In the first I demo an idea I have for an old kitchenette in the backstage area. This place will become a installation space of a general domestic area with some home-made multimedia interpretations of details from the Emery/Bass story. However there is always an uneasiness, and a nagging rustling noise (rustling noises like insects or rodents in the wall have been recurring in my mind about this piece, which I mainly interpret as harbingers and warnings). The video shows little 3Volt pager/cell phone motors I am controlling with a button, through the Arduino and an H-Bridge (Texas Instruments SN754410). All the motors are wired to the same control, though eventually I'll program them to move independent from each other and randomly. In the performance the wires, microcontroller/circuit, will be hidden (mostly) as will the motors in the drawers, sink, etc. However I do want them to pop out and roam around at will. Instead of critters like mice or insects scurrying or scratching out a warning, these are electronic critters with their own personalities.
The second video is just a really rough demo of the awesome/beautiful back staircase at the church with a FIVE SECOND REVERB! I apologize for my atrocious singing, but the idea is that the actual good performers will be singing/chanting in this incredible space, accompanied by temple bowls, and video/lights. Can't wait!
