[Nettime-nl] [ STEIM ] Announcement changes in Local Stop concertThursday June 23rd |
Due to illness Tim Perkis will not play the local-stop concert this time. Scot Gresham-Lancaster will perform 3 solo pieces: Functions of Permanent Revolution Sonification of Global Consciousness Martian Time Slip Functions of Permanent Revolution (1984) video by VJ Love This is a mapping of the chronology from Trotsky's "Permanent Revolution" and Wilhelm Reich's "Function of Orgasm". The final storming of the czar's Winter Palace in 1917 is mapped in time scale to the moment of climax described in Reich's work. Sonification of Global Consciousness At the Global Conciousness Project (http://noosphere. princeton.edu) they have been collecting data from a global network of random event generators since August, 1998. The network has grown to about 65 host sites around the world running custom software that reads the output of physical random number generators and records a 200-bit trial sum once every second, continuously over months and years. The data are transmitted over the internet to a server in Princeton, NJ, USA. The network is accessed via the internet and the instantaneous generation of sound or sonificatin of the current state of the network. Martian Time Slip (dedicated to Jim Horton) On the arid colony of Mars the only thing more precious than water may be a ten-year-old schizophrenic boy named Manfred Steiner. For although the UN has slated "anomalous" children for deportation and destruction, other people--especially Supreme Goodmember Arnie Kott of the Water Worker's union--suspect that Manfred's disorder may be a window into the future. In Martian Time-Slip Philip K. Dick uses power politics and extraterrestrial real estate scams, adultery, and murder to penetrate the mysteries of being and time. Manfred sense the entropy of the universe as a inner destruction of the order inherent in all things. All these things are turning to "Gubbish" * Workshop teachers Robert van Heumen and Roddy Schrock will show some of the possibilities of Super Collider and LiSa in a short performance. Ranging from sonic bursts to gregorian chants, from melodic melancholy to funny voices, from the abstract to the concrete. Roddy Schrock is a composer who digitally mines the sounds of the everyday for the profound, and the glitzy, rough edges of pop music for its articulate immediacy. He has lived and worked in Tokyo, The Hague, New York, and San Francisco, with performances in the Czech Republic, Holland, Japan, and North America. In his live performances Schrock finds the underlying essence of music by first hacking found sound to microscopic bleeps, next rearranging the shards, then fusing them into a new inorganic whole and finally realigning the synthetic and the natural. Robert van Heumen is a musician and composer of electronic music, who is very active in the Amsterdam improv scene. Being part of the N Collective he played with OfficeR (an electro-acoustic sextet searching for structures in improvised music) in Berlin, Norway, Amsterdam, and recently he did a tour with SKIF (an all-electronic set with Jeff Carey) in New York City. Both his composed and live music can be described as a mixture of toys, environmental sounds, voices and melancholic melodies, all blended with a certain kind of crackle and burst. * Date: Thursday June 23rd Time: 20.30h Venue: STEIM: Utrechtsedwarsstraat 134, Amsterdam Entrance: 3 euro Reservations: email knock@steim.nl To unsubscribe from this list please go to http://list.xs4all.nl/mailman/listinfo/steim __
