The Sancho Plan was a British audiovisual arts collective founded by Ed Cookson in London in 2002.[1] The group combined music and sound design, graphic and character design, animation, game design and coding, hardware, software, performance and theatrical staging to create audiovisual art environments and live musical performances.[2][3] Their work was presented by digital-art organisations that included Ars Electronica[3][4] and SIGGRAPH,[5] and was covered by publications including The Guardian,[6] The Sunday Times,[7] and Wired.[2] They were also headliners on Martyn Ware's Future of Sound tour.[8]
Selected works
[edit]Drum Machine
[edit]Drum Machine was a musical online animation and live performance developed in collaboration with the designers Tokyoplastic.[9][3] In her book Digital Art: Its Art and Science, Yue-Ling Wong cites Drum Machine as an example of synchronised music and digital animation within an audiovisual performance.[9] The animation won the People's Choice Award at the Sundance Online Film Festival 2004 and was included on Onedotzero's Select DVD of digital art and animation.[9][10]
Spacequatica
[edit]Spacequatica, a 12-minute live performance and interactive art installation, used electronic drum pads to control animated sea creatures on a descent through an animated ocean.[9][11] Wong cited Spacequatica as an example of digital audiovisual performance in Digital Art: Its Art and Science, calling it a 12-minute work that combined sound, music, technology and animated sea creatures reacting to performers' drum pads.[9] It was presented at Ars Electronica 2007 and was selected for the Art & Design Galleries at SIGGRAPH 2008.[11][5] The official ACM SIGGRAPH catalogue described it as an immersive work integrating live performance, animation, sound, music, interaction design and gaming.[5] Computer Graphics World likewise described Spacequatica’s SIGGRAPH presentation as an interactive descent into a musical ocean.[12]
The Black Page
[edit]In The Black Page, The Sancho Plan's onstage band controlled a cast of interactive animated characters through a narrative musical adventure within a surreal desert landscape.[2][6] It premiered at the Tyneside Cinema, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK on 24 September 2009.[2][6][7] Michael Conroy of Wired described the work as The Sancho Plan's most ambitious project to that point,[2] whilst The Guardian previewed the performance as an interactive animated film in which musicians controlled on-screen characters around a desert landscape.[6] The Sunday Times also selected the event in its Culture listings, describing it as a multisensory combination of music, animation, and technological interaction.[7]
