Donna Hewitt has been creating works for voice and technology for the past 15 years, starting out with fixed media works for processed voice and developing her practice into cross media and real time performance contexts. In this seminar, she will present an overview of her eMic projects. The eMic (Extended Mic stand Interface Controller) is a sensor based gestural controller for vocal performance and live electronics that has attracted significant attention internationally. It provides the vocal performer with a responsive interface in which they can control digital audio processing parameters in performance. Donna will talk about her compositional approaches for new performance interfaces and the challenges in creating work for the electronically extended voice.
Donna Hewitt is a vocalist, electronic music composer and instrument designer. She has attracted significant international attention for her performance and design work with new vocal interfaces. Her primary interest in recent years has been investigating new ways of interfacing the voice with electronic media. She is the inventor of the eMic, a sensor enhanced microphone stand for electronic music performance. The eMic brings together her work as a vocal performer with her compositional work using microphone-captured audio. Much of Donna’s composition work involves re-processing audio via various digital processes to produce complex textures. Donna’s work has attracted funding from the Australian council for the Arts, most recently her collaboration in 2010 with dance artist Avril Huddy to develop the work ‘Idol’ for eMic and dancers. In 2010 Donna was also awarded funding to undertake residency with Julian Knowles at STEIM (Amsterdam) – an internationally renowned center for research and development of instruments & tools for performers in the electronic performance arts. Donna has performed in nationally and internationally. Performance highlights include Brisbane Festival’s Under the Radar Program ‘Macrophonics’, SEAM2011 (Sydney), Understanding Visual Music 2011 (Canada), ICMC (USA, Ireland, UK), Liquid Architecture (LA7) and The Great Escape Festival, Sydney (2006, 2007), disorientation, sound-no-sound, and 1/4 Inch experimental series. She is a Lecturer in Music and Sound at QUT in Brisbane.
