lemuriformes

lemuriformes is a collaborative improvisational performance project by Laurens van der Wee, Roel van Doorn, Eliad Wagner & Julie Dassaud.
It is a project in which audio-visual live coding, painting, and electronic music of mixed technologies blend

together to create a rich palette of audio-visual expression. The group challenges information flow by combining painting with free electronic improvisation, visuals and live-coded manipulation of sound.
Many issues are addressed in the process, such as the role of the graphical representation of code in live coding performances, live coding as a means of sound transformation [rather than synthesis], human and machine involvement levels in electronic music and live coding in collaborative performances. The main reason to start this unusual cooperation was to share a positive and playful experience in which the personal qualities of the collaborators have their role deﬁned on the ﬂy. From it we learned that it definitely creates an interesting combination of crosshatched and intersecting auditory and visual palettes, which we will continue to explore.
