Interact I
Interact I was written for flutist ElizabethMcNutt. The score consists of three large pieces of paper, all of which must be visible to the flutist in performance. The flutist chooses materials to play according to some simple rules in response to the computer. The computer follows the flutist and makes changes in output according to where it determines the performer is in the score and how much it has heard the flutist play sequentially. Thus, the flutist shapes the piece in performance. Score following techniques developed for this piece were further enhanced by John Lawter, who developed an external object for MAX. Thanks John, thanks Elizabeth. Here is a paper written about the following object, published in the proceedings of the 1998 International Computer Music Conference.
