UNI

for Radio Drum and Keyboard [2000]

UNI was a piece composed and performed by Andrew Schloss and myself. A structured improvisation in both audio and video. It had just recently become possible to process video on the computer in realtime, and we were excited by the possibilities. I collected the video sources near my home in Seattle. Short clips of bamboo, gravel, and other things found in a waterfront park were manipulated live using Onadime Composer. Sound material was gathered from these clips and other sources, and processed using Max/MSP.

[...] la incursión de Schloss y Jones es la legítima propuesta de integración de las llamadas músicas étnicas como referentes de una nueva creación.  Es una propuesta desprejuiciada y descolonizadora que apunta a situar en condiciones de plena igualdad las relaciones entre la "academia" contemporánea y la cultura popular.
– Pedro de la Hoz, Granma
