The main aim we were trying to archive was the integration of the audio-visual content and the application of the direct response effect. Using all possible means of the technical aspect of an instrument. Line was a live presentation of decoding graphical notation. Inspiring video in the form of a minutes loop was translated into virtual violin sequences that were following graphical motifs. This way of “decoding” an abstract notation produced a broad range of atypical sounds, which opened a clear insight into the “natural” effects and sound capacity of a classical instrument. The performer was using a ZOOM 8080 sound processor as a minimal electronic device for volume and colour control.
