Music Tech Forum - Week 1 - Synergy Project



The Synergy project was a group of artists discussing collaboration. Some focussed on the idea of collaboration in more detail, whilst most discussed various works they have collaborated on and how the have grown and developed as artists from these collaborations.

In terms of music, only one of the speakers really stood out. Ross Benicia. His program Audio Mulch was a very ingenuitive approach to the ever pressing difficulties of having improvisatory collaborations with 'traditional' instruments.

The reac-table is of course a brilliant extension of this idea. Creating a tactile interface which offers a hands on approach to creating electronic music in the same vague vain as learning a 'traditional' instrument. The fact that he collaborated with others to contribute to the production of the latest incarnations of the reac-table was very fitting.
