n3_M3510 is an audiovisual performance of voodoochild/ based on live coding of MIDI sequences via TidalCycles, audio samples and Text-to-Speech in SuperCollider and sound-reactive visuals developed in Processing and controlled via OSC.
n3_M3510 is a series of real-time composition exercises that take as a forced foot and reference a collection of samples taken from sound files of the radio program ‘Art from New York’ conducted by Nemesio Auntúnez ( a relevant chilean artist died in early 90’s ) from that city.
The work reflects and reinterprets Nemesio' s work and seeks to update his Latin American and global point of view with a retrofuturist aesthetic, where live-coding is understood as a post-apocalyptic manifestation of folklore that operates as an exercise of reappropriation, dialogue and update of the memory in the "now".
n3_M3510 tries to juxtapose imaginaries in an exercise of articulation of affective and territorial memory. The post-process and reinterpretation of the concepts and themes exposed during the assigned interviews is proposed as part of a dystopian musical and iconographic exploration that flows from the violence and despair in Pollock, to the rudiments of electronic music concepts or the estrangement of a chilean-spanish painter, the use of international language to talk about Latin America in Torres-García until the death of Ché Guevara and the reflections of Luis Oyarzún about war and nature.
The work has been commissioned by Sónec: Sonoteca de Experimental Music and Chilean Sound Art to be presented live in the context of the Sound / Visual Cycle co-produced in collaboration with the New Media Area of ​​the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage, within the framework of the Nemesio Antúnez exhibition at the Cerrillos National Center for Contemporary Art, Santiago.
