N2 - This paper describes the development of an electro-acoustic composition, titled v→t→d, which positions the act of translation as the focal point of the creative process. The work is a collaboration between a saxophonist, a composer, and two multimedia artists. We begin with a saxophone improvisation which is translated into a composition featuring solo saxophone and fixed electronics work. The performance of this sound composition is translated again with live image processing, where the audio and visual content serve as control signals. We locate translation as an effective tool for composition and describe work that has inspired this approach to our creation processes.
