2010 Earzoom
Earzoom 2010 2. - 7. oktober 2010 Ljubljana, Slovenija Earzoom Festival ZvoËnih Sonic Arts Festival Umetnosti 2010 Inštitut za Raziskovanje Zvočnih Umetnosti (IRZU) je bil ustanovljen leta 2008 z namenom zapolnjevanja manka vsebin na interdisciplinarnem področju sodobnih zvočnih umetnosti v lokalnem okolju. Tri osnovna področja delovanja inštituta so: raziskovanje in razvoj na področju avdio tehnologij (digitalna obdelava/ analiza signalov, oblikovanje interaktivnih vmesnikov, nelinearna akustika, idr.), umetniška produkcija (razstave, Instalacije, performansi, filmi) ter izobraževalne dejavnosti (predavanja in delavnice), ki so namenjene predvsem opismenjevanju mladih skladateljev ter intermedijskih umetnikov na področju digitalnih tehnologij in konceptualnih pristopov v sodobnih zvočnih praksah. IRZU – the Institute for sonic Arts Research was founded in 2008 in Ljubljana with the aim of filling a local content gap in the interdisciplinary field of contemporary sonic arts. Our activities cover the following three main areas: audio technology research (digital signal processing, sonic interaction design, music information retrieval, non-linear acoustics, etc.), artistic productions (performances, exhibitions, installations, films) and educational projects (lectures, workshops), which are mostly aimed at transmitting basic knowledge on the use of digital technologies and conceptual approaches in sonic arts, to local composers and intermedia artists. Festival EarZoom organiziramo že drugo leto zapored v sodelovanju z mnogimi vladnimi in nevladnimi organizacijami, ki so aktivno vpletene v produkcijo, tako da prispevajo posamezne vsebine ali infrastrukturo. Namen festivala je vzpostavitev referenčne mednarodne platforme za dialog o napredku tako v polju tehničnega razvoja kot tudi umetniških prijemov znotraj sodobnih zvočnih praks. In its second year, the EarZoom festival is being produced in collaboration with several governmental and non-governmental institutions, which are contributing individual program segments as well as the infrastructure for its realization. The aim of the festival is creating a referential international platform for discussing the latest developments within audio technology research and the artistic trends of sonic practices. Festival predstavlja koli štirideset umetnikov in znanstvenikov - predstavnikov raziskovalnih inštitutov z vsega sveta - ki preko konkretnih primerov oz. lastnih projektov, ponazarjajo stanje razvoja na posameznih, trenutno aktualnih področjih kot so: strojno poslušanje, algoritmična kompozicija, novi vmesniki za glasbeno izražanje, kodiranje telesnih gest, ubikvitarno procesiranje, ambisonic sistemi za sintezo virtualnih zvočnih okolij, itd. Ker ta področja v Sloveniji še niso razvita in ker je IRZU ustanovljen prav s tem namenom, da prične z razvojem in promocijo teh vsebin v lokalnem okolju, je organizacija festivala kot je EarZoom za uspešno implementacijo naših idej v praksi ključnega pomena. S festivalom si ustvarjamo širši, mednarodni kontekst, ki je nujno potreben za prepoznavanje namena našega delovanja na lokalni ravni, kjer smo kot mlada nevladna organizacija - brez zagotovljenih finančnih sredstev - nenehno primorani argumentirati svoje programske cilje in se tako boriti za obstoj. Za EarZoom 2010 is featuring around forty international artists and scientists presenting state of the art research in exciting disciplines like machine listening, algorithmic composition, new interfaces for musical expression, gesture recognition, ubiquitous computing, ambisonic systems for virtual sound environment synthesis, etc. In Slovenia, these research areas are not yet developed, which was also one of the main reasons for establishing an Institute for Sonic Arts Research. Since IRZU is a private initiative, the successful implementation of its program agenda as a research, production and education institute, relies strongly on the EarZoom festival, which has a crucial function in promoting the importance as well as creating an international context for IRZU’s activities within the local environment. As a non governmental organization, IRZU is constantly required to legitimize its existence and fight for securing the financial means required for running its program. In order to operate, we needed to develop several zagotavljanje delovanja inštituta se poslužujemo številnih strategij, in ker po dveh letih delovanja ugotavljamo, da večino energije vlagamo prav v ohranjanje samega obstoja, namesto v programske vsebine, smo se odločili, da vpeljemo v letošnji festival tudi to problematiko. Vprašanja, ki določajo širši kontekst letošnjega festivala in ga umeščajo še v nekoliko širše polje sodobnih umetniških praks, so povezana s preživetvenimi strategijami in vzpostavljanjem identitete v sistemu nevladnega sektorja. V sodelovanju z vrsto evropskih institucij: Transcultures: center za inter-medijske in zvočne umetnosti (Mons, BE), Nida Art Colony: interdisciplinarna umetnost, izobraževanje in center za rezidence (Vilna/Nida, LT), Kitchen Budimpešta: med-disciplinarni laboratorij za nove medije (Budimpešta, HU), Pixelache: Festival elektronskih umetnosti in sub-kultur (Helsinki, FI), MigAA: Migrating Art Academies (Köln/DE, Vilna/LT, Poitiers & Angoulême/FR) smo se povezali v mrežo, oz. ustanovili projekt T.R.A.C.E.S. Ena izmed osnovnih idej projekta je raziskovanje razmerij med uporom, ki ga manjše organizacije v vsebinskem smislu gojimo do institucionaliziranih praks ter adaptacijo lastnih interesov oz. afirmacijo dominantnih programskih direktiv, nastavljenih s strani državnih in zasebnih teles, ki financirajo naše programe. T.R.A.C.E.S. pa odpira tudi prostor za refleksijo umetniških in kuratorskih praks ter ustvarja platformo za izmenjavo izkušenj in znanja. Jedro festivala EarZoom je tri-dnevni simpozij, na katerega smo povabili predstavnike tako vladnih kot nevladnih organizacij ter inštitutov iz mednarodnega prostora. Primarni namen simpozija je sicer predstavitev raziskovalnih smernic v polju tehnoloških in umetniških praks, posebna pozornost pa je letos namenjena tudi umeščanju le-teh v sisteme delovanja institucij. Izpostavljeni so lokalni politični konteksti, kot pogoji na osnovi katerih so se skozi leta vzpostavljale različne oblike interdisciplinarnih inštitutov in produkcijskih platform. Cilj projekta T.R.A.C.E.S. je spregovoriti o problemih in vprašanjih, ki se običajno odvijajo v ozadju programskih vsebin, ki pa vendarle okupirajo dobršni del delovnih resursov posameznih organizacij. Z izmenjavo izkušenj iz različnih lokalnih kontekstov, želimo vzpodbuditi pretok informacij o ključnih strategijah pri vzpostavljanju in delovanju inštitucij, ki prinašajo alternativne in inovativne vsebine. Na tak način lahko recikliramo informacije ter razmislimo o možnostih prenosa in re-kontekstualizacije nekaterih uspešnih razvojnih taktik, kar bi v prihodnje lahko koristilo nadaljnjemu razvoju posameznih „neodvisnih“ iniciativ. different fund-raising strategies and after two years of existence, it can be said that the efforts towards keeping the institute alive and functioning are still exceeding the efforts towards developing professional contents. For this reason we decided to put these and other questions, concerning survival and identity creation within the institutional landscape, in the focus of this years festival edition. This kind of perspective extends the scope of the festival and opens a discussion concerning a broader range of cultural workers sharing a similar situation. In collaboration with several European institutions: Transcultures: Centre for Intermedia and sonic arts & cultures (Mons, BE), Nida Art Colony: Interdisciplinary art, education & residency center (Vilnius/Nida, LT), Kitchen Budapest: Cross-disciplinary new media lab (Budapest, HU), Pixelache: Festival of electronic art and subcultures (Helsinki, FI), MigAA: Migrating Art Academies (Cologne/DE, Vilnius/LT, Poitiers & Angoulême/FR) we created a network project called T.R.A.C.E.S. - Transcultural Research, Artist, Curator Exchange Series. One of our main ideas was to trace and analyze the balance between the amount of resistance of alternative institutions - proposing innovative contents - towards established institutions and the amount of adaptation of their original agendas in order to conform with the program directives set by the funding bodies. T.R.A.C.E.S. also extends a space for reflecting on artistic and curatorial practices, while creating resources to share our skills and knowledge. The core of EarZoom is a threeday symposium featuring artists, researchers and curators representing governmental- and non-governmental institutions from all over the world. The main aim of the symposium is still the presentation of contemporary trends in technology based art practices, but furthermore, a critical reflection on how these particular contents are interwoven with local institutional systems are being encouraged. The task is to identify local political contexts that represent the basis on which the evolution of research and educational institutions, as well as production platforms was taking place throughout the years. The purpose of T.R.A.C.E.S. is to speak out about the internal working concepts and questions which are usually unfolding behind the scenes. Nevertheless these survival strategies occupy a large portion of an organization’s working resources and what is more, they even exhibit a strong correlation with its actual program/content outputs. Through exchange of individual experiences from local environments we would like to encourage the information flow on key strategies of establishing new / alternative institutions. In this way we can re-cycle information and consider the re-contextualization of successful solutions and development tactics in order to improve the Miha Ciglar Festival Director sustainability of different local initiatives.

Presentation Álvaro Barbosa Public Sound Objects: From the web to the real world Predavanje AO/PT www.abarbosa.org Public sound objects: Od svetovnega spleta do realnega sveta The Public Sound Objects (PSOs) project consists of the development of a networked musical system, which is an experimental framework to implement and test new concepts for on-line music communication. The new project of a Public interactive installation based PSOs system was commissioned in 2007 by Casa da Musica, the main concert hall space in Porto and it was installed permanently in 2009. It resulted in a distributed musical structure with up to ten interactive performance terminals distributed along the Casa da Musica’s hallways, collectively controlling a shared acoustic piano. The installation allows the visitors to collaborate remotely with each other, within the building, using a software interface custom developed to facilitate collaborative music practices and with no requirements of previous knowledge of musical performance. Projekt Public Sound Objects (PSOs) se ukvarja z razvojem med-mrežnega glasbenega sistema eksperimentalne narave, ki preizkuša nove koncepte glasbene komunikacije preko svetovnega spleta. 2007 je bila naročena javna interaktivna instalacija PSOs sistema v Casa da Musica, glavni koncertni dvorani v Portu, ter dokončno postavljena leta 2009. Realizirana je bila kot porazdeljena glasbena struktura oz. glasbeni inštrument z do 10-imi interaktivnimi terminali, nameščenimi po hodnikih Case da Musica. Preko posameznih terminalov lahko več performerjev hkrati upravlja oz. igra na en akustični klavir. Instalacija omogoča obiskovalcem da performirajo skupaj s tem, da se hkrati nahajajo v različnih prostorih v isti stavbi. Razvit je bil poseben vmesnik, ki uporabniku omogoča skupno upravljanje tradicionalnega glasbenega inštrumenta brez predhodnega Produkcija / Production: znanja o muziciranju. IRZU, Galreija Kapelica, Moderna galerija Rojen 1959 v Schwanenstadt, v Avstriji. Po prvotnem študiju grafične umetnosti se je navdušil nad Free Jazzom. Konča študij kompozicije v Gradcu in na Dunaju pod mentorji: Gösta Neuwirth in Roman HaubenstockRamati. Od leta 1982 živi v Berlinu, kjer je iniciral in realiziral številne festivale in koncerte. 1988 ustanovi zasedbo “Zwischentöne”. 1993 je bil gostujoči profesor na Univerzi za Glasbo v Gradcu. Kot gostujoči dirigent je vodil zasedbe: ‘Klangforum Wien’, ‘United Berlin’ in ‘Insel Musik Ensemble’. Od leta 1990 deluje kot samozaposleni umetnik – glasbenik. Je eden redkih umetnikov, ki danes uporabljajo hrup brez kakršnegakoli simbolizma, torej zgolj hrup sam po sebi, kot glasbo. Zanimajo ga vprašanja o naravi zvoka, časa in prostora. Njegova dognanja so z vpogledi v repeticijo/monotonijo, redukcijo/odvečnost, gostoto/entropijo itd. postavila na glavo mnoge temeljne predpostavke v glasbi. Peter Ablinger was born in Schwanenstadt, Austria in 1959. He first studied graphic arts and became enthused by free jazz. He completed his studies in composition with Gösta Neuwirth and Roman Haubenstock-Ramati in Graz and Vienna. Since 1982 he has lived in Berlin, where he has initiated and conducted numerous festivals and concerts. In 1988 he founded the Ensemble Zwischentöne. In 1993 he was a visiting professor at the University of Music, Graz. He has been guest conductor of ‘Klangforum Wien’, ‘United Berlin’ and the ‘Insel Musik Ensemble’. Since 1990 Peter Ablinger has worked as a freelance musician. Peter Ablinger is one of the few artists today who uses noise without any kind of symbolism - not as a signifier for chaos, energy, entropy, disorder, or uproar; not for opposing something, or being disobedient or destructive; not for everything, for eternity, or for what-have-you. As in all these cases of music deliberately involving noise, noise is the case, but for Ablinger: this alone. Peter Ablinger has also come a long way in questioning the nature of sound, AT time, and space (the components usually thought central to music), and his findings have jeopardized and made dubious conventions usually thought irrefutable. These ablinger.mur.at insights pertain to repetition and monotony, reduction and redundancy, density and entropy. Installation Peter Ablinger Instalacija Deus Cantando From the series Quadraturen: For computer-controlled piano and screened text - “Declaration of the International Environmental Criminal Court” Iz serije Quadraturen: Za raËunalniško upravljan klavir in projeciran text - “Deklaracija mednarodnega sodišËa za okoljske zloËine” Produkcija / Production: IRZU, ŠKUC Računalniško upravljan klavir: Winfried Ritsch Computer-controlled piano-player: Winfried Ritsch Quadraturen je serija instalacij, elektro-akustičnih in koncertnih del, oz. eno delo, ki se pojavlja v različnih instancah kot simfonični orkester, instalacija, ali kot računalniško upravljan klavir. 1. Zmeraj se izhaja iz „akustične fotografije“ oz. fonografa. To je lahko zvočni posnetek česarkoli: govora, cestnega hrupa, glasbe, itd. 2. Časovna in frekvenčna os izbranega „fonografa“ se nato kvantizirata v mrežo diskretnih enot - „kvadratov“, ki so lahko reprezentirane/i skozi, npr. sekunde v časovni- in pol-toni v frekvenčni domeni. 3. Tako dobimo mrežo oz. partituro, ki jo lahko reproduciramo v različnih medijih, kot so npr. Tradicionalni instrumenti, računalniško upravljan klavir, ali beli šum. Quadraturen (“Squarings”) is a cycle of installation-, electroacoustic-, and concert-pieces, or, one work that appears in one instance as symphony orchestra, in another as sound installation and in the next as a computercontrolled player piano. 1. The first step is always an acoustic photograph (“phonograph”). This can be a recording of anything: speech, street noise, music. 2. Time and frequency of the chosen “phonograph” are dissolved into a grid of small “squares” whose format may, for example, be 1 second (time) to 1 second (interval). 3. The resulting grid is the score, which is then to be reproduced in different media: on traditional instruments, computer controlled piano, or in white noise. Reprodukcijo „fonografov“ s pomočjo akustičnih inštrumentov Ablinger primerja s foto-realizmom v slikarstvu. Tehnični aspekt serije „Quadraturen“ primerja s postopki, pri katerih se uporablja tehnika mreže za prenos fotografij. Kadar uporabljamo inštrumente na katere igrajo ljudje, je potrebno mrežo razširiti (upočasniti), zato, da je interpretacija sploh možna. V tem primeru rezultat transformacije, ni toliko reprodukcija originala, pač pa je zgolj neke vrste poskus grobe primerjave originala z reprodukcijo ustvarjeno s pomočjo inštrumentalnih zvokov. Z uporabo manjših zvočnih zrn pri reprodukciji, npr. 16 enot na sekundo (to je meja zmogljivosti repeticije akustičnega klavirja), se je originalu možno približati do meje prepoznavnosti. Z nekoliko prakse pri poslušanju računalniško upravljanega klavirja, je možno prepoznati / dekodirati celo govorjene besede, stavke. The reproduction of “phonographs” by instruments can be compared to photo-realist painting, or - what describes the technical aspect of the “Quadraturen” more precisely -with techniques in the graphic arts that use grids to transform photos into prints. When using humanly played instruments the grid has to be enlarged (slowed down) to remain playable - thus the result of the transformation is not so much a reproduction of the original but an approach to, or a situation of comparison between instrumental sounds and the original sound source. Using a smaller grain, e.g. 16 units per second (about the limit of the player piano), the original source approaches the border of recognition within the reproduction. With practice listening the player piano can even perform structures possible for a listener to transpose into/understand as spoken sentences. Glavi namen projekta vsekakor ni avtentična reprodukcija originala, temveč raziskovanje meje med abstraktno glasbeno strukturo in nenadnim prestopom v popolno prepoznavnost. Izpostavljeno je razmerje med glasbenimi kvalitetami in „fono-realizmom“, oz. opazovanje realnosti skozi glasbo. Actually however, my main concern is not the literal reproduction itself but precisely this border-zone between abstract musical structure and the sudden shift into recognition - the relationship between musical qualities and “phonorealism”: the observation of “reality” via “music”. Marko Batista je v Ljubljani diplomiran akademski slikar, ki je magistriral na University of the Arts London / Central Saint Martins v Londonu (20062007). Je so-ustanovitelj multimedijske skupine KLON:ART:RESISTANCE. Z AV performansi in video deli se je udeležil preko štirideset festivalov in skupinskih razstav, kot so 10.

Istanbul Bienale, Turčija; Media Art Friesland Festival 2007 na Nizozemskem; Visual Deflection festival, London; BIXFacade Kunsthaus Graz; Ars Electronica, Linz. S samostojno razstavo je sodeloval na letošnjem Transmediale.10 v Berlinu. Marko Batista is Ljubljana based tech-mixed-media artist, sound researcher, video experimentalist and AV performer, born in Tito’s Yugoslavia. Batista focuses on themes such as displaced sound-scapes, video transformation processes, networking data, collaboration, linking concepts, hybrid spaces, politics of art and other fields of contemporary media art. Graduated from Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana and finished Master of Arts degree from Central Saint Martins in London. Marko Batista is a founding member of experimental multimedia group Klon:Art:Resistance. In 2003 he collaborated on a project for 50th LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA: VV2 <Recycling the Future>. His works have been presented at ARS ELECTRONICA-Featured Art Scene in 2008, 10th INTERNATIONAL ISTANBUL BIENNIAL, BIX Facade KUNSTHAUS GRAZ, Cellsbutton#3- Indonesia, VIENNABIENNALE 2008, ELECTRONIC CHURCH Berlin, CCA Glasgow, SLOWTIME 2007, Museum of Modern Art-Ljubljana, PIXXELPOINT 2005, 15th International Festival of Computer Arts-Maribor, ZERO Gallery/TRANSMEDIALE.10-Berlin. Performance Marko Batista H220 Performans SLO www.project-data.info www.aksioma.org/h220 V performansu H220 Marko Batista nadaljuje eksperimentalna zvočno-vizualna raziskovanja iz serije projektov z naslovom ‘Hibridne strukture in dislocirani objekti’. S pomočjo tehnologije se avtor osredotoča na oblikovanje hibridnega okolja ne-linearnih struktur in dislociranih matric. Partikularni zvočni sistemi oblikujejo tako imenovano mrežo potujočih objektov ter se s pomočjo realtime sodobne tehnologije prepletajo z začasnimi digitalno generiranimi vizualnimi procesi. Intermedijski performans ponuja gledalcu poleg eksperimentalnega pristopa ter nizanja vizualnih podob specifično prostorsko izkušnjo zvočnih sekvenc, ki so kompleksno prepletene in generirane iz nizko frekvenčnih elektromagnetnih spektrov. Avtor z uporabo posebej izdelanih elektronskih orodij in kontrolnih elementov tvori platformo, ki omogoča rizomatsko okolje hibridnih dislociranih enot. Marko Batista continues his experimental audio-visual explorations from the series of projects entitled “Displaced Objects and Hybrid Structures”. Using technology, the author focuses on shaping a hybrid environment of nonlinear structures and displaced matrixes. Particular audio systems form a so-called network of travelling objects and, through the use of modern realtime technology, intertwine with temporary digitally generated visual processes. Besides an experimental approach and a succession of visual images, Batista’s intermedia performance offers a specific spatial experience of audio sequences that are intricately intertwined and generated from low-frequency electromagnetic spectres.

Zapolnjeval naj bi manko vsebin (teoretičnih, praktičnih, delavnic in družbenih iniciativ) na vseh treh področjih. Z vključevanjem študentov različnih strok v usmeritev v oblikovanje progama, se projekt BOKS fokusira na povezovanje študentov umetnosti s študenti drugih fakultet. Študente umetnosti poskuša pripraviti na sistem, v katerega bodo vstopili po končanem izobraževanju, ter odpreti umetniško prakso drugim družbenim poljem. BOKS želi vzpostaviti točko za izmenjavo kritične in kreativne mlade misli, ki potencialno lahko ponudi nove odgovore na družbena vprašanja. V interesu BOKS-a je delovanje, ki spodbuja iskanje in vzpostavljanje manjkajočih členov med umetnostjo in družbo. 2 -BOKS je objekt- prostor za izvajanje programa. 3 -BOKS je društvo, ki upravlja z objektom in izvaja program 1 -BOKS is a student (art) platform in Ljubljana intended to establish a critical dialogue and reflection of the educational system, art system and society in general. Its purpose is to fill in the shortage of such contents (theoretical, practical, workshops and civil initiatives in all three above-mentioned domains. Incorporation of students of various expertise into the designation of the programme the BOKS project focuses on networking of art students with the students of other faculties. Its objective is to prepare the current art students for the system they are to enter after they finish their studies SLO as well as to open up the artistic practice to other social fields. BOKS wishes to establish the point for the www.boksproject.org mutual exchange of critical and creative young thought, potentially offering new answers to social questions. It is of crucial importance for BOKS to encourage the search as well as establishment of the missing links between the art and society. 2 -BOKS is a space to enact the programs / execution of programs 3 -BOKS is an association managing the premises and executing programs. Presentation Projekt BOKS Predavanje Produkcija / Production: IRZU, Projekt BOKS, Moderna galerija Avstralski dvojec Band Leather Band se posveča izvajanju elektronske eksperimentalne glasbe. Joanne Cannon in Stuart Favilla razvijata unikaten Avstralski [prost] pristop k muziciranju, pri čemer združujeta virtuoznost improvizacije s vizualnostjo njunih spektakularnih inštrumentov. V sodelovanju z tasmanskim umetnikom usnja Garryjem Greenwoodom so nastali pihalni inštrumenti v oblikah kač, pošasti ter svetlobna harfa z zmajevo glavo. Njihovo delo temelji na renesančni, baročni ter indijanski tradiciji izdelovanja inštrumentov, katero razširi s sodobnimi tehnologijami senzorjev ter digitalne sinteze in obdelave signalov, s čimer dosežejo visoko stopnjo diferenciacije v zvočni izraznosti. Stuart in Joanne se posvečata umetnosti računalniške glasbe. Unikatno glasbeno govorico razvijata okoli paradigme žive skupne improvizacije, ki jo gojita na osnovi dolgoročnega raziskovanja izraznih posebnosti novih glasbenih inštrumentov. Bent Leather Band z improvizacijskim pristopom raziskuje koncept „Proste Glasbe“ (Free Music) Percyja Graingerja, za kar leta 2004 prejme Karl Szucka Preis in leta 2006 IAWM New Genre Prize. Nastopajo po Avstraliji, Evropi [Aarhus, Barcelona, Basel, Belfast, Paris, Genova, Padova] in Aziji. Performance Workshop Presentation Bent Leather Band Australia’s premiere experimental electronic instrument duo, the Bent Leather Band has developed a uniquely Australian [Free] approach to music making. Joanne Cannon and Stuart Favilla’s music sets virtuosity and duo improvisation against a visual spectacle of electronic leather Stradivari. These instruments, made in collaboration with Tasmanian leather artist Garry Greenwood, include the dragon headed light-harps, serpents and monsters. Inspired by the instrument making traditions of the Renaissance, Baroque and Indian music traditions, their work embodies sensor technologies, synthesis and signal processing techniques, which achieve a fine degree of expressive refinement. Dedicated to the art of computer music, their unique perspective encompasses the paradigm of live ensemble improvisation and the nature of playability [developing expressive practicable instruments] and considers that these two elements should be in governance with a musical language. Bent Leather Band’s improvised explorations of Percy Grainger’s Free Music have been recognized by a number of International prizes including the 2004 Karl Szucka Preis and the 2006 IAWM New Genre Prize. They have performed regularly throughout Australia, Europe [Aarhus, Barcelona, Basel, Belfast, Paris, Genova, Padova] and Asia. Delo raziskuje koncepte „Proste Glasbe“ (Free Music) Percyja Graingerja „polzeči toni, mikro intervali, nepravilni ritmi“ [Grainger, 1951], ki jih zoprestavlja s koncepti muziciranja 21. Stoletja. Skladba sestoji iz solo in duo delov, odigranih na elekro-usnjenih glasbenih inštrumentih: Svetlobna harfa, Serpentinski fagot in Contra-monster. Children of Grainger Vstopnice / Tickets: 10 / 8 Evro Glasbeniki, prinesite svoje inštrumente in se pridružite muziciranju! V okviru delavnice bomo raziskovali pristope k interaktivni improvizaciji ter predstavili koncepte avtomatskega sledenja/prepoznavanja glasbenih struktur [machine-listening] ter koncepte generativnega komponiranja. Predstavljene bodo tudi nekatere tehnike obdelave in sinteze zvoka v realnem času ki uporabljajo naslednje vmesnike: MaxMSP, MIDI, Open Sound Control.

Interact explores interactive improvisation and will introduce concepts of live performance tracking [machine-listening] and generative music making. The workshop will also demonstrate live signal processing/ synthesis techniques, MaxMSP, MIDI, Open Sound Control interfaces and more. Cena delavnice / Workshop fee: 10 Evro Performans Delavnica Bent Leather Band presents Children of Grainger a concert/exhibition work exploring Percy Grainger’s free music life and legacy. Grainger’s free music; i.e. “music using gliding tones, very small intervals and irregular rhythms” [Grainger, 1951] is juxtaposed within the context of 21st Century music making. Children of Grainger features solo and duo performances of by the Bent Leather Band showcasing their incredible electronic leather instruments including the Light-harp, Serpentinebassoon and Contra-monster. This lecture presents research undertaken by the Bent Leather Band investigating the application of live Ambisonics to large digital-instrument ensemble improvisation. Their playable approach to live ambisonic projection is inspired by the work of Trevor Wishart and presents a systematic investigation of the potential for live spatial motion improvisation.

Mar bi ga bili porabili za dohajanje in razumevanje vsega tega razvoja. Milijarda računalnikov in tri milijarde mobilnih telefonov so le začetek masovne produkcije in konzuma vsebin, ki sproža konflikt med pasivnostjo in aktivno interakcijo uporabnikov. V generativni glasbi lahko zgolj en sam proces pripelje do neštetih glasbenih rezultatov. Razsežnosti produktov enega glasbenega stroja lahko zlahka presežejo kapacitete človeške percepcije in razumevanja. V dobi obsesivnega spreminjanja se delo s stabilno tehnologijo morda zdi nedosegljivo razkošje, digitalno arhiviranje pa se bo morda izkazalo le kot jalovo prizadevanje. A bodo medijski arheologi utegnili ohraniti „Lyre Hero“, ali pa bodo preveč zaposleni z delom na lastnih umetniških projektih? V prezentaciji bomo deležni obilice elektronske glase in glasbene tehnologije, obdelali bomo prihodnost izvajalcev in raziskovalcev ter povzeli nekatere spekulacije izbranih avtorjev znanstvene fantastike. To say that technology was fast moving would already have wasted precious moments that might be better spent catching up. One billion computers and three billion mobile phones are just the beginning of mass content creation and consumption, with the balance of our time between passivity and active interaction a zone of dispute. In generative music, even a single process can lead to innumerable musical products; understanding the scope of the outputs from a musical machine can take lifetimes. In the face of obsessive change, working with a stable musical technology can seem an impossible luxury, and digital archiving a futile pursuit. Will media archaeologists preserve Lyre Hero, or be too busy working on their own art projects? In this presentation we will encounter the fevered outpouring of electronic music and music technology, the futurology of practitioners and researchers, and even the speculations of selected science fiction authors. Delavnica Workshop SuperCollider is an environment and programming language for real time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, and lots of fun. It provides an interpreted object-oriented language which functions as a network client to a state of the art, real-time sound synthesis server. You can live code it as you perform, or use it to build interactive systems for concerts and installations (it’s free to download and cross-platform: supercollider. sourceforge.net) SuperCollider je programsko okolje in orodje za sintezo zvoka in algoritmično komponiranje v realnem času. Zajema interpretiran, objektno orientiran programski jezik, ki deluje kot omrežni client za strežnik, ki sintetizira zvok v realnem času. Medtem, ko performirate lahko v živo pišete - dodajate in spreminjate - kodo. Program lahko uporabljate tudi za oblikovanje interaktivnih sistemov za koncerte ali instalacije.

Presentation Jurij Dobriakov Imagining Outsider Culture in Today’s Lithuania Predavanje LT Sodobna ideja alternativne kulture v Litvi As contemporary culture becomes increasingly projectbased, funding-oriented, and intertwined with institutions of power and their agendas, there emerges a certain longing and desire for a more communal, remote, sectarian – in short, outsider brand of culture. For several years already, a peculiar trend of moving out of the urban centre in the direction of the rural periphery with the aim of establishing independent artistic communities, alternative culture centres, semi-fictional secretive organizations and even remote family compounds has been observable in Lithuania, yet it remains poorly researched and discussed as a phenomenon. Are we witnessing a re-incarnation of the 1960s-1970s’ “outsider culture”, or is it rather largely a product of imagination? Furthermore, can authentic outsider culture exist today at all, both ideologically and economically? What are the possible scenarios of “opting out” of the official culture in a country like Lithuania? Med tem, ko sodobna kultura postaja zmeraj bolj usmerjena v projektno delo, pridobivanje subvencij ter v povezovanjem z močnimi institucijami in njihovimi agendami, se pojavlja tudi potreba in želja po bolj alternativnih oblikah kulture. Že več let lahko v Litvi zaznamo tendenco, izogibanja urbanemu okolju in seljenja umetniških centrov in dejavnosti na periferijo. Vzpostavljanje takšnih neodvisnih umetniških skupnosti, centrov, delno-fiktivnih zaprtih organizacij ter celo oddaljenih družinskih struktur, je trenutno še dokaj slabo dokumentirano in raziskano. A morda doživljamo reinkarnacijo alternativne kulture šestdesetih in sedemdesetih let, ali pa se nam v večji meri to zgolj dozdeva? A lahko avtentična alternativna kultura dan danes – tako ideološko kot ekonomsko – sploh še obstaja? Kakšne so sploh realne možnosti izstopa iz uradne kulture v državi kot je Litva? Produkcija / Production: IRZU, Moderna galerija, ŠKUC, Projekt BOKS Arthur Flexer se ukvarja s tem, kako naučiti računalnike poslušati glasbo. Njegovo raziskovalno delo zajema metode strojnega učenja, prepoznavanja vzorcev in inteligentnega procesiranja glasbe. Kot raziskovalec projektni menedžer deluje v okviru skupine za inteligentno glasbeno procesiranje in strojno učenje na avstrijskem raziskovalnem inštitutu za umetno inteligenco (ÖFAI) na Dunaju. Flexer ima doktorat iz psihologije, z Univerze na Dunaju. Je avtor in soavtor več kot petdesetih znanstvenih publikacij. Arthur Flexer works on enabling computers to listen to music. Therefore his research interests include machine learning, pattern recognition, and intelligent music processing. He is a senior researcher and project manager at the Intelligent Music Processing and Machine Learning Group at the Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Vienna. Flexer has a PhD in psychology from the University of Vienna and is author and co-author of more than fifty scientific publications. How Computers Listen Presentation to Music Arthur Flexer Predavanje AT Kako raËunalniki poslušajo glasbo www.ofai.at Še pred desetimi ali dvajsetimi leti so povprečni ljubitelji glasbe posedovali okoli nekaj tisoč vinilnih ali CD plošč, lokalne prodajalne plošč pa so bile glavni dobavitelj glasbenih medijev. Danes je na milijone skladb vsakomur dostopnih preko svetovnega spleta po zelo nizki ceni ali celo brezplačno. Kako lahko torej ob vsej tej ponudbi oboževalci glasbe danes najdejo glasbo, ki jim je všeč? Področje „Music Information Retrieval“ (ekstrakcija glasbenih informacij) je nova interdisciplinarna znanstvena veda, katere cilj je, naučiti računalnike poslušanja glasbe. Če se takšno (strojno) „razumevanje“ glasbe lahko dovolj približa človeški percepciji glasbe, potem računalniki lahko priporočajo glasbo ljudem ter jim pomagajo pri iskanju / odkrivanju glasbe, ki sovpada s posameznikovim individualnim glasbenim okusom. Predavanje bo podalo pregled nad tehnikami strojne percepcije glasbe ter predstavilo aplikacijo za glasbeno priporočanje, ki so jo raziskovalci ÖFAI razvili v sodelovanju z avstrijsko radijsko postajo FM4 - www.soundpark.at. Produkcija / Production: IRZU, Moderna galerija About ten or twenty years ago a music enthusiast was owner of maybe a few thousand vinyl or CD albums and a local record dealer the main supplier of music media. Today millions of songs are available via Internet for everyone at very low or even no cost at all. But how can music lovers find what they like in this ever increasing offer? Music Information Retrieval is a new interdisciplinary science that aims at enabling computers to listen to music. If such music “understanding” sufficiently mimics human perception of music, computers are able to recommend songs to users and help them find and discover the music they like in this ever growing supply of digital media. This talk gives an overview of how computers are able to listen to music and presents a music recommendation service that has been developed together with the Austrian radio station FM4 (www.soundpark.at). Kurator, zvočni/interdisciplinarni umetnik, esejist in umetnostni kritik. Philippe Franck (Belgija) je direktor in ustanovitelj organizacije Transcultures (od 1996), ki je center za elektronske in zvočne umetnosti s trenutnim sedežem v Monsu, Belgija. Od leta 2003 letno organizira festival zvočnih umetnosti City Sonic v Monsu od 2005 pa bienalni festival digitalnih in elektronskih umetnosti Les Transnumériques, ki se dogaja na različnih lokacijah po Belgiji in Franciji. Kuriral je veliko zvočnih / intermedijskih / interdisciplinarnih razstav, dogodkov in festivalov v Franciji, Belgiji in v drugih državah. Poučuje digitalno umetnost na bruseljski umetniški šoli La Cambre ter redno publicira tekste na te teme. Curator, sound/interdisciplinary artist, essayist and art critic, Philippe Franck (Belgium) is the director and founder of Transcultures (since 1996), Centre for electronic and sound cultures now based in Mons, Belgium. He launched City Sonic, sound art festival in Mons in 2003 and Les Transnumériques, digital arts & electronic cultures biennial in 2005 (several cities in Belgium and in France). He has curated many sound/ multimedia/interdisciplinary exhibitions, events and festivals in Belgium, France and abroad. He also teaches on digital arts in the Brussels Art School of La Cambre and writes regularly on those topics. Singular Transcultures Presentation Looking for New Ways to Philippe Franck a.k.a. Survive! Paradise Now Predavanje Singularna med-kulturnost išËe nove naËine preživetja Phillipe Franck bo predstavil interdisciplinarni center za elektronske in zvočne umetnosti v Monsu, Belgija. Obrazložil bo njegov trans/ med-kulturni pristop povezovanja različnih umetniških disciplin z digitalnimi tehnologijami. Posebni poudarek bo na zvočni umetnosti kot med-disciplinarno povezavo (festival City Sonic). Odprl bo definicijo digitalne/inter/medijske kulture/umetnosti, ki jo reprezentira med drugim skozi festivalsko platformo „Les Transnumériques“ in obrazložil potrebo po grajenju različnih omežij za produkcijo in disseminacijo. V drugem delu prispevka bo preizpraševal možnosti povezovanja manjših „alternativnih“ neprofitnih kulturnih organizacij z večjimi inštitucijami, brez da se koncepti manjših pri tem razblinijo ali pa jih večje pogoltnejo. Kako lahko takšen med-kulturen in neodvisen (od česa sploh?) pristop preživi v sistemu kjer dominira konformistična in zabavna kultura. Je „alternativna“ oblika med-umetnosti ali med-kulture sploh mogoča in obstojna v trenutni ekonomsko-politični situaciji? Kako se lahko borimo za singularnosti in kako lahko z omejenimi sredstvi dosežemo občinstvo? Kako se je razvila „kultura menjave“ vse od let kiber-utopije? Performans BE www.transcultures.be / www.citysonic.be www.transnumeriques.be Philippe Franck will start with a short presentation of his interdisciplinary Centre for electronic and sound culture,(in Mons, Belgium) explaining his transcultural/prospective approach connecting various art disciplines to the digital technologies, with a focus on sound as an interdisciplinary link (with the sound art festival City Sonic), an open definition of digital/inter/media culture/arts (represented among other events, with Transcultures’ nomadic festival-platform Les Transnumériques) and the need to build valid production/diffusion/creation networks. Another part of his intervention will question how small “alternative” non profit cultural organizations can connect with bigger institutions without being soon disintegrated or integrated. How can such a transcultural and “independent” (but from what exactly?) approach can survive in a growing conformist entertainment culture? Is an “alternative” form of inter-arts and trans-cultures still possible and durable in the current economical-political conditions? How can we fight for singularities and reach the audience with limited means? How has the “culture of exchange” evolved since the cyber utopian years? Performance City Sonic Mix Dj set zvočne umetnosti. Paradise Now, tans-zvočni montažer, meša selekcijo skladb (zvočna poezija, terenski posnetki, elektronske obdelave, radiofonska umetnost, glasba na margini...), v produkciji festivala City Sonic (Mons-Belgija), kot živ uvod v poetično raznolikost današnje zvočne umetnosti.

Performance Thomas Grill Performans AT Glasbena improvizacija in raËunalniki: in-time performans Ena izmed bolj očitnih razlik med komponirano in improvizirano glasbo je ta, da se slednja odvija v realnem času, medtem, ko so deli prve konstruirani izven realnega časa. Ta trditev naj ne bi zanikala posluževanja kompozicijskih strategij pri improvizirani glasbi, temveč zgolj izpostavila, da je časovni (in-time) aspekt improvizacije oz. način, kako je improvizacijska praksa vključena v koncept časovnosti, eden njenih ključnih karakteristik. Temporalne lastnosti strojne percepcije in reakcije se v vseh aspektih razlikujejo od človeških. V okviru računalniške improvizacije je potrebno te razlike upoštevati/vračunati, in sicer, tako pri konstrukciji vmesnika kot pri konstrukciji inštrumenta. V predstavitvi bom pokazal, kako ti problemi vplivajo na moje umetniško in raziskovalno delo. Rojen 1972 v Avstriji. Deluje v polju zvočne in intermedijske umetnosti. Njegova dela se manifestirajo v oblikah interaktivnih in med-mrežnih avdio-vizualnih instalacij, fotografij, instrumentalnih kompozicij in elektro-akustične skupinske improvizacije. Kompozicije in instalacije je predstavil na mnogih mednarodnih festivalih. Kot izvajalec sodobne komponirane glasbe ter strukturiranih in prostih improvizacij ima za sabo več kot 150 javnih nastopov. Redno sodeluje z renomiranimi umetniki s podrocja glasbe, gledališča in videa. Njegovo znanstveno-raziskovalno delo se osredotoča na področje strojnega poslušanja in učenja. Razvija komercialno in odprto-kodno programsko opremo, elektronske inštrumente ter sisteme interaktivnih medijev. Koncipira in izvaja multi-medijske instalacije, zvočni inženiring, mastering in CD / DVD produkcije. Študira tehnično fiziko v Linzu. Kasneje opravlja univerzitetni tečaj računalniške glasbe in elektronskih medijev. Na Dunaju opravi magistrski študij: Interaktivni elektronski inštrumenti. Od 2003 predava na univerzi za aplikativne umetnosti in na Univerzi za glasbo in scenske umetnosti na Dunaju. Je znanstveni sodelavec na OFAI (Avstrijski raziskovalni inštitut za umetno inteligenco). Publicira, predava in vodi delavnice na različnih mednarodnih institucijah in simpozijih. Od 2004 je so-kurator koncertne serije sodobne eksperimentalne glasbe: „Neue Musik in St. Ruprecht“ na Dunaju. Živi in dela med Dunajem (Avstrija) in Kopenhagnom (Danska). grrrr.org One of the perhaps more obvious differences between composed and improvised music is the fact that the latter unfolds in real-time, whereas parts of the former is constructed outside of real-time. This is not to say, however, that improvised music is void of compositional strategies, only that the in-time aspect of improvisation - i.e. the way that the practice of improvisation is embedded in time - is one of its important and significant features. Furthermore are the temporal properties of a machine in every respect different from those of a human, something which the computer improviser has to address either in the ways the interface is constructed, or in the ways that the computer instruments are designed (or both). In my presentation I will show how these issues influence both my artistic practice and my research. Thomas Grill (digital sounds) and Matija Schellander (double bass) have both been working in experimental and improvised music for most diverse projects, frequently cross-bordering artistic fields. Although both are founding members of the Low Frequency Orchestra, this is their first duo performance. Both musicians having extensively researched the specifics of their respective instruments, this encounter will focus on a common Thomas Grill (digitalni zvoki) in Matija Schellander grammar within free improvisation - thus allowing for a (Kontrabas) delujeta na področju eksperimentalne glasbe detailed exploration of similarities and contrasts in sonic ter na inter-disciplinarnih umetniških področjih.

Sommerer & prof. Mignonneau. Njegovo raziskovalno delo je usmerjeno v razvoj „oprijemljivih“ oz. fizikalnih uporabniških vmesnikov ter novih konceptov interakcij človek-računalnik (HCI), ki temeljijo na odprto-kodnih orodjih za kreativno produkcijo. Kot soustanovitelj podjetja „Reactable Systems“ (http://www.reactable.com/) iz Barcelone, je zaslužen za razvoj interakcijske tehnologije sistema Reactable, ki je lep primer glasbenega instrumenta z „oprijemljivim“ uporabniškim vmesnikom. Je avtor odprto-kodnega interakcijskega sistema reacTIVision (http://reactivision.sourceforge.net/), prav tako kot sorodnega protokola TUIO (http://www.tuio.org/), na osnovi katerega je realiziranih veliko fizikalnih namiznih aplikacij. Martin Kaltenbrunner is currently Professor for Interface Culture (http://www.interface.ufg.ac.at/) at the University of Art and Industrial Design in Linz, appointed to act for Prof. Sommerer & Prof. Mignonneau during their sabbatical leave. His research concentrates on tangible user interfaces and the development of novel human computer interaction concepts within open tools for creative production. As co-founder of Reactable Systems (http://www.reactable.com/) in Barcelona he had been mainly working on the interaction design of the Reactable - an electronic musical instrument with a tangible user interface. He is author of the open source tangible interaction framework reacTIVision (http://reactivision. sourceforge.net/) and the related TUIO protocol (http:// www.tuio.org/), which have been widely adopted for the realization of tangible tabletop applications.

Že od l. 1993 deluje tudi v okrilju znamenite organizacije za konkretno glasbo (musique concrete) Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) v Parizu. Sprva se je konkretne glasbe lotil sam, kasneje pa se med l. 1989 in 2002 izobraževal na CFMI na univerzi v Lyonu, kjer danes uči, prireja delavnice o konkretni glasbi, vlogi ojačevalcev zvoka in snemanju zvoka tako s praktične, kot teoretske ravni. Na teoretski ravni je Marchetti v Franciji objavil kar nekaj knjig in esejev, najbolj odmevna pa je njegova študija ustvarjanja skladatelja Michela Chiona. Pred leti je ustanovil lasten studio, hkrati pa kot glasbenik- improvizator v sistem povezanih ojačevalcev zvoka, mikrofonov, magnetofonskega traku sodeluje s številnimi ustvarjalci in kolektivi. Marchetti je eden pomembnih ustvarjalcev, ki je dediščino konkretne glasbe prestavil iz institucionalnega miljeja na raven improvizirane glasbe, pa čeprav snuje na obeh ravneh hkrati. French musician, composer, improviser, teacher, theoretician, poet and writer Lionel Marchetti is an heir to the French school of musique concrète developed under the influence of its pioneer Pierre Schaeffer. Since 1993 he has also been involved with Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM), the widely known organisation for musique concrète in Paris. Initially, he was self-taught, then studied at the CFMI of the University of Lyon between 1989 and 2002, where he continues to teach, hold workshops on musique concrète, the role of sound amplifiers and sound recording, covering both practical and theoretical aspects. Marchetti has published several theoretical books and essays in France, with his study of the work of composer Michel Chion receiving the widest recognition. Some years ago he set up his own studio and he continues to collaborate with numerous artists and collectives as a musician and improviser, working with sound amplifiers, microphones and magnetic tape. Marchetti is one of the major composers to have taken musique concrète out of institutions into the realm of improvised music, while continuing to work on both levels.

Kot Voice Crack sta utelesila lasten koncept tvorjenja elektronske glasbe v primežu živega improviziranja, kasneje poimenovan ‘cracked everyday electronics’. Na sledi tradicije Johna Cagea in zgodnjih elektronskih eksperimentatorjev tipa Morphogenesis, Hugh Davies in drugih, sta z ozvočevanjem notranjih mehanizmov vplivala na številne današnje ustvarjalce v polju sodobne elektro-akustične in elektronske glasbe. Norbert Möslang deluje kot solist, bodisi kot improvizator v različnih zasedbah. Ob tem razstavlja svoje slike po švicarskih galerijah, z zvočnimi instalacijami pa je gostoval širšem po svetu. Kot glasbenik nastopa v Evropi, ZDA, Avstraliji in na Japonskem. Since the late 1970s Swiss composer, improviser, visual and sound artist Norbert Möslang has been creating free improvised music together with Andy Guhl, following the contemporary tradition of such music on the Old Continent which dates back to the 1960s. As Voice Crack, the duo embodied their own concept of creating electronic music in a live improvisation set-up, which they later called ‘cracked everyday electronics’. Following the tradition of John Cage and early electronic experimenters like Morphogenesis, Hugh Davies and others, their amplifying of inner mechanisms has influenced many contemporary artists working in electro-acoustic and electronic music. Norbert Möslang works as a solo artist and improviser in different ensembles. He has also exhibited his paintings in various Swiss galleries, while his sound installations have taken him around the world. He performs as a musician in Europe, the USA, Australia and Japan.

Clare. Pred začetkom študija na Univerzi Ulster v Jordanstownu, kjer 2001 diplomira, igra v različnih indie-rock skupinah. 2009 zaključi doktorat na Univerzi v Huddersfieldu, mentorja: Pierre Alexandre Tremblay and Bryn Harrison. Trenutno na isti univerzi deluje kot raziskovalec in pedagog v okviru častne delovne štipendije, poučuje pa tudi na Univerzi v Leedsu. V svoji glasbi se ukvarja z razmerji med minimalnimi procesi transformacije in avtonomnega razraščanja, ki jih realizira s koncepti kot so rekurzija, histereza, samo-podobnost, klastri v mikrotonalnosti, teorija kaosa, interaktivnost. Scott je tudi improvizator (violončelo, elektronika) in igra v pop/altfolk duu „Phantom Dog Beneath the Moon“. Pri izvedbi njegovih zadnjih performansov so sodelovali: Sebastian Berweck, Jonathan Sage, Metapraxis Ensemble, Crash Ensemble, Trio Scordatura in občinstvo v okviru projekta Analogous Projects, ki ga je realiziral na simpoziju ICMC 2010 v New Yorku. Scott McLaughlin was born in Co. Clare in 1975. He was playing in indie-rock bands until his mid-twenties, then studied music at the University of Ulster at Jordanstown where he gained a BMus degree in 2001. He completed a PhD at the University of Huddersfield with Pierre Alexandre Tremblay and Bryn Harrison in 2009. Currently he is an Honorary Visiting Research Fellow at Huddersfield, teaching both there and at the University of Leeds. His music is concerned with relationships between minimal processes of transformation and proliferation: ideas of recursion, hysteresis, self-similarity, clustermicrotonality, chaos/complexity theory, interactivity. Scott is also an improviser (cello or live electronics), and plays in the pop/alt-folk duo Phantom Dog Beneath the Moon. Recent performances have been given by Sebastian Berweck, Jonathan Sage, Metapraxis Ensemble, Crash Ensemble, Trio Scordatura, and the public attendees at Analogous Projects’ ICMC 2010 event in New York. Presentation / Performance SpectralConway Scott McLaughlin Whitewater Predavanje Performans UK www2.hud.ac.uk SpectralConway je spektralna implementacija celularnih avtomatov (CA) oz. natančneje, igre „Game of Life“ Johna Conwaya. Projekt zavrača tradicionalno paradigmo kvantizirane mreže celularnih avtomatov v prid frekvenčnemu kontinuumu. Ker uporabljamo CA za manipulacijo nepredvidljivih mešanic vhodnih zvokov, ki se lahko pojavljajo paralelno ali v seriji, je potreben pristop v frekvenčni domeni. V predavanju bodo predstavljeni razlogi za takšen pristop in koncept na katerem temelji algoritem. Implementacija bo postavljena v kontekst trenutnega razvoja s področja celularnih avtomatov, predstavljena pa bo tudi umetniška manifestacija projekta: skladba Whitewater, ki bo v sodelovanju s saksofonistom Markom Karlovčcem izvedena na festivalu. Produkcija / Production: IRZU, Moderna galerija, ŠKUC SpectralConway is a spectral implementation of cellular automata (CA), specifically, John Conway’s Game of Life (GoL). The process eschews the traditional quantised grid paradigm of the CA in favour of a frequency continuum. A frequencial approach is necessary because we use the CA to effect a rough and unpredictable crossbreeding between input sounds; which may be simultaneous or sequential. This presentation outlines the reasons for taking this approach, the concept behind the algorithm, contextualises this approach within new developments in CA, and assesses the algorithm in the context of the piece Whitewater, which will be performed later in the festival.

Umetniki tako prehajajo iz enega sistema v drugega, med tem ko so neodvisne – s strani umetnikov inicirane – institucije/iniciative zelo redke. Poleg tega je v polju sodobne umetnosti zaznaven tudi primanjkljaj zainteresirane javnosti/publike, saj le-to običajno sestavljajo zgolj kulturni delavci. V takšnem kontekstu se vzpostavlja nova organizacija (otvoritev: Marec, 2011), in sicer v majhnem mestecu Nida na litvanski obali. Nida Art Colony (www.colony. lt) je le oddelek velike institucije: Umetniške Akademije Vilna, vendar ima svoje lastne namene in strategijo razvoja. Glavna vprašanja, ki bodo načeta v prezentaciji so naslednja: Kako lahko interdisciplinarne umetniške prakse pritegnejo novo občinstvo?; Kako lahko mednarodna organizacij vzpostavi program namenjen mednarodnemu občinstvu in kako lahko hkrati preživi v ruralnem okolju ter ohrani stik z lokalno skupnostjo? Prav tako bodo načete teme ekologije in ekonomije trajnostnega razvoja v post-sovjetskem in post-kriznem okolju. Lithuania could be described as one of the countries in postcommunist block with inherited soviet art institutional system which is still quite strong. Western concept of art institution has arrived in Lithuania in the beginning of 1990s and has established as well. Artists are fluctuating from one system to another, whereas self-started (artist-run) initiatives are very rare. Moreover, contemporary art suffers from the lack of the audience which is usually the same people – mainly art professionals. In such a context a new organization is being opened (2011 March) in Nida which is a very small resort on Baltic Sea coast in Lithuania. Nida Art Colony (www.colony.lt) is a department of the big institution (Vilnius Academy of Arts), however it has its own goals and strategy. The main questions in the presentation and discussion are how interdisciplinary art practices could bring new audience to “art” events and how an international art institution could set-up its program for international audience and at the same survive in rural settings with a good relationship to community. The topics of ecologies Produkcija / Production: and economies of sustainable survival in post-soviet and postIRZU, Moderna galerija, Projekt BOKS crisis environment are going to be touched as well. Agoston deluje na področju zvoka, tako v tradicionalnem kot v eksperimentalnem smislu, ter na področju vizualne umetnosti, kjer se poslužuje odprto-kodnih orodij. Zanimajo ga koncepti interakcije, eksperimentalnih medijev, obdelave signala, in zvočne umetnosti. Ukvarja se z umetniškimi instalacijami v katere vključuje dinamične sisteme, postavlja eksperimentalne spletne strani in sestavlja vmesnike za avdio-vizualne performanse. V zadnjem času raziskuje možnosti ubikvitarnega računalništva ter s tem povezanih interakcijskih metod. Njegova dela so bila med drugim razstavljena v Nemčiji, Italiji, Poljski in v Kunsthalle v Budimpešti. Nastopil je na festivalih kot so: Sziget Festival, Making New Waves Festival, Pixelache Festival Helsinki, Piksel Festival Bergen, Audio Art Festival, Krakow, itd. Redno vodi delavnice interakcijskih tehnik, zvočnega dizajna ter programskega jezika PD – Pure Data. Agoston mainly works with sound (traditional and experimental) and image (still and motion) using free and opensource tools. He has a deep interest in interaction design, experimental media, signal processing and sound art. He usually creates dynamic systems for installations, doing experimental websites, and build interfaces for audiovisual live performances. Recently his focus of interest turned into the directions of ubiquituous computing, device and object related human interactions. His works have been exhibited in Germany, Italy, Poland, and in the Kunsthalle Budapest, Hungary among others. He performed at the Sziget Festival, the Making New Waves Festival, and at the Pixelache Festival, Helsinki, Piksel Festival, Bergen, Audio Art Festival, Krakow among others. Agoston regularly gives workshops on the Pure Data programming language, Interaction- and Sound Design. Performance “Elements” by Binaura Agoston Nagy Performans HU binaura.net/stc Performans se osredotoča na povezavo med prostorskim gibanjem in različnimi zvočnimi karakteristikami. Na mobilnem telefonu, ki ga performer uporablja kot glasbeni inštrument je nameščena posebna programska oprema za generiranje zvoka, ki temelji na odprtokodnem orodju Pure Data. V mobilniku vgrajeni senzorji za merjenje pospeška in gravitacije upravljajo zvočne parametre. Kombinacija nenehno spreminjajočih se algoritmičnih vzorcev, ter minimalističnih zvokov predstavlja osnovo za raziskovanje prostorsko zvočne de-konstrukcije. Digitalna naprava je osrednji element v The performance is focusing on connections between mreži analogne distorzije in efektnih procesorjev. spatial movement and different sound characteristics. A custom built sound generating program (made with the open source tool Pure Data) is running on a smart phone which is the main controller for the setup. Gravity sensors and accelerometer data is used for controlling the sound parameters. Ever-changing, algorithmic patterns combined with minimalistic, synthetized glitchy bleeps and sounds are the basis for the exploration of spatial sonic deconstruction. The digital device is acting as an element in a network of analogue distortion and fx pedals.

Presentation Jaime Oliver Predavanje PE/US www.jaimeoliver.pe Skladbe serije Silent Construction, se nanašajo na komponiranje inštrumenta samega. Komponiranje skladbe lahko v tem primeru razumemo torej kot komponiranje inštrumenta. Akt konstruiranja inštrumenta pomešamo z aktom komponiranja. Inštrumenti so komponirani: so kulturni konstrukti. Proces kompozicije ne interpretiramo striktno kot oblikovanje in organizacijo zvoka, temveč tudi kot kompozicijo okolja ali prostora, ki zavzame konkretno formo šele s performativnim aktom. Izbira strategij zajemanja informacij in mapiranja podatkov so kompozicijski akti. Skladbe serije Silent Construction so komponirani inštrumenti. Obstaja celostna struktura, ki določa kako se instrumenti ter njihove izrazne možnosti spreminjajo skozi čas. V trenutku performansa je večina akcij nedoločena. Včasih je to celo posledica fizikalnih karakteristik samega inštrumenta, zmeraj pa je zvočni rezultat pogojen z improvizacijskimi variacijami, gestami in trenutnimi odločitvami. Silent Construction Series Serija “Silent Construction” The pieces of the Silent Construction Series are the composition of instruments; that is, composing the piece is composing the instrument. The action of lutherie or instrument building is confused with the act of composition. Instruments are composed: they are cultural constructs. The compositional process is not strictly the design and organization of sounds, but is, or ought to be, a composition of environments or sound spaces that are brought to a concrete morphology by performance gestures. The choice of tracking strategy and sound mappings are compositional acts. The Silent Construction pieces are composed instruments. Although there is an overall structure that determines how the instruments change over time and therefore their performative possibilities. In the actual performance, a great deal is undetermined, sometimes as a feature of the instrument’s Produkcija / Production: behavior design and always due to small or improvisatory Aksioma, ŠKUC, Moderna galerija variations in the performers gestures and choices. Preko serije FM in spletnih oddajanj, ter formiranja platforme radioCona, projekt misli rabo prostora radijskih frekvenc v umetniškem in širšem družbenem kontekstu, ter s produkcijo, sodelovanji in predstavitvami sobnih umetniških projektov skozi radiofonično in spletno distribucijo. Delo legalno dostopa do radijskega frekvenčnega prostora in se vzpostavi občasno, za krajši časovni interval. Prav v občasni projektni vzpostavitvi in mobilnosti studia je tudi srčika delovanja projekta. Trajnost projekta je v arhiviranju materiala v različnih avdio protokolih (podcasti, MP3, zvočne knjige avdiobook), ki so shranjeni in distribuirani na spletnem mestu radioCona. Vsebino določajo in dopoljnjujejo tudi spremljevalni dogodki; pogovori, okrogle mize in razstavna vodstva. Pomemben del je lastna produkcija radio art in sound art projektov. Oddajanje v živo Live Streaming radioCona SLO Temporary project radio for contemporary arts, is a platform for art and discursive projects initiated by Irena Pivka and Brane Zorman, produced by CONA.

He was the first Director of Research at the Sonic Arts Research Centre and is currently Director of Education at the School of Music and Sonic Arts, Queen’s University Belfast. Performans UK www.sarc.qub.ac.uk With a series of FM and internet broadcasts and with the formation of the radioCona platform, the project examines the use of radio frequency space in the artistic as well as wider social context with productions, colaborations and presentations of contemporary art projects through radio-phonic and internet distribution. The work has legal access to the radio frequency space and constitutes itself temporarily, for a short period of time. The core of the project’s functioning is precisely in the project’s periodicity and the mobility of the studio. The project finds its permanence in the archiving of materials in different audio protocols (podcasts, MP3, audiobooks), which are documented and distributed at the radioCona website. Its contents are defined and complemented with accompanying events: discussions, roundtables, and exhibition tours. Production of radio art and sound art projects is another important aspect of radioCona’s activities. Cipher Series: On piano Performans temelji na seriji grafičnih partitur, ki delujejo, kot slike (tableaux) za improvizirano glasbo. Z uporabo preparacij, razširjenih tehnik, elektronike in „inštrumentalnih parazitov“ raziskuje izrazni potencial klavirja in zagotavlja dostop do vseh dimenzij resonanc, artikulacij in zvočnih barv. The performance is based on a series of graphic scores which act as tableaux for improvised music. The potential of the piano is explored through the use of preparation, extended techniques, electronics and “instrumental parasites” with the aim of rendering its multiple dimensions of resonance, articulation and timbre. Current Research at the Presentation Sonic Arts Research Centre Predavanje The presentation will introduce current research conducted at the Sonic Arts Research Centre at Queen’s University Belfast in the areas of interaction design, signal processing Raziskovalni projekti na Sonic Arts Research and creative practice with a particular focus on recent work Centru in the area of network performance. Predstavljeni bodo aktualni projekti s področja oblikovanja interakcije, obdelave signala in kreativnih praks, ki potekajo v okviru raziskovalni dejavnosti “Sonic Arts Research Centra” na Queen’s University v Belfastu. Poseben poudarek Produkcija / Production: bo na projektih s področja medmrežnega performansa. IRZU, Cankarjev dom, Moderna galerija Mednarodna umetnica Jodi Rose je koordinatorica in so-kuratorica projekta TRACES, ki ga je inicira v okviru organizacije Transcultures iz Belgije. Rose se že vrsto let ukvarja s projektom Singing Bridges, pri katerem z ojačevanjem vibracij mostov gradi urbane zvočne skulpture. Poslužuje se nomadskega načina umetniškega delovanja. Sodeluje z umetniki, raziskovalci, arhitekti in kuratorji v mednarodnem prostoru, pri čemer sama velikrat deluje kot vezni člen, ki povezuje partnerje v projektu TRACES. Rose producira zvočne in konceptualne intervencije v različnih okoljih in deluje v kontekstu urbanih prostorov, zvoka, filozofije, medijev, performansa in tehnologije. Na osnovi sodelovanj z lokalnimi skupnostmi umetniških delavcev, soustvarja unikatne efemerne performanse, improvizacije in glasbena dela, ki so prilagojena specifičnemu kontekstu vsake posamezne lokacije. Njena dela so bila izvedena in razstavljena na mnogih mednarodnih festivalih. Med pomembnejšimi so: Glasgow International, ISEA, Pixelache, Mal au Pixel, European Sound Delta, Dragonfly, CitySonics, Sonorama, Break 2.3, Transit Lounge, Electrofringe in Liquid Architecture. Skozi transmisije in instalacije nadaljuje z raziskovanjem filozofskih in fizikalnih aspektov vibracij, pri čemer razvija glasbeni vmesnik za mostovne inštrumente, koncerte na lokacijah, meta-državo „Bridgeland“, ki bi mostove po vsem svetu združila v globalno simfonijo. Predavanje Transnational artist Jodi Rose is the coordinator and co-curator of TRACES, which she initiated with Transcultures and partners. Rose is creator of Singing Bridges, an urban sonic sculpture using the cables of bridges as instruments on a global scale. Developing connections through her nomadic art practice collaborating with artists, researchers, architects and curators internationally, Rose acts as the bridge linking partners in TRACES exchange. Rose produces sonic and conceptual interventions in diverse environments, working in the context of urban spaces, sound, philosophy, media, performance and technology. Tracing her engagement with local cultural practitioners and communities, she co-creates unique ephemeral, performance, improvisation and musical works adapted to the conditions of each specific location and concept. Her works have been produced, broadcast, exhibited and performed in arts festivals internationally, including Glasgow International, ISEA, Pixelache, Mal au Pixel, European Sound Delta, Dragonfly, CitySonics, Sonorama, Break 2.3, Transit Lounge, Electrofringe & Liquid Architecture. Rose continues to explore philosophical and musical aspects of cable vibrations through transmissions and installations, developing a musical interface for bridge instruments, on-site concerts, meta-nation ‘Bridgeland’ and linking bridges all over the world in the Global Bridge Symphony. Presentation TRACES Jodi Rose AU Jodi Rose discusses the development and philosophy www.singingbridges.net welcometobridgeland.com Jodi Rose bo predstavila razvoj in filozofijo projekta TRACES, v razmerju do dragocene narave sodobne kulture in lokalno-globalnega konteksta projekta. V času kulturnih sprememb, migracij in raznolikosti, so se umetniki in kuratorji prisiljeni prilagoditi nomadskemu načinu delovanja ter se posluževati inovativnih strategij upora, da bi v svojem poklicu lahko preživeli. Skozi utelešene raziskave, dialog in produkcijo bo projekt TRACES analiziral ideje medkulturnega dialoga, med-evropske kulturne mobilnosti. Kako dialog in umetniške raziskave postanejo orodja za adaptacijo in transformacijo? Projekt vzpodbuja kontinuirano, kritično in kreativno izmenjavo med kulturnimi delavci. TRACES zagotavlja pretok in mobilnost kulturnih migrantov s čimer vzorči, inficira in prenaša posamezne segmente kulture iz različnih lokalnih kontekstov. of TRACES in relation to the precarious nature of contemporary culture and the global/local contexts of the project. In this time of cultural mutation, migration and diversity, artists and curators are required to embrace a culturally nomadic professional practice and innovative strategies of cultural resistance if we are to survive. TRACES takes a personal approach to ideas of intercultural dialogue and trans-european cultural mobility through embodied research, conversation and creation. How do conversation and artistic research become adaptive and transformative tools? Encouraging the ongoing critical and creative exchange between culture professionals, a flux of cultural migrants moving between places; sampling, infecting and transmitting memes of culture. TRACES Symposium Alternative Cultural Interfaces and Technologies of Survival TRACES Simpozij / okrogla miza Alternativni kulturni vmesniki in tehnologije preživetja Tema simpozija oz. okrogle mize bodo inovativne umetniške in praktične strategije upora in preživetja v kulturi, s posebnim poudarkom na vzpostavljanju alternativnih organizacij, struktur in raziskav za kontinuirano produkcijo. Cilj okrogle mize je, da na osnovi naših raznolikih ozadij in izkušenj v lokalnih okoljih artikuliramo metodologije katerih se poslužujemo v praksi ter da delimo znanja z ostalimi kulturnimi delavci in s širšo zainteresirano javnostjo. Preko kolektivnega preizpraševanja, kritičnih debat, mreženjem umetniških in kuratorskih pristopov, bomo orisovali modele delovanja, ki temeljijo na naših praktičnih izkušnjah. Definirali boo procese, reflektirali ter preizpraševali lastne pozicije umetnikov, kuratorjev in raziskovalcev ter ponudili filozofske temelje za tiste, ki želijo izoblikovati nove smeri na področju kulturnega delovanja. Delite vaše izkušnje s področja vzpostavljanja alternativnih institucij in izumljanja novih preživetvenih strategij ter komentirajte lokalne izkušnje ostalih udeležencev mednarodnega simpozija. Debatirajte z nami možnosti vzpostavljanja drugačnih globalnih in lokalnih pogojev kulturnega delovanja. Do katere mere lahko prilagajamo naše sposobnosti in surovine drugačnim oblikam kulturne tehnologije, da si lahko zagotovimo kreativno in umetniško preživetje? Produkcija / Production: IRZU, Moderna galerija, ŠKUC, Projekt BOKS TRACES symposium explores a range of research, artistic and practical strategies for cultural survival and resistance, the challenges of building alternative organisations, and insights for ongoing creation. The discussion seeks to articulate methodologies from diverse backgrounds in order to share and transfer acquired knowledge with interested culture professionals and wider audiences. A collective questioning with a critical debate, networking artistic and curatorial approaches to build working models based on our actual practices and experiences. Looking critically at experiences in building alternative institutions, inventing strategies to survive – and the specific conditions of the local situation and context. The discussion takes place in a spirit of questioning, debate and manifestation, on how to form a different vision of globally connected local cultural conditions, why do we do what we do and how? Adapting our collective skills and resources to other forms of cultural technologies to ensure our creative and artistic survival. Tracing the process and finding methods to transfer our specific understanding into a broader field, while offering philosophical and practical resources to those seeking to build new cultural paths. Martin Rumori je študiral muzikologijo, informatiko in filozofijo v Berlinu in leta 2005 končal magisterij. Od takrat poučuje „zvočno umetnost“ na akademiji za medijske umetnosti v Kölnu (KHM). Trenutno opravlja doktorski študij na Inštitutu za Elektronsko Glasbo in Akustiko, univerze za Glasbo in dramske umetnosti v Gradcu (Avstrija). Ukvarja se z umetniškimi in tehnološkimi implikacijami projekcije in reprodukcije prostorskega zvoka. Pri tem se poslužuje tehnik zvočne interakcije, katere vpleta v kompozicije virtualnih zvočnih okolij. Zanima ga vpliv odprto-kodnih tehnologij na kreativne procese. Martin Rumori studied musicology, computer science and philosophy in Berlin and received his M.A. in 2005. Since then he teaches sound art at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM). At the same time, he is doing his Phd. project at Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics of the University of Music and Dramatic Arts Graz, Austria. His fields of interest include the artistic and technical implications of spatial sound projection and -reproduction, sonic interaction design in audio augmented environments, and the impact of open source techniques on creative processes. Binaural Soundfield Presentation Synthesis Martin Rumori Predavanje DE Sinteza stereo-fonega zvoËnega polja www.rumori.de Namen stereo-fonih posnetkov je simulacija zvočnega okolja, ki poslušalca prestavi v virtualno prostorsko realnost. S pomočjo digitalne obdelave signalov in optičnega sistema za prepoznavanje lokacije uporabnika in sledenje gibanja, lahko sintetiziramo interaktivna stereo-fona zvočna okolja. Sinteza stereo-fonih posnetkov in interaktivnih stereo-fonih prostorov, v kombinaciji z obstoječimi zvočnimi ambienti realnih prostorov, presega aplikacije s področja virtualne realnosti. S pomočjo teh tehnologij lahko ustvarimo platforme za raziskovanje okoljskih zvokov preko utelešenih vmesnikov. Binaural recordings aim at creating a deep impression of aural immersion for the listener. Using signal processing algorithms, it is possible to synthesize binaural soundfields which, combined with a positional tracking system, may be made interactive. Well beyond pure virtual reality applications, the synthesis of binaural recordings and interactive binaural spaces combined with the existing sonic ambiance of the real world provides a promising and vivid playground for exploring environmental sounds via embodied interfaces.

Workshop Hans-Christoph Steiner Delavnica US/AT at.or.at/hans Delavnica bo obravnavala načine grajenja inštrumentov z odprto-kodnim programskim orodjem PD (Pure Data). Inštrumente se bo upravljalo s pomočjo USB HID igralnih kontrolerjev in Arduino/Firmat, s katerimi bomo manipulirali zvok in sliko v realnem času. Na delavnici bodo predstavljeni načini zajemanja podatkov s PD-jem, obdelava teh podatkov ter strategije mapiranja, preko katerih bomo gradili zanimive načine interakcije in performanse. Udeleženci se bodo naučili kako zbrati podatke iz realnega sveta, kako s pomočjo filtrov odstraniti šum od pomenljivih podatkov, ter kako, s tako pridobljenim novim podatkovnim tokom, kontrolirati različne medije. V kolikor bo na voljo dovolj časa bosta predstavljena tudi načina pridobivanje povratne informacije (feedback) z vibracijami ali fizično silo. Delavnica je namenjena tako začetnikom, kot tudi izkušenim uporabnikom PD-ja. Udeleženci naj prinesejo svoje igralne kontrolerje (tablet, joystick, miška, itd.) V začetku delavnice bomo skupaj izvedli instalacijo vse potrebne programske opreme na vaših prenosnikih. Delavnica bo udeležence pripravila za nadaljnje delo na področju avdia, videa, grafike in elektronike. Zaželeno je da udeleženci pristopijo na delavnico s kakšnim konkretnim projektom ali idejo, tako da bodo na koncu, kot rezultat imeli delujočo stvar. Produkcija / Production: Kiberpipa / Zavod K6/4, Moderna galerija This workshop will focus on building instruments using Pd with USB HID game-controllers and Arduino/Firmat to control sound, video, and graphics in real time. It will cover getting data into Pd, turning that data into a usable form, then mapping the data to build engaging interactions and interesting performances. Participants will learn how to get data from the real world, process the data to eliminate noise and ignore unimportant details, then create a data flow that gives interesting control over media. If time permits, force and vibration feedback will be introduced. The workshop is for beginners as well as experienced users, but some experience with Pd is encouraged. Bring in game controllers, tablets, mice, etc. or an Arduino with sensors. Test your device before bringing it to the workshop. You can use your own laptop, the workshop will be preceded with a short installation help session. This course will prepare you for further work in audio, video, graphics or electronics. It will be project based, so bring a project idea to work on. By the end of the workshop, you should have something that works.

V posameznih projektih se ukvarja z enim materialom ali temo, ki jo postavlja v različne kontekste in jo osvetljuje z različnih perspektiv. V kompozicijah uporablja organski zvočni material, ki se že rahlo nagiba proti šumu (noise). V njegovi glasbi najdemo igrive elemente s katerimi raziskuje mejo med sintetičnim in konkretnim zvokom, med digitalnimi in mehanskimi pristopi. Igra solo performanse, pri katerih uporablja programsko orodje SuperColider in vmesnik Mantra. Piše glasbo za akustične inštrumente in računalnike, ter postavlja zvočne instalacije. Od 2002 aktivno razvija kodo za SuperColider, in s tem prispeva k razvoju programa. Organiziral je tudi drug mednarodni SuperColider Simpozij, ki je potekal 2007 v Hagu na Nizoremskem. 2008 je ustanovil skupino TeaTracks, ki se ukvarja z produkcijo mobilnih aplikacij. Eno pomembnejših (Gliss) izdajo leta 2009. Gliss je glasbeni sekvencer namenjem uporabi v realnem času. Deluje na osnovi tresljajev mobilnika, omogoča pa tudi risanje in interpretacijo grafik v obliki glasbe in zvokov na iPhone/iPad napravah. Jan T. is a composer and media artist with an affinity to software design. His work often focuses on one material or subject, which he sets in different contexts and perspectives. The sound material he uses can be described as having an organic character with a tendency of being noisy and crispy. And there are playful elements in his music, which explore the boundaries of synthetic and concrete sound, digital and mechanic approaches. He performs solo with SuperCollider and the Manta interface, writes music for instruments and computer and creates sonic installations. Since 2002 he has been an active SuperCollider (SC) developer, which resulted in many contributions to the software and the organisation of the second international SuperCollider Symposium in The Hague in 2007. In 2008 he founded TeaTracks for the creation of mobile applications, which released Gliss in 2009. Gliss is a tilt controlled and performance oriented sequencer, which lets you draw music and sounds on the iPhone/iPad. Performance Hexagon Jan Trützschler von Falkenstein Hexagon je skladba za solo performerja in računalniške procese (SuperCollider & Manta). Realizirana je s pomočjo visoko-nivojskega parametričnega upravljanja, ki temelji na interpolacijskih samo-organizirajočih nevronskih mrež (SOM). Zvočne teksture so grajene s sintetičnimi in konkretnimi zvoki, ki ustvarjajo večdimenzionalne zvočne prostore. Performans NL/DE falkenst.com In this concert Jan T. is going to perform a solo live set, which includes his piece ‘Hexagon’ for live computer processes (SuperCollider & Manta). Hexagon has been realised with extensive use of higher level parameter control by means of interpolating self-organising maps. It features a mixture of synthetic and concrete sounds to create textures while navigating sonic spaces. Presentation Emerging Possibilities of Mobile Music Applications Predavanje Nove možnosti mobilnih glasbenih aplikacij Zmeraj večja dostopnost zmogljivih in inteligentnih mobilnikov omogoča uporabo glasbenih aplikacij nove generacije. Poleg običajne programske opreme za glasbeno produkcijo v mini formatu, aplikacije takšnih prenosnih naprav omogočajo oblikovanje posebnih glasbenih inštrumentov, s čimer reformirajo koncept poslušanja in kreiranja glasbe. Takšne aplikacije ponujajo interaktivna in re-aktivna glasbena okolja, ki lahko pomešajo običajne vloge skladatelja, producenta, izvajalca in poslušalca glasbe. Verjetno je to tudi priložnost, preko katere bo eksperimentalna glasba prišla v stik z običajnimi uporabniki oz. s širšim občinstvom, saj so aplikacije (eksperimentalni inštrumenti) enostavno dostopne in vsak jih lahko preizkusi na svojem mobilniku. Mobilne naprave omogočajo tudi nov pristop k izvajanju glasbe saj ustvarijo novo raven participacije občinstva med performansom. Jan T. bo v predavanju predstavil pregled svojega dela in idej s tega področja, ter načine kako jih vpleta v svoje kompozicije in instalacije. Produkcija / Production: Aksioma, Moderna galerija The widespread use of powerful smart-phones has introduced a new generation of music applications, which users can have with them at all time. Aside from more conventional music production software in mini format, such applications include dedicated instruments and apps which approach both music making and listening from a different angle. Some of these apps might change the classical roles of composer, performer and listener, or producer and consumer, by offering interactive or reactive musical environments. There might even be a chance to introduce listeners to more experimental forms of music through apps, which they can play with on their devices. On the performative side, mobile devices open up new possibilities for performers and might also allow another level of participation between the audience in the performance. In this talk Jan Trützschler will give an overview of his work and ideas in this field and how it connects to his compositions and installations.

Presentation Richard Widerberg IMPROVe Predavanje SE www.riwid.net Richard Widerberg will talk about the sound workshop Richard Widerberg bo predstavil koncept serije zvočnih delavnic, ki ga je v preteklih letih razvijal skozi različne kontekste. Namen delavnic je praktično delo z vsakdanjimi zvoki in razvoj fokusiranega poslušanja. Delavnice zajemajo različne moduse poslušanja okoljskih zvokov ter načine zbiranja zvočnih objektov in improvizirano reorganiziranje zbranih posnetkov. Cilj delavnic je raziskovanje glasbenih struktur s pomočjo enostavnih zvočnih improvizacij in doseganje višje stopnje zavedanja zvokov, ki nas obdajajo v vsakodnevnih situacijah. Richard bo predstavil enostaven predvajalnik zvočnih zank, ki ga je razvil za delo v okviru delavnic improvizacije. Produkcija / Production: IRZU, Moderna galerija, Projekt BOKS IMPROVe where he is using a workshop method he has been practicing and developing for a few years in various contexts. The focus of the workshop is to work practically with everyday sounds and listening. The workshop involves different modes of listening which ranges from pure listening to one’s surroundings to collecting of sound objects to improvisation with the collected sounds. The essence is to explore different modes of listening to our reality and to be more aware of all the sounds that surrounds us in our daily life. Also, to discuss and explore musical structures through simple musical improvisation with sounds. Richard will also show a simple sound loop player he has been developing and using in his workshops for musical improvisation.
