Field recording of the Sonokinesis performance in Brno

I decided to record the performance with the help of my friend Martin Janda by field recorder as well as binaural recording in Ableton Live using Envelope4Live 4D sound Max For Live plugins. Unfortunately, binaural recording failed during the performance process, therefore I was left with the field recording only.

In both performances, Brno and Ostrava, I have used two rubber sensors, crown with an IMU sensor and one Arduino glove.

During the first performance in Brno, I have encountered technical issues with one of the knee sensors. I found myself needing to engage with the laptop to level up certain effect, which somewhat undermined the initial intent of exclusively using bodily movements to control the sound. Nevertheless, I’ve come to understand that the issue at hand is primarily an engineering challenge. By modifying the assembly method of the conductive rubber, I should be able to prevent malfunctions in the future.
