Saturday Night @ Share Festival: Bong-Ra

bong ra monitor

ok, lets keep this straightforward: this is the monitor he used to perform with, thanks to super-charming ella esque we were able to plug the recorder directly to the mixer and you can find a proper 320kbps .mp3 bootleg from his performance here, and this is to give you a visualized impression of the party:

share08, OWL PROJECT (UK), “sound lathe workshop”

to lathe sound? what a curious idea, but after we have talked to the sympathetic guys named: “OWL PROJECT”, it finally made sense.

A carpenter’s workshop transforms the sounds of working wood (cutting, sawing, and fixing together) into genuine small objects with the help of a “sound lathe”. This machine records audio data coming from real hand-working processes and mixes them with the dust, sawdust and sounds of the workshop to produce unique, one-off, often flawed objects that become a sort of material souvenir of how we construct furniture.
(from toshare.it)

watch the video to see how exiting it is to make sound with such an simple thing as wood and a carving knife.

friday night: hiroshima mon amour

there is one thing that makes this media art festival really unique: the people here _never_ forget about the social part of a festival – and after years of media art festival hopping i know that this is not quite common. yesterday night we were taken to the “hiroshima mon amour” club . when we entered the venue the reactable performance had just started – i saw the reactabe for the first time a few years ago and i liked the new interface – but when i arrived to the “hiroshima – mon amour” club in turin yesterday i was really impressed that they developed it to a proper instrument which they used to not only show how the interface works but to really rock the house!

after that autechre rocked the house on the mainstage, you can find my first bootleg here. it’s pretty LQ, unedited and really just useful to give you an impression…

as ever the coin has two sides and the parties claim their victims. we managed to take some really nice interviews – some of them are already cut and will be online soon – but most of them are only recorded ad will not be online during the weekend. have to go now, party on… :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :arrow: :mrgreen:

sound:frame festival symposion

Ist VJing Kunst ? diese Frage stellten sich ein paar namhafte Vertreter der österreichischen Visualistenszene bei einem Symposion des sound:frame Festivals im Künstlerhaus.

digital theremin workshop

part of the club transmediale were the xxxxx-workshops which where held in the ballhaus naunyn. i tried to participate in all the workshops, but due to lack of sleep and a missed flight to berlin i only participated in the digital theremin workshop which was held by andrey smirnov from the theremin center in moscow and derek holzer. smirnov introduced us to the history of the known theremin instrument and lots of interesting info about leon theremin and his other inventions and his connections to secret services.

after a short introduction of pd by derek holzer, who also curated the worskhop series together with Martin Howse, we started to play around with the small digital theremin boards connected either via arduino board or via the standard mic/line input of our computers… pretty cool stuff the small digital theremin boards – because of digital tuning of the two oscillators it is very convenient and usefull even for installations, because there is no need for manual tuning which is a problem for analog theremins. so this was really a very good and interesting workshop which i was happy to attend. it was organized by pickledfeet and they are very active in knowledge transfer – so watch out for upcoming events.

little advice in the end : don´t try pd on macbooks with leopard yet – it nearly destroyed my computer, because it didn´t go to sleep mode after i closed it.

Interview battle: Gordan Savicic vs. Emanuel Andel

Da uns der Schirm etliche neue Spielformen bietet und ich mir nicht sicher war ob es ok ist es an mich selbst per Interview auf einem Blog feature den ich mitbetreibe, haben wir abgesehen vom Schirm noch ein neues Format entwickelt: Das Interviewbattle – Gordan vs. Emanuel

Gordan erklärt im ersten Teil des Videos seine Projekt “Constraint City”, nit dem er infolge den 3. Preis den Transmediale Awards gewonnen hat. Emanuel Andel präsentiert seine Arbeit “Knife.Hand.Chop.Bot”.

tagr.tv umbr.ella

Following the great concept of ella esque we built a mobile interview environment which is equipped with a bird-view camera and a microphone inside the umbrella. that makes it possible to use low-qual. cameras but still provide proper sound. Beside the technical advantages this setup provides the interview team with an own space – no matter where the interview takes place. we have to admit that our first interviews are still lacking in terms of audio quality, but we’re on our way..

+ a BIG THANK YOU to the guys from LM/LN, without their [great skills/working place/mental support]:help we couldn’t have managed to realize it!! Thanks

Moving Forest with Superbertram squatting HKW

Another group of Moving Forest Action was supported by Superbertram, the streaming bot guy who i am. I ended up being locked to the building and doing public video broadcasting for 3 days and nights at the castle.. You find the Flickr-sets at http://flickr.com/photos/superbertram/sets/
