'Improvisation' is an improvisation exploring physical and digital feedback, as
well as "wrong" usage of audio streaming via the UDP protocol, taking advantage
of the distortion created when streaming locally with very small block sizes. It
is a result of a new set exploring the relationship between software and
hardware, using a BeagleBoard controlled with an Arduino as a compact computer
and controller bundle, plus a small amplifier, a mixing console and a contact
microphone.
The combination of the contact microphone with the amplifier is used for physical feedback which gives an impression to the sense of touch as an acoustic instrument does -very small changes in the position of the microphone and the pressure applied to it, cause big timbre changes. The sound is also being locally transmitted and fed back from the receiver to the transmitter utilising the 8bit format of the transmitting object class, in order to create harsh noise.

The schedule is a major guideline. There is no guarantee events will take place at the announced timeslot.
