We are proud to welcome: Keynote: Jo-Anne Green from Turbulence (http://turbulence.org/) and Networked Performance (http://turbulence.org/blog/) Marc Garrett from Furtherfield (http://www.furtherfield.org/) Lead performer: Annie Abrahams (http://www.bram.org/) Our open call for papers and performances continues until 4pm (GMT), Friday 31/08/12. Please find the call included below. ------------------------------------ Remote Encounters: Connecting bodies, collapsing spaces and temporal ubiquity in networked performance keywords: performance, networked, body, space, place, time, real, virtual URL: http://remote-encounters.tumblr.com/ :: Description :: Since the internet entered the public domain in the early 90's there has been an explosion in artistic interest in its use as a means, site and context for creative practice. Much of this practice is performative in nature; ether originating from a performance background and using the internet as a new site and/or augmenting aspect of that practice or is a form of practice developed as direct response to the internet and becomes performative to some degree in its spectatorship. It has been well established that the internet is not the first or only example of the use of a networked technology repurposed for creative practice. There is a clear time line that can be traced back through the practice of Roy Ascott and his coining of the term Telematic Art in the 1980's to artist's use of satellite networks, telephone and other telecommunication devices as each were invented. Seen in this respect the internet can be considered as one of many networked technologies that has enabled networked performance. The internet is unique however in that it is not a singular network type that favours a particular form of media, broadcast or spectatorship. Most famously known as the network of networks it enables multiple protocols of which the world wide web's http is just one, is multimedia in nature and encourages intertextual folding and layering of media, is multi-directional not simply a broadcast communication form, de-centralised in ownership and the majority of its technologies are openly accessible. Remote Encounters, a two-day international conference with performance evening, aims to explore the use of networks as a means to enhance or create a wide variety of performance arts. How do networks as a site for performance provide opportunities for us as artists and performers? In particular how can we remotely collaborate, merge geographically separate places and times, reconfigure the space of performance and the relationship between artist and audience? :: Call for papers and performances :: Contributions are invited from practitioners and academics for papers and performances that contextualise current networked performance themes and issues both historically and across the spectrum of different types of networks, explore the wealth of performance opportunities offered by the internet and give a sample of future directions for networked performance. Topics may include, but will not be limited to, the following: Bodies and identity: - Virtual identities and real bodies; - Self projection as other; - Hardware, software and wetware - networked bodies; - The female body and the remote gaze; - Gender and role play; - Robots and cyborgs. New sites, new narratives, new genre: - Networks as new sites of opportunism; - Networked spaces as new territories; - Transmedia storytelling, new narratives; - Mixed reality narratives; - Personal and private spaces as public venue; - First, second and third person narratives; - Intertextuality; The relationship between artist and audience: - Primary and secondary audiences, local and global; - Audience as performer; - Interactive performances and breaking down the fourth wall; - The transformation of audience to user; - Strategies and levels of engagement; - The network as a means for converging and collaborative practice. Tools and technologies: - Democratisation of form and presentation; - Subverting networked communication media; - Alternative and community based networks; - Tubes and streams, from public access television to webcasting; - Virtual worlds and video gaming; - Social networking as performance; - Pervasive and locative performance; - Physical interfaces and feedback; - Telephony and SMS messaging. We are particularly interested in live performance proposals, existing or new, that employ OpenSim and as such could take advantage of a large space provided by the organisers. For further details and an informal chat contact Garrett Lynch (glynch[at]glam[dot]ac[dot]uk) or Inga Burrows (iburrows[at]glam[dot]ac[dot]uk) :: Submissions :: Deadline: 4pm (GMT), Friday 31/08/12 Proposals are now being accepted for paper presentations and live performances delivered both at the venue and remotely.

Approaches in change Message-ID: *New podcast: COMPOSING WITH PROCESS: PERSPECTIVES ON GENERATIVE AND SYSTEMS MUSIC #7.1. Approaches in change * Curated by Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore. Narrated by Connie Treanor. This episode considers the notion of change in music. It asks how we perceive and quantify change in musical structures, and how generative processes disrupt and enlarge our sense of surprise, expectation, tension and boredom. Link: http://bit.ly/NJqpJ7 MP3: http://bit.ly/PGCCPf Related info/playlist: http://bit.ly/Tj6BBb The seventh episode of COMPOSING WITH PROCESS: PERSPECTIVES ON GENERATIVE AND SYSTEMS MUSIC looks at how several notable composers working with generative systems conceive of, control and implement change in their works. Change plays a central role in music. Music develops into different phases, has a temporal structure of one sort or another, even a sustained waveform changes in some respect throughout its duration. Based upon interviews and drawing from previously unpublished materials the show examines notions of repetition, anticipation and predictability, the interplay of change at distinct altitudes within the work, and the role of automation and human agency to invoke change.

In a couple of weeks time, with the mighty DIKTAT we will cross the Atlantic and embark there on a short American tour. It will take us to perform (at least) in Allentown, Washington DC (where we will appear at the awesome Sonic Circuits Festival) and (twice) New York. As you will be well aware, that's a pretty costly enterprise for a no-budget fringe-fringe outfit like ours. To help us cover the costs of our stay, including (but not limited to) car-rental, gasoline, toll, parking tickets, vegan salads, hamburgers and beer, we decided to try our hands at some DIY crowdfunding.

Buy from Cr?nica (12 ?): http://cronicaelectronica.org/?p=069 All photos and audio recordings in this work are taken inside the ruins of former hotels. If one enters such a place, first of all the impression of demolition is overwhelming, while at the same time one finds a fascinating world between decay and renewal. The history of these ruins, with their former purpose of usage as well as the changes caused by time, give the place its own organic life cycle, with plants and animals living inside the ruins and debris. Locals from the surrounding area are looking for usable raw and building materials. And the beaches are slowly filled up again with tourists from all over the world. Reminiscences of the heyday 1960s up to the 1980s arise when extensive hotel resorts were ?le dernier cri? for millions of tourists to make their individual holiday dreams come true. Non-lieus, monofunctionally used areas resembling each other by interchangeability and absence of history. Massive holiday resorts as Heterotopoi as intended by Foucault. However, a ?non-lieu? for one person may be a place for another who identifies with and establishes a special relationship to it. In each of these buildings lots of people lived for only a few days or weeks ? sometimes even years ? just for the length of their stay. Many short episodes and stories started and ended here, and ?Lieu? and ?non-lieu? become shunning poles: a ?lieu? never disappears completely, just as no absolute ?non-lieu? exists. What remains are the complicated dynamics of identity and relation, of space and time. Inspired by these impressions, both artists built their own virtual hotel composed from the rooms of several ruins. The viewer / auditor is taken through this fictive hotel as a tourist, becoming part of a vacant imaginative place that tells its very own story by means of visual and audible images. The sound of gigantic concrete structures, of the nearby sea, the presence of several, quite small appearing individuals develops an independent existence and give an idea of the former activity. The photographs depict the places where the sound-recordings took place. They are linked chronologically to the composition and by showing the same localities serially they also point out to the functionality of these resorts as places for mass tourism. In the musical sense the single photo series correspond to the stanzas or sentences of the single subjects. Although parts of the original sound material were processed by FFT or granular synthesis, there is no sound in the whole work that isn?t strictly connected to the locality of the respective picture. In both cases of sound alienation the state of the original recording ? the image of a space at a certain time ? serves further compositional procedure: by means of FFT certain frequencies were identified and either deleted or boosted; through the application of granular synthesis, the recorded sound is stripped down into several small sonic particles. As places can change their appearance and their atmosphere by certain, sometimes more or less overlapping events, the character of sound can be deconstructed into different time scales, can be analysed and worked on. The stronger it is joined in from the outside, the more the result emancipates itself from his origin. -- EphraimWegner Lungengasse 31 50676 Koeln Tel. 0221 30254498 www.cronicaelectronica.org www.last.fm/music/Ephraim+Wegner www.anti-matter-plant.org From rwm2008 at gmail.com Mon Aug 13 06:49:58 2012 From: rwm2008 at gmail.com (Radio Web MACBA) Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2012 12:49:58 +0200 Subject: [microsound-announce] =?iso-8859-1?q?Podcast=3A_Deutsche_Kassette?= =?iso-8859-1?q?nt=E4ter=2E_The_rise_of_the_German_home-recording_t?= =?iso-8859-1?q?ape_scene=2C_part_=231_and_=232?= Message-ID: *Podcast: Deutsche Kassettent?ter. The rise of the German home-recording tape scene, parts #1 and #2. Curated by Felix Kubin* In the late 1970s, the German music scene was shaken up by a virtual explosion of new bands that sounded radically different to anything that had come before. They played music that was experimental, playful, absurd, minimalist and astute, with lyrics that were sung ? or more commonly screamed ? exclusively in German. Appalled rather than enthralled by this new expressionism, the record industry initially showed no interest in these groups, so new platforms had to be set up in order to spread the virus. Small companies like ZickZack and Ata Tak started to release records by these young artists who were springing up like mushrooms. The independent record label was born. The spirit of this new movement ? later branded Neue Deutsche Welle ? emerged from a collision between the self-confident attitude of punk, the legacy of Germany's electronic avant-garde and a belief in the imminence of an atomic apocalypse. In his book "Als die Welt noch unterging" (When the world was still going to end), Frank Apunkt Schneider describes this despair as a joyful dance on the edge of the volcano, which is what underlies the unusual music that you will hear in these programmes. *Part #1: Mix* Link: http://bit.ly/n3aN7s MP3: http://bit.ly/gpqhyK Related info/playlist: http://bit.ly/R8aoEm Translated lyrics: http://bit.ly/MVOSev *Part #2: Interviews with Alfred Hilsberg (ZickZack Records) and Frank Apunkt Schneider* Link: http://bit.ly/oRtfAZ MP3: http://bit.ly/rkVaAy Related info/playlist: http://bit.ly/pQUAET Follow us at http://twitter.com/Radio_Web_MACBA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In addition to bug fixes, some limited optimization, and a little flurry of bug fixes, this version includes several feature enhancements, including: ? - Midi map defaults for the Renderer display panels ? - Midi map template capabilities ? - Lots of parametric control of evolved patches ? - Ability to map parameters (and Midi CCs) to route scalars ? - A "Quick Start" guide for building your own patches with Marella I used the evolved patches shipped with this release at yesterday's microHausen performance, in which I took the audience with me on an impressionistic journey to mars where Edgar Rice Burroughs figured more prominently than reality.? I have to say that along with giving some nice crisp glitch, the evolved patch approach sometimes unintentionally simulates classic analog quite well!? Once I have a chance, I'll post some excepts of these and other sounds on the Darwin Arts web site, along with the patches that created them. -Wayne swjackson at darwinarts.com PS:?

Details below, thanks: "Erewhon Calling: Experimental Sound in New Zealand" Edited by Bruce Russell in association with Richard Francis and the Audio Foundation See details at: http://cmr.net.nz/cmr28.html Erewhon Calling: Experimental Sound in New Zealand is a lavishly-illustrated new publication from the Audio Foundation and CMR. It is a survey of how a bunch of antipodean misfits and malcontents have forged new ways and new reasons to make noise, here at the end of the earth. Edited by Bruce Russell (the Dead C.), in association with Richard Francis and Zoe Drayton; the aim of this volume is to survey the full range of 'non-standard' audio practices in contemporary NZ culture. The book's remit runs from the borders of composed art music, through improvised noise, to deconstructed 'rock'n pop filth'; and every genre, every scene, every permutation of unconventional audio practice in-between. The aim is not to be comprehensive (there is literally too much vitality and diversity for any book!). The hope is to 'throw a good handful of gravel into the pool'. While not every eel will have been hit, the surface will have been rippled from shore to shore, which is more than anyone else has even attempted before. Erewhon Calling makes room for many voices, allowing multiple and possibly conflicting voices and points of view. A range of artists and informed commentators mainly tell their own stories, describe their own work, and outline their own goals in working on the fringes of audio culture. The readers of this important new source book will be able to discern their own meanings and make their own connections from this thought-provoking and unique publication.

It is essentially a very basic and extremely unstable analog video transmitter capable of transmitting any signal to a TV up to ranges of about 20 meters. Though it use for practical transmission purposes is limited, its true potential lies in the instabilities and idiosyncrasies of each one built. The resulting transmitted video becomes malleable and is able to be distorted and warped by tuning and bending the transmitter allowing for a wide range of abstract video processing and generation. The build itself is very simple and can be accomplished by anyone on any skill level. The supplied kits come with all the components needed and everyone will walk away with their own transmitter. ~~~~~Workshop leader: Kyle Evans (MFA, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago) http://yaktronix.com/ ~~~~~~Booking / Cost / Dates / Location Workshop cost is ?25 which includes all materials which participants keep To book a place please email ryan at nnnnn.org.uk Limited to 15 participants 12 midday - 5pm, Monday 17th September, 2012 Unit 73a, Regent Studios, 8 Andrew's Road, London, E8 4QN -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Link: http://bit.ly/Sb8kL3 MP3: http://bit.ly/NWbbCw Playlist: http://bit.ly/OiH35c Transcript: http://bit.ly/M6RM5J In the late nineteenth century two facts conspired to change the face of music: the collapse of common practice tonality (which overturned the certainties underpinning the world of Art music), and the invention of a revolutionary new form of memory, sound recording (which redefined and greatly empowered the world of popular music). A tidal wave of probes and experiments into new musical resources and new organisational practices ploughed through both disciplines, bringing parts of each onto shared terrain before rolling on to underpin a new aesthetics able to follow sound and its manipulations beyond the narrow confines of ?music?. This series tries analytically to trace and explain these developments, and to show how, and why, both musical and post-musical genres take the forms they do. This first programme sets the scene and investigates early reconsiderations of pitch: probes that postulate new scales to be constructed through the ever-greater subdivision of the inherited intervals of equal temperament.

This composition in three movements without intentional sounds is the composer?s best-known work today. As an ?art without work? (John Cage), it takes up and renews the impulses of the avant-gardes of the early twentieth century, notably Marcel Duchamp?s readymades, which the artist himself termed ?works without art.? SILENCE AS A CHALLENGE Cage?s observation that ?there is no such thing as silence? finds a disturbing echo in today?s world, where issues of ?acoustic ecology? are playing an ever-increasing role, notably in town and transport planning, architecture, and product design. Beyond our ?objective? acoustic environment, it would appear that our ?subjective? perception of sound has also changed, as demonstrate the controversial debates about the ubiquity of sound diffusion in private and public spaces, enabled by modern technology. What do we hear when there is nothing to hear? To what extent do we long for silence? And with how much silence can we cope provided it even exists? This CD is an ?anthology of silence? which spans a large spectrum of historic and contemporary works of art. Its selection of tracks evidences that silence never sounds like silence: while some of the pieces are indeed very quiet, others will seem rather ?loud.? Attentive listeners will be rewarded as they gradually make out the subtle yet far-ranging differences in the various sound atmospheres. The CD contains the radio feature which was broadcasted on August 24, 2012 in the Sound Art program of Deutschlandradio Kultur. Works and Words (Extracts): John Cage -- Nam June Paik -- Filippo Tommaso Marinetti -- Jonty Semper Matt Rogalsky -- Martin Conrads -- Christopher DeLaurenti -- Dave Allen Jacob Kirkegaard -- Lasse?-Marc Riek -- Stephen Vitiello -- Matthieu Saladin Brandon LaBelle -- People Like Us (Vicki Bennett) -- Einst?rzende Neubauten. The exhibition Sounds Like Silence is organized by the Hartware MedienKunstVerein (HMKV) at Dortmunder U in Dortmund, Germany, from August 25, 2012 to January 6, 2013. It is curated by Inke Arns and Dieter Daniels. http://www.hmkv.de/programm/programmpunkte/2012/Ausstellungen/2012_Sounds_like_Silence.php From lists at asquare.org Mon Aug 27 11:26:26 2012 From: lists at asquare.org (Garrett Lynch) Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 16:26:26 +0100 Subject: [microsound-announce] Final call for papers / performances - Remote Encounters Message-ID: <87D0B10A-2EA2-46C6-8574-31566F425DC5@asquare.org> The keynotes / lead performer lineup for the conference Remote Encounters: Connecting bodies, collapsing spaces and temporal ubiquity in networked performance has now been confirmed.

Much of this practice is performative in nature; ether originating from a performance background and using the internet as a new site and/or augmenting aspect of that practice or is a form of practice developed as direct response to the internet and becomes performative to some degree in its spectatorship. It has been well established that the internet is not the first or only example of the use of a networked technology repurposed for creative practice. There is a clear time line that can be traced back through the practice of Roy Ascott and his coining of the term Telematic Art in the 1980's to artist's use of satellite networks, telephone and other telecommunication devices as each were invented. Seen in this respect the internet can be considered as one of many networked technologies that has enabled networked performance. The internet is unique however in that it is not a singular network type that favours a particular form of media, broadcast or spectatorship. Most famously known as the network of networks it enables multiple protocols of which the world wide web's http is just one, is multimedia in nature and encourages intertextual folding and layering of media, is multi-directional not simply a broadcast communication form, de-centralised in ownership and the majority of its technologies are openly accessible. Remote Encounters, a two-day international conference with performance evening, aims to explore the use of networks as a means to enhance or create a wide variety of performance arts. How do networks as a site for performance provide opportunities for us as artists and performers? In particular how can we remotely collaborate, merge geographically separate places and times, reconfigure the space of performance and the relationship between artist and audience? :: Call for papers and performances :: Contributions are invited from practitioners and academics for papers and performances that contextualise current networked performance themes and issues both historically and across the spectrum of different types of networks, explore the wealth of performance opportunities offered by the internet and give a sample of future directions for networked performance. Topics may include, but will not be limited to, the following: Bodies and identity: - Virtual identities and real bodies; - Self projection as other; - Hardware, software and wetware - networked bodies; - The female body and the remote gaze; - Gender and role play; - Robots and cyborgs. New sites, new narratives, new genre: - Networks as new sites of opportunism; - Networked spaces as new territories; - Transmedia storytelling, new narratives; - Mixed reality narratives; - Personal and private spaces as public venue; - First, second and third person narratives; - Intertextuality; The relationship between artist and audience: - Primary and secondary audiences, local and global; - Audience as performer; - Interactive performances and breaking down the fourth wall; - The transformation of audience to user; - Strategies and levels of engagement; - The network as a means for converging and collaborative practice. Tools and technologies: - Democratisation of form and presentation; - Subverting networked communication media; - Alternative and community based networks; - Tubes and streams, from public access television to webcasting; - Virtual worlds and video gaming; - Social networking as performance; - Pervasive and locative performance; - Physical interfaces and feedback; - Telephony and SMS messaging. We are particularly interested in live performance proposals, existing or new, that employ OpenSim and as such could take advantage of a large space provided by the organisers. For further details and an informal chat contact Garrett Lynch (glynch[at]glam[dot]ac[dot]uk) or Inga Burrows (iburrows[at]glam[dot]ac[dot]uk) :: Submissions :: Deadline: 4pm (GMT), Friday 31/08/12 Proposals are now being accepted for paper presentations and live performances delivered both at the venue and remotely.

Link: http://bit.ly/PtTISd MP3: http://bit.ly/PwkTvH Rick Prelinger is an archivist, writer and filmmaker who lives in San Francisco, California. Founder of the Prelinger Archives and the Prelinger Library, and board member of the Internet Archive, Rick has spent years rescuing, digitising and disseminating thousands of home movie reels. Spanning the period from the first few decades of the 20th century ? when only the wealthy classes could afford the technology ?, to the post-war period in America and the proliferation of 8mm cameras, these films capture everything from the trivialities of everyday life to the wildest eccentricity. Through these silent testimonies of urban and human landscapes, Prelinger advocates an unconventional reading of recent history, which avoids unnecessary narratives and is full of surprises and unexpected clashes.
