[spectre] S.LOW Projekt + (An ALKU afternoon at NK)

S.LOW Projekt

S.LOW is a Berlin-based cross-disciplinary project involving 34 international and national visual artists, music composers working with electronic media, musicologists, performers, engineers, physical scientists and film-makers. The project aims to articulate synergies from such a mixed community of individuals who have been invited to respond to the concept of ‘slow’ and or ‘low ‘, in the context of the city of Berlin.

A major focus exists on the exchange of methodologies and knowledge, to address similar creative questions, which will investigate ideas such as; the creative use of s/low technologies versus cutting-edge ones; the degree of speed built into the creative process/thinking, particularly in cross-disciplinary works; high-low cultural streams as experienced by participants coming from academic and non-academic environments; slow/fast environmental impact of art and artists producing art; and finally, it has additional scope for investigation around vocabulary such as; low-cost/ recycled materials/low-budget/open source and related grammar.

As the result of collaborations among practitioners and their interaction with the local community, expected outcomes will range from the creation of new works, to residencies, screenings, discussion of methodologies employed, workshops, performances, coffee roundtables, etc., which will take place from July 15th to August 20th, 2010.

CONCERT Saturday, July 17, 2010 20UHR
Una tarda ALKU a NK (An ALKU afternoon at NK)

Roc Jiménez de Cisneros & Anna Ramos cordially invite you to an ALKU
event with live music, synthetic birds and hot Mexican chocolate.

EVOL (live performance for computer and gas horns)
Since the late nineties, EVOL have been producing what they call
“computer music for hooligans”, giving birth to musical forms built
upon a collision of structural ideas inspired by fractal geometry,
glimpses of quantum theory and rave culture. From glowsticks to air
horns, strangely familiar vocalisations and noise, their music
displays a radical and playful approach to algorithmic composition.
EVOL pieces have been published on record labels such as Entr’acte,
Mego, Presto!? and ALKU amongst others.

Rara Avis (informal sneak preview)
“Rara Avis” is a collective project about birdsong synthesis. The
compilation, to be published by ALKU this fall, features contributions
from Chris Brown (US), Oswald Berthold (AT), Anders Dahl (SE), Roc
Jiménez de Cisneros (ES), Fredrik Olofsson (SE), and Peter Worth (UK).
All of them wrote generative audio programs that imitate or recreate
bird speech through various synthesis techniques. This is the first
public preview of the records’ contents.
