Steve Gibson - Virtual DJ
Wednesday 14th July 2004
Stealth, nr The Rescue Rooms, Nottingham

trAce is delighted to host the UK premier of Steve Gibson's Virtual DJ at Stealth in Nottingham on Wednesday 14th July.  Doors open at 8pm and entrance is just £2.

VIRTUAL DJ uses the tracking capabilities of the Gesture and Media System, invented by Acoustic Positioning Research, to allow one or more users to use space as an audio remix or performance tool. Users literally wave their arms, and as if by magic new audio loops are accessed, synthesizer filters are open and closed, samples are played, and drum loops are started and stopped. In addition robot lights follow the users, dynamically changing in relation to their position and the audio.

Virtual DJ is a prototype for a new type of club and network-based performance, and can be used by anyone from absolute musical neophyte to the expert performer. Virtual DJ seeks to find a new mode of performance and editing: one that is spontaneous, capable of changing dramatically from one performance to another, and above all, seamless.
