Škica - Audiovisual perfomance by Maja Burja and Staš Vrenko (excerpts) from Staš Vrenko on Vimeo.

This performance was performed for the first time at Mlade Rime in Menza pri Koritu (Metelkova mesto - Ljubljana, Slovenia).

Škica is an audiovisual performance, based on the idea of a live improvisation, caused by the on-stage interference of actions made by the VJ and the musician.
The VJ uses a slide projector to project 35 mm hand-made images to the canvas and then additionally manipulates their look by utilizing various gadgets (glass objects, mirrors, color filters, metal knife, etc.). The musician uses a small modular synthesizer (modified Korg Monotron). The synth itself is modified in the way, that the potentiometers, used for controlling the synthesizer parameters, are accompanied by light dependent resistors (LDR), which are mounted on the canvas. That way the projection, which is in the hands of the VJ, controls most of the sound characteristics, while the musician tries to adapt to the shift changes using the potentiometers, effects and signal routings.
