SOCIETY FOR NONTRIVIAL PURSUITS
FEED Soundspace | Berlin – Neukölln | http://www.6554.de/ Friday, May 11th 2012 21:00 – 23:00 Free Admission One night showcasing the continued exceptional work of the Society for Nontrivial Pursuits. SOCIETY FOR NONTRIVIAL PURSUITS Students, alumni and friends of the class for Generative Art / Computational Art (Alberto de Campo) at UdK Berlin – Work with analog, digital, and hybrid systems which exhibit nontrivial behavior in time and are open to outside influence. MORPHOLEXICAL PING PONG An improvisational dialogue of acoustic misunderstandings and semanto-phonetic morphologies for self-made sensor instruments, live voice and Supercollider. For two players. Annie Goh, Mari Matsutoya CHIP INTERPRETATIONS What is the character of discrete information? A sonic study that explores the very nature of digital material and its representation in sound. The interpretation of data as code on a sub-semantic level incorporates the very basics of computing: a stack, a heap, an instruction set and a program counter. Using a software probe inserted into the fictional CPU BetaBlocker, we operate on data as if it were raw material, carefully selecting datasets, and thus carving out structures as compositional resources for electronic music composition and live coding. Till Bovermann and workshop participants REPUBLIC111 Code-snippets that create algorithmic sound patterns are written live and run on several laptops; the sounds can jump between the laptops; every player gets all the codelets for responding to, extending, and rewriting them … and unamplified laptops can be full-blown instruments! Members of the Society for Nontrivial Pursuits TRIO BRACHIALE Can one improvise with computers and electronics in lively, expressive, complex ways; change directions instantly, and communicate within a common flow? Trio Brachiale likes to think they have had some good attempts at it. Dominik Hildebrand Marques Lopes: computer, The Finger; Alberto de Campo: computer, electronics; Hannes Hoelzl: computer, electronics BERLINJOLINEN-ORCHESTER The Benjolin is a „bent by design“ analog synth circuit created by Rob Hordijk, which exhibits chaotic behavior in subtly influenceable shadings. GenComp Collective has built a pool of Benjolins to explore its possibilities for ensemble playing. The orchestra is at times extended with other idiosyncratic sound generators.
