Noisefloor 2017: Shane Byrne – Proprioception

Shane Byrne – Proprioception http://www.shanebyrne.xyz/ Proprioception is an electroacoustic composition inspired by shamanism and butoh dance and intended to performed in a live context. The title itself refers to the sense of knowing where different parts of your body are in relation to themselves and the surrounding environment. In this piece I use the Xbox Kinect sensor in conjunction with the visual media programming language, Processing, to map the skeletal structure of the performer. Certain points on this structure such as the hands, feet, torso, head and many others, are mapped in Processing as points in 3D space allowing me to determine posture, gesture, speed and direction of movement. This correlation is one tool that I use to try and create a greater sense of empathy and connectedness between the performer and the audience. Music, after all, is a multimodal experience and what we see can sometimes be as powerful as what we hear. Shane Byrne is a composer of acoustic and electronic music and is currently a PhD candidate at Maynooth University focusing on interactivity and participation within electroacoustic music composition. His current work is focused on physical computing and investigating the potential for human-computer interaction to add to an overall immersive musical experience for both the performer and the audience. His work has more recently led him to explore the potential for such interaction to facilitate and encourage learning amongst the learning impaired and the autistic community.
