Show 029: Sound Drifting

I Silenzi Parlano Tra Loro was an interdependent temporary system of 16 international remote sub-projects, which used a wide range of methods and approaches to the generation, processing and presentation of data/sounds/images to form a nine-day long continuous on line – on site – on air sound installation on the occasion of the Ars Electronica festival’99

The publication documents the unusual interdependent, temporary system´. The installation had several very different on site versions in Europe and Australia and was also rendered into an 8 hour radio-installation (Austria and a 5 day non stop radio-sculpture in Weimar, Germany). More than 50 artists were involved in this project.

In the publication two CDs are included. Radia #29 is a very long excerpt of the second CD, which was composed by a generative programme using samples from short examples (approx. 4 min) sent by each node of the SOUND DRIFTING NETWORK after the live event had ended.

The generative programme used was the SOUND DRIFTER designed by Winfried Ritsch (Graz, A).

Show 026: Gegen Die Bridge by Serhat Koksal

Serhat Köksal aka 2/5 BZ, a regular contributor to reboot.fm, performs with samplers, saz, tapes, electronics, darbouka and spoken word.
His style varies between traditional music via experimental electronic sounds to improvisation with elements of popular Turkish cinema. His visual works borrow from zine and poster aesthetics and are collages of 70s and 80s Turkish melodrama and action films, political propaganda and media imageries of social phenomena.

Show 025: by Luis Antero and his project Out Level

here it is, the first out-of-the-house RIST production, bringing a new artist to the sound waves, Luis Antero and his project Out Level. Luis Antero is a self-tought amateur musician working in the experimental music universe. The show is 50 min long, in two sets, using processed electric guitar and samples (TV, spoken word and vinil (these by Aguila). the work is licenced under a creative commons licence.

at the end, has bonus, a production from the second release of a very good netlabel, comfort stand: Twizzle – Soda Fountain

Show 024: Brouillage

This program is based on texts written by the French poet Armand Robin. During the 50ies and 60ies he spent most of his time listening to shortwave radio stations in various languages, comparing the evolution of propagandist reporting. He was then publishing a weekly listening report that he printed and distibuted himself (I think it was 23 copies, made with a stencil printing machine). In this programme, readings of bits of text (it’s in french) are mixed with various sounds, a lot of them sampled from my friends Martiens Go Home.

Show 022: from Radio Cult

of experimental gatherings of Bulgarian artist working in the field of
ambient, minimal, micro-sound, noise and experiments. It is a edited and mixed 2 captures of the jam sessions that happened during the second edition of The Ambient Festival in Sofia, 2005.

The second part is a capture of the Hans Tammen’s Third Eye Orchestra.
A concept, in which Tammen as a conductor is inspired by Miles Davis’
subtle style of conducting.
Hans Tammen works with a wide collection of mechanical devices on his
“endangered” guitars, and uses an interactive software of his own design to rework his sounds in realtime. Projects include site-specific
performances and collaborative efforts with dance, light or video. He
works as a production manager at Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center in New York, responsible for managing the audio, audio postproduction and video studios, the education program and for overseeing all projects related to Max/MSP/Jitter or Physical Computing.

These recordings were taken during the Out of Context performances of the Third Eye Orchestra at St. Anastasia island and Sofia in August.
The concept was broadened by utilizing the laptop as the only instrument used in the orchestra.

Part of the Third Eye Orchestra were:

Hans Tammen – USA
Carol Parkinson – USA
Mloski and RES – Bulgaria
KEi – Bulgaria
Acid Fake – Macedonia
Yoko and Dusty – Bulgaria
