This is 4th version of our installation "Archifon" made in cooperation with INITI.org (http://www.initi.org/) featured at Glasgow festival Somica (http://sonic-a.co.uk/sonica-2017/?set=2). Title: Re: Archifon IV review from The Scotsman.com Post by: Alex on November 08, 2017, 10:20:29 pm "Magical interactive installation Archifon IV (*****), however, made for a spectacular conclusion to the festival’s eclectic offerings. Czech-based Tomáš Dvořák and Dan Gregor (otherwise known as Floex and Initi) had transformed the chancel of Glasgow University’s Memorial Chapel into a giant electronic musical instrument, with columns as gigantic faders, statues providing angelic voices, and arches, stone slabs and more offering skittering tones, its dense digital animations and throbbing sounds brought alive by laser pointers. It was as entrancing as it was playful, but far more than simply a plaything. It was the sheer inventiveness and richness of the work’s hundreds of constituent elements, and the subtle interactions between sounds and animations, that made it really special, so that a trio of users could join together to create something truly musical from its teeming details. An absolute delight." ~link (http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/culture/music/festival-review-sonica-various-venues-glasgow-1-4606813) |
