by Seymour Kneitel.
