After illustrating what the technology can do through her sketch, Red Moon, this March composer Judith Shatin will be bringing her experimental Xbox powered Black Moon project to American Composers Orchestra's (ACO) coLABoratory workshop -- the world's first and only Research and Development lab for experimental new music. In preparation for her world premiere of Black Moon by the ACO at Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hal this fall, the workshop, open free to the public March 5, will show how Shatin developed the video-gaming system's motion-sensing input device, the Kinect, into a musical instrument capable of reacting in real-time.
