Centripetal & Centrifugal

The Centripetal & Centrifugal, the sound art game is a “game” based on the method for the analysis of performance practices of electronic music that was developed by Ciciliani, originally presented in the paper “Towards an Aesthetic of Electronic Music Performance Practice”. The name of the piece derives from the two groups in which a performance can be, centripetal: meaning that the performer is at the center of attention, and centrifugal: when the performer’s functions are more in a controlling position rather than enacting entity.
