sarcastic momentum
One of the ideas we had in mind when coming to SARC was to perform open sessions by creating an  open set up within the Sonic Lab where people could freely join in either with instruments or note book. We are very pleased to present the result of it.

This consists of the sarcastic system (algorithmic sound diffusion system by Andreas Weixler), saxophone, piano, bass recorder, voice, multichannel granular synthesis, SuperCollider, Max msp and other devices.
