Aeroidio

Interactive multimedia duo with Sam Wells

About

Aeroidio is a new collaborative duo of Adam Vidiksis and Sam Wells that delves into an eclectic mix of creative avenues, including music, software, immersive installations, compelling audio-visual works and the art of improvisation. Rooted in its fusion of music and technology, Aeroidio’s sonic identity is characterized by rhythmic complexity, textural richness, and a seamless blend of acoustic and electronic elements. Their work has explored the barriers and connections of human experience through a juxtaposition of perspectives on the scope of social and physical relationships, from the scale of a tiny flower or a loving embrace, to a mountain range or the journey that brings you home. Vidiksis and Wells are assistant professors of music technology at Temple University.

Working in collaboration with the Little Artists League in Tokyo, Japan, a global-minded art organization devoted to fostering children’s creativity through process-oriented art, Aeroidio, a collaborative duo of Adam Vidiksis and Sam Wells, has developed a web application that transforms camera and gestural data from a mobile device, turning it into an interactive musical instrument that nearly anyone can play. BEEP, the Boyer College’s electronic music ensemble, will lead a community performance composed by Aeroidio that uses the software to transform hand drawings made in the moment. Only a smartphone is needed. All participants are encouraged and welcome to join the performance.
