Alan S. Tofighi will perform the composition Psychic Hold/Tychic Drift III: Memory Cone & Phantasms of the Living Room for PEAR REG, alpha wave, electronics, and home appliances. Throughout the piece events, musical, electronic, and mechanical will be activated and made visible by the otherwise invisible synchronization between the performer and the random event generator. Modular synths, motors, acoustical phenomena of the space, and other resonances will be performed throughout the space and work. The events will be connected and chained to a series of Logic systems revealing and subverting their own network for a telematic improvisation on spectres and the spectral.
Participants form the workshop are invited to perform as the Psychic Drift Ensemble bringing their random event generators and personal home appliances further expanding the network of synchronization in the real and the implied.
