communication lead to new and
interesting ways to connect with
people. Composer and scientist Mikael
Fernström has designed unique ways
to apply this to music.
TXT U LTR is a composition for
orchestra based on data sources from
mobile text (sms) messages and
e-mail, combined with everyday
sounds from the modern working
environment.
The multimedia piece was generated in
part by computer algorithms based on
textual input from members of the
public to RTE's Lyric FM station.
In addition to the orchestral ensemble,
members of Daghda dance, vocalists
and video producers combined to
generate the work.
Mikael's past work includes the
astounding Cóisir an tSionann (The
Shannon Suite) piece which was
performed at the great Turbine Hall at
Ardnacrusha.
