MD5319 Semester 2-Project Evaluation ST9
The initial setup took much longer than we would be expecting it, this was due to Ableton Live not recognising the midi keyboard. Dan and I had to troubleshoot all aspects of our setup to find out what was causing the problem, after finding out that the cause was due to the internal midi setup in the DAW everything was running smoothly. The troubleshooting extended our initial setup time from thirty minutes to one hour. The setup might look very simple however the internal routing of the computers to deliver low latency and synchronised audio communication made this project very complicated.
The primary goal of this project was to observe how blind communication through musical cues at a distance would work, as well as to suggest the further implementation of this idea into an art installation based on Arduino computers rather than Ableton allowing individuals for this type of musical communication. We have intended not to rehearse a performance as being unprepared would enforce the idea of two non-musical individuals blind communicating through the music. I have noticed that the performance wasn't very engaging for the audience this could have been changed trough asking the audience for participation in this performance.
In my opinion, the performance/presentation of the idea went well, and Dan and I managed to get the point across as well as manage to demonstrate how the system based on digital networks would work.
