Music Animation Machine: Stephen Malinowski at TEDxZurich
The subtleties and intricate patterns at the core of DNA of western classical music mdash;which have enchanted and fascinated people for centuries mdash;still challenge us today: how do we find our way into a musical language developed long ago and containing considerable structural complexities? Musician and inventor Stephen Malinowski uses a simple visual approach to stimulate our ability to build expectations and thereby enhance our engagement with the music. In this TEDx performance, Malinowski uses a newly-developed version of his Music Animation Machine software which allows him to synchronize his graphical score in a live performance. Violinist Etienne Abelin who collaborated on the development of this technology will play music of Johann Sebastian Bach, together with pianist Dorothy Yeung. Born in Santa Monica, California, USA in 1953, Stephen Malinowski studied composition with Thea Musgrave, Peter Fricker and Stanley Krebs. He started working on the Music Animation Machine in the 1970s, writing computer software in the 1980s, selling videotapes of his animations in the 1990s and working as a developer of psychoacoustically-inspired audio processing algorithms in 2001. In 2011 he created the animations for Bjrk #39;s Biophilia app. He developed the live synchronization tool in 2012 and premiered it together with Etienne Abelin of classYcal in October 2012 with the Nuernberg Symphony Orchestra, at TEDxZurich and at the Ynight -- Classical in Club in Zurich.
