Iterated 69 Jam Sessions at Siggraph 2006, Boston.

A body-driven, interactive multimedia performance and jam session, using animations triggered by sound processing of live electric guitars and computer-vision-based people tracking.

Performances
Sunday July 30th, 4.30-5pm (Opening of the Guerilla Studio)
Monday July 31st, 5.30-6pm
Tuesday August 1st, 5.30-6pm

A jam session between a digital artist/animator (Marjan Moghaddam), a computer scientist (Flavia Sparacino), two experimental guitarists (Adam Caine and Michael Iannantuono), the audience of a live performance and Computer Vision software especially designed for this performance. The performance uses the art rock and experimental music of New York City based guitarists Adam Caine and Michael Iannantuono, who will be performing a 30 minute avante jazz inspired improvisational piece. The musical performance is accompanied by Marjan Moghaddam’s animations which combine pre-recorded elements mixed with ‘live’ and improvisational visuals driven by crowd detection and live music modulation. The piece allows for the audience to actively and freely participate in the jam session through unencumbering motion capture technologies using computer vision. Some of the visuals generated during the performance will be output as 2d and 3d prints as further iterations of this jam session.
