Sound work and performance in collaboration with Eric Chenaux and The Tristanos (now defunct). The Tristanos played a range of tunes, mostly ones written by Eric but others as well, like "Moon River". I performed with the musicians. In order to do this, I made a small, percussion version Soundball #4. A soundball is a sound object and instrument containing light and pre-recorded sound. Soundball #3 is the larger version. These 6 inch soundballs are mounted on stands and located between the musicians and the audience. When activated by a musician via a foot switch, the ball lights up and plays whammied, flerbed or wha-wha’d audio of that musician playing that particular tune. Soundball #4 is a smaller 4 inch version that contained a variety of sounds made by the musicians, whammied, flerbed or wha-wha’d.
