pubs.rights-statement	Light Traces is a live performance work for analogue music and video synthesisers. Research background This research sits in FOR 190203 Electronic Media Art. Brigid Burke has developed a performance and research practice in visual music incorporating video collage projections with live performance. Warren Burt has explored visual music performance created in real-time through the use of computer software. Gordon Monro has researched creating visual music works writing custom software to create both pre-rendered computer music and digital video works. The research question addressed by this project is: can light and sound be combined through direct analogue mapping to create a hybrid visual music instrument for live performance? Research contribution Light Traces demonstrates a unique example of mapping light to sound and sound to light in a live performance context through the creation of an ensemble of light-controlled analogue music synthesisers and an analogue video synthesiser. Light Dependent Resistors (LDR) are used as control interfaces for the synthesisers, pulses of light creating rhythmic patterns, light intensity controlling timbre. The sounds created by this ensemble of lo-fi maker instruments are then used to create video projections using a hand made lo-fi video synthesiser. Light Traces creates visual music through video synthesis controlled by parameters usually associated with sound. Separate volume, pitch and frequency modulations are assigned to image “oscillators” defining the red, green and blue outputs of the video synthesiser. Research significance This work was selected via peer review for the New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference performance series (NIME 2016).	en_US
