5. SATSYMPH by Marc Yeats, Ralph Hoyte & Phill Phelps
This is a collaboration between south-west-based composer and artist Marc Yeats, poet Ralph Hoyte and coder Phill Phelps which will allow people to create their own “satellite symphony” through an iPhone app. A multi-facetted contemporary music and contemporary poetry sound-world will be triggered by satellites depending on the direction in which the user moves. The judging panel said “it harnessed current technology in a creative way”.
Marc Yeats, Ralph Hoyte and Phill Phelps said: "What is music? What is poetry? It's hard to believe that we are now so close to realising SATSYMPH. We feel as if we are riding the crest of a technological wave that will create a totally new paradigm of what music and word-music fusions are, how they are created and how they are experienced. SATSYMPH offers that rare opportunity to move one's work into a new arena - to the next level of innovation. We can't wait to get cracking.”
