Scrapple (Performance)

2005 | Golan Levin with Sue Costabile and Gregory Shakar

Scrapple (Performance)

Scrapple (2005: Golan Levin) is an audiovisual performance in which everyday objects placed on a table are interpreted as sound-producing marks in an “active score.” The Scrapple system scans a table surface as if it were a kind of music notation, producing music in real-time from any objects lying there. The 3-meter long table produces a 4-second audio loop, allowing the performers to improvise audiovisual compositions in real-time.

Scrapple exists in both installation and performance formats. More information about the interactive installation version of Scrapple can be found here.
