ITEMIZED LIMITATIONS OF ENERGY & AWARENESS

PREPARATIONS & REPARATIONS FOR THE OPERA - PROJECTS

• Beginning articulations of forthcoming mental tides

• Cymatic textile printing machine: copper resonant plate to vibrate particulated dye into dispersed sound wave patterns which can be "printed" onto large canvas, linen, silk, or other textiles. Multiple tones printed over each other in various colors to create a synesthetic modulations of senses through harmonic color layers. Material can be used for theatrical backdrops, sculptural objects, wardrobe for musicians & dancers, "paintings" for sale, etc.

• Music-movement transmogs

• Music-movement machine for sym-poietic notational drawing: (perhaps the foundation for a series of vector graphics) charting the interchange/exchange/transmogrification of intuitive improvisational inspiration between performers, "producing" a reverse-engineered notational image serving as document to a live-action sequence conversational flow. Examples: drumming signal (paradigm) shift sequences correlated to labanotation-esque body movements +/- body movements being recorded and deciphered into rhythmic constellations which can be actively sight-read by a percussionist [full body = full body]

• The tingle tapping of fingers on a guitarists fretboard (rising & falling, haptic sensibilities, resonate contact with the linear resonance of strings) mapped to expressive qualities of the hand/face/toes/stomach/other body parts == the creation of a gestalt formal system of touch-tickle into 4th dimensional shapes of distilled expression (how much of this concerns coding/decoding? How can the errors/lag/subjectivity of interpretation be removed from such a system?) +/- the grid of a dancer or the mind of a choreographer's 4d notepad being correlated to the fret board, ie: transferal of information between movement forms while still allowing/amplifying/emphasizing the creative potentials of both mover & player

• Theremin modulated libretto : correlation of tonal glissando & voice = sound information describing spatio-temporal-energetico coordination more than the rise & fall of theatrical affect in the actor. Relation between theremin player & actor should not be visual, vocal, linguistic, or expressive, rather emphasizing an allegory for the time worn schism between mind & body.

• Cymbal shimmers & video shivers

• Simultaneity of scale between model & reality: small model being projected via mirror system (or like demonstrations in science classrooms) to an on-screen stage screen serving as stage directions to the technicians.
