concert:
ALBERTO DE CAMPO (Austria/Alemania) / MIGUEL A. GARCÍA (Euskadi)

Alberto de Campo studied classical composition, jazz guitar, and 
electronic music in Austria and in the United States. After working at 
UC Santa Barbara designing experimental software instruments with Curtis 
Roads, he taught at Media Arts Academy Cologne, the Institute for 
Electronic Music in Graz and at the Technical University of Berlin, 
where he held the Edgard Varèse guest professorship for Electronic 
Music. He later also held a professorship for Music Informatics at Music 
University Düsseldorf and, since 2009, he is a Professor for Generative 
Art/Computational Art at the Institute for Time-based Media, Arts 
University Berlin (UdK). Alberto plays with powerbooks_unplugged (just 
in time programming on mostly unamplified laptops) and also 
improvisation groups with acoustic instruments such as Quiet Noise 
Quartet, Syntopia Ensemble or with musicians like Elisabeth Harnik, 
Mario de Vega, Hannes Hoelzl, Joker Nies and others. He makes electronic 
music with BlippooHazard (four musicians playing the Blippoo Box, a 
hardware synth by Rob Hordijk). Recent projects include creating 
software instruments and sound installations with Florian Hecker, e.g. 
‘No Night No Day’ at Biennale Venice, and AuditoryObjects (Bordeaux), 
and collaborating with Marcus Schmickler and Carsten Goertz on Bonner 
Durchmusterung, a project involving sonification und visualization of 
astronomical data.

Basque artist Miguel A. García (also known as Xedh ) focuses on sound 
and its formal organisation. His works currently sit somewhere 
in-between electroacoustic composition and improvisation, combining 
electronic sounds, field recordings and “real” instruments to create an 
intimate, immersive and intense experience. He is also involved in 
projects such as Mubles, Baba Llaga or Válvula Antirretorno and has 
collaborated with, among many others, Alexander Bruck, Michel Henritzi, 
Coeval, Lali Barrière, Miguel Prado, Oier I.A., Oscar Martín, Rinus Van 
Alebeek, Roberto Mallo, Seijiro Murayama and Zan Hoffman. He runs a 
couple of netlabels as well, Larraskito and Doministiku.

Making Micro-worlds – Models, systems, and interventions (lecture by 
Alberto de Campo)

One of the most interesting options computers and electronics offer to 
artists is the idea of creating systems (or potentially worlds) by 
designing their components, and the inner logic that connects them; in 
other words designing artificial causalities. This talk will touch on 
the historical connection between cybernetics and the arts. I will 
discuss some very interesting current artists and designers of such 
systems for music performance, as well as discuss my own current works, 
both in music and installation.

Monday 28.11.2011, 18:00h.
