Dyad - sonic & visual improvisation - a project by jasch + deKam
With their project DYAD, jasch and deKam explore
the symbiotic relationship between sound and image in a live, improvisational
context. Sonic and visual expressions are based on a unified logical
structure, their processes influencing each other through a network
link, a pair of vectors juxtaposed.
Constant exchange between the performers and their software agents characterize
the presence and interaction as much in the digital domain as in the
physical + gestural space. Their open, networked system stimulates flexiblity
and surprise as key elements of each real-time performance.

Dyad: Sonic Visual Improvisations,
is the collaboration between Johnny DeKam and Jasch.
We toured throughout Europe & North America between 2001 and 2003. Both artists wrote there own custom software in Max/MSP, each designed to exchange control parameters over a local network, creating a kind of iterative feedback loop (sound controlling video controlling sound etc).
The visual performance always included a small set of objects/props shot with two cameras and hand controlled LED lighting. A microphone was trained on the ‘puppet set’ which would be used as a source for audio sampling and manipulation.
