Laeterna Machina uses body sensors patched to the dancer. They measure the movements of the performers and send the signal wirelessly to our computers and home made software.
The raw movement signal is then converted to code that we can use to manipulate directly video, light and sound. We are mostly using the MAX/MSP graphical programming environment, with some drops of PureData, and the MIDI protocol.
With such a system, the performer creates the music with his movements together with the musician and the video artist. Body gesture filters, triggers and transforms sounds and pictures in an unpredictible and complex live show.
