Musify + Gamify - Vivid

Overview

Musical chairs was only the beginning of the fascination between play and music. Digital technology has not just scaled music composition down into the laptops (or smartphones) of bedroom producers, it has streamed beyond them to an alternate reality in which symphonies now emerge from many people simply interacting in public spaces.

Musify + Gamify, one of the curated programs under the Vivid Music @ Seymour 2015 umbrella, is a clear lens into the world of intertwined game and music. A keystone exhibition runs from May 26 to June 6 featuring a swathe of local and international experiments in emergent, interactive music production from artists including Lucas Abela, Michaela Davies and the Futile Research Lab.

Curated by Drs. Ollie Bown and Lian Loke, Musify + Gamify hosts a panel discussion and two separate concerts showcasing the works of Ensemble Offspring, Alon Ilsar, 7Bit Hero and more musicians oscillating between interactive tech and dancing air particles.
