ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present the WanderOnStage project and its improvisational performance entitled Untitled #1, created with a focus to engage with the audience within the context of live percussion performance with electronics. This project is carried out with author's experiences of being a percussionist and media artist. The technical solution of WanderOnStage enables the performer to control real-time recording with arm and bodily movements. The wireless device also provides a theatrical potential by allowing the performer to move around freely in the performance space, join the audience as a listener, or motivate audience members to participate performing. This paper traces the design process over matter of concept development, relevant technology, interface design, and the configuration of the concert performance. In addition, the author's experience gained from the concert performance, which involved audience participation is also discussed as well as what has been learnt.
