Conversations in Colour was a project devised by
Jo Hyde and Nigel Morgan for the BBC National Orchestra of Wales exploring
the extension of orchestral instruments with electronic processing (including
multimedia elements), and performing over long distances using ISDN-based
technologies.
The outcome was a simultaneous performance of live music, processed sound
and visuals given by three ensembles in three locations as part of BBC Wales
digital arts event Platfform 2001. The three ensembles participating
were singers from the Bangor University chamber choir, percussionists from
The Welsh College of Music & Drama, and members of the BBC National
Orchestra of Wales. It was produced by Andrew Burke and Jeremy Garside as
a development project for RESOUND, the community and education department
of BBCNOW.
In 2002 Conversations in Colour was featured at the opening concert
of the ILIOS Festival, Norway along with its companion piece Schizophonia,
a co-commission from BBCNOW and the ILIOS Festival. This performance featured
Det Norsk Solistkor (in Oslo) Tromsø Symfoniorkester (in Tromsø),
Forsvarets Disriktsmusikkorps Nord-Norge (in Harstad) led by members of
the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. |
