Idea based on Jake’s experiments
Audio recorded from the installation with 2 people in the room
This shows how audience position in the space alters which version of the lyrics are displayed.
The 3 versions are:
- The Official Peace version
- The Standard version (with anti-Jacobite verse)
- William Hickson’s text of God Save The Queen
When you are in the middle of the room you see the Official Peace Version, and when you move away, the lyrics change
(The lyrics are cut off because we’re testing it on smaller monitor - the real ones have a much bigger resolution)
A sting for the show
Some further tests; overlaying the vocal and the humming - this could be what you hear in the Sweet Spot. Maybe the vocals are a bit loud?
Paul and myself are working on the best combinations of vocal tracks for the centre of The Sweet Spot.
Here’s a rough test of the Olympic Ring “target” blurring/sharpening
Test: linking the infrared cameras to Ableton
This is the 1st test of The Sweet Spot - using two infrared cameras to plot a persons position and using that data to control the music - forgive the shaky camera and terrible sound (it was recorded on my phone).
It only bleedin’ well works!

The position of the people in the room alters which version of the lyrics to The National Anthem are displayed.
They switch between the Offical Peace Version, William Hickson’s text of God Save the Queen and the Standard Version (with anti-jacobite verse)
