MNEMIC Guitarist To Develop New Interactive Performance System

April 22, 2009

Guitarist Mircea Gabriel Eftemie of Danish modern metallers MNEMIC has announced plans to build a new Interactive Performance System as part of his studies at the University of Aalborg, Denmark.

Commented the guitarist: "The project seeks to implement the artists' visions by constructing a live performance application in order to enrich and expand the entertainment platform, but also to seek how to further establish an e?ective communication between performer and audience. As part of my medialogy studies, I am simply trying to cross media platforms and create something new and innovative. I have a great opportunity to combine my academic skills and knowledge of the entertainment industry by implementing a platform and testing it with my own metal band, MNEMIC. Put in more simple terms, the band will perform with a dynamic canvas, displaying visuals manipulated by the band's own audio signals. The style of the band will be re?ected in the choice of e?ects and images that will be displayed. The very first beta test will give usability results that have to be further analyzed. MNEMIC's future performances will become much more dynamic, and the goal is to enrich the experience beyond the regular platforms of modern stage performances.”

Testing will be conducted with help from visual artist and old friend Lasse Hoile, who has been creating visuals and videos for such class acts as OPETH, PORCUPINE TREE, and many other touring bands. MNEMIC will enable imagery provided specifically by Lasse Holie for the performance.

The first beta test of Eftemie's Interactive Performance System will take place during MNEMIC's live performance on May 9 at the Studenterhuset, in the city of Aalborg, as part of Denmark's Way Up North festival.
