Duets with Orchid (2017)

Duets with Orchid performance at Wherehouse Art Hotel, December 2017

Using the MIDI Sprout, Caitlyn Swett (dancermaker) and Zach Cooper (live electronics) invite audience members to witness a physical and audio installation. The installation includes two duets and a trio with an orchid controlling a synthesizer. The MIDI Sprout uses biofeedback technology to capture electrical signals in plant cells and converts them to MIDI data (digital music language).
