After working on a ‘Modern Conjuring for Amateurs’ with Leslie Deere back in 2016, I was invited back to help develop her new piece ‘Array Infinitive’. I was brought on board to develop a gestural interface for a new audio visual performance, aimed at creating a meditative, communal space in VR, with reactive audio and video elements controlled by Leslie in real time.

Here we took realtime control data from the hand controllers of the Oculus Quest system into Max, where i developed the interaction design, in turn driving changes and manipulating audio parameters inside Ableton Live, for the sound design developed by myself and Leslie.

This resulted in an audio visual performance instrument that Leslie would be able to learn like and instrument and perform to a group of participants wearing their own VR headsets.
