Notation in VR

“Notation in VR” is a performance piece by voice performer Tomomi Adachi and programmer and media artist Hylynyiv. With reference to the concept of graphical notation a 3dimensional score was created, wherein the performer can freely move. The symbols of this score, letters, handwritten signs, and phonemes, are 3dimensional themselves, and can hence be approached and interpreted from different angles.
The interactive concept developed and programmed by Hylynyiv uses the voice as a controller, i.e. parameters of voice are translated into parameters of motion, such that the performers physically navigate the notation through their interpretation, manifesting their vocal energy as a force in the virtual space.
Furthermore, the score is reactive: some of the notational objects are, in contrast to classical notation, not pure symbols to be read and interpreted but react as well with their own sounds – thus interpreting the performer in return, as partners of musical dialogue.
