| Long abstract | In this chapter, we present an attempt to reinterpret aspects of Xenakis's work in the context of 21st century performance practice using live-coding and embodied performance or dance with sensors. We explain how we created and a variant of the game-matrix from Xenakis’s composition Duel (1959), and how we used it to guide a live-coding performance following game-playing rules derived from Duel. We discuss the implications of adapting this formal scheme to a performance setting where a dancer controls the sounds live-coded by two players through movements tracked using wearable wireless sensors. Finally, we report on the resulting performance and discuss in general terms how the live-coding and gesture-control combined approach compares to the original composition setting for orchestra by Xenakis according to our experience. |
