CANVAS INSTRUMENT
Performance movie --> http://youtu.be/X76p_xGRmek
Using the same principle of a string telephone played by kids, this device delivers frictional vibrations of the canvas made by stroke of an artist -- JAZOO Yang through metal springs to a musician -- haku sungho.
The collected sounds from the device are taken into a computer and simultaneously the musician proceeds sampling and recording the sounds. The sounds (of strokes) are amplified and affected by prepared speakers and a guitar amp,
and it conveys the trajectory of the painter's motion to the painter herself again. Every sound source is oscillated from the canvas.
The main concept of this device is involving the inevitable sounds made by bodily movements of the painter
and making the musical order deviated from what the painter could expect.
