Roger Mills is an excellent sound artist/musician and currently a postgrad student of mine. Please contribute to this project if you can:
Idea of South – Call for Field Recordings from the Southern Hemisphere
Do you have any field recordings of remote locations in the Southern Hemisphere ?
As part of an ongoing psychogeographic web map and experimental radio project, sound artist Roger Mills is looking for field recordings from locations throughout the southern hemisphere. These will be added to the Idea of South web map interface as it gets updated online at http://www.eartrumpet.org/projects.html#ideaofsouth
Selected recordings will also be included in the Idea of South experimental radio multicast being broadcast live simultaneously on 2SER Sydney 107.3 fm, FBI 94.5 fm and Shoutcast stream from Idea of South Website on Sunday 14th June at 22.30.
To contribute field recordings (no more than 2 minutes long), please email stereo WAV files to roger [AT] eartrumpet [dot] org via ftp host yousendit.com. For those with access to a server, I am also happy to download from them.
Please also include the following details:
- Location with latitude and longitude coordinates.
- Description of location, time of year and emotional responses/observations at time of recording.
- Name and contact details.
All contributors will be credited in the final work and by submitting recordings I assume your permission to use the material in the manner outlined. All contributions are governed by Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license.
Recordings from outside Sydney and Melbourne particularly welcome and I would like to thank everyone who has contributed files to make ‘Idea of South’ what it is so far.
My review of Jon Rose & Robin Fox’s ‘Pursuit’ performance at Carriageworks has been published by RealTime.
I’ll be performing with the Splinter Orchestra next Thursday, April 16, at PACT Theatre, Erskineville. I’ll probably be playing my Korg MS-20.
Wake Up and Listen will be guest presenting Utility Fog on FBi Radio tonight from 10pm. Tune in for an eclectic selection of unusual music.
After a brief hiatus Alias Frequencies is back in 2009 with many wonderful things to come. Here are some new and updated releases:
Lucas Darklord – Handheld Apocalypse
These selections represent a sample of individual works, experiments and never-to-be-finished pieces produced between 2005 and 2007. Some pieces mark the beginnings of failed projects or redundant tangents, whilst others came to be for unknown reasons. All compositions are intended for most appropriate use in managerial meeting rooms, executive boardrooms, vaults, darkness, at volume and with influence. It is advised that this composition be played in all work places both before and after work each day. This music is without genre and is Dark Corporate Techno, Dark Grinding Corporate Ambience, Dark Corporate Art Core and 21st Centuary All Family Punk.
Lloyd Barrett & Paul Forbes-Mitchell – Humming through Schizophonic Air
The pieces on this album were created using a specially designed system code-named “Habitat”. Autonomous artificial agents feed on live and prepared sound and vision, excreting their own mutated variations which are then collected and presented for listener edification. The process is the culmination of combined research by Paul and Lloyd in the construction of a live electro-acoustic audiovisual engine that draws from both academic and underground practices.
Also updated:
Lucas Darklord – Asmoir
These are the sounds received from our first interdimensional probe, Asmoir. This epic work now includes parts 4, 5 and 6 plus high quality images. The current duration is over seven hours. The concluding parts 7, 8 and 9 will be released later this year.
2009 ELECTROFRINGE FESTIVAL – CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Electrofringe is now calling for proposals for the 2009 festival. We
are looking for creative expressions from artists, sound artists,
performers, media makers, digital filmmakers, researchers,
cross-artform practitioners, curators, producers, writers,
experimenters, enthusiasts and anyone who doesn’t fit these boxes.
Electrofringe is a five-day festival of electronic arts and culture
held from the 1st – 5th October 2009 in Newcastle, Australia.
Electrofringe is part of a group of festivals collected together under
the This Is Not Art umbrella. Electrofringe is committed to fostering
creative and innovative use and re-use of technology and electronic
artforms, while focusing on artistic development and skills exchange.
Electrofringe seeks proposals in the following program areas:
Artist and project presentations, workshops and demonstrations,
panels, interventions, live art, performance (Electro-Performance),
residencies (Electro-Residencies), mobile works (Electro-Manoeuvre),
online artworks (Electro-Online) and single-channel video works
(Electro-Projections & Electro-Être) plus special events (something
you want to propose).
All presentations, panels, workshops, demonstrations, panels,
performance, residency, intervention, live and mobile works submission
proposals are due by TUESDAY 31st MARCH 2009.
Only online artworks (Electro-Online) and single-channel video works
(Electro-Projections & Electro-Être) submission proposals are due by
SUNDAY 31st MAY 2009.
See the Electrofringe website for submission details: www.electrofringe.net
Over the last few years Don’t Look Gallery has presented a diverse
array of challenging experimental technology-based art from its
shopfront in the outer-inner-west suburb of Dulwich Hill. Sound,
video, computer art, vintage technologies, installation and conceptual
art describe just some of the forms that have raised eyebrows in this
modestly sized art space.
We are currently looking for artists (and potential artists) who may
want to show at Don’t Look Experimental New Media Gallery in 2009.
Exhibitions run for 10 days (or longer by agreement), the rent is
cheap and we help with publicity, setup and concept (if you wish). If
you are interested in having an exhibition please email a proposal and
CV (no more than two pages in all) to dontlookgallery@gmail.com.
In 2009 we will be also be starting a fortnightly experimental
sound/new media performance night. If you’re a musician and/or artist
and want to try out something new, again please email
dontlookgallery@gmail.com with a short description of the work and a
CV.
We look forward to hearing from all artists who are into making work
that doesn’t fit neatly into a gilded frame, squarely on a wall!
I’ve programmed a selection of Australian music for the latest edition of the ELEVENELEVEN podcast.
I have a chapter in this new book:
Very shortly the book Experimental Music: audio explorations in Australia will be hitting the streets.
Written by artists, producers and participants in alternative music-making, and including a companion CD, Experimental Music: audio explorations in Australia explores the development of forms, ideas and scenes from the 1970s to the present.
It brings together a wide range of musical experimentation, from post-punk, noise, appropriation, electronic dance and listening music, to free improv, computer process music, experimental radio, instrument building and audiovisual fusions. More soon…
To accompany the book, a website www.experimentalmusicaustralia.net has been created to bring together information about experimental music and sound in Australia. There are 3 features that invite your input:
National Calendar: a web-based calendar (it’s a little bit ugly, but it’s free), to bring together listings from across the country. So if you have a gig, festival, exhibition, conference etc that you’d like listed you can send through information. If you produce multiple events or series you can have editing access.
Artist Directory: Hopefully a comprehensive map of people working in experimental music and sound across Australia. If you would like to be included, download the form, fill it in, and email back, or contact for further information.
Resource List: This is a mega links list starting with information drawn from the book on all things experimental music from gigs, organisations, online journals and a bibliography. Already an unwieldy monster, feel free to send through additions/suggestions.
For all of the above email: info <at-sign-here> experimentalmusicaustralia.net
I’ll email more when the book is ready for our hot little hands, but in the meantime help make the website a valuable resource!
thanks
