Live Stage: Experiments on the Notation of Shapes [hk Hong Kong]

ens1.jpgExperiments on the Notation of Shapes by Joao Vasco Paiva :: February 12 - April 4, 2010 :: Opening Reception: February 12; 7:00 - 9:00 pm :: Artist Talk: March 24; 7:00 pm :: Unmeasured Music: March 31; 7.30 pm :: I/O (Input/ Output), 31 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong.

Experiments on the Notation of Shapes by Portuguese artist and Hong Kong resident, Joao Vasco Paiva, is a generative multi-channel video installation where Hong Kong cityscapes are used as coordinates for sound synthesis. Computational translation, footage of urban planning and architectural elements are used as a musical score. In this work, a post-apocalyptic aura consumes the concrete form of the metropolis. Two wall-based projections present Hong Kong cityscapes. The city, its emptiness and its structure are kept in “time images” that solicit contemplation. Continue reading

Lemurs Over Laptopia: On New Performance Interfaces

Lemurs Over Laptopia: Will new performance interfaces rejuvenate live electronic music? asks Thomas Bey William Bailey on Vague Terrain:

For roughly 160 years since Richard Wagner published his Artwork of the Future, Western audio culture has been forced to take sides on the issue of music and its relation to the other arts: should music be just one element in a fully-integrated artistic program, or should ‘absolute music’ unfettered by lyrics (let alone other sensory effects) run the show? … Continue reading

Live Stage: Andrea Parkins [us NYC]

andrea.jpgAndrea Parkins :: February 14, 2010; 10:00 - 11:00 pm :: WKCR - 89.9 in NYC or online.

For her performance on WKCR, Parkins will be playing amplified objects, electronic accordion, and laptop electronics/live processing. Andrea Parkins is a New York-based composer, sound/installation artist and interactive electronics performer internationally acclaimed for her uniquely gestural and textural approach to her electronically-processed accordion and inventive use of customized live sound processing. Together, her laptop electronics and Fender-amped accordion create a sonic language of lush harmonics, noisy concretized disruption, and soaring electronic feedback.

Parkins’ work has been presented in New York at the Whitney Museum of American Art (“Bitstreams” exhibition), The Kitchen (“New Sound/New York”), Diapason, Roulette and Experimental Intermedia; and at contemporary music, sound, and intermedia festivals/venues throughout the US and Europe, and in Latin America and Asia.

How to Wreck a Nice Beach: The Vocoder...

vocoder.jpgHow to Wreck a Nice Beach: The Vocoder from Stalin to Frampton to Bambaataa by Dave Tompkins:

This is the story of how a military device became the robot voice of hip-hop and pop music. Though the vocoder, invented by Bell Labs in 1928, was designed to guard phones from eavesdroppers, it expanded beyond its original purpose and has since become widely used as a voice-altering tool for musicians. It has served both the Pentagon and the roller rink, a double agent of pop and espionage.

In How to Wreck a Nice Beach — from a mis-hearing of the vocoder-rendered phrase “how to recognize speech” — music journalist Dave Tompkins traces the history of electronic voices from Nazi research labs to Stalin’s gulags, from the 1939 World’s Fair to Hiroshima, from Manhattan nightclubs to the Muppets. The result is an amazing chronicle of postwar music and culture, filled with unexpected and surprising encounters. Continue reading
