上个月，Matthew和我开发了一个名为Bitboxland的互动视听表演移动程序。我们想要小试牛刀，用它来表演一下；同时我们也想让观众亲眼见证这个视听创作的过程。所以我们想到了个方法…

Last month, Matthew and I created a mobile audiovisual performance app called Bitboxland. We wanted to take it on a test ride, letting the audience witness the creation of live music and visuals with the app. So we came up with an idea to display what we were playing live with our phones on a head-mounted display.

经过好几轮的测试、打样、编曲和练习，我们终于建立了一个“简单”的操作系统。只需要一部手机，一台摄像机，一台笔记本电脑、一块液晶显示屏以及一套木制框架将以上物品与身体绑定。这使我们看起来好像DIY机器人一样笨拙，但是显然奏效了。

After rounds and rounds of testing, prototyping, composing and practicing we built a “simple” system. It consists of a phone, a DV cam, a laptop, an LCD-display and a wooden structure for attaching everything to our bodies.
We end up looking like socially awkward DIY robots, but it works!

在公司的新年餐会上我们首次登台表演，给观众展示了一场互动式音乐体验，是个狂热的经历。我们收到了掌声一片、奖金一些、粉丝一把，还有从隔壁餐会跑来拍照凑热闹的小朋友两个。

表演的视频将于本周内呈现，敬请期待。

We had our debut performance at this year’s Chinese New Year dinner. It was a wild experience conducting our interactive musical experiment in front of an audience. We received some applause, some prize money, and even a few fans…..two little kids from another party came over to take photos!

Stay tuned for videos of the performance.
