O computador no processo de criação artística : práticas de improvisação musical a partir de imagens digitais

Abstract

The objective of this research was to develop a piece of software for digital image projection aimed at the practice of non - idiomatic improvisation. Through the development of this digital apparatus we propose that this kind of musical practice can be mediated by images generated instantaneously by a computer. Starting from this hypothesis, we developed the software called "Improvise", whose purpose is to generate dynamical images that allow sensory stimulation for musicians during the process of non-idiomatic improvisation. The software generates videos without sound tracks that may have their visual characteristics modified in real time. Therefore, the research explored the possibility of working with digital images, as well as with a wide range of computational processing capable of generating dynamic landscapes, pointing to new ways of relating the sonic and visual universes in context of musical practice.
