List of Performances

The following is a list of performances and lectures given during the research period. 

Research Concert at Dokkhuset, Trondheim 

This hour-and-a-half-long video says almost everything that needs to be said about my Conducting Digital System ConDiS.

Research Concert at the Organ Room, Olavshallen, Trondheim 

An eight-voice version of the Hljóðs bið ekfor 14 voices was performed at the Olavshallen Organ Room in Olavshallen on June 24, 2015. It inspired some early thinking about the importance of a simple graphical interface. Forgetting to press an on/off button had me conducting without any response from the system. I realized this very late in the performance, too late to make it a successful demonstration. Still it was a valuable lesson for me as I moved forward in the process.

Test Concert at Dokkhuset, Trondheim, Norway

Performed at the Virtuoso Listener Festival in Trondheim, November 24, 2017

The Dokkhuset concert was a typical trial concert testing out various technical and practical elements. This was partly the case since I was still looking for the right sonority based on my extended notation experimentation. During the rehearsal period, substantial time was therefore spent rehearsing the ensemble without the electronics. For that reason, the electronics did not come into the rehearsal process until the last day of rehearsal. This did not leave enough time for the performers to digest the sonic extension to their instruments or the overall sound of the ensemble. Nor did it give Halldis enough time to study the possibilities and musical advantages of the conducting system. The rehearsal time that I thought would be plenty turned out to be not enough. 

The concert at Dokkhuset was unsatisfactory, not in a performance sense, but rather in terms of overall sound quality.
