This musical instrument is thus co-created by both a human maker and the non-human large snail which once inhabited it. In this installation, I place a microphone in the embouchure and a speaker at the end of the spiral canal and connect it through a software-mediated feedback system running on a micro-computer that hangs above the shell.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT";color:rgb(34,34,34)">Instead of performing these instruments and hearing their sounds as blown, we instead hear the spectral components of each shell over time. Through a pitch tracker, the system detects resonant feedback frequencies and temporarily cancels them, thereby pushing the system to lock onto a new frequency, and so on. The result is a sequence of resonant frequencies that derive from the shape of the shell and properties of the system; the shell’s shape is sung by feedback. Each shell-system is a collaboration between humans, conch-shells, and interactive systems, but also an interaction between all the shell-systems in the room, each with its own set of resonances.” JOLR</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT"">About Jaime Oliver La Rosa<u></u><u></u></span></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT";color:rgb(34,34,34)">Jaime Oliver La Rosa is a computer music composer, performer, sound artist, and researcher working at the intersection between musical instruments, installations, and open works. Oliver La Rosa’s music and research explores the concept of musical instrument in electronic and computer music, designing instruments that listen, understand, remember and respond. His open source Silent Drum and MANO controllers use computer vision techniques to continuously track and classify hand gestures; his [notes] library explores computer assisted notation and generative music in Pure Data and LilyPond.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT";color:rgb(34,34,34)">His work has been featured in international festivals and conferences, collaborating with several composers, improvisers and artists in a field of action that spans sound performance and installation, composing and performing music, both for concerts and for theater and dance, creating sound installations and programming open source software. He obtained a PhD in Computer Music from the University of California, San Diego, where he studied with Miller Puckette, and was Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University & the CMC in New York. He is currently Assistant Professor of Composition at NYU and co-director of the Waverly Labs.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT"">For additional information about</span><i><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT""> Caracoles IV</span></i><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT"">, please visit:</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT""><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT""><span style="color:rgb(17,85,204)"><a href="http://www.jaimeoliver.pe/caracoles-iv-2018" target="_blank">http://www.jaimeoliver.pe/caracoles-iv-2018</a></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT"">Read an interview with our last year’s winners </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT"">Jean Piché and Patrick Saint-Denis</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT""> here:<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT""><a href="http://www.fetafoundation.org/" target="_blank">http://www.fetafoundation.org/</a></span><span style="font-family:"Calisto MT";font-size:10pt"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT"">For more information about the FETA prize in Sound Art, please visit our website:</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT""> </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT""><a href="http://www.fetafoundation.org/" target="_blank">http://www.fetafoundation.org</a> or contact Paula M</span><span style="margin-left:73px;margin-top:692px;width:128px;height:34px"><img alt="Description: Description: ::Feta-Logo-Hi_res.jpg" width="128" height="34"></span><span style="margin-left:333px;margin-top:685px;width:57px;height:57px"><img alt="Description: Description: ::FETA-Web:harold-golden-gallery.gif" width="57" height="57"></span><span style="margin-left:411px;margin-top:688px;width:94px;height:44px"><img alt="Description: Description: ::FETA-Web:Miami-Dade Color.jpg" width="94" height="44"></span><span style="margin-left:219px;margin-top:690px;width:88px;height:27px"><img alt="Description: Description: http://www.dorschgallery.com/assets/img/ed-logo@3x.png" width="88" height="27"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT"">atthusen at <a href="mailto:matthusen@fetafoundation.org" target="_blank">matthuse</a></span><span style="margin-left:73px;margin-top:692px;width:128px;height:34px"><img alt="Description: Description: ::Feta-Logo-Hi_res.jpg" width="128" height="34"></span><a href="mailto:matthusen@fetafoundation.org" target="_blank"></a><span style="margin-left:333px;margin-top:685px;width:57px;height:57px"><img alt="Description: Description: ::FETA-Web:harold-golden-gallery.gif" width="57" height="57"></span><a href="mailto:matthusen@fetafoundation.org" target="_blank"></a><span style="margin-left:411px;margin-top:688px;width:94px;height:44px"><img alt="Description: Description: ::FETA-Web:Miami-Dade Color.jpg" width="94" height="44"></span><a href="mailto:matthusen@fetafoundation.org" target="_blank"></a><span style="margin-left:219px;margin-top:690px;width:88px;height:27px"><img alt="Description: Description: http://www.dorschgallery.com/assets/img/ed-logo@3x.png" width="88" height="27"></span><a href="mailto:matthusen@fetafoundation.org" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT"">n@fetafoundation.org</span></a><span style="margin-left:73px;margin-top:692px;width:128px;height:34px"><img alt="Description: Description: ::Feta-Logo-Hi_res.jpg" width="128" height="34"></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT""><u></u><u></u></span></p><div><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT""> </span><br class="m_-6836629805131419965m_-5766324937920305896webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Calisto MT"">With the support of Foundation of Emerging Technologies and Arts, Emerson Dorsch Gallery, Harold Golen Gallery and the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p></div>
