BARBS: Birgit ulher, AndRew drury, Bill hSu

BARBS is a series of audiovisual conjectures, retorts, and ripostes with improvised music and animation. Each piece creates an interactive environment of veiled implication and sonic innuendo that responds to gesture and audio input in real time. Animations are projected on stage with the performers, responding to their sounds and constituting a key element in a three way barb-fest during the performance. The musicians do not directly control the details of the animations; they improvise with each other, and with the animations.
