Reverse-Simulation Music

MATARISAMA

Performance of Matari-sama.

- 8 players are to sit in a circle, each player facing the back of the player in front.
- Each player holds a bell in his or her right hand and castanets in the left.
- According to the rules of "suzukake", players are to ring either bell or castanets by hitting the next player's shoulder after they have been hit themselves.

Rules of "suzukake":
- Ring the bell by tapping on the next player's right shoulder.
- Ring the castanets by tapping on the next player's left shoulder.

Depending on which instrument he or she has played, the player is said to be in "bell mode" or "castanet mode". This mode determines which instrument the player will use for the next turn according to these rules:
Performance of Matarisama.

When the player is in "bell mode": play the same instrument.
- A player who is in "bell mode" and is hit by a bell will ring a bell and stay in "bell mode".
- A player who is in "bell mode" and is hit by castanet will ring a castanet and change to "castanet mode".

When the player is in "castanet mode": play different instrument.
- A player who is in "castanet mode" and is hit by a bell will ring a castanet and stay in "castanet mode".
- A player who is in "castanet mode" and is hit by a castanet will ring a bell and change to "bell mode"

Rerverse-Simulation Music

Definition:
Reverse-simulation music is a general term for specific phenomena,
that can include acoustic events, born of intentional human actions. An
important characteristic of reverse-simulation music is that human
actions are carried out according to sequences resulting from iterative
calculations.
[...]
This experiment seeks to reverse the usual conception of computer
simulations. Rather than modelling within a computer space the various
phenomena of the world based on the laws of physics, phenomena that have
been verified within a computer space are modelled in the real world,
hence the name, reverse-simulation. This designation also alludes to
the modelling of "music that could have been," in other words the
recreation in the real world of events that likely did not actually take
place.

continued error

voortgezette fout (by Jochem van der Spek)
continued500.gif
linksbovenin is begonnen met één driehoek

ieder daaropvolgende driehoek is
zó getekend dat het zo goed mogelijk
aansluit bij zijn linker- en bovenbuur.

de fout die hiebij gemaakt wordt zet zich
door tot rechtsonderaan de tekening.
