Anyone see this in action yet? Atlantic Waves is an improvised network music performance by monolake and deadbeat. A special application, the Atlantic Waves Interface III, makes it possible to create muisc together in realtime while being thousands of miles appart.
The Atlantic Waves Interface utilises a beautiful graphical surface which is projected during the performance. This interface is simple enough to be controled in real time but allows for building up complex musical structures. It also allows the audience to follow all actions and to become part of the process. Every sound generated has a visual representation and all interaction with the software is displayed. The result is a unique and constantly evolving and changing piece of audio-visual art, created simultaniously in two different locations on this planet. This radical new concept of internet performance provides the bridge between club and fine arts, between computer graphics and music, between installation and improvisation. http://www.monolake.de/atlantic.html
