Above is a peice that is performed by Cécile Babiole in 3D. As music is played she draws what she hears. The gestures of her hand modulates the sound she hears and is this is then displayed on the screen. Inspired by the 'Etch-a-Sketches' of her childhood, she uses MIDI controller knobs to scribble strokes onto the screen. It is to mimic the way a dreamy child might match up both sound and image.

This peice although not as interactive to the audience as her other peices is still interesting, just for its shear aesthetics. As the sounds play the graphics on screen seem to move like a ballet dancer moving across the stage. It is both elegent and beautiful, by using what Edward Burke calls "Gradual Variation."
