CT is based on Zsolt Gyenes' computer tomograph animations. Computer tomography (CT) is a medical imaging method employing tomography created by computer processing. If properly used, the "object" normally is the human body. In case of "improper use" different objects (like wires in this case) placed in the tomograph, photographed and animated, create unexpected results in form of abstract moving images. The animation does not have any particular meaning, it works like a Rochard test, where the expressive qualities, meanings are added by the subjects. The music serves here as a tool to particularize the expressivity of the visual system. Different sonic interpretations of the same visual gestures are produced by an interactive music system, which parameters are modified in real time by the performer. A multidimensional timbre space was created allowing to navigate between different sonorities and musical expressions.
The music is controlled with the data extracted from the analysis of the video. The video is performed real time.
The piece has an open form put together from fragments of directed improvisations.
CT was realized and is performed by MAX/MSP/Jitter software.
