Distant Streams

Distant-Streams: PST combined spatial sound mixes performed by two remote improvisers, transmitted to each other in real-time via web-app devised by the artist. Material used in the performance consisted of guitar and environmental recordings made in Los Angeles and New York City, shaped by compression artifacts and the natural time-delay incurred through transmission.
Audiences in each real location experienced a shared, multichannel sound (net)work formed by both improvisers, while online listeners, connected via web browser, experience a 3-dimensional binaural mix through personal sound systems. This work explored new opportunities for remote collaboration and the nascent potential of distant multichannel performance.
This project was supported within the CultureHub Residency program.
