Downtown Replay

Downtown Replay is a site-specific, interactive performance for live sound and dance.

Downtown Replay has been performed in a few iterations. Lauren Thompson and I got a commission to put the piece together for the Art in the Loop in Downtown Kansas City 2015 season. It was remounted again at a different venue for the Art in the Loop 2016 season. The piece was then remounted at the 2017 KC Fringe Festival (pictured left), and then again at the Asheville Fringe Festival. Downtown Replay was selected into the Electronic Music Midwest conference in 2017.

The sound is designed in Max for Live, using Ableton Live Suite. I place microphones all around each space where it is being performed at. I capture sounds from these mics in real time and fed them throuh my program in Max to transform the sounds.
