Some interesting stuff posted online recently from and about Soisong; an AV group consisting of Peter (Coil, Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV) Christopherson and Ivan (COH) Pavlov. Firstly some bootleg video recorded at their recent Cologne gig. It’s worth checking out the rest of that gig (there are 8 parts). The video/sound integration errs [...] All good intentions… Something I haven’t blogged about recently are my solo AV experiments. Here is a video from a performance I did at the Installer gig at the Fringe Bar in October 2009. Installer Gig excerpt from Performing Audiovisualist on Vimeo. This footage features compositions i’ve been working on for the next [...] I’ve always been into deep immersion and I have to say, lecturing and tutoring is a major distraction; splitting my life into such quadrants means I pay little attention to anything. I’m an obsessive and need unrestricted time to immerse. Here comes summer, just in the nick of time! Brisbane summer humidity makes me [...] Recently N4rgh1l3 performed at the State Library of Queensland as part of the Douglas Kahn / Other Film presentation “Wireless Imagination“.

Compositional Approach: My goal was to create a performance system that [...] “Barrett’s set, for example, explores a very intriguing, almost linear, narrative from blurry, sun-kissed photography and warm spacious ambience to the subdued loneliness of melancholic imagery and trilling feedback before finally collapsing into a dark, droning portrait of utter desolation. Barrett orchestrates the imagery well with a blend of abstract sound, field [...] “Performance” is the domain of “live art.” As a blanket term for music, dance, theater, and experimental variations thereof, it can be understood as the non-participatory live presentation of body movements, images, and sounds. In many cases, the notion of performance implies the presence of human actors or players on a [...] VOLKAN ERGEN // POOLPOOLPOOLPOOLPOOLPOOLPOOL // PART-2 from VOLKAN ERGEN on Vimeo. Turkish group Cotton AV (seen working above with Volkan Ergen) are one of many groups around the world exploring the live manipulation of audio visuals. One of their previous musical partners started up an interesting argument on the Audiomulch discussion list about [...] |
