THE STREAMER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY
Performance and virtual tour.
An artist pushes a strange wagon, loaded with various instruments through space. All you can hear are the wheels on the floor, sometimes a saxophone, sometimes a voice.
In reality the walking musician creates a live soundtrack for the moving picture which is filmed by a 360° camera, attached to the trolley. The result is a musical, virtual tour in shape of an interactive 360° Video. The audience can choose its individual perspective by dragging the image on their streaming device or simply - in case of tablets and smartphones - by turning on its own axis.
Duration: 10 - 20 minutes
Location:
Any visually appealing location suits for this concept. Whether a museum, a gallery, an architecturally engaging building or a remarkable historic center - most importantly it has a story to tell, willing to combine with music.
Preparation and composition:
For each location is its own peculiar music created. While the bigger part of preparation and postproduction is completed at home, parts of the compositional and creative work have to be done on the spot, so that the temporal and musical sequence can be adapted perfectly to the location characteristics.
For 10 minutes of video and music we calculate approximately 1 day of work on the spot.
Video example, filmed in Tito's Bunker in Konjic in Bosnia and Herzegovina:
Audiovisual Solo-Performance
The most inspiring moments of the successful realized video-performances of the last 2 years will be presented in form of a 60 minutes long solo concert.
The audience will be guided on a musical journey to the lately portrayed places of arts and culture while getting to know interesting details in form of anecdotes and video footage, which will be projected onto a screen.
Musicwise the project is very much open to any kind of musical style. From folk elements and electronic music to classical melodies and pop music - every kind finds its way into this music which - with it's major portion of improvisation - can be subsumed under the big expression named 'jazz'.

Workshop
Speaking with Lukas Schiemer about the technical details but also the artistic background students can learn to know all important details about the project. From hardware and software to creative processes while preparation or postproduction - in case of specific interest the whole workflow can be analyzed to the last detail.
