They meet remotely in a networked multi-user world, where, together as avatars, they imagine, build and play new cyberworld audiovisual instruments while experimenting with identity, perception, telepathy and collectivity. Their HUD instruments determine movement, audio emissions, and the release of particles and textures that give visual indications of sounds made independently by individual players in real time. Their performances, without input streaming, are created completely within the networked 3-D environment world Second Life, which the artists consider an instrument to explore and push as well as a venue. Since 2007, they have developed and embraced a sustained collective telematic evolution that informs their listening, creation, and performance skills, as their brains and bodies reorient and adapt in deep drift inside digital and networked technologies. </span></p></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span id="docs-internal-guid-c1eb7eea-7fff-828d-d40f-07e81740776d"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Breathing PwRHm</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> by </span><a href="https://tina-pearson.com/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tina M Pearson</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is a development of a work commissioned by the Deep Listening® Foundation in 2008. It explores two facets of multi-user 3D environments: presence and intimacy between visceral, virtual and telepathic worlds; and the electric hum – the voice of the power grids that make it possible for us to connect in this way. Sonically, it explores the relationship of the Alternating Current (AC) of the North American (60 Hz) and European/Asian (50 Hz) electric systems through two sets of tones representing the harmonic series of the two ACs, and modified sound samples of electric motors and generators from each continent. The result is a soundworld of just-intonation harmonies, beat frequencies, and microtone textures as the two systems meet. In performance, the remotely located performers’ individual breath rhythms determine the timing and pacing of tones they play; the Europeans’ cue is their exhale, the North Americans’ cue is their inhale. This breathcentred performance practice simultaneously focuses and extends the players’ attention while providing temporal structure and pacing for the piece. Globes held by the avatars are 'receivers' that emit differently coloured particles according to their particular AC instrument, and the pitch and volume of the specific sounds they each play in real time. Avatar animations, choreography, real time conducting, and the telematic symbiosis of the globally dispersed players create a kind of surreal entrainment inside the wired worlds that power our connectivity.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38;

<p style="text-align: left;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="font-size: x-small;">The Avatar Orchestra performed during a networked performance extravaganza at La Casa Encidida in Madrid, Spain. Hosted by AOM member Gema FB Martin, the performance afforded audience members a chance to experience the virtual set, sights and sounds directly through one of our generic extra avatars, which was connected to a computer with very large monitor, and 10 extra sets of headphones for additional listening by others. (See pre-performance set up below).</span></p>

explore new contexts and possibilities for their work. Oliveros'
belief in the possibilities of connection, of listening beyond the

AOM beyond what it thought possible. Her modelling of community,

Heart of Tones</i></span></span><span lang="fr-FR"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">,
a tone is minutely explored in the smallest possible increments
within a half tone above and below a prescribed pitch, through
subtle timbre variations and spatial movements by performers on
virtual and physical instruments. </span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This
is accomplished with a custom Heart of Tones (HoT) virtual instrument
designed within Second Life, in collaboration with Oliveros and the
Avatar Orchestra luthier, Andreas Müller. The instrument</span></span><span lang="fr-FR"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
includes individual controls for volume, duration, frequency and
colour spectrum of 95 microtones within the space of a half tone
above and below D4 (296Hz). The instrument also includes avatar
animations, and exacting choreography performed by the avatars is
designed to provide subtle varations and evolutions in the perception
of the received sound. The resultant beats, timbre shifts and audio
illusions create rhythms, transformations and textures </span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">that
are precisely mirrored in visual colour spectrum shifts on activated
capes worn by the avatar performers. </span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
focus is on listening to the acoustic beat frequencies and the

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ten composers, artists and musicians spread through
Europe and North America meet in a networked virtual world. There, together as
avatars, they design and play new otherworldly virtual instruments while
experimenting with identity, perception, telepathy and collectivity. The
instruments determine movement, audio emissions, and the release of particles
and textures that give visual indications of sounds made independently by individual
players in real time. There is no streaming involved – the performance is created
completely within the networked 3-D environment world Second Life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Breathing the Network Electric</span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> by Tina M Pearson uses two sets
of sine tones tuned to the harmonic series of the AC currents of North America
and Europe. Separated by continents, AC frequencies and instrument sets, the
two groups of performers play according to their individual breath rhythms
while exploring sonic phenomena effects and the pure just intoned sonic
relationships that occur when they meet within the 3-D virtual world. A separate
set of instruments built on the processed field recordings of electric motors
from each continent gives added possibilities. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Avatar Orchestra Metaverse has been invited to present a live performance at the <a href="http://www.vectorfestival.org/" target="_blank">Vector Game Art Festival</a> in Toronto, Canada on February 23, 2014.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In preparation for this event, the AOM collective's globally networked mind has pulled together ideas from its almost seven years' of working together to create a story that links its soundart and music origins with the virtual possibilities of networked performance art, theatre, games, and breath-guided telematics. </span></div>

This special performance will feature new collaborations created by the Orchestra specifically for the Vector Game Art Festival, and will include a live video stream of the audience on screen within the virtual environment, inviting interaction and awareness between the telematic performers and their spectators.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">One of the major ideas about this piece is to have the orchestra to wander from a fragile and fragmented digital synthesized sound texture into a more analog acoustic and not so fragmented sound texture, and then come back to where it all started. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is aurally symbolized in the granulated synthesized sounds of sine waves, square waves and sawtooth shaped sounds.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On July 12, 2013, the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse presented a workshop and performance at the First International <a href="http://deeplistening.org/site/conference" target="_blank">Deep Listening Art / Science Conference</a> at the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Centre (<a href="http://empac.rpi.edu/" target="_blank">EMPAC</a>) in Troy, New York.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was an honour to be part of this astonishing gathering of listeners, thinkers, educators, researchers and artists. This was a particularly exciting event for the six AOM members who were at the conference, many meeting in person for the first time. Bjorn Eriksson traveled to Troy from Sweden; Tina Pearson from Victoria, Canada; Brenda Hutchinson and Viv Corringham from New York, Norman Lowrey from New Jersey and Pauline Oliveros came from her nearby home in Kingston, New York.</span><br />

“fragment”, “fragile”, “fragula” and “Dracula”, was one of the first pieces of
AOM, and continues to be a widely performed signature piece. One of its major
ideas is to have the orchestra to wander from a fragile and fragmented digital
synthesized sound texture into a more analog acoustic and not so fragmented
sound texture, and then come back to where it all started. This is aurally symbolized
in the granulated synthesized sounds of sine waves, square waves and sawtooth
shaped sounds. Arpeggiated synthetic figures then gradually transform into
the sounds of an old harmonium with imprecise playing. A time stretched harmonium provides a
transitional sound between the digital and analog sound sources. <br />
Three sets of instruments are played simultaneously, creating chordal sound textures.

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-GB">Aleatricity is 200 years of science,
technology and cultural history put into a noisy little piece, with
Frankenstein as the glue sticking it all together. Aleatricity uses only
samples generated by circuit-bent instrument and homemade oscillators. Thus,
these sounds cannot be assigned to a definite pitch or scale, they seem to be
aleatoric at first glance. But upon a closer look at the technology of their
electronic generation, one quickly realizes that they are not: they are created
by unambiguous laws of digital logic, following simple yes/no-decisions. This
is reflected in the title: "Aleatricity" is a blend of
"aleatoric" (random) and "electricity", two words whose
close relation is being illustrated by the visual realization in Second Life:
the accidental discovery of the nerve-system by Luigi Galvani and the act of
writing against the boredom of a rainy summer by Mary Shelley, which procreated
the world's first science-fiction novel "Frankenstein" are brought
into a visual and acoustic relation which exemplifies that seemingly
unconnected things are often closely related.</span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB">PwRHm</span></i></b><span lang="EN-GB"> <span style="font-size: x-small;">explores electricity and connectivity through the relationship of
two sets sine tones tuned to the harmonic series of the Alternating Currents of
the North American (60 Hz) and European/Asian (50 Hz) electric systems;
modified field recordings of electric motors and generators from each
continent; and the live breath rhythms of the globally dispersed players. Each avatar/player plays one or more instruments according to their present geographic
location to create the soundworld of the piece, with breath rhythms determining
pacing and intensity. The main group of players sounds two sets of sine tones
juxtaposed, offering an intimate exploration of the insides of a just minor
third, and the resulting textures of beats and difference tones. Two soloists
play a selection of tuned generator and motor sounds. The piece is a question
about the possibilities of musical expressiveness with such pared down
materials in a context of telematic conducting and improvisation in a visually
charged environment, ie) can we meet like this and make a new kind of wired
music?</span></span></div>

realization of the depth of our journey in hybrid realities. Having met in the
virtual world of Second Life, Liz Solo and Tina Pearson meet here in St John’s
to move forward their mutual questions about where the virtual and non-virtual
meet, where they differ and if there is a difference. Within the “home” and
safety of the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse’s strongly developed telematic
improvisation skills, the onsite performers and virtual performers attempt a
kind of hybrid communication using gesture, sound, voice, text and memory.
While becoming increasingly digitized, hybridized and wired in many aspects of
their lives, the artists also draw upon a recognition of pervasive longing, for
a real or imagined past, present or future that has had a significant influence
on their work.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Avatar Orchestra performed a live AOMprovisation at the recent <a href="http://locusonus.org/index_en.php" target="_blank">Locus Sonus</a> Symposium #7 in Nantes, France, organized by Locus Sonus Director Jerome Joy. The Symposium's theme was <b>Internet Auditoriums</b>:</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i><span id="s13"><span id="s13" style="padding: 2px;">This symposium will focus on auditoriums, their interrelations and influences within a technological framework and from the point of view of artistic assimilation and reception. Our intention is to clarify both current and past issues, which up until now have possibly been considered from a unique viewpoint. Thus, this reflexion convokes various domains: sound anthropology, sociology of communication, history and geography of sound spaces, acoustics, architecture, musicology, radiophonic studies, art history, aesthetics, philosophy, etc. And of course, artistic and musical creativity. </span></span></i><span id="s13"><span id="s13" style="padding: 2px;">(from the Symposium description)</span></span><i><span id="s13"><span id="s13" style="padding: 2px;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">AOM member Pauline Oliveros was a key guest presenter and performer at the Symposium, and was the onsite "conduit" between AOM, Locus Sonus and the audience.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">AOM members performed in real time with a collection of virtual audio-visual instruments designed by its members. The instruments included giant pianos, particle emitting sine tone globes, delicately crafted Singing Masks, flying Fragulas, glitch-based exoskeletons triggering enormous biology experiment shapes and many others.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
