Virtual Strangers
A year on from the award-winning interactive experiment Facing the Radio, comes a fairy-tale collaboration between producer Antony Pitts , programmer Jonathan Finn and writer Richard Gaskell , with real- and non-real-time musical improvisation.
Once upon a time, a young would-be pop star finds an internet site on the 14th-century composer Guillaume de Machaut. Inspired by the true story of his love for a young admirer called
Peronne, she begins a fantasy electronic correspondence. A remote switching computer responds to the digitally wrapped emotions with a stream of musical information. Meanwhile, the sounds of her own environment are transferred across cyberspace to collide with a spate of unexpected monologues and vignettes from
Machaut's programmer. The result is a true picture of love at the cutting edge. WEB SITE: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3.machaut/
