| An orchestra of automated acoustic instruments - most of which are based on toys - provides 'live' soundtracks to various on-screen animations. Via a touch screen 'jukebox' participants can choose from different ready-made clips, or, alternatively, select an on-screen orchestra of 39 'idle musicians'. Each on-screen musician is linked to a different sound in the acoustic orchestra surrounding the screen. The idle musicians can be animated by the touch of a finger and then trigger their respective sounds.
The idea of silent images accompanied by a live orchestra is very
similar to early cinema projections and the work of folio artists
where sound is created in real-time, synchronised to silent images.
