Jilted is a virtual rock band, composed of projected video on screens behind a live performer. It was created out of frustration, after being left in the lurch by flaky musicians, who failed to show up for rehearsals or gigs. This iteration of Jilted features a keyboardist (Sheree) and guitarist (Vanessa), who accompany the performer (me) in performing 5 original songs. The characters are projected on 3D objects and controlled in real time with foot pedals. The thesis iteration of Jilted features real time audio and video clip triggers, audience participation with a webcam, real-time color and speed manipulation with a ribbon controller, attached to a guitar. The band performs 5 songs with skits in between.
