Abstract

This short document begins by providing details of the performance Balconi which took place at the Harris Museum, Preston during the 2021 lockdown. Musicians were distributed across the four floors of the museum’s central atrium whilst three ‘avatars’ moved amongst them live streaming video and binaural audio. No audience was permitted in the performance space; instead they were given a weblink which would provide access to three Youtube pages, one for each avatar. The audience could stick with one avatar or switch between the three as and when they chose to.
The document then goes on to explain the technical and practical decisions that led to the choice of equipment used, and ends with the notes that were provided to the avatars to guide their movements through the space during the performance.
