Jane's Walk Soundscape Concert, a Translocal Performance
May 7 @ 2pm
The NAISA Space #252
Admission by Donation
This special Jane's Walk concert at the NAISA Space features soundscape recordings and compositions using mobile devices by Mitchell Akiyama, Adam Basanta and the duo Rui Chaves/Paul Stapleton.
May 7 Programme:
Thankfully, we now know all by Mitchell Akiyama
A group of volunteers equipped with sound recorders set out earlier in the day to document the soundscape of the neighbouhoods surrounding the Artscape Wychwood Barns. Installed, each recording is played back from a speaker arrayed in correspondence with the relative positions from which each sound was captured.
Montreal, Part I by Adam Basanta
In august 2008, I spent a week in Montréal, occasionally recording my activities as I explored the city for the first time. This work is an attempt at approaching the memories of my time there.
Left and Right by Rui Chaves and Paul Stapleton
Left+Right has been devised for two performers who simultaneously broadcast audio from Belfast and Toronto. Using transmission art as a source for relational dialogue between performers, place and listener. Each performer, "Left" and "Right", supply part of the stereo chain. This app was developed with support of a European Union project called CO-ME-DIA. (http://www.comedia.eu.org/co/comedia-home.html).
Deep Wireless Ensemble performances + Philosophie Zoologique by Jocelyn Robert
May 27 @ 1 PM
The Wychwood Theatre, #176
Admission by Donation, free for students
Join Erin Gee and Jocelyn Robert as your hosts for a matinee featuring performances by the Deep Wireless Ensemble as well as Philosophie Zoologique by Jocelyn Robert - a result of a human being's attempt to be friends with the world and ending up waiting at one end of the line while at the other one a soft machine voice whispers press 9.
Deep Wireless Ensemble performances # 1
May 27 @ 8 PM
+ Bacterial Orchestra by Olle Cornéer/Martin Lübcke
The Wychwood Theatre, #176
$15/$10 student (free for conference registrants)
This year's Deep Wireless Ensemble includes Hank Bull, Erin Gee, Darsha Hewitt and Christopher Stanton who will present two different sets of performances (one each on the 27th and 28th) that each explore the nature of transmission and communication in a live performance context. Also included will be performances of Bacterial Orchestra by Olle Cornéer/MartinLübcke as well as All in Time by Sarah Boothroyd and works commissioned by CBC radio’s Living Out Loud by Victoria Fenner, Mieke Anderson, Julia Krolik/Owen Fernley and Carma Jolly + more.
Olle Cornéer and Martin Lübcke - Bacterial Orchestra: Public Epidemic No. 1
First came Bacterial Orchestra. Now the idea is even escaping the hardware. Enter the new generation: Public Epidemic No 1 (2009). Bacterial Orchestra (2006) is a self-organizing evolutionary musical organism. Public Epidemic No 1 (2009) is a generation of the installation where each cell lives on an Apple iPhone. That way hundreds of people can gather with their iPhones and together create a musical organism. It will evolve organically in the same way as Bacterial Orchestra, but it will also be much more infectious. Go here for a video http://vimeo.com/950292
All in Time by Sarah Boothroyd
Guided by science and science fiction, All In Time traverses the timeless mystery of time itself. This 25-minute work was commissioned by La Muse En Circuit as part of the Luc Ferrari International Broadcast Arts Competition. Special thanks to physics maven Peter Watson; to antique clock collector Georges Royer; to Morgantj and Dokashiteru for providing Creative Commons samples; and to Himan and Melina Brown for permitting the use of CBS Radio Mystery Theatre clips.
Deep Wireless Ensemble performances # 2
May 28 @ 8 PM (different performances than May 27)
+ Philosophie Zoologique by Jocelyn Robert
The Wychwood Theatre, #176
$15/$10 student (free for conference registrants)
This year's Deep Wireless Ensemble includes Hank Bull, Erin Gee, Darsha Hewitt and Christopher Stanton who will present two different sets of performances (one each on the 27th and 28th) that each explore the nature of transmission and communication in a live performance context. Also included will be performances of Philosophie Zoologique by Jocelyn Robert as well as A Disembodied Voice by Colin Black and works commissioned by CBC radio’s Living Out Loud by Victoria Fenner, Mieke Anderson, Julia Krolik/Owen Fernley and Carma Jolly + more.
A Disembodied Voice by Colin Black
The theme of radio and the voices of the dead - or spirits - have emerged time and time again within radio works, but very little radio art work has been developed that utilises 5.1 surround sound production and broadcast techniques. With this work I artistically explore the idea of “A Disembodied Voice In Space,” within the added space or dimension of 5.1 surround sound, as opposed to the monophonic or stereophonic “acoustic frame” that has been chiefly used to date. The work creates an immersive sonic environment that takes the listener inside its constructed sonic world, where the disembodied voice thematically develops the notion of the formless body and instantaneous travel via thought and desire. The voice heard in the work is that of Yanna Black.
Philosophie Zoologique by Jocelyn Robert
Philosophie Zoologique is a typical 21st century product : a bit of this and that, hard to decide, trying to do it all but unable to choose. It is the result of a human being's attempt to be friends with the world and ending up waiting at one end of the line while at the other one a soft machine voice whispers press 9. I would hope it could be some sort of a metling pot hommage to Jean-Baptiste Lamarckw (1744-1829).
