[NetBehaviour] Avadance, caught.

2009-10-24 Thread Alan Sondheim



Avadance, caught.


In 1996 there was Kyoko Date in Japan. Shortly after, virtual models.
Around then, Diki in Korea. Shortly after, Adam. Around then in both
Korean and Japan, virtual idols. Kyoko's big song, Love Communication.
Kyoko's big number, dancing in Manhattan. Kyoko is textured wire-frame.
She dances across film/video images of the Brooklyn Bridge. She dances in
front of the Plaza or the Waldorf-Astoria. She dances in crowds. Her
movements are frenetic, angular, energized. She dances fast. In the mid
200/0s, filtered and rewritten motion capture software imitated and
extended Kyoko's dance. The new dance was avadance. The new avatar was
Julu Twine. Avadance was imported into the virtual world Second Life.
Foofwa d'Imobilite took up and extended Twine's avadance. Julu Twine took
up Foofwa d'Imobilite's extensions. Avadance caught on. Kira Sedlock -
credited with the name 'avadance' - taught avadance to fellow students in
the West Virginia University dance department. Avadance spread everywhere.
Foofwa d'Imobilite returned to the origin. Foofwa dreams of Kyoko Date
modified by Julu Twine. Foofwa performs avadance. Again and again,
videography attempts the impossible: record avadance. It's tiresome.
Controlled conditions were used in the Mark Morris studios. Julu Twine
performed the Boojum ritual music. Blue Carter sang 'I wonder what Kansas
will be like.' Foofwa d'Imobilite performed recorded avadance. Avadance
was long, angular. The file was huge. Julu Twine compressed the file. The
result: http://www.alansondheim.org/avadance.mp4 . Clarity is questionable
but the movement is there. The original - about a gigabyte in size. The
copy - 30 meg. Give you an idea. watch his hands.

Hi all,

If you are in London this evening and wondering how to nourish your 
grass roots, noise and sound electrical diodes.

Come and say hello at - Marching Rocks Gloves  Code
A night of experimental electronica: new, old and somewhere in-between.

I'm also DJ'ing ;-)

DJ Reroot (Marc Garrett) playing early electronic music from his own 
personal collection (vinyl only) from between 1976 - 84. Consisting of 
sounds which inspired a generation of energetic musicians and audiences 
who took control of their own culture, through a period which was part 
of the punk, new wave, no wave, electro, post-punk, cultural explosion.

Of course, there's much more...

The marching ends here and kick off the night with some DIY electronic 
instruments powered by alternative energy. http://chiptunemarchingband.com/
Jo Kazuhiro (CultureLab, The SINE WAVE ORCHESTRA, Monalisa, AEO, and a

[NetBehaviour] William Latham's inaugural : Tuesday, Oct. 27, 5h30pm

2009-10-24 Thread Frederic Fol Leymarie

(please distribute at UCL  Rebellion, etc.)

http://www.gold.ac.uk/calendar/?id=3185

Lecture in the Ian Gulland Lecture Theatre, with reception afterwards.
Whitehead Building
nearest train station: New Cross Gate


   Computer art, games and business

*Inaugural Lecture by Professor William Latham, Professor of Computing*



Before and after the lecture selected works will be displayed from the 
Mutator2:- DNA to 3D Organic Forms Exhibition (shown at The Medical 
Research Council in 2007)


All welcome. Please RSVP to Warden's Office at inaugur...@gold.ac.uk or 
on 020 7919 7033


In this lecture William Latham will chart the course of his work from 
its roots in traditional Fine Art, through his early hand drawn 
evolutionary drawing through to his work as a Research Fellow at IBM UK 
Scientific Centre in Winchester from 1987 to 1993. It is there he 
developed his pioneering Mutator computer art style, and he will expand 
on its worldwide exposure at the SIGGRAPH conference and touring 
exhibitions around the world.


He will then cover his commercial work; founding a software development 
studio and its projects in the music and computer games industry over a 
13 year period with Universal Studios, SONY , Virgin and Nokia and later 
due diligence work for banks and investors.


William will then talk about his work since joining Goldsmiths,
University of London, and restarting the Mutator 2 Project there which 
had been dormant for 13 years. He will also discuss the new Mutator 2 
genetics project with the Centre for bioinformatics at Imperial College 
and the broadening scope of Mutator 2 moving into 3D Design and 
architecture. Though the talk is chronological it will cover a mixture 
of art, creative, technical, research, management and business threads 
and William will aim to share some of the sharper personal insights from 
the journey so far, and the importance of collaborative work.

[NetBehaviour] Announcing Vague Terrain 15: .microsound

2009-10-24 Thread Greg J. Smith
Announcing Vague Terrain 15: .microsound

The latest of edition of Vague Terrain is dedicated to celebrating the  
tenth anniversary of the .microsound community. Guest curated by the  
American composer Kim Cascone, the issue provides a range of  
commentary and context on sub-atomic musical aesthetics and a window  
into this globally distributed community of electronic musicians. In  
Cascone's own words .microsound is a fertile middle ground between  
the ivory tower of sterile academia and the seizure-inducing din of  
the dance club. For those unacquainted with this zone of musical  
production, this collection of work provides a perfect introduction.

Featuring text  video contributions by Ben Neill, Charles Turner,  
Dextro, Joanna Demers, Pere Villez, Thanos Chrysakis, Thomas Bey  
William Bailey and William L. Ashline.

[NetBehaviour] back and forth music

2009-10-24 Thread Alan Sondheim



back and forth music


passing techniques: i was dissatisfied with the sound of the cura cumbus,
with strings set in three doubled courses tuned a fourth apart. i changed
them to lighter saz strings, changed the lower course into octaves instead
of unison, and retuned the instrument to cfc'. i reset and repaired the
bridge and lowering to two millimeters at the octave. finally, i reset the
neck position. i can now play with extensive hammering on and off, without
the 'booming' sound that was characteristic of the instrument. i recorded
cured1.mp3 and cured2.mp3. cured1 explores the changes i made with new odd
techniques that are feasible now; cured2 pushes the limit of the riff at
the end of cured1. both of these are 'nerve-jangling.' finally i took the
techniques to the di giorgio classical guitar, producing di1-di4 which
surprised me in their odd beauty. they're given in reverse order, di1
recorded last, a slow and simple mellow piece. the other three indicate a
range of melody and timbre, confined of course to the western twelve-tone
scale, which the cura cumbus escapes. but the amazing sound of the guitar
compensates for this; the timbre range is amazing. the four guitar pieces
are probably my best to date; the two cura cumbus are probably my most
raucous. give them a listen and enjoy. -

[NetBehaviour] technésexual - mixed reality live audio performance in Montreal, photos and video

Performed in Montreal at Artivistic TURN*ON.

In technésexual, Micha Cárdenas and Elle Mehrmand commit playful erotic acts
in physical and virtual space simultaneously, using devices to amplify the
sound of their heartbeats for the two audiences. An electrocardiogram was
used to monitor the heart rate with an Arduino/Freeduino, playing a
recording of the heartbeat at the correct rate using Puredata. The sound is
used here to bridge the two spaces, finding ways of exploring the space
between realities. DIY biometrics are used to bridge realities with audio,
beyond the usual visual approaches to augmented reality or augmented
virtuality.
