Well, here are some photos from my performance on the 28th at the Roundhouse. I wasn’t to pleased with my performance. Technical problems ahhhhh!!! People seemed to like it though.

An Audio CD to accompany Hekate Soundsystem (a pan-european experimental free party soundsystem) & Randomartists’ (a London-based ‘autonomous art’ collective) touring multi-media exhibition based on a unifying story – ‘The Archetist’.

This CD compiles 15 exclusive tracks by underground musicians inspired by ‘The Archetist’, or the dystopian near-future world described in that story – ranging in styles from pure soundscapes through broken squat-IDM to hardcore-inflected dubstep.

Tracklisting/preview clips:

01 SPITTING VITRIOL – Archetism
02 FZV – Salvage
03 ENRESET – Introsperimentaleambiente
04 RONIN – My Face Reflected

This code isn’t too good and keeps crashing but before it does it comes out with a nice image. I think so anyway. Trying to learn how to do some VJing with video clips in Processing. Not working too good at the moment.

…an evening concert of contemporary audio-visual computer performances.

hac brings together local, national and international artists working in the intersection of technology, science and the arts. The concert features performances which utilise wearable computing, live coding, hacking, DIY electronics, and digital performance. The performances are multidisciplinary and innovative, searching for new ways of engaging the audience and artist through computer code, wearable technologies and homemade devices.

Through the course of the evening new computer programs will be written live in front of your eyes, codes will shift and morph, sounds and visuals will emerge and explode: human movements will make 3D worlds shift and stutter: hacked programs will shriek and spew out their internal circuits. The performances will span from sonic soundscapes, experimental noise and feedback loops to electronica and techno.

This event is also a networking opportunity for artists, programmers, scientists and anyone interested in the cross disciplinary possibilities and development of computational arts.

A unique audio visual experience, taking films from the 1920′s, modulating, dissecting and pulling them apart and thrusting them into the future propelled by a good helping of cutting edge electronic music and sonic artistry. A one off exclusive experience live at The Roundhouse not to be missed.
