DON LI’S ORBITAL GARDEN INVITES:

A 48 HOUR RHYTHM AROUND THE CLOCK

FOR FABIAN KURATLI

Das Tonus-Music Labor präsentiert in Zusammenarbeit mit 48 Schlagzeugern einen 48 stundenlangen, Tag und Nacht durchgehenden Drum-Beat. Der Orbital Garden beginnt am Freitag um 21h und dauert ohne Unterbruch bis am Sonntagabend um 21h. Während dieser Zeit wird das Labor durchgehend geöffnet sein.

Die Schlagzeuger lösen sich stündlich ab. Drei bereitstehende Drum-Sets ermöglichen nahtlose Übergänge oder ein zeitweises Zusammenspiel. Der zum World-Clock synchron gespielte Beat von zwölf 10/4 Takten bei 120BPM, bildet einen Zyklus von einer Minute. Jeder Drummer spielt 60 Zyklen = 60Minuten.

DON LI’S ORBITAL GARDEN INVITES:
A 48 HOUR RHYTHM AROUND THE CLOCK
FOR FABAIN KURATLI

Don asked me to program a precise metronome that ticks synchronously to the world clock and conducts the 48 drummer’s who will play at the 48 hours life performance from 26th to 28th of november 2010 at the Tonus Labor at Kramgasse 10 in Berne.

Therefore I chose puredata to build the patch to be able to address sound and video-files without delay and reliably. Further Pd comes with features such as [netsend] to stream framerates to a second computer where [netreceive] reads them and e.g. recalculates them to play a film using [gemwin].

This patch will be released as soon as I’m happy with it’s result. Meanwhile check the screenshot to get an idea what it’s doing.
