From Pedro Rebelo’s Blog :: Network Performance issue of Contemporary Music Review Vol.28 Nos 4/5 August/October 2009 Out Now:

This issue of Contemporary Music Review is in itself a network of different materials and approaches which attempt to provide ‘nodal’ views on performance in the network. From the theoretical to the anecdotal, from the score to the historical timeline each article focuses on a particular view of the network, addressing practices which are sometimes new and other times instances of dreams and fantasies of centuries.

Pauline Oliveros at Sonorities Festival of Contemporary Music — Droniphonia with iPHONES, Spatialization, Streaming environments and Multiple Instruments (2009) :: May 16, 2009;7:30 pm :: SARC, Harty Room and the Whitla Hall, Queen’s Unversity, Belfast.

Droniphonia is based on the iPHONE application Srutibox by Henry Lowengard with environmental streams from Locus Sonus. Concept by Pauline Oliveros. Droniphonia has polytonal drones continually morphing timbres, volumes and fundamentals moving in space. Networked musicians (Belfast, Banff and Troy NY) listen to the drones and develop gradually overlapping improvised sounds and phrases - first solo and then between two or three players at a time in a slowly growing density and texture.

Sonic Bridge — over/through the wall/fence at the U.S.-Mexican border; a telematic event :: January 23, 2009; 9:30 pm :: Brown Rice, 4332 N. Kedzie Ave., 1st floor, Chicago, IL.

The U.S. Immigration Policy could change soon, since Obama will be sworn into office shortly as the U.S.’s 44th President. Currently hundreds of miles of wall and fence stretch across the US-Mexico border, and the Bush administration is trying to make sure that the border fence gets extended as quickly as possible — in these final waning days of that lame duck administration.

Sound artists and musicians will be part of a Sonic Bridge, a telematic performance that will run perpendicularly through the U.S.-Mexico border wall/fence, in conjunction with sound artists and musicians who live here in the U.S., Central America, and South America. Performers in remote locations will be able to interact with each other in real time. Continue reading

Telematic Skip, instigated by Dan Godston (CHICAGO - Brown Rice), involves performers who are in remote locations with a live audio and video feed between those locations. The initial plan is to use Skype but this could change to another live medium for communication depending on the circumstances — stay tuned. Telematic Skip will be broadcast live, at live.

Call for Proposals: Live Bits - Art Exploring Real-Time Connectedness :: Deadline: October 31, 2008.

Ars Electronica invites artists and scientists to submit proposals for new and novel ways to connect, in real time, people to people, and people to environments in different physical locations. The goal is to expand and explore meaningful exchanges between remote groups of people.

The one essential requirement for all proposals is live bits: real-time digital information via any network, of any viable quantity, and in any modality. In addition to symmetrical two-way communication, asymmetrical two-way communication and even one-way communication will be considered as long as a live component is present. “Fresh” and “canned” bits, as well as physically transported objects, may also be incorporated.

PINGS springs directly from the geographical distance between two collaborators. Working from their locales Simon Whitehead & Barnaby Oliver explore the physical space between them through rivers and air and a range of other terrains with their own qualities, such as the web, phone, post, and less tangible links of memory and synchronicity. An ongoing project archive is now available on the website. You can subscribe to PINGS as a podcast / RSS 2 feed from the website. And view the exchanges between the two as webpages.
