What: AG Presentation on Motion Sensing Applications for Multi-Disciplinary Performance When: Friday June 1 9am Alaska Time, 1pm Eastern Time, -8 UTC Where: Monte Carlo Room NCSA Schedule https://agschedule.ncsa.uiuc.edu:443/meetingdetails.asp?MID=19875 Motion and Sound: Motion Sensing Applications for Multi-Disciplinary Performance Motion sensing is prime technology for interactive multi-media, multi-disciplinary performance. Dr. Dan Hoskin will give an overview of his work using various software applications to facilitate productions that utlilize electronic media with live dance. Much of his work has been done in conjunction with the Palindrome Intermedia Performance Group based in Nuremberg, Germany. Daniel Hosken's music has been performed in major world cities including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Edinburgh, Stuttgart, Berlin, Nürnberg, Seoul, and Melbourne. His music has also been featured on such festivals as the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC), Siggraph, the International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA), the National Conference of SEAMUS (Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the US), the Florida Electro-Acoustic Music Festival, the Seoul International Computer Music Festival, the Connecticut College Art and Technology Symposium, and the National Conference of the Society of Composers, Inc. (SCI). Dr. Hosken’s recent work has focused on interactive electronic performance in collaboration with the Palindrome Intermedia Performance Group. This work involves a camera-based motion tracking system coupled with a programming sound synthesis and processing environment. He is currently Associate Professor of Music at California State University, Northridge where he teaches courses in music technology and composition and manages the Music Technology Lab and Advanced Projects Studio. Hosken holds a D.M.A. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, an M.M. in Composition with Academic Honors from New England Conservatory of Music, and a B.S. in Music and Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He studied computer music with Barry Vercoe, Tod Machover, and Robert Ceely, and composition with John Harbison, Stephen Dembski, and William Thomas McKinley.
