The Scalene Project is a colossal undertaking. Named after a type of
triangle, the project takes the three cities of Manchester, Montreal
and Melbourne as its geographical trio of urban contexts and then
looks at producing a project that takes three sets of three
practitioners from each city who collaborate with each other a
sound/music artist, a video artist and a graphic designer for each
metropolis. The three outcomes of this project will be a CD ROM, live
sound/video events and a web site. With a heavy theoretical component,
The Scalene Project is inspired by thinkers such as Paul Virilio and
Hakim Bey, and tackles such concepts as the war of urban space,
parasitical architecture, super-modernism and the moving city.
The live performance of the project will consist of artists
interpretation of the original idea/proposal. Thus each set of artists
will perform their own work as sound and video works. Then there will
be live collaborations of the remixes of each others work both
through sound and video. The Music Gallery presentation is the Toronto
stop on the Scalene Project world tour, which will also include dates
throughout Australia, the U.K., Canada, the U.S. and Japan.
Featured perfomers on Nov. 19 include Battery Operated, a trio of
sound and video artists from France and U.K. based in Manchester.
Thomas Couzinier, Toby Heys and Berengere Marin Dubuard have an album
set for release on Bip Hop in early 2003, and have recently toured
their unique surround sound/video diffusion show with Neotropic and
Gescom.
Montreals Mitchell Akiyama has recorded Substractif and intr_version,
and has garnered many accolades for his electronic music based on
homespun found sounds and aural ecosystems. Another Montrealer,
Identification, is an experimental scratch DJ who is also known as DJ
Luv, The Chillbot Slider and the production manager for Ninja Tune.
The line-up is rounded out by Melbourne turntablist Private Benjamin,
whose handiwork has been favourably compared to Christian Marclay and
Otomo Yoshihide, plus video artists Emma McRae and beewoo.
