> *Overview*
>
> Regenwald 2011 is a contemporary re-interpretation of David Tudor?s
> series of compositions from the 1970?s entitled ?Rainforest?. It uses
> various types of sonic transducers to play live sounds through various
> resonant objects in the performance space, as well as through
> architectural features of the space itself. Additionally, an 8?8 matrix
> mixer allows the sound from any of the objects to be sent to any of the
> performers, making the whole piece an experiment in generative chaos.
>
> Regenwald 2011 will be developed in a workshop format with up to 8
> participants over a period of several days. The resulting work should
> shift between relatively static installation-like moments and
> performative sections where the artists seek new relationships with the
> objects and each other. The audience is free to move around the
> performance space, engage in conversations and explore the resonant
> objects, thus adding new life to the rainforest.
>
> A opening night presentation will introduce the concept of Regenwald
> 2011 and the context of ?Schematic as Score? as seen in the works of
> both David Tudor and John Cage.
>
> *Documentation*

> A rough schematic of a previous transducer system (Regenskog 2010) can
