*The transcript of COMPOSING WITH PROCESS: PERSPECTIVES ON GENERATIVE AND SYSTEMS MUSIC #8.1., curated by Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore, is now available online.* Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/extra/composingwithprocess_8_transcript_mark_fell_joe_gilmore/capsula PDF: http://rwm.macba.cat/uploads/20121023/Composingwithprocess8_transcript_eng.pdf Episode eight in the series continues to look at how composers working with generative systems implement change in their works. This episode focuses on models of change using mathematical structures derived from complex dynamic systems observed in nature. Through advances in mathematics, physics and biology, the programme looks at how composers have utilised the central findings of chaos theory and emergent systems – such as cellular automata, Lindenmeyer Systems and fractal geometry – to generate automated dynamic patterns of change.

This year's festival with the title Art of Resilience explores sustainable future development from the position of resilience tactics, addresses relationships of nature and technology and discusses the role of art in developing a techno-ecological perspective. about the exhibition (which is still open thill the end of this week): http://rixc.lv/12/en/exhibition.info.html This year's festival exhibition showcases two artworks - installation Dancing with'without Darvin by Swiss-German artist collective Knowbotiq and Biotricity No. 5 by Latvian artist collective RIXC in collaboration with Voldemars Johansons. Swiss-German artists are experimenting with camouflage suits while artists together with scientists from Latvia are building green energy stations, making visible and audible the process of creating 'bacteria electricity' and seeking relations between biological (natural) and electronic (technological) networks. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - and here, please see video-documentation of the festival events which took place from October 4-6, 2012 http://vimeo.com/51380366 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - best regards, Rasa__ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre

[spectre] Ominous, new work for the Xth Sense at the 5th Live Electronic Music Competition, ECPNM, BE
(sorry for x-post) Dear all, A novel piece for the Xth Sense [1], my visceral biophysical instrument, was commissioned by ECPNM (European Conference of Promoters of New Music), in occasion of the finals of the 5th Live Electronic Music Project Competition, during the ISCM World New Music Days [2]. The new work, titled Ominous, is ready to be premiered tomorrow at De Singel concert hall, in Atwerp, BE. Ominous is a sculpture of incarnated sound... The performance embodies, before the audience, the metaphor of an invisible and unknown object enclosed in my hands. This is made of malleable sonic matter. Similarly to a mime, I model the object in the empty space by means of whole-body gestures. The natural sound of my muscles and its virtual counterpart blend together into an unstable sonic object... The listeners see through sound the sculpture which their sight cannot perceive. Tags: multidimensional gesture, machine learning, muscle sounds, visceral embodiment. Read more at: http://marcodonnarumma.com/works/ominous/ Also on stage tomorrow John Eckhardt, one of the most fascinating performers of the contemporary music scene. fingers crossed! best wishes, [1] http://res.marcodonnarumma.com/projects/xth-sense [2] http://goo.gl/a7B6g -- Marco Donnarumma New Media + Sonic Arts Practitioner, Performer, Teacher, Director.
