Video Concert Experiences. 2007-2008

Yiddish Dances by Adam Gorb
University of Denver Gates Concert Hall
The video above contains, excerpts from two of the video art pieces I designed in collaboration with video artist Stacey Sotosky and the Dr. Joseph Martin the conductor of the University of Denver's Lamont Wind Ensemble.
One of the main challenges I dealt with in this collaboration revolved around establishing a way to produce the projections that were to accompany the music. There were important technical demands as well as a keen importance on the content of the music. As a multidisciplinary team these concerts were bred from a desireto our arts through the juxtaposition of our aural and visual mediums.
For this production, along with my work as a video designer, I created a variable speed video playback interface. The interface allowed the synchronicity of a high quality video stream to be maintained directly to the live performance of the music.
