A Belted Vinyl Monitor Live at The Granoff Center, Brown University :|: Sat, April 28, 2012
If you look at side horse dead on, it looks like a horse hiding behind something, peaking out at ya. But there's nothing there to hide behind - it just doesn't have that side. More often than is realistically plausible, we are confronted by a gang of enormous prudes. They like to ask us "does a side horse come prepared?" "How does one proctor a side horse?" "What is symptomatic of a side horse on the prowl?" It is very challenging to answer this kind of nonsense without losing your sense of touch. We prefer to stay in touch with as much side horse as makes the horses themselves the most comfortable. You can tell when a side horse is comfortable by how dripping wet are its gums. And now hold on just a second - you never want to tell a side horse which side it is. You never want to tell a side horse anything. It is still a variety of horse. It is not something to hold a conversation with. You must be thinking with your spines…

Oleophobic
Oleophobic - live at Pixilerations from Arvid Tomayko-Peters on Vimeo.
by Arvid Tomayko-Peters and Steve Schwartz
Oleophobic is a live performance piece where colored oil and water blobs are manipulated on stage to create live visuals and music. The polar and non-polar liquids repel each other and create slowly morphing shapes that are tracked by a camera and used to control sound though additive synthesis and sample scrubbing. The blobs also form 'notes' within a looping sequencer that can be overlaid onto any rectangular area of the video by the performer and sped up, slowed down, reversed and split between two independent instruments. Pan, volume and other parameters are also controlled by various attributes of the individual blobs such as size, location and elongation.
The same oleophobic and hydrophobic properties of molecules that keep this oil and water separate also form the basis of the construction of the cell membranes of every living organism, making this polar-non-polar interaction a primordial necessity for life.
Arvid Tomayko-Peters: Audio/Video Manipulation, Programming
Steve Schwartz: Oil/Water Manipulation, Apparatus Construction
Performed October 1, 2010 at the Pixilerations Festival
Grant Recital Hall, Brown University, Providence, RI
Thanks to Bevin Kelley, James Moses and Brown Knoth (I think?) for shooting the film and producing the concert.
