“Tetralume” (2018)
Creative direction, fabrication and lighting design by Ben Guerrette and Kyle Smith. Music composition & production by Timothy “ill poetic” Gmeiner and Danny “Ason Intrigue” Rogers. Motion and dance by Ashlee Cinco
About: Tetralume is a twelve-minute light and sound performance built on a tetrahedron structure, with choreographed lighting mapped to an original score. The piece takes you on a journey through an eclectic electronic soundscape, blending visuals and music into an immersive experience.
The piece features original movement by performer Ashlee Cinco and marked my first audiovisual collaboration with Ben Guerrette, who I’ve since worked with on many projects. I and frequent collaborator Danny “Ason Intrigue” Rogers composed a dynamic score with shifting time signatures and tempos, which challenged Kyle and Ben to map light-to-sound choreography using a custom sequencer built in TouchDesigner.
