The performance does not have a
specific title, it's live video / sound / performance - video is audio generated
and produced in real time with no pre-recorded images; they have been working
on this project for several years; it deals with a precarious situation both artistically
and technically resulting in a music / video performance that cannot be easily

| MIha Ciglar (Slovenia) |
Monday 6 |
will perform an improvised
set based on "no input mixing board" feedback concepts and present the
recent research project that is being developed at IRZU, where we are working
on a method for creating a tactile feedback signal with acoustic pressure waves,
utilizing airborne ultrasound to generate a force field in mid-air that can be
sensed in a tactile way; the interface we developed allows a musician to feel
the actual sound (its temporal and harmonic texture) while allowing him to mold
and shape it - change its acoustic appearance directly with his hands

Hudak (New York) |

of electroacoustic miniatures inspired by European folk melodies, Asian street
songs, and the inflections inherent in the speaking voices of various peoples

time is guaranteed for all; video visual accompaniment and audio collaboration
will be supplied by Bruce Tovsky - skeletonhome.com

Westbrook (New York) |
Friday 10 |
|
To celebrate the first cd release of Byron Westbrook's
CORRIDORS project on Sedimental Records, showcasing works for multi-channel
audio and video; partially composed and partially improvised, CORRIDORS takes
pre-processed instrumental improvisations and re-distributes them through a
customized multi-channel audio system, reacting to the response of a performance
space; video elements are sources of light processed to reduce identification
of form, object and location

A double bill of electronic music from Berlin: Hegenbart
presents his "musicforclouds", a live performance utilizing synthetic
sound in slowly evolving layered processes of meteorological beauty; Straebel
premiers two of his "sound observations", in which soundscape recordings
(one from Niblock's fire escape) are superimposed and then spacialised and closely
observed by means of sliding filters

shadoWMan (Kako) - (self)-made movie,
a poetic machine that tangles and redistributes sounds and images, subjects and
objects, actions and perceptions; an inorganic machine that brings up a heart
beat as an organ to materialize an arithmetic of emotions; a film-poem that produces
de-configured spaces - a movie that makes itself from the inside .facebook.com/shadowman72
