Building Music

STRUCTET is a fluctuating formation constisting of 52 visual and sonic improvisers. This group performed in september 2010, a sequel to their previous performance at TodaysArt in 2006.

 

STRUCTET is a monumental, architectonic vertical matrix of improvised electronic music and projections. An army of musicians on laptops and custom built instruments formed an electronic orchestra that performed on seven floors. The 'conductors' behind the mixing boards for both image and sound transformed the different inputs into one single piece of music and projections.

 

STRUCTET adapts itself to the building or spatial structure where it performs, with a preference for the vertical dimension. The structure of the improvisation is based on a study of the proportions, scale, colour, history and function of the location of the performance. This performance was based on a study of Richard Meier's architecture of the Town Hall.
