Yati Durant and Jules Rawlinson will perform "Pixidust 2", an improvised composition for modular electronic synthesisers and visual feed back/forward systems, at the Seeing Sound Symposium, Bath-Spa University, UK on 24.03.18. The composition utilises an extension of the Saundaryalahari concept together with Pixivisor system that translates visuals (in this case the geometric construct of the Sricakra) into sound and back again - with the improvisors manipulating the signal path in the process.
