1: This proposal was first printed in MEDIASPACE2, Intelligent Tutoring Media Journal Vol 6 Numbers3/4, January. ‘ The Humming of Strings’. Mike Phillips, Steve Roberts. Several technical experiments have been carried out using this system, but as yet it has not been performed before a live audience.
The “Humming of Strings” uses the distance (23000 mile) between the satellite UpLink (ESA TDS 4 based @ Plymouth University) and the Satellite, and back again, (INTELSAT or EUTELSAT) to generate a quarter of a second delay in the transmission and reception of the video signal. In effect this creates a 46,000 mile echo chamber. This is the basic principal of the performances. The processed signals can be received live using domestic satellite reception equipment in a footprint that spans western Europe and over 1000 established institutional reception sites. The performance lasts for 46 minutes, and can be repeated as often as transponder time (cost) allows. The number of performances defines the number of time measures used in the composition.
