N2 - Pathfinder is a performance-game for solo drummer, exploring the synergies between multiple contemporary creative
practices. The work navigates between music composition, improvisation, projection/light art and game art. At its heart
lies a bespoke electro-acoustic instrument, the augmented drum-kit, used not only to provide the sonic content of the
work in real-time, but also as a highly expressive game controller that interacts with an instrument-specific game. The
musical instrument offers a much wider range of expressive possibilities, control and tactile feedback in comparison to a
traditional general-purpose game controller, and as a result it affords a more diverse and nuanced game play
performance. Live electronics, lights, projections and the drum-kit all make up the performance-game’s universe, within
which the performer has to explore, adapt, navigate and complete a journey.
