1999 FEB 5
THE NET OPERA
SERGIO MALTAGLIATI & TED WARNELL
The Net Opera
is an new interactive work for the Web from Italian composer
Sergio Maltagliati. Starting in the spring of 1999, the
interactive work will be presented simultaneously in real
and cyberspace.
The opera is an audio and visual work, and you are invited to
participate by contributing original audio/visuals...
"If you want to express your ideas, experiences, and
feelings in music and images, you can help to create the
Opera."
The Net Opera
is looking for audio and visual contributions from online
participants. Material submitted may be incorporated into
the opera performances.
If you have a still or animated visual, or sound file not
larger than 300k, you are welcome to contribute it to this
public collage. You can send your original sound and image
files attached to email to: <maltaser@dada.it>
Why not?
How interesting is watching stocks go up and down anyway?!?
OUCH! Hope that one wasn't yours...
The Interact section
contains Net Musical Instruments for home use and for direct
participation in the live opera. You can download the necessary
program files and run interactive visual interfaces to music and
sound on your home system. You can also send data from your own
performance directly to the Net Opera live performances --
live, physical performers will stop periodically to invite
virtual Internet performers to take over...
"We encourage all of our Web audiences to participate
in as many ways as they can."
Starting in the spring of 1999, you will be able to interact
and perform directly with the Net Opera! During the performances,
you can access the Net Opera site and play a Net Instrument
(with a visual interface, music, and sound). Your performance
will be sent to the Net Opera servers, where it will be processed
in real time and performed for a live audience.
More information
about the Net Opera can be found at the Web site, plus Net
instrument downloads, mailing list to receive information on
developments and upcoming performances, contact, etc.
Check it out! Gotta be a whole lot more fun that looking at graphs
and tables... and to Sergio, thanks for the notice and best wishes
for the Net Opera performances!
