“…The Bindle offers a solution to the problem of distributing software to participants. While not completely dynamic, like Steven David Beck's GRENDL (Beck 2010), the conductor's ability to enable and disable tools through the Bindle allows any module to be readily available in performance. The conductor can enable a particular application and then it can be launched by participants.…”

Network Socio-Synthesis and Emergence in NOMADS

2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

NOMADS (Network-Operational Mobile Applied DigitalSystem) is a network client-server-based system for participant interaction in music and multimedia performance contexts. NOMADS allows large groups of participants, including the audience, to form a mobile interactive computer ensemble distributed across a network. Participants become part of a synergistic interaction with other performers, contributing to the multimedia performance. The system enhances local performance spaces, and it can integrate audiences located in multiple performance venues. Individual user input from up to thousands of simultaneous users across a network is synthesised into a single emergent sound and visual structure in an approach we call socio-synthesis. This paper recounts research leading up to NOMADS, outlines its technological architecture, and describes several implementations. Current applications include the telematic opera Auksalaq, and performances by the MICE Orchestra. The authors also consider the potential of large-scale human-computer ensembles as a paradigm for composition and performance.
