Acoustic Camera, Making Sound Visible

2012-01-19T18:42:00.000+01:00

The Acoustic Camera was the first commercially viable system using beamforming to visually localize acoustic emissions. Brought to the market in 2001 as a pioneer technique, the Acoustic Camera has become over the years a metaphor for beamforming systems in general. The tool is now used in a variety of industries and has a growing customer base worldwide.

A three day workshop explaining how to synchronise the movement and parameters of graphics with audio. Graphics could be any kind, from computer generated ones till handmade scanned files passed through photoshop. Audio and images will combine into after effects get manipulated,synchronised and export as audio driven quicktime movies. A usage of expressions (code) will take place too, for more advanced and specific synchronisation. Participants are encouraged to develop projects which will be presented at the end of the workshop.

Textile researcher Berit Greinke and composer for electroacoustic music Alessandro Altavilla will give a collaborative 3-day workshop based on the project CHROME that investigates visual and audio pattern creation through colour chromatography.

Only a few places, sign up NOW

The two artists will give an overview of their work and research involving textiles and digital sound, conduct a 3-day workshop to explore techniques and materials to create chromatic prints and sounds, and perform a live set involving textile and digital interfaces.

Berit Greinke is a researcher in textile design and digital sound. She has studied at Art School Berlin, and graduated from Central St Martin’s College of Art & Design, gaining an MA in Design for Textile Futures in 2009. From October 2010 she has undertaken an EPSRC funded PhD in Media and Arts Technology at Queen Mary University of London. Her practice-based research focus is on cross-modal experience, developing interactive installations of textiles and digital sound. Her work has been exhibited internationally and has won multiple awards, such as the Surface Bursary by the London Printworks Trust funded by the Leverhulme Trust, NOBELini Award funded by the Medical Research Council and a DAAD annual scholarship.

Alessandro Altavilla is a sound artist, sound designer for cinema and an electroacoustic music composer. His research focuses on augmented urban experience through sound and mobile technology. He gained an M.Res. in Digital Media, Culture Lab under the supervision of Atau Tanaka, after obtaining a B.Mus. in electroacoustic music composition in Italy.

The workshop is held by KHIB in collaboration with BEK.

"Poeme Rhythmique" excerpt from mini-performance at Aldeburgh Festival 2011

2012-01-15T12:58:00.000+01:00

An on-going project and collaboration between Memo Akten and Mira Calix. “Poéme Rhythmique (for 100 Children)” is a sound and light composition exploring the nature of complex patterns created from the interaction of multilayered rhythms, and questioning our notion of conventional musical instruments. It is inspired by György Ligetiʼs “Poéme Symphonique for 100 metronomes” and Edgar Varèseʼs “Poéme Electronique”.

VIDEODROME 2012 – Call for Submissions

2011-11-29T20:35:00.001+01:00

Call for Submissions: VIDEODROME 2012 at The Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art
Now accepting submissions of A/V works under 5 mins.
Deadline: April 1st 2012

VIDEODROME is Toronto's foremost event for Visual Music and A/V culture since 2004. Visual Music is video and audio composition made from video edits, simultaneously video AND music where picture matches sound, cut for cut, beat for beat, rhythmic media work where sound and image are equally dominant. See examples here.

Based on the Cronenberg concept, VIDEODROME is an exercise in televisionary excess and sensory overload, video screening as party and vice-versa, in the words of dropFRAMEvideo: “bridging the gaps between the sofa, the club, and the gallery.”

Works must be complete and received by April 1st by post at 193 Augusta, Toronto, ON, M5T 2L4 Or posted to a file-sharing service such as SENDSPACE. Proposals for live performances or installations will also be considered.

VIDEODROME is administrated by Jubal Brown, dropFRAMEvideo, and Apocalypse Tomorrow.

vivarium - convulsions / chdh

2011-11-29T10:00:00.000+01:00

convulsions is the 2nd piece of the vivarium album by chdh.

vivarium is a data/video DVD project based on chdh’s performance work. vivarium’s goal is to switch from a live expression form to written and composed pieces. Thanks to the use of mathematical algorithms and physical models, chdh brings a new vision on the practice of data-processing tools in digital creation. The use of audio-visual objects, having a sound and a video component controlled by the same parameters allows an effective management of the relations between the two medias. Each video track of vivarium is composed around a single physical modeling instrument, evolving from passivity to life, instability and mutation, in a slow and hypnotic time.

Pattern Recognition

2011-11-25T22:40:00.001+01:00

Pattern Recognition is an animated graphical score created in tandem with the music through a finely tuned generative and performative process. Each shape has a dedicated relationship to its corresponding sound, much like notes written on a stave. Each tick, pulse and tone is represented within a labyrinth of grids as it plays with our ear to eye recognition.

My Synesthesia Map: Grapheme-color synesthesia / Dee Adams

2011-11-24T18:31:00.000+01:00

You can find the image at full size at Dee Adams' Flickr account.

I have a condition called Synesthesia that some define as a sort of autism or a condition where your brain experiences correspondences between sound, colour, letter or numbers. My particular case is one in which my brain maps certain colours to certain numbers and letters. Several famous artists both musical, visual arts, and even literary geniuses have documented cases or even written about their experiences. As a kid I had an incredibly difficult time being made to learn using those magnetic plastic letters and numbers. The colour of the plastic never properly corresponded to the right letter or number so I gave up using them as early learning devices.

I included the inversion of the colour map because interestingly enough, blue is a difficult color for me to work with whether in painting or design. It never ever looks quite right to me no matter how it is being used although I consider it a beautiful colour. The inversion has many more tones of blue than my original set.

Different expressions of the same inner nature

2011-11-23T18:23:00.001+01:00

...that affinity at all is possible between a musical composition and a visual representation rests, as we have said, upon the fact that both are simply different expressions of the same inner nature of the world.

Music, television and hyper-capitalism

2011-11-18T12:29:00.001+01:00

"Viacom's property MTV has led this charge since inception in the 1980s, an identity-making machine which, although providing plenty of sounds and images offensive to the older generation, never operated as an organ for social upheaval as much as it acted as a non-stop advertising engine. Even during the 1990s wave of 'alternative' music led by Nirvana et al. the more activist, subversive opinions and statements of the musicians were reduced to clever asides, making the musicians seem like one-dimensional eccentrics with no real cohesive message or plan: 1990s 'alternative' music was, in many ways, as much of media distraction and pre-fabrication as The Monkees and other 'made-for-TV-hippies' were in the 1960s. More recently, MTV began offering its viewers a more brazen image of conspicuous consumption as the royal road to happiness. The 21st century's cast of MTV music stars have doubled as 'one-man brands' promoting hyper-capitalism – were once these artists existed solely to sell recorded music, they now exist to sell any item which can comfortably acommodate a logo."
