CCCB

En abril de 1965 Eastman Kodak introdujo en el mercado una nueva y mejorada versión del formato 8 mm, al que llamó «Súper 8». Un formato humilde, pensado para rodar home movies, pero con el que grandes artistas han encontrado su mejor medio de expresión, ya sea por su facilidad de uso, su estética o simplemente porque es el formato cinematográfico más barato. La obra reciente de autores (mostrada en Xcèntric) como Jem Cohen nos recuerda que el formato continúa vivo. Las películas y las instalaciones interactivas de esta muestra celebran lo amateur, pop y familiar, por un lado, y el cine «con mayúsculas», por el otro.

El ciclo Súper-8, PEQUEÑO GRAN FORMATO, que tiene lugar en el auditorio y el vestíbulo del CCCB, presenta en primicia en España MOBILESKINO (Basilea) y LOS SUPEROCHEROS (Amsterdam). El joven colectivo suizo Mobileskino instalará sus originales juegos interactivos, creados completamente en súper-8. Los Superocheros presentarán una actuación musical que integra películas «huérfanas» en súper-8 en un espectáculo creado en exclusiva para Xcèntric.

Staalplaat Soundsystem was invited by Khoj to come and work in New Delhi. The main sonic interest in New Delhi is of-course the traffic and so a square would be the best object, for it functions as a central organ, pumping the loud traffic in the street system, where the square is the instruments body and the traffic the sound sources, the stings so to say. The most ideal square in New Delhi is Connaught Place having 3 circles and 7 radial roads, it seems as it is made specially for this. The Traffic sound character will be central part of the composition, sound and „musicians“ selected from the street, a choreography and composition taken of the city map. One prominent inhabitant of the city has forced himself as a main player, a mobile that they call ‚Auto‘, a small 3 wheel green and yellow Tuktuk taxi looking like a toy car, that inhabit the city by the thousands, like insects in the street. The communication language in New Delhi is by Car horn much like the way we use visual communication in Europe. Considering the fact that we do a installation named YOKOMONO with 10 red toy car record players, working with FM audio, if should be no surprise that I prefer to work with 10 of these green and yellow taxi’s and naming them YOKOMONO-Pro

Chris Korda (born 1962) is the cross-dressing leader of the Church of Euthanasia, musician and software developer (of Mixere, Whorld, and FFRend). Korda is a cross-gendered vegetarian and the only progeny of Simon & Schuster editor and author, Michael Korda.

1. What is the Church of Euthanasia?

The Church of Euthanasia is a non-profit educational foundation devoted to restoring balance between Humans and the remaining species on Earth. We believe this can only be accomplished by a massive voluntary population reduction, which will require a leap in Human consciousness to a new species awareness.

The Human population is increasing by one million every four days. This is a net increase of 95 million per year, the current population of Mexico. Even major wars or epidemics hardly dent this rate of growth, and modern wars also have tremendous environmental consequences. It is for these practical reasons, as well as moral ones, that we support only voluntary forms of population reduction.

The Church has only one commandment, and it is “Thou Shalt Not Procreate.” In addition, we have four “pillars” or principles, which are Suicide, Abortion, Cannibalism and Sodomy.

Note that cannibalism is only required for those who insist on eating flesh, and is strictly limited to consumption of the already dead. Also note that sodomy is defined as any sexual act not intended for procreation: fellatio, cunnilingus, and anal sex are all forms of sodomy and are still illegal in some parts of the United States.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CHURCH OF EUTHANASIA

El próximo 14 de enero hará 10 años de la muerte de Muslimgauze, músico activista en pro del pueblo palestino y las causas árabes que editó una cantidad importante de discos (muchos de ellos en el sello STAALPLAAT) con títulos bastante claros y contundentes sobre el genocidio que los diferentes gobiernos de Israel infringen al pueblo palestino. Como, desgraciadamente, el asunto sigue candente, demasiado candente, como audioacción global y descentralizada proponemos desde Mediateletipos escuchar a Muslimgauze. Porque sea como fuere… escuchar nos hace mejor personas.

“The finest radio drama of the 1930’s was The Mercury Theatre on the Air, a show featuring the acclaimed New York drama company founded by Orson Welles and John Houseman. In its brief run, it featured an impressive array of talents, including Agnes Moorehead, Bernard Herrmann, and George Coulouris. The show is famous for its notorious War of the Worlds broadcast, but the other shows in the series are relatively unknown. This site has many of the surviving shows, and will eventually have all of them.

The show first broadcast on CBS and CBC in July 1938. It ran without a sponsor until December of that year, when it was picked up by Campbell’s Soup and renamed The Campbell Playhouse. All of the surviving Mercury Theatre shows are available from this page in RealAudio format (some are also in MP3 format). There are several Campbell Playhouse episodes available here as well, in both RealAudio and MP3 formats; the rest are being added gradually […]”

January 10th 2009 2PM+: Tonewheels–drawn sound and light music with Derek Holzer
xxxxx_micro_research, pickledfeet, Linienstrasse 54, Berlin 10119
U2, Rosa-Luxemburg-Pl. U8, Rosenthaler Pl.
Telephone: 3050187482

TONEWHEELS is an experiment in converting graphical imagery to sound, inspired by some of the pioneering 20th Century electronic music inventions. Transparent tonewheels with repeating patterns are spun over light-sensitive electronic circuitry to produce sound and light pulsations and textures. This all-analog set is performed entirely live without the use of computers, using only overhead projectors as light source, performance interface and audience display. In this way, TONEWHEELS aims to open up the “black box” of electronic music and video by exposing the working processes of the performance for the audience to see.

In this workshop, participants will learn about different optoelectronic components (photodiodes, photoresistors, phototransistors and photoelectric cells) and how they can be used to create sound from natural or electronic light sources in our everyday world, as well as from lasers and other modulated light sources. Circuits to drive motors in order to create hand-drawn spinning “tonewheels” will also be shown.

Limited places! Please register at: m@1010.co.uk

About the instructor:

Derek Holzer [USA 1972] is a sound artist who has performed live audiovisual sets using laptops and the Pure Data programming language since 2001. Becoming frustrated with the performance limitations of the computer, he began new experiments with all-analog, light-driven systems in the summer of 2007 which led to the TONEWHEELS live performance. Since then, TONEWHEELS has been performed in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, Estonia, Poland and Belgium.

Workshop fee: 12 euros.
