The ‘Garden Delight’ project will essentially create a ‘room-sized’ musical instrument that responds to whole body movement. The instrument will however resemble a forest in which dancer’s movements provide the physical input. Using Opcode’s MAX software it is possible to go beyond the basic ‘trigger and response’ of a traditional musical instument. Simple inputs can create complex structures normally found in fully notated music.
