THE GLASS BEAD FIELD

Music is a true purgation. In a game as well as in music there are certain rules and an endless variation of the plot (game situation) brings them together. We got interested by changing of personal emotional state during the game. Every game is full of the whole spectrum of human emotions.

Players by their actions make a musical composition, which fully reflects their emotional background. In real time we transfer players’ emotional state, connected with a game into a musical composition, by that means we are developing the idea of co-operation of personal feelings with the junk world of music.

The installation contains a big board for the game of go, a camera, a computer that determines the process of the game and creates a special spectrum of sounds for every individual move.

As a result the game turns into a music trek, interpretation if every move, based on the time difference between moves, the difficulty of the situation on the board and a terminality stroke.
