Abstract
One of the principal complications in the performance of electro-acoustic music is the need for complex and large sound systems. Working with minimal hardware, P0LARITIES: YOUR REFLECTION IN MYSELF utilizes mobile phone technology and serves as a robust platform for electro-acoustic performance through lightweight and universal hardware installation. The final work resulted in an electroacoustic composition for two percussionists and augmented drums with iOS and LibPD. Hybridizing and augmenting traditional musical instruments provides a compelling path forward but is restricted to either custom instruments or massive computational infrastructure. P0LARITIES: YOUR REFLECTION IN MYSELF acts as a proof of concept for future explorations in the distribution of electro-acoustic music and media artworks by augmenting with mobile phone hardware.
