      *PRSZR / ZAN LYONS / DJ Insultor*

NK series /Composing This Space/
*Made possible with the kind support of the Initiative Neue Musik Berlin 
e.V. *

*Prszr* (pronounced "pressure") is the duo of Rafal Iwanski (from 
acclaimed polish percussion duo HATI) and austrian electronic music 
veteran Pure combining the eerie, computer generated sound world of Pure 
with the archaic, outer-wordly spaceyness of Iwanski's percussion play. 
Prszr's first album "Equilirium" was released on Swiss label 
Hinterzimmer Records in November 2012.

Multi-layered syncopating polyrhythms alternate with gong-based drones 
built on top of computer-generated loops and pulsating patterns. Melting 
acoustic with electronic aesthetics in a unique way in their 
performances PRSZR create a highly hypnotic, cathartic sonic experience 
for the audience.

Formed in 2008 as a trio, and after a few promising concerts in Germany 
and Poland, PRSZR recorded their first album in 2009. It is released by 
Swiss label Hinterzimmer Records in December 2012 and accompanied by a 
tour through several European cities.

*Zan Lyons*
is one of the most distinctive audio/visual performers to date, 
violinist, producer and film-maker zan lyons' stunning shows have 
received critical acclaim across the globe. explosive beats collide with 
melancholic concertos. using his laptop and custom foot pedals, zan 
loops his violin, voice and sounds while manipulating his haunting 
visuals -- to incredible effect. zan's film making process retains the 
organic approach established by his music. a one man army, zan directs, 
shoots, edits, and lights all of his films himself as well as doing all 
of the complex animation and visual effects work.
The result is hypnotic and otherworldly, bringing a truly cinematic 
vision to the audio/visual world. his films have quickly earned zan high 
profile recognition with nominations from lux and the london short film 
festival and screenings on mtv2 as well as the cannes, onedotzero and 
raindance film festivals. recently, zan has performed with the likes of 
battles and chris clark as well as collaborating with warp records' 
leila and nicolette. impressed by lyons' unique audio/visual outlook, 
the UK's latitude festival invited zan to remix ridley scott's blade 
runner. this ever-evolving live re- imagining of scott's classic sees 
lyons cut up scenes from the film-splicing in his own work in the 
process and replacing the soundtrack with his own score. 'zan lyons vs 
blade runner' has since been performed at berlin's berghain and the UK's 
leeds festival with further performances planned for 2010/2011. not 
confined to solo work, in 2009 zan was appointed musical director on 
darren johnston's underdrome, a 360 multimedia spectacle at london's 
roundhouse. zan co-ordinated a 100 piece choir and a string octet all 
consolidated with a live 5.1 mix by lyons' himself. zan also provided 
live tour visuals for dan le sac vs scroobius pip that year a frequent 
collaborator with alec empire, zan plays in empire's band 'the hellish 
vortex' and is completing work on a film project with the newly reformed 
atari teenage riot.

Zan is currently working on a long form audio visual album. existing 
between music video and feature film, this ambitious 2-disc project will 
feature allnew music with a short film made for each song.

      *Animation and Interaction in the Processing Environment:
      libraries for sound, physics simulations, and interfacing*

Processing (http://www.processing.org) is an easy-to-learn, free, 
open-source programming environment, great for graphics and animation. 
It is great for beginners who are learning to program, and powerful 
enough for professionals to use as a design tool. We looked at the 
basics a week ago, on May 25.
