[Texte disponible uniquement en anglais] LIGHTUNE.G (light+melody+tone G/50Hz) is the name of the collaborative duo consisting of Bojan Gagic and Miodrag Gladovic, which they are using to put on their first collaborative project, Lighterature Reading. The project is based on the conversion of light from luminous objects into tone images via the photovoltaic effect generated through solar panels (under the influence of light, solar panels - silicon cells - produce electricity the strength of which depends upon the intensity of the light). Hence the name that defines the performance and the composition technique - luminoacoustics. Different sources of light (neon, halogen, LED, cigarette lighters, video projectors, etc.) generate different sound frequencies which, through further processing, can be transformed into a modular musical sketch. The base frequency is 50Hz (the tone G) and is a product of halogen lighting conversion.
Lighterature Reading is the first public performance of a luminoacoustic composition.
Drone structures are made with slow spotlight intensity changes. Rhythmical structures are rendered with swiftly changes of laser beams and led flashlights. Noise structures are generated with videoprojections and UV lights. Glitch structures are produced with photostrobes and cigarette lighters.
Control of all mentioned structures is the core of luminoacustic composition.
