"Drawing Noise," an innovative multimedia piece, made its world premiere at the International Festival for Innovations in Music Production and Composition (IFIMPaC) at Leeds College of Music in Leeds, England, United Kingdom. IFIMPaC attracts innovative musical compositions and performances from composers throughout Europe and North America. Its paper presentations and performances explore the latest innovations in production techniques, electronic music composition, image sonification, multichannel soundscape compositions, impulse responses in an audio-visual live performance, electronic and digital instrument-building practices and expressive diffusion.
Dr. Ivan Elezovic, assistant professor in the Department of Music, represented the collaborative team that created "Drawing Noise" at IFIMPaC 2015. Elezovic served as the composer and sound engineer for the project. Visual artist and assistant professor in the Department of Art, Prof. Chung-Fan Chang served as its art director and principal performer. Prof. Mark Geil, photographer and assistant professor in the Department of Art, served as the director of photography. The ideas inspiring "Drawing Noise" developed from the talks given by Dr. Elezovic and Prof. Chang in the 2012-2013 year of the Brown Bag Research Talks Series. Subsequently, they presented the completed work during this academic year's Brown Bag Research Talks Series.
