PROGRAMME
From 12pm (noon)
Main Gallery / South Wing
JOHN BARTHOLOMEW: Installation.
In a darkened space, a large cylinder made from tissue paper glows red from
the hidden electric heater inside it. The hot air from this heater makes the
paper cylinder rise up. This in turn allows cooler air in from below,
thereby making the cylinder gently return to the ground again. The subtle
sound of this constant rhythm is transmitted through microphones attached to
the cylinder.
IMMEDIA: Tent.
A tent is pitched in the middle of the gallery space. Visitors are invited
to enter the tent where they find a pair of headphones. These transmit the
ambient sound of the tent in rainfall. The listener is transported in time
and space through the use of sound to the location of the original recording
which was made using binaural microphones hung in the centre of the tent
space.
PONTUS JOGI: Train to Town + Point of View.
These works, the first using pixelation (compression) of sound and visual,
the other simultaneous split-screen vertical / horizontal animated
landscapes, are interested in the transmission of information: what is
missing and how much we can digest and understand at any moment in time.
JIM Y WOOD: concrt_Wagon.
This work highlights a relationship between lack of motion and perceived
noise. An interactive piece, the 'driver' of a static Renault 4 car triggers
a computer which processes live sound input from sensors both inside the car
and from the car's surrounding environment.
From 7pm
South Wing Listening Room
MARC BEHRENS: Live Performance.
A sound artist noted for his use of environmental and field recordings which
are crafted into a musical tapestry of the microsonic.
CM VON HAUSSWOLFF: Live Performance.
The sonic resonance of electricity translated through the use of
microphones, domestic appliances and sound equipment to create
electro-magnetic compositions that depict static, repetitive and
spatial qualities.
DUUL_DRV: Live Performance.
A sound artist from Canada whose work is produced from digital signal
malfunction and who actively explores the microsonic noisefloor of digital
equipment. Here duul_drv presents a selection of recent works including his
tonal pieces which slowly change in small frequency increments over longer
periods of time: an alteration which is felt more than heard.
DJ1: CD Performance.
A presentation of cutting edge digital microsound including work by: Richard
Chartier, Taylor Deupree, immedia, Sachiko M, Toshiya Tsunoda, Ryoji Ikeda,
Noto...
AUDIO RESEARCH EDITIONS: CD Presentation.
A selection of 1 and 2 minute pieces by various sound artists from three
Audio Research Edition CDs: Hope, Trace, and Zero.
JLIAT: CD Presentation.
A presentation of 46 one-minute so-called 'perfect' sinewaves - from 22050
Hz to 1 Hz - from a potential of 44099.
Bar Area
DJs 2 + 3 present a mix of the best contemporary minimal electronic rhythms
+ visuals.
IMMEDIA: Testcard.
A video testcard and its inverted image are animated over a two frame loop.
The speed and lo-res quality of this hypnotic image introduces random visual
noise.
