Papa’s Orgel demo (part 1)

February 21, 2008

Papa’s Orgel is an interactive audiovisual installation featuring Papa Dee. It was made during the course Digital Storytelling at Malmö University. Our assignment was to remix the SVT music documentary series Papa’s Kappsäck and then display the results at the official release party for the series in late January 2008.

Papa’s Kappsäck features Papa Dee jamming with artists all over the world. We extracted short clips from these sessions and assigned the clips to keys on a MIDI keyboard. When played, the clips are looped and synced to a master tempo, creating an interactive, playful and often chaotic Papa Dee experience.

The demo videos above show recordings of real-time, live performances featuring Papa’s Orgel.

We used Ableton Live 6 (for MIDI and audio) combined with Arkaos VJ (for video) but would love to make an online version. Maybe you can help us program a flash version?
