These videos are demonstrations and documentation of a series of Multi art experiments performed at Fylkingen during 2008-2009 The experiments include improvisations in several art forms organised around simple spatial restrictions created with lighting and using projected images. Voiced poetry and improvised music accompany dance movement through these spaces.

A long dance and music improvisation within a space defined by three coloured lights and black vertical pillar. Very nice demonstration of improvised flow with different tempii, constellations of dancers and musicians and their interactions.

A short, introductory improvisation for two dancers, autopoet piano and guitar. The scenic space is built with a single white light and a black vertical pillar which creates high contrast shadows for the dancers to move through. This space is further explored in the following two pieces but this one documents the spontaneous reaction of the dancers on the space. Playful.
The autopoet is a small computer program, written in PD (pure data) that interleaves prerecorded voiced text fragments with piano pieces created by an analysis of the tonal characteristics of a voice reading text. In this piece, it is set to generate only the voice based piano sounds with a variable delay between fragments.

Experiment with still and live projections leading up to the use of projections in the Rock Wall collage and two part Performance below. Nice documentation of how the the concepts evolved in improvisations.

Experiment with a collage of projected still images and video recordings of an earlier experiment (3 Lights) projected onto a stage with heterogeneous surfaces and levels. Dancers move slowly in this space to the tones of Kristers Bass clarinet. Visually very rich.

Video documentation of a performance illustrating some of the elements used in our experiments. The video consists of two parts, the first using a variation of the projections used in the Contrast series above, the second a variation on the Rock Wall Collage using a mix of textured backgrounds and projected video from 3 lights. This is a more or less an uncut take from the performance at Fylkingen on 2009-06-14.
