Two applications used in the performance at Creativity and Cognitions 2015 (Glasgow).  

Title of work:  "Constellation theory of knowledge".  

This performance is structured around a philosophical idea:  The constellation theory of knowledge.  Basing itself on a version of Western music's spatial metaphors (in relation to "Wholeness" and "fragment") a series of M4L applications were designed to re-structure and deconstruct a series of chords.  Musical "shapes" are formed through a fragmenting process followed by a re-shaping process.  The pictured applications are used to fragment incoming midi chords and re-assemble them as "shapes".  The shapes are arranged around a series of metronomic beats.  The instrumentalist must re-align his/her playing to these new forms.  A separate view of the internal Max /MSP patch in the "stepper" app is pictured in figure 3 below (detail).
