Scrapple Golan Levin and Sue Costabile
The Media Centre [i]
8.30pm

In the Scrapple performance, objects placed on a table are interpreted as sound-producing marks in an active score. The system makes use of a variety of playful physical forms: in particular, long flexible curves allow for the creation of melodies, while an assemblage of simple felt shapes, small objects and windup toys yield ever-changing rhythms. In addition to these objects, the performers draw directly onto the table, drafting immediately apprehensible relationships between sound and image. Graphic layers superimposed onto the Scrapple table transform the surface into a simple augmented reality, in which the objects become elaborated through luminous and explanatory computer graphics. The 2-meter long table produces a 4-second audio loop, allowing the performers to experiment freely with tangible, improvisatory audiovisual composition.
