Mince
The video for this piece was shot in the winter of 2000/01. I wanted to use video that needed no processing and explored the framing of objects and scenes. The excerpt below is the most recognizable in the whole piece: it is of Niagara Falls (Canada side) during The Festival of Lights.
Most of the sound was produced in Max/MSP. I wanted to play similar sounds over each of the five channels in 5.1 surround, which produces a very immersive effect. For the part heard in the excerpt I used a technique I call Temporal Filtering (or more specifically Spectral Cataloguing) that is described in this paper published in the proceedings of the 2001 International Computer Music Conference.
