CONURE (Ambient Noise/US,DE)

Now based in Berlin, Mark Wilson (also of 15 Degrees Below Zero and Rings of Smoke Through the Trees) has been creating ambient noise and other varieties of sound art under the moniker Conure since May of 2000. He has released an extensive catalog of music on Edgetone Records, Connexion Bizarre, Solipsism, Crunch Pod, and others, in addition to touring successfully throughout the US, Canada, and Berlin. Conure has also collaborated and performed with various other sound art, new music, and jazz musicians such as Big City Orchestra, Instagon, Nihil Communication, Rent Romus, CJ Borosque, Phillip Greenlief, and Thomas Park, amonst others. He currently utilizes various microphones, effects pedals, loops, field recordings, and mixer as his main set of tools to create sounds that range from minimal drones to heavily layered walls of feedback and cacophony.

ELEKTRONENGEHIRN (Electroacoustic Computer Music/Berlin)

After Elektronengehirn had started as a sideproject of the industrial outfit Notstandskomitee in 1996, it quickly took on a life of its own. Elektronengehirn is experimental and closely connected to the visual arts. The main feature of this electroacoustic music is that it’s done only with software instead of hardware synthesizers. Malte Steiner, who is the head behind the music, uses Max/MSP, pd and csound, and has played concerts in as many countries as Germany, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, the UK, Cuba, Thailand and the US.

DAVIDLY (Implied Music and Ambient/US, DE)

Muybrige 182 birthday

Todays Google doodle reminds me that I am lucky enough to own all 3 books of Muybridges Human And Animal In Locomotion. His pioneering high speed camera studies of human and animal motion is still an incredible resource for art and animation.

Notstandskomitee concerts and releases

Well, a lot of Notstandskomitee going on in the last couple of days. I remastered faithfully thefirst tape Bohrmaschinenmorde from 1992 and made it available as digital download on Bandcamp, quite Industrial stuff:

On 20. March I will perform at King Kong Club Berlin

!Linear, first interactive media art piece for e-reader

This is one of the first, possibly the first interactive media art piece for e-reader. I am fascinated by the esthetics of the electronic ink which is different from the usual backlit color screens. After several years working with projections this is first of my artworks which needs a proper lighting. It is also interesting to work with and around the inherent limitations like the latency in the response and switching of the screen, complex animations are not possible without flickering.

!Linear (pronaunced nonlinear) is about interactive storytelling from user generated content, a mashup. Pictures are taken and processed from Flickr and their tags are displayed, user can choose from the provided tags how the next image will be searched. The selected tags combined form a sentence and creates with the images a non linear story. Read on at block4.com...
