Exploded Ensemble is a student driven experimental composition studio at Carnegie Mellon University. Each performer is also a composer of two pieces per term that are performed as a group. Both of these pieces took place during the coronavirus pandemic and we had to come up with new innovative ways of performing together across distances. The first image is a piece I wrote entitled Flashlight Tag where the performers used their flashlights to control Max for Live patches of variable samples and could alter the pitch and volume of their samples by moving the light around on the screen. The second image is from Performing Synethesia a similar piece that I created to control midi arpeggiators with a color selected object.
