Conference Schedule

Divertimento de Cocina ("Kitchen Divertimento" in English) stages several "kitchen scenes", with sounds and rhythms layered, controlled and triggered by a live performer. Kitchen utensils are mixed, transformed and orchestrated in real-time through a LaunchPad controller and a custom set of SuperCollider classes and programs. What are initially extremely simple rhythms get progressively more complicated as they are layered together in increasingly thicker textures in the initial section of the piece. While the performer walks you through different soundscapes, the initial rhythms form the backbone and guide for the rest of the piece. The SuperCollider program also spatializes all sounds under the control of the performer in a 3D soundscape that can be diffused through an arbitrary number of speakers (the original soundstream is internally generated in Ambisonics, with at least 3rd order periphonic resolution).
