Collective Participatory Performance for variable number of interpreters and variable number of smart devices, 2022

The algorithm contained and executed by the page provides a series of sine tones with a slow amplitude envelope, each lasting 50s (fade-in: 10s - fade-out: 10s). The algorithm adds a variable number of Hz unity (randomly chosen from 0 to 7) to the frequency indicated below. This sum is performed independently in each SmartDevices that accesses the page. The interpreters interact freely with SmartDevices, changing the risulting dynamics and timbre, any interaction with the soundsource cannot be excluded, physical ones are encouraged.

All the listeners are the interpreters. The interpreters are invited to follow the general indications of a conductor, the collective improvisation is the performance.
