Mechanical Entanglement is a musical composition for three
performers. Three force feedback devices each containing
two haptic faders are mutually coupled using virtual linear springs and dampers. During the composition, the performers feel each others’ gestures and collaboratively process the music material. The interaction’s physical modelling parameters are modified during the different sections
of the composition. An algorithm which processthree stereo
channels, is stretching in and out-of-sync three copies of
the same music. The performers are controlling the stretching algorithm and an amplitude modulation effect, both
applied to recognisable classical and contemporary music
recordings. Each of them is substantially modifying the
length and the dynamics of the music and issimultaneously
affecting subtly or abruptly the gestural behaviour of the
other performers. At fixed points during the composition,
the music becomes gradually in sync and the performers
realign their gestures. This phasing game between gestures
and sound, creates tension and emphasises the physicality
of the performance.
