On Sunday April 4th I took part in Netrooms [for percussion].

This is an invitation for a special Netrooms performance Netrooms [for percussion]. The performance was commissioned by percussionist Jonathan Shapiro and will take place on Sunday 4th April at the Staller Center music wing, Room 0111 (choral room) at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, NY

Netrooms [for percussion]
Pedro Rebelo, 2009

Netrooms [for percussion] explores the sound of a local percussionist as it travels through various acoustic environments. Each participant will set up a microphone capturing a space as nearby loudspeakers stream the sound of each percussion instrument. Please choose unique and perhaps extreme acoustic spaces such as bathrooms, concert halls, outdoors, domestic spaces, outdoors etc…
Participants will not be required to produce sound but incidental sound from the environment is welcome…

Live sound is streamed from the performance to each location, locally processed, and streamed back via a Pure Data patch. The participants communicate via a liveblog.

I set up a speaker and microphone in the basement hallway of the Ars Electronica Futurelab in Linz, Austria. The bare concrete walls and raised flooring tiles provided a lively acoustic environment. The performance ran from 3:30-4:30 EST (9:30 – 10:30 CET).
