\nProtochip
tunes
\n
\nProto-Chiptunes: the hypothetical ancestor of modern-da
y 8-bit video game music\, known as ìChiptunesî. Before there were arduinos
\, video game systems\, or even microchips capable of producing sound\, the
re was only binary logic. But in order to find the roots of this ancient mu
sic\, we must go back further\, back before the time of logic\, far back in
to the pre-history of electronics. From the primordial ooze of analog circu
its arose the first digital logic circuits. Made only from transistors\, re
sistors and diodes\, they clawed their way out of the random void to assert
their unambiguous binary dominion over the whole world of electronics. Whe
n the digital circuits had established themselves as supreme rulers of the
electronic world\, and mastered the use of fire\, they developed a style of
music called ì0 01 0110 10010011 0101 01 1? known today as ìProto-Chiptune
sî. Now the CMOS 4000 Series Digital Logic Family re-imagine this primitive
electronic music under the careful and patient direction of Phillip Stearn
s.
\n
\nThe Brooklyn based artist is responsible for the Year of the Glitch
and Glitch Textiles projects. His work as an artist involves a lot of tink
ering with electronics: taking things apart\, short circuiting devices and
building things from scratch. A passion for noise is informed by a love of
physics. He's a freelance photographer and audio technician on the side and
teaches electronics at 3rd Ward.

\n
\nThis is the first tour
of the collaboration between Laetitia Sonami and James Fei. While the mater
ials and techniques used by the two musicians are distinctly different\, bo
th employ tactile interface coupled with electronic systems that exhibit co
mplex behavioral response. Sonami will introduce her new spring-based instr
ument (the Digital Spring Spyre). She constructed this new "instrument" aro
und a web of springs whose vibrations are analyzed by neural networks (Rebe
cca Fiebrink's Wekinator). It exhibits particularly erratic behaviors…. Fei
's setup consists of a mix of vintage Buchla and self-constructed analog mo
dules. The system is driven by multiple feedback loops\, often on the brink
of instability. Signals are recursively routed through microphones\, sprin
g reverb\, and between audio and control voltages. Circuit elements are als
o modified by touch\, integrating the non-linearities and the immediacy of
the body with the electronic processes.

\n
\nRegister for this workshop using this online registration form. Advanc
ed registration is required no later than one week before the workshop.
\n
\n
\nJust in time for the Queensday flea markets\, STEIM is teaming up with
the Sounds of the Underground festival to bring you a two-day intensive wo
rkshop on learning to create hand-made electronic instruments by hacking ol
d toys\, radios\, and other sound-making devices. We're especially happy to
have as teachers two of the most preeminent hand-made electronic music exp
erts around\, Phil Stearns and Peter Edwards (Casperelectronics).
\n
\nIn t
his workshop participants will be introduced to the basic principles and pr
actices of circuit bending as well as other forms of creative electronics.
We will talk about what to look for when opening circuits and how to find t
he best modifications as well as how to use the necessary tools correctly.
Our goal is to guide every participant through the process of modifying a s
imple device successfully. We want everyone to leave with a new and fully f
unctional instrument. Attendees MUST bring at least 3 circuits to work on!!
Devices must be simple\, battery powered and must already make some sound.
Children’s toys work best.
\n
\nThe topics and information in the workshop
will be fit to the interest and experience levels of the group. We can cov
er the whole range of electronic instrument making from the basics of solde
ring all the way up designing your own custom analog sound circuitry.
\n
\n
A bare minimum of topics we expect to cover include:
\n
\n\tIdentifying the
basic layout and components of most electrical circuits.
\n\tHow to do Cir
cuit Bending safely.
\n\tProper soldering practice.
\n\tWhich circuits are
best to modify and why.
\n\tTypical circuit modifications and how to implem
ent them.

\nWhat is Circuit Ben
ding?
\nCircuit bending is the art of creatively short circuiting audio ele
ctronics in order to uncover exciting new functionality and invent novel ne
w musical interfaces. It is a fun and experimental process which is especia
lly appealing to artists and musicians who wish to work with electronics bu
t find the math and physics of traditional engineering unappealing. More in
fo on circuit bending can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circu
it_bending
\n
\n \;
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n \;
\nWHAT TO BRING / PR
EPARE
\nEach attendee MUST bring at least 3 toys or simple electronic devic
es to be modified. The device must run on batteries and must generate sound
. Devices should also be inexpensive as it is very likely one of them will
be destroyed in the process of the workshop (we will be opening up the devi
ces and experimenting with them in a very hands-on way).
\n
\nThe Queensday
flea markets are a fantastic opportunity to find electronic devices to mod
ify. The tendency in consumer electronics over the last years has been to m
ake things smaller and smaller – hence harder to hack. Often times the olde
r the better - look for things from the 80′s or 90′s\, or even older if you
get so lucky. Don’t be afraid to turn them on and see what kinds of sounds
they make before buying them.
\n
\nIf you would like to bring an enclosure
for your electronics that’s also a nice idea. Often times the original cas
ing of the device is too small to fit all your modifications in\, and needs
to be transplanted into a new body. VHS tape cases and cigar boxes are mar
velous candidates.
\n
\nBatteries will not be provided\, so please bring ad
equately fresh batteries to power your electronics. No knowledge of electro
nics or special tools are necessary to participate in this workshop\, altho
ugh both will help! If you have a set of tools you like to use\, please bri
ng them along!

\nThis workshop will teach you everything
you need to know in order to create interactive performance systems with Is
adora software\, Wii controllers or an Android/iOS device\, and cameras for
video tracking.* Participants with l
aptops and Wii controllers or smartphones can build Isadora patches as they
go through the workshop\, ending up with a simple standalone performance p
atch by the end of day three\, that can run in the free demo version of Isa
dora. The objective of the workshop is to introduce participants to the use
of Isadora as an interactive performance tool and to guide them towards it
s use in their own work.
\n
\n*Although the Windows version of Isadora will allow participants to try
out most of the same functions as Mac users\, PC users will not be able to
access all the functions covered in the workshop\, due to some third party
software limitations\, since connecting a PC with the Wii bluetooth device
requires an alternative 3rd party software (such as ‘GlovePie’) which will
not be taught in this workshop. If participants have an Android smartphone\
, they will be able to use that as a controller instead\, by connecting to
Isadora with the TouchOSC app via WiFi\, available on iTunes.

\nThe workshop will focus on using the
hardware and integrating it with your current software environment. The go
al is for everyone participating in the workshop to come out ready to use S
ense/Stage in their own creative projects.
\n
\nDay 1 of the workshop will
feature an introduction to Sense/Stage\, detailing the hardware and softwar
e infrastructure in a presentation\, followed by a hands-on demonstration o
f the hardware and software. We will also discuss your plans on using the t
echnology in your projects.
\n
\nDay 2 we will focus on getting started wit
h how to integrate the technology in your own projects\, showing how to att
ach sensors to the Sense/Stage MiniBees and adjust the configuration of the
software. For those experienced with Arduino software\, there will also be
an introduction on how to modify the Sense/Stage MiniBee firmware to custo
mize it for additional sensors (which are not supported yet)\, or use the S
ense/Stage MiniBees in alternative configurations (node-to-node communicati
on and interactons).
\n
\nWe assume you already have some experience with i
nteractive art and design\, and that you are already familiar with an OSC-f
riendly software package for creating sound\, visuals\, and interaction.
\n
\nSense/Stage is:
\n
\nThe Wireless Sensor Hardware
\nThe Sense/Stage mini
bee is a small\, battery-powered Arduino-based wireless node that can be wo
rn on the wrist\, sewn into clothing\, or embedded in objects. Each node is
equipped with a built-in accelerometer (ideal for capturing motion)\, but
also has ample analog/digital input possibilities for adding more sensors\,
and can communicate using OSC. You can have as many or as few of these nod
es as you need\, and using the data sharing software they can all communica
te with one another.
\n
\n \;
\n
\nThe Data Sharing Environment
\nCross
-platform\, open-source software that enables the real-time sharing of sens
or data among wireless nodes. Collaborators subscribe to any incoming data
streams they want to use\, and supply data streams of their own for use by
other collaborators.

ial. And after the workshop participants will have the opportunity to buy a
kit to take home (see https://shop.sensestage.eu for pricing). In case you
intend to buy more than the Starter Kit (one coordinator\, two nodes and a
battery kit)\, please let us know in advance to make sure enough hardware
is available.

\nTeacher
\nMarije Baalman is a artist and resea
rcher/developer working in the field of interactive sound installations.
\n
\nShe studied Applied Physics at the Technical University in Delft and gra
duated in February 2002 on the topic of Perceptual Acoustics. In 2001/2002
she followed the Sonology Course at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Sh
e completed her Ph.D. on Wave Field Synthesis and electro-acoustic music in
2007 at the Electronic Studio of the Technical University of Berlin. Betwe
en 2007 and 2010 she was a post-doctoral researcher in Computation Arts at
Concordia University in Montreal\, on the Sense/Stage project. Since 2010 s
he works as a freelance artist and developer from Amsterdam and works as a
hardware engineer at STEIM.
\n
\nHer current research goes into the use of
wireless networks for live performance (such as dance and music)\, installa
tions and interactive environments.
\n
\nShe has performed and exhibited wo
rk across Europe (STEIM\, WORM (NL)\, EXIT festival (F)\, Club Transmediale
(D)\, Make Art (FR)) and beyond (Electrofringe (AU)\, Translife (CN)\, Ele
ktra (CA)). She is a contributor to The SuperCollider Book (MIT Press\, 201
1).
\n
\nIn her artistic work she is interested in the realtime components
of the work\, in that nothing is precomposed as such\, but rather the (most
ly\, but not exclusively) sonic output depends on realtime interactions\, b
e it of the performer\, or of the audience. Thus composition becomes more t
he composing of behaviours and interaction modalities\, creating processes\
, rather than fixed sound tracks. This is expressed with tools such as phys
ical computing (performance interfaces and/or installations)\, livecoding (
both as a skill\, as well as a performance interface)\, digital and analog
sound processing\, and improvisation.
\n
\nShe has collaborated with variou
s people\, amongst which Alberto de Campo\, Chris Salter\, Michael Schumach
er\, Attakkalari Dance Company and Workspace Unlimited.
\n
\nTo realise her
works she mostly uses open source technology (software and hardware) and s
he is an active contributor to the open source community.

pick up the social importance of music.
\n
\nAny member of the orchestra c
an organize events and invite other members to play. The repertoire of the
orchestra consists mainly of compositions by Czech composer Karel Bastl (18
73-1918). The main conductor Ondřej Merta with his assistant Václav Pelouše
k searched the archives to search for innovative ways of playing improvised
music from the edge of 19th and 20th century. They try to deliver authenti
c experience of such music for the audience. At present moment fresh contem
porary composers are composing pieces for the orchestra ( Hans W. Koch\, Lu
cie Vítková\, Standa Filip and others ).
\nWith growing numbers (at the mom
ent more than 300 members) it is the largest orchestra in middle Europe (an

UT STANDUINO
\n
\n
\nStanduino is a clone of the popular Arduino board that
is extended to make it possible for entire functioning electronics project
s to be created on the board\, without the need for extra casings\, wires\,
or special shields. And because it's an Arduino clone\, Standuino is compa
tible with the Arduino software libraries and the easy to use Arduino progr
amming environment.
\n
\nThe Standuino project was founded in May 2011 at M
ultiplace festival with workshop that took place at 4AM medialab gallery in
Brno\, Czech Republic. Since then\, the Standuino project has spawned a se
ries of musical instruments such as the fraAngelico and microGranny. The St
anduino creative team consists of Ondřej Merta\, Václav Peloušek\, Martin B
aar\, Ondřej Homola and others. Since starting Standuino the team has carri
ed out over 25 workshops in 7 countries in Europe\, as well as Standuino so
lo exhibitions at REMAKE festival in Brno and at Boutique in Cologne.
\n
\n
The concept and inspiration for Standuino comes from the eastern pioneer of
DIY electronic art – Standa Filip. The name Standuino comes mainly from St
andas name\, but also represents what Standuino is best for - stand-alone a
pplications. Besides aiming to be innovative in the fields of open-source a
nd low-tech\, the Standuino project is also a research initiative for the e
astern DIY culture (=bastl) in electronic art.

SUMMARY:MAR 24 ++ Martins Rokis and MICA exchange students
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/martins-rokis-and-mica-exchange-
students/":
\n
\n \;
\n
\nWe're happy to welcome our second exchange gr
oup from the Maryland Institute College of Art. They will be finishing thei
r residency at STEIM and performing new works together with Martins Rokis.
\n
\nMartins Rokis has been experimenting with various electronic music for
ms since the late 90’s\, hiding under short lived aliases\, co-producing ra
dio show on local underground radio and working as a DJ.
\n
\nWhile studyin
g philosophy and delving into sound programming his focus gradually shifted
away from musical aspects of sound more towards experiential relationships
between sound\, space and body in general.
\n
\nCurrently he is crossing b
oundaries between so-called computer music\, psychedelic noise and sound ar
t\, blending generative strategies with improvisation.
\n

\n
\nOn their second program exchange to STEIM\, the Maryland
Institute College of Art's Sound Art program will explore the the unique so
undscape of Amsterdam and the sonic finger print of STEIM in live performan
ace this Sunday evening. The 5 undergraduate students\, led by MICA sound a
rt faculty Jason Sloan and Erik Spangler\, will create a unique improvision
al performance that will be based on sampling from STEIM's archive of vinta
ge analog synthesizers while also drawing from an original archive of field
recordings created while visiting Amsterdam. Through this process of mixin
g two unique and historic soundscapes this performance aims at creating a u
nique music that celebrates both the city of Amsterdam and the STEIM organi
zation.

DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/think-tank-12-all-about-mapping/
":The Soundlings collective\, in partnership with STEIM\, organizes regular
meetings to informally discuss current topics of interest for the broader
field of musicians\, producers\, and sound artists. Attendance is limited a

\n
\nThis edition of Think Tank will revolve around ques
tions of mapping in the digital arts (and beyond). Mapping is the process b
y which we translate one type of information to another\; for example\, the
question of how to best translate a button press into a complex musical re
sponse is largely a question of mapping. Mapping is an essential design cho
ice in nearly all digital artworks from video games\, to new musical instru
ments\, to data visualizations\, and immersive interactive media environmen
ts. The discussion will be led by Marije Baalman and Georgios Papadakis\, t
wo artists who have dealt extensively with this topic in research and pract

\nThe discussion will take place at the STEIM Concert Space on the
15th of January at 19:30. Please note that the STEIM Concert Space entrance
is on Utrechtsedwarsstraat 134 (the back entrance to STEIM). The discussio

DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/concert-kim-cascone-tez/":Join u
s for a special concert evening featuring two prominent artists working wit
hin the medium of altered states of perception.
\n
\nKim Cascone will prese
nt his new 34-minute sensory meditation 'Becoming Aiôn'. Utilizing Schumann
resonances\, Spricom frequencies\, binaural and monaural beat frequencies
and spatial effects\, 'Becoming Aiôn' is not a concert in the traditional s
ense\, but an experience intended to induce deep meditative states in the l
istener.
\n
\n'Becoming Aiôn' is an acoustic mirror\, a reflecting pool bri
nging the audience's unconscious to the surface through the technique of en
trainment\, allowing them to project onto the sonic gauze. 'Becoming Aiôn'
could be likened to a scrying mirror into which the viewers unconscious is
projected then reflected back to them. This work was inspired by my researc
h in Jungian psychology\, Hermetic philosophy\, brain entrainment technique
s\, altered states of consciousness\, meditation and a variety of other are
as.
\n
\n \;
\n
\nPrior to 'Becoming Aiôn'\, TeZ will perform 'PV868'\,
a performance aimed at producing an audiovisual feed/stimulus which allows
a peculiar effect of moving visual patterns to emerge directly in the brai
n of the observer.
\n
\nThe stimulus is generated in real-time by a combina
tion of flickering video\, in the form of abstract lights and color gradien
ts\, coupled with synchronized synthetic sounds (binaural beats) diffused i
n a surround quadrophonic system. These elements are performed and recombin
ed in real-time.
\n
\n'PV868' is inspired by the readings of John Geiger’s
“Chapel of Extreme Experience” and W. G. Walter’s “The Living Brain”. The t
itle\, 'PV868'\, is the patent number of the Dream Machine developed by Bri
on Gysin and William S. Burroughs in the late 50's.

\nKim Cascone has a long history involving electronic music: he receiv
ed his formal training in electronic music at the Berklee College of Music
in the early 1970′s\, and in 1976 continued his studies with Dana McCurdy a
t the New School in New York City.
\n
\nAfter moving to San Francisco in th
e 1980′s\, and gaining experience as an electronic technician in the audio
industry\, Cascone worked with David Lynch as Assistant Music Editor on bot
h “Twin Peaks” and “Wild at Heart.” Cascone left the film industry in 1991
to concentrate on his company Silent Records\, a label that he founded in 1
986\, transforming it into the U.S.’s premier ambient electronic music labe
l.
\n
\nAt the height of Silent’s success in early 1996\, he sold the compa
ny in order to pursue a career as a sound designer for Thomas Dolby’s compa
ny Headspace. After a two year stint at Headspace he worked for Staccato Sy
stems as the Director of Content where he oversaw sound design using algori
thmic synthesis for video games.
\n
\nSince 2001 Kim has been touring Europ
e performing\, conducting workshops and lecturing on post-digital aesthetic
s in sound art. Kim has released more than 40 albums of electronic music si
nce 1984 and has recorded/performed with Merzbow\, Keith Rowe\, Tony Conrad
\, Scanner\, John Tilbury\, and Pauline Oliveros among others.
\n
\nCascone
is the founder of the .microsound list which focuses on post-digital music
and laptop performance (http://www.microsound.org) and his writing has bee
n published in Computer Music Journal (MIT Press)\, Artbyte\, Soundcultures
\, Parachute Journal\, Junk Jet\, Geometer\; he has guest edited and writte
n for Contemporary Music Review and acts as an advisor to the journal “Inte
rference” based in Dublin\, Ireland. Kim is a citizen of both the USA and I
taly and lives on the coast of California\, south of San Francisco\, with h
is wife Kathleen and son Cage.

h\, amongst others\, Adi Newton\, Scanner\, Kim Cascone\, Saverio Evangelis
ta\, Taylor Deupree\, Sonia Cillari\, Chris Salter\, Honor Harger\, Luca Sp
agnoletti and Domenico Sciajno.
\nHe uses technology as a means to explore
perceptual effects and the relationship between sound\, light and space. He
focuses primarily on generative compositions with spatialized sound for li
ve performances and installations. In his works he adopts custom developed
software and hardware\, featuring original techniques of sonification and v
isualization to investigate vibrational phenomena. In recent years his rese
arch has extended to the ideation and creation of specific architectural st
ructures and unconventional sound and light propagation methods to enhance
immersivity and multisensory perception.
\nTeZ is also the brainfather of t

years his research has extended to the ideation and creation of specific ar
chitectural structures and unconventional sound and light propagation metho
ds to enhance immersivity and multisensory perception.

SUMMARY:(FULL!) DETECTION AMSTERDAM: sonic archeology lab and workshop by M
artin Howse
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/detection-amsterdam-a-sonic-arch
eology-workshop-by-martin-howse/":THIS WORKSHOP IS FULLY BOOKED.
\n
\nSTEIM
is happy to welcome London/Berlin-based artist Martin Howse to lead a two-
day workshop on sonic archeological techniques. Sonic archeology\, essentia
lly\, is the exploratory probing of phenomena through sonic amplification\,
creating audible maps of otherwise un-detectable events in the natural wor
ld. Examples range from the early phonographic experiments of Thomas Edison
to the more paraphysical realm of EVP (electronic voice phenomena).
\n
\n
\n
\nThis hands-on workshop aims to equip the sonic archaeologist with a ra
nge of DIY techniques for forensic examination of the material and immateri
al. A series of experimental situations will be established: probing both s
ides of material and immaterial\, investigation through audible excitation\
, transformation and detection (ultrasound\, infrasound\, interference\, li
ght\, surface playback\, electrochemistry). The workshop will equally exami
ne classical techniques of EVP (electronic voice phenomena) as well as new
practices suggested by these strategies of detection.
\n
\nDuring the works
hop participants will learn to:
\n- practically stage classical EVP detecti
on experiments (Juergenson\, Raudive and beyond)
\n- construct a quantum me
taphase typewriter for communication with parallel worlds
\n- build devices
to play back and decode surface marks and inscriptions
\n- make audible fl
uctuations in laser light and electrochemical reactions
\n- translate ultra
sonic impulses to the audio range
\n- work with the active construction of
electromagnetic emissions
\n
\nDates: Dec 8-9\, 2012
\nTime: 11:00 - 18:00
(each day)
\nCost: €70 (includes materials)
\nLocation: STEIM\, Achtergrach
t 19\, 1017WL Amsterdam
\nMaximum Participants: 15
\n"The pick was [then] u
sed to hammer on the surface\, and by this means\,
\nthe Angle Ditch was di
scovered. The sound produced by hammering on an excavated part is much deep
er than on an undisturbed surface\, a circumstance worth knowing when explo
ring a grass-grown downland\, though not applicable to cultivated ground."-
[Augustus Pitt Rivers. Excavations in Cranborne Chase. Volume IV. 1895]
\nS
ound can be conceived as the expression of material undergoing specific phy
sical stresses. As the earth is tapped with the back of the shovel\, or as
the cast metals of rail tracks are subjected to immense forces by the wheel
s of an arriving high speed train\, information is revealed concerning the
often less than visible strains and molecular interactions of the material
world. It's a strictly epistemological investigation\, equally providing fo
rensic material concerning an immaterial\, invisible world\; material for a
certain psychic detective seeking to make sense of the world. Following Pi
tt Rivers\, this sonic archaeology can be summarised as excitation followed
by detection.
\nWHAT TO BRING //
\nWe recommend that participants bring al
ong some form of recording\, inscribing\, or transcribing devices (tape or
digital audio recorder\, camera\, film\, pencil\, paper\, and so on). Headp
hones are also useful to bring! All other materials will be supplied by STE
IM and are included in the registration fee.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Robert Henke
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/concert-robert-henke/":For this
concert\, STEIM welcomes once again Robert Henke (Monolake) to perform a se
t of new work based on live processing of field recordings.
\n
\nPrior to h
is set\, Robert will be joined by participants from his 3-day workshop for
a presentation of new works developed during the workshop.
\n
\nDate: Satur
day 1 December\, 2012
\nTime: 20:30 hrs. (doors open 20:00 hrs.)
\nCost: €5
\nLocation: STEIM Studio 3\, Utrechtsedwarsstraat 134\, Amsterdam
\n
\nRob
ert Henke\, born in Munich\, Germany\, builds and operates machines to crea
te art. He pairs archaic concepts with computer science in order to explore
new aesthetic territories between composition\, performance and installati
on. The creation of his own instruments and tools and the results of using
them are two sides of the same artistic process.
\n
\nHis art is focused on
carefully shaped textural details and gradual changes of repeating structu
res in different time scales. It is also about volume\, power and impact\,
the tension between silence and noise\, and about the exploration of real a
nd virtual audio visual spaces.
\n
\nHenke is a pioneer of multichannel sou
nd\, using systems like wave field synthesis and ambisonics to create situa
tions of total immersion\, expanding the sonic experience of his performanc
es beyond of what can be reproduced in stereo.
\nAlthough mainly known for
his musical output\, Henke is also working in the field of installation\, b
oth sound based and audio-visual. Currently he explores the usage of high p
ower lasers for an installation called 'Fragile Territories' which will be
shown this winter in Nantes\, France.
\n
\nHenke’s interest in the combinat
ion of art and technology is further evident in his contributions to the de
velopment of the music software 'Ableton Live'. For more than a decade sinc
e Ableton’s founding in 1999\, he has been central to the development of Li
ve\, which became the standard tool for electronic music production and com
pletely redefined the performance practice of electronic music.
\n
\nHenke
also writes and lectures about sound and the creative use of computers\, an
d holds a professorship in sound design at the Berlin University of Arts.
\
n
\nFor 2013 he has been selected as Mohr Visiting Artist at the music depa
rtment of Stanford University\, where he will be teaching a class in comput
er music composition and performance.

ten zien. Het Amsterdamse trio Tin Men &\; The Telephone combineert stij
len zoals balkan\, hiphop\, klassieke muziek en hedendaagse jazz op een bij
zondere manier. Daarnaast gebruikt de groep visualisaties om de muziek op h
et podium meer zeggingskracht te geven. Het dagelijkse leven dient hiervoor
als grootste inspiratiebron. MAASK is een beatboxer en een stemkunstenaar
die via midi controllers\, Ableton Live en een programmeertaal\, zijn eigen
8-sporen loopstation heeft gecreëerd. Hiermee maakt hij zijn eigen nummers
en parodieert hij verschillende genres.

\n
\n
\nJoin us Friday 7 December for an excit
ing concert of new improvised electronic music. Featuring three performance
s by artists running the gamut of electronic improvised practice.
\n
\nJapa
nese instrument designer and composer Chikashi Miyama will present works co
mbining electronic composition\, abstract video\, and performance on his se
lf-made instruments the Peacock and Qgo. Chikashi is well-known throughout
the new instruments scene for his ecstatic live performances.

n for Qgo and Live Video (2012)
\n
\nWe're also very happy to welcome Londo
n/Berlin-based artist Martin Howse to perform at STEIM for the first time.
His performances take a highly personal\, poetic approach to noise through
a bricolage of self-made devices and scientific mechanisms\, chemical react
ions\, and electromagnetic phantoms.
\n
\nFinally\, trio-turned-duo electro
nic improvisation outfit bicycle day will be joining us from Istanbul for a
n unpredictable set mixing up ambient soundscapes\, art rock\, and free imp
rovisation.
\n
\nIt's going to be a blast. Don't miss it!

\n
\nMartin Howse operates with
in the fields of discourse\, speculative hardware (environmental data in op
en physical systems)\, code (an examination of layers of abstraction)\, fre
e software and the situational (performances and interventions). Heavily im
provised\, playing with the collapse of massed\, barely functional salvaged
equipment and software systems made manifest in sound/noise and image\, Ho
wse presents a complex\, process-driven constructivist performance\; the sy
mphonic rise of the attempt to piece together fugal systematics is played o
ut against the noise of collapse and machine crash at the deserted border o
f control.

\n
\nbicycle day is a thre
e piece orchestra making quiet or big sound\, from Istanbul. They are forme
d in 2008\, known for making only improvised music and for their DIY gueril
la albums. This performance which they will experiment as an electronic duo
also has the distinction of being the orchestra's first performance in Eur
ope. Everything played and recorded just once. This bike ride could be an a
uditory escapade for who are interested in flexible structures and the aest
hetics of failure.

\nMartin Howse o
perates within the fields of discourse\, speculative hardware (environmenta
l data in open physical systems)\, code (an examination of layers of abstra
ction)\, free software and the situational (performances and interventions)
. Heavily improvised\, playing with the collapse of massed\, barely functio
nal salvaged equipment and software systems made manifest in sound/noise an
d image\, Howse presents a complex\, process-driven constructivist performa
nce\; the symphonic rise of the attempt to piece together fugal systematics
is played out against the noise of collapse and machine crash at the deser
ted border of control.

\nbicycle day is a three
piece orchestra making quiet or big sound\, from Istanbul. They are formed
in 2008\, known for making only improvised music and for their DIY guerilla
albums. This performance which they will experiment as an electronic duo a
lso has the distinction of being the orchestra's first performance in Europ
e. Everything played and recorded just once. This bike ride could be an aud
itory escapade for who are interested in flexible structures and the aesthe
tics of failure.

SUMMARY:Think Tank #7 –\; Towards a Hierarchy of Electronic Arts?
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/think-tank-7-towards-a-hierarchy
-of-electronic-arts/":The Soundlings collective organizes regular meetings
to discuss current topics of interest for the broader field of musicians\,
producers\, and sound artists. Attendance is limited and by reservation. Se
e below for this week’s discussion announcement:
\n
\nThink Tank #7 will fe
ature a premier of new work by Marcel Wierckx\, followed by an artist talk.
The evening will continue with an open discourse about the topic of hierar
chies within the electronic arts.
\n
\nThere are several questions that\, a
s a creator of electronic art\, I struggle with at the onset of every new c
omposition. Some of them are directly related to the project I am about to
begin\, and these are usually answered in one way or another during the pro
cess of making the piece. Others are of such a universal nature\, and have
such far-reaching implications for the very nature of the work I do\, that
I must necessarily leave them unanswered. Some of these questions are: Does
the process of creation and presentation of electronic art necessarily imp
ly a power relationship? Is electronic art necessarily ephemeral? Where in
the hierarchy of artistic genres would the humanists of the Renaissance hav
e placed the electronic arts? This last question puzzled me immensely durin
g the past few months while I was working on an audiovisual composition bas
ed on the principles of the Northern Mannerist artists. These artists were
only secondarily concerned with technique–their primary concern was to secu
re the integrity of their art by being fully aware of the cultural value an
d prestige of the work they were creating: the idea behind the work was the
essence\, the technical realization was always subordinate to it. The hier
archy of genres to which painters adhered quite strictly for more than 400
years after the Renaissance provided a foundation for them to gauge the rel
ative importance of what they were working on. I ask: is it desirable\, or
even feasible\, for such a hierarchy to be considered in the electronic art
s? What would such a hierarchy look like? What are the guiding principles t
hat might lie behind our assessment of ‘important’ electronic art? What asp
ects of our craft might stand in the way of our being able to look at it fr
om this perspective?
\n

\nThe discussion will take pl
ace at STEIM on the 12th of September at 19:00. The discussion is organized

\n____TWISTED_SOUNDS____
\nBy
: Luc Vermeulen &\; Maarten Houdijk
\nTwisted Sounds is a project based
on the popular game Twister. One or two players generate sounds by placing
their hands and feet on the Twister mat. Each player controls a sound\, the
more difficult the position is the more interesting the sound will be. Pla
y the game and try to create the coolest sounds!
\n
\n____AUDIOTOPE____
\nB
y: Jerre van der Hulst &\; Eduard van Dommelen
\nA community of insects
only existing in light and sound is living and evolving in their own habita
t. Next to it there is a flyswatter begging to be used. Who feels a call to
play with this bio system? Killing is easy\, but maybe someone can create
something interesting.

\nYou enter a room with in the middle a big red button.
\nDo you press the button\, or will you try to find out what the room want
s?
\nThe room reacts on your actions\, but can you also react on the room?
\n
\n____CONSCIOUS_THE_UNCONSCIOUS____
\nBy: Alex Dijk
\nWhen we talk we ar
e not conscious of our voice\, when we look we are not conscious of the lig
ht\, and as we walk we are not conscious of our shadow. Subconscious is the
shadow of our ego that controls the way we perceive reality. So take this
chance to become conscious of the unconscious.
\n
\n____GLOEIENDE_GLOEIENDE
!____
\nBy: Roeland van den Beemd &\; Robin Taal
\nAll right\, analog is
dead. The computer and smartphone are gaining ground every day. And before
we notice another specie is extinct: the incandescent light bulb. Pretty s
oon the CFL will be the only option when it comes to bringing light to the
dark. Evolution or devolution? Let us bring a tribute to the old fashioned
light bulb that\, for decades\, brought a warm atmosphere to come home to e
ach day.
\n
\n
\n
\n____EXOCORTEX____
\nBy: Gleb Foulga
\nA commentary on
transhumanism and cyber-punk culture.
\nThe eye is the window to the soul.
Our world\, bodies and souls are changing as we approach the technological
singularity. Machines become more human and humans are augmented by technol
ogy as the two melt into one.
\n"EXOCORTEX" is a performance piece by Gleb
Foulga exploring these concepts as the eye moves throughthe sonic stages of
this gritty\, but imminent reality.

\nOk\, analoog is dood. De computer en smartphone winnen iedere dag terrein
. En voor we het doorhebben is er weer een soort uitgestorven: de gloeilamp
. Als de Nederlandse gloeilampschappen leeg zijn\, gaan we over naar de eff
icientere spaarlamp. Evolutie of devolutie? Laten we in ieder geval nog een
maal een eerbetoon brengen aan de gloeilamp. Die toch decennia lang sfeer b

\n____TWISTED_SOUNDS____
\nBy: Luc Vermeulen &\; Maarten Houdijk
\nTwisted Sounds is a pr
oject based on the popular game Twister. One or two players generate sounds
by placing their hands and feet on the Twister mat. Each player controls a
sound\, the more difficult the position is the more interesting the sound
will be. Play the game and try to create the coolest sounds!
\n
\n____AUDIOTOPE____
\nBy: Jerre van der Hulst &\; Eduard
van Dommelen
\nA community of insects only existing in light and sound is l
iving and evolving in their own habitat. Next to it there is a flyswatter b
egging to be used. Who feels a call to play with this bio system? Killing i
s easy\, but maybe someone can create something interesting.

\nYou enter a room with in the middle a big red button.

\nThe
room reacts on your actions\, but can you also react on the room?

\n____CONSCIOUS_THE_UNCONSCIOUS____
\nBy: Alex Dijk
\n
When we talk we are not conscious of our voice\, when we look we are not co
nscious of the light\, and as we walk we are not conscious of our shadow. S
ubconscious is the shadow of our ego that controls the way we perceive real
ity. So take this chance to become conscious of the unconscious.

\nAll right\, analog is dead. The computer and smartph
one are gaining ground every day. And before we notice another specie is ex
tinct: the incandescent light bulb. Pretty soon the CFL will be the only op
tion when it comes to bringing light to the dark. Evolution or devolution?
Let us bring a tribute to the old fashioned light bulb that\, for decades\,
brought a warm atmosphere to come home to each day.

\nBy: Gleb Foulga
\nA commentary on transhumanis

\nThe eye is the window to the soul. Our world\,
bodies and souls are changing as we approach the technological singularity.
Machines become more human and humans are augmented by technology as the t
wo melt into one.
\n"EXOCORTEX" is a performance piece by Gleb Foulga explo
ring these concepts as the eye moves throughthe sonic stages of this gritty
\, but imminent reality.

n Nederland archive is open for free creative use and will remain sustainab
ly preserved as it grows.
\n
\nIn this third workshop of the series\, sound
designer and founder of de Auditieve Dienst\, Arnoud Traa\, will lead part
icipants in the composition of audiotours. Audiotours are site-specific sou
ndscapes that tell a unique perspective of a place.
\n
\nWithin the worksho
p everyone will develop a concept for their own audiotour (having a startin
g idea in advance is highly recommended!). From there we will compose our a
udiotours.
\n
\nThe workshop will take place over two sessions a week apart
. The first session will be on 19 January. After this each participant will
have a week to create a 5-10 minute audiotour\, which is composed for a ro
ute or space in the same environment. The group will then reconvene on 26 J
anuary to collectively reflect upon the recordings. The audiotours and sour
ce recordings will be shared on soudcloud in the 'Het Geluid van Nederland'
-archive and sustainably preserved.

\n
\
nNew York based artist Phillip Stearns first came to STEIM 5 years ago as p
art of the CalArts Exchange\, and impressed us with his mad soldering skill
s and tireless effort to build his analog neural-network sculpture AANN. 3
years later\, he returned as a member of the MLB project and blew us away w
ith his bio-feedback strobic analog synth performance. In the meantime\, he
has become a prolific media artist creating a body of work ranging from in
stallations\, video\, performance\, and textiles. We are excited to see wha
t he brings us this time.
\n
\nSupporting the night is a duo by our favorit

\nARTIST BIOGRAPHIES —
—————–
\nPhillip Stearns creates at the intersection of art\, philosophy\,
and science\, drawing upon a variety of disciplines including sound install
ation\, music performance and composition\, video\, circuit sculpture\, pho
tography\, and conceptual art. Deconstruction\, dissection\, and reconfigur
ation are methods he commonly employs in his hands-on approach to creating
works with materials ranging from electronic objects\, biological systems\,
images\, light\, video\, and sound. His work has been exhibited internatio
nally at electronics arts festivals\, museums\, and galleries including: Ha
rvestworks (2010 NYC)\; Gli.tc/H (2010 Chicago\, IL)\; Festival De Arte Dig
ital (2010 Belo Horizonte\, Brazil)\; FILE (2009 Sao Paulo\, Brazil)\; NIME
(2009 Pittsburgh\, PA)\; Filmer La Musique (2009 Paris\, France)\; FONLAD
(2009 Coimbra\, Portugal)\; Torrance Art Museum (2008\, 2007 Los Angeles\,
CA)\; Optica Film Festival (2011\, 2008 Spain). He has participated in resi
dencies at Museums Quartier (Vienna 2010)\, STEIM (Amsterdam 2007)\, Experi
mental Television Center (NY 2009)\, Harvestworks (NY 2010)\, is the curren
t AIRTime Fellow at Free103Point9 for the 2010-2011 cycle\, and curator for

\n
\nToktek vs MNK is live audiovisual improvisation by Tom Verbruggen (T
oktek) and Karl Klomp (vj mnk). Their research deals with illogic audio / v
ideo hardware (circuit bending) in combination with max / atmel / Lisa prog
ramming and interfacing. Visual artist / musician Tom Verbruggen structures
unbridled clicks and cuts of his circuit bent gadgets and melodramatic tun
es into a fragile disturbance. Sampling with a joystick Tom creates unlogic
contrasts that will feed the video hardware of Karl Klomp. Modified second
hand (obsolete) hardware is tuned to create and interfere video on a fragil
e but aggresive way. With minimal animations and live generate ‘OSD glitch’
the signal gets carefully disturbed into a hyper dynamic oasis of disorder
\, all preformed very live.
\n
\nJonathan Reus is a Dutch/American artist w
orking with sound\, electronics and computing technologies. Drawing on infl
uences from noise\, minimalist techno\, and glitch\, he conducts live impro
vised experiments deconstructing the relationships we share with our ecosys
tems of machines and information. http://www.jonathanreus.com

SUMMARY:Digital Camera Mod Workshop w/Phillip Stearns
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/queensday-digital-camera-mods/":
Modify old digital cameras to make surreal dream machines
\n
\nIn this work
shop Brooklyn artist Phillip Stearns will guide you through the process of
interfacing digital circuits into the electronics of old digital cameras to
create beautiful controlled malfunctions.
\n
\nIn an open lab format we wi
ll dissect various specimens of digital cameras\, learn to identify the dif
ferent parts of the circuits and understand how to rewire them to induce co
ntrolled malfunctions. The primary technique we will use is circuit bending
\, which requires only a bit of courage and dexterity enough to handle smal
l screwdrivers\, manipulate bits of wire\, and operate a soldering iron.
\n
\nOnce we have covered basic techniques we will go into more advanced topi
cs such as circuit modification/augmentation\, the construction of digital
oscillators to interfere with the normal operation of the cameras\, and how
to use transistors to interface different electronic systems with the digi
tal processing chips of the camera. The main goal of the workshop is to dev
elop the basics skills necessary for continued individual exploration of di
gital image generating devices. Discussion on the relationship between tech
nology and the conceptualization of the body\, mind\, soul will take place
throughout.

ts happening the weekend of May 5-6 at STEIM and Mediamatic!
\n
\nWHAT TO F
IND ON QUEENSDAY
\nFor this workshop you must bring one or more functional
digital cameras (sacrificial of course\, never circuit bend something you c
an't live without!). To be on the safe side we suggest you find at least tw
o cameras. The older 1 or 2 megapixel cameras work best for the types of mo
difications we'll be doing. Kodak\, Olympus\, Fujifilm\, Canon\, Sony\, and
Agfa cameras are all good choices.
\n
\nPlease bring a laptop if you have
one\, along with any spare memory cards or memory card readers you can find
.
\n
\nAlso\, it would be helpful (but not absolutely necessary) to bring a
ny tools you are fond of using. Cutters\, pliers\, strippers\, and especial
ly precision screw drivers for opening up the cameras. We'll have a few ava
ilable but it's always nice to have your own. Circuit components will be pr
ovided at the workshop.
\n
\nNo knowledge of electronics is necessary to pa
rticipate in this workshop. Phillip will teach you everything you need to k
now.

\nULT
RA -short for “Ultramodernen” – is the collective name for a group of Dutch
bands and artists who were involved in one of the great experimental waves
in pop history\, that of 1979 – 83. ULTRA was responsible for the creation
of some of the greatest post-punk experimental pop in Europe\; a sound tha
t saw musicians and artists of all kinds grabbing the directness\, energy a
nd DIY philosophy of punk and combining it with new ideas\, methods and tec
hnological innovations\, as well as sifting parallel ideas from jazz and mo
dern classical music into a strange and heady mix.
\n
\nThe ULTRA2012 event

SUMMARY:Circuitbending with Found Electronics
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/queensday-circuitbending-worksho
p/":Absolute beginners introduction to circuitbending. Bring in your Queens
day finds and learn the essentials of hacking found electronics.
\n
\nIn th
is workshop you'll learn hands-on the basics of circuit bending. Bring in y
our Queensday finds (at least two electronic devices!)\, open them up\, and
search for modifications using the techniques of circuit bending. The work
shop will be held over a single day in an open lab format with explanations
\, demos\, and one-on-one attention. All the necessary tools and electronic
components except for batteries will be provided.
\n
\nCircuit bending is
an artistic approach to electronics. Meaning that no formal engineering tra
ining is necessary. Instead we'll use intuition and curiosity as our guide.
Success is determined directly by the pleasure of the sounds one discovers
\, no matter how one might have arrived at those results. The main goal of
the workshop is to get everyone comfortable working creatively with found e
lectronics. By the end of the workshop everyone will walk away with a newly
bent instrument or device.
\n
\nSome topics we will cover include:
\n
\n\t
Enough electronics basics to get you opening up electronic gadgets without
fear
\n\tUnderstanding the essential tools of circuit bending
\n\tBasic cir
cuit modifications using common electronic components and controls
\n\tModd
ing device enclosures to add switches\, knobs\, light-sensors\, etc..

g on your individual project\, paid at the workshop)
\nLocation: Mediamatic
BANK\, Vijzelstraat 68\, Amsterdam
\nMaximum number of participants: 16
\n
\nYou must register online to attend this workshop. Registration is availa
ble through our partners at Mediamatic via this event page.
\n

\n
\n
\n
\nWHAT TO FIND ON QUEE
NSDAY
\n
\nEveryone attending should bring AT LEAST two electronic devices
to be bent. The more the better. Circuit bending is an inexact science\, an
d every once in a while you'll completely fry a device while attempting a d
ifficult bend. The devices MUST run on batteries at a low voltage (hacking
electronics connected to mains power can be lethal!). Batteries will not be
provided\, so please bring adequately fresh batteries to power your electr
onics.
\n
\nSome classic circuit bending devices are:
\n
\n- Radios (especi
ally older ones.. especially those big battery-powered 80's boom boxes!)
\n
\n- Tape players/recorders (Sony Walkman etc..)
\n
\n- Keyboards (Casio\,
Yamaha)
\n
\n- Sound making toys (Speak and Spell\, early-model Furby)
\n
\
nThe tendency in consumer electronics over the last years has been to make
things smaller and smaller - hence harder to hack and modify! Try to dig up
things from the 80's or early 90's\, or even older if you get so lucky! Do
n't be afraid to turn them on and see what kinds of sounds they make before
buying them.
\n
\nIf you would like to bring an enclosure for your electro
nics that's also a nice idea. Often times the original casing of the device
is too small to fit all your modifications in\, and needs to be transplant
ed into a new body. VHS tape cases and cigar boxes are marvelous candidates
.
\n
\nWe will provide all the tools and components for modifying your devi
ces. At the end of the workshop we ask that you pay for the parts that you
used for your project (you can expect this cost to be somewhere between €5
and €15 depending on what you use).
\n
\nOnce again\, no knowledge of elect
ronics is necessary to participate in this workshop. We'll teach you what y
ou need to know!
\nWORKSHOP LEADERS
\n
\nThe lab will be led by STEIM staff
along with invited guests. Including but not limited to:
\n
\nDaniel Schor
no is an experimental composer/musician\, born in Zurich/Switzerland. He st

etitia Sonami\, Francisco Lopez\, Jon Rose\, Anne Laberge\, Steina Vasulka\
, and numerous Dutch New Music Ensembles and organisations like the FNM/Stu
ttgart and the Theremin Institute/Moscow. He is currently STEIM’s composer-
in-research and creative project advisor. Recent works also include the ong
oing ‘KAIROS Project’\, where he invites instrumental virtuosi to play alon
g with his new sensor instruments. His concerts and workshops have taken hi
m all over Europe and as far afield as Johannesburg’s Sowe to\, Iceland\, S
hanghai and the street artists &\; kids of Guatemala City.
\n
\nJonathan
Reus is a Dutch/American artist working with sound\, electronics and compu
ting technologies. Through improvised music and sound performances he inves
tigates the alien-but-entangled relationship we share with our ecosystems o
f machines and information. His background includes studies in mathematics\

SUMMARY:Net Acoustics –\; Global echoes and local resonances
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/net-acoustics/":Global echoes an
d local resonances
\n
\nIn this workshop artists Jamie Allen and Bernhard G
arnicnig will lead explorations in the acoustic potentials of the physical
and networked spaces where we spend our days.
\n
\nNetworks\, whatever else
they are\, are sites of rhythmic\, pulsating transfer and reception of sig
nals. These networks have resolutely become the material ‘spaces’ where liv
es are lead\, work gets done and social structures emerge. Although informe
d by the mechanics and material-genealogies of sound making and formats for
sound-packaging\, the world wide web remains a “space” without acoustics.
\n
\nAs a material history\, we might consider the first use of terms such
as “channel” to describe audio routing in the acoustic panopticon designs o
f Athanasius Kircher. As a contemporary environment\, we might consider the
internet as an incompletely realized and experienced space\, with an unrea
lized sonic potential. Sound is architecture\, the internet a space - the a
udible can help us understand these new spaces.
\n
\nWe liken network syste
ms to an acoustic environment\, complexes of echoes bouncing and re-boundin
g from transmitter to receiver and back again. At either end of this conflu
ence\, exists a physical end-point\, conceived and actualized variously as
a data-structure\, a terminal\, a node or a human being. These dynamics are
afforded through the matter of a network.

nXi Shan / Westhill
\nWest Hill (Xi Shan) is a rap group coming straight ou
t of Yun Nan region. They chose the protest genre of rap/hip hop as their c
reative vehicle to express the harsh realities of life\, measuring up cool
grooves\, incorporating traditional instruments into their sound pool\, the
y laced their lyrics with humor\, satire and side swipe digs at a wide rang
e of topics\; social\, emotional and controversial. Most uniquely\, they ra
p in their own Kunming dialect. They recorded several demo tracks looking f
or a record deal but were ignored by all the record companies due to its ‘p
rovocative’ nature then Kuang Chong Yu\, a well known Taiwanese song lyrist
and producer discovered them in 2007. Knowing enough about the market\, Yu
decided to follow the boys' lives not only to bring the band's story to th
e attention of the world in order for them to gain their due respect in Chi
na but also to realize his long delayed dream to make a film instead of cha
sing after less promising record deal.
\nAfter 4 years of working on the fi
lm\, they found a chance to introduce the true story of the Chinese hiphop
band to the audiences outside China while the boys will have performances f
or the first time abroad. The documentary will be screened as a rough cut w
hile the screening of the film itself as well as the band's performances wi
ll be shot and used as the ending scenes of the finally completed film. Wha
t could be more unique experience than to watch the unfinished documentary
about Chinese hiphopers\, see the live performances by the subjects of the
film and be part of the film by being there with them?
\n
\nThen well known
Taiwanese A&\;R person\, song lyrist and producer Kuang Chong Yu discov
ered them in 2007. Yu understood the band's credibility\, recognized their
true creative agenda and decided that he needed to bring the band's story t
o the attention of the world in order for them to gain their due respect in
China. Across the last few months of 2008 and February 2009\, Yu spent the
entire period working with the band\, shooting endless reels of HD film fo
otage and now\, with over 44 hours of usable film impressions as well as a
15 track CD\, the real journey for the band and Yu has just began. In the p
ipeline there are 5 music clips\, a dozen of so YouTube show-reels and\, mo
st importantly\, a compelling feature length documentary about the band\; "
Say Sing"\, all of which are now being spliced together in a Taipei editing
suite.

\nInner Science is the alias of p
roject by Tokyo based producer Masumi Nishimura. Early on in his career he
was involved in the so-called Japanese Hip Hop scene\, but since the 00s he

ectronic music. Merging beautiful melodies and fat beats\, INNER SCIENCE dr
aws unprecedented attention in Japan and overseas.

ep your body moving. Listen to his music.
\n

society works. He is also a talented musician\, experimenting with various
analog machines to create raw\, noise-influenced soundscapes.
\n
\nMargari
ta Osipian is a slightly scattered artist living and working in Amsterdam.
A little nervous about the digital realm\, she works mainly with analog tec
hnology (like overhead projectors) and collaborates with local musicians do
ing live visuals for their performances.

\nARTIST BIOS &\; VIDEOS
\n
\n
\nAtsuhiro Ito was born in 1965. He launched his career as a visual
artist in the late '80s\, and in '98 began presenting sound performances at
art exhibitions and so on. Ito made use of fluorescent lighting (which is
also an element of his art installations) in the creation of an original mu
sical device called the optron. He continues to refine the instrument while
approaching sound and music from a contemporary-art-based perspective. In
addition to his solo exhibition and performance projects\, Ito is active in
a number of musical units. One of these is Optrum\, the explosively loud "
extreme optical noise core band" consisting of Ito and drummer Yoichiro Shi
n. Between 2000 and 2005 Ito presented various sound (music)/visual image-r
elated events at Off Site\, the now-defunct gallery/free space in Yoyogi\,
Tokyo. The Optrum album Recorded was released in June 2006 on the label Unk
nownmix (Headz).
\n
\n
\n
\nBorn in 1978\, Christine Abdelnour lives in Fra
nce but is of Lebanese origin. After discovering improvised music in 1997 s
he began a process of self-taught study and sound experimentation using the
alto saxophone.
\nShe has developed a unique personal language\, producing
sounds that are close to those of electroacoustic music but on a purely ac
oustic instrument.
\nShe approaches sound as a malleable material\, rich in
concrete textures which combine breath\, silence and countless acoustic di
stortions. She has developed extended techniques and complex patterns of so
und production\, exploring the microtonal aspects of the saxophone and its
high-pitched tones. She employs subtle tonguing techniques\, unpitched brea
ths\, spittle-flecked growls\, biting\, slicing notes and breathy echoing s
ounds from the bell of her horn. Far from any narrative effects\, her music
addresses the relation between listening and concepts of perception\, time
and space.
\n
\nAndy Moor was born in London in 1962. He began his musical
life in Edinburgh\, Scotland playing guitar with the band Dog Faced Herman
s\, a multi faceted eclectic group that mixed energetic post punk energy wi
th traditional tunes and improvisations…. In 1990 he moved to the Netherlan
ds after an invitation to join Dutch band The Ex and continues to be a full
time member of this band….the openess and versatility of the musicians in
this group has brought them intocontact with many musicians from different
scenes and backgrounds..including Tom Cora(cello)\, Han Bennink(drums)\, Wo
lter Wierbos(trombone)\, Djibril Diabate (kora) John Butcher (sax) and Anne
james Chaton (sound poet).

SUMMARY:Satellite CCRMA: Interactive design with open embedded computers &#
8211\; FULL
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/ccrma-invention-embedded-instrum
ent-design/":This workshop is full. It is possible to be put on a waiting l
ist by filling out this online registration form. In the case that a spot o
pens up we will contact you.
\n
\nInvention and interaction design workshop
with CCRMA researchers
\n
\n
\nThis is an in-depth course in physical inte
raction design led by researchers Edgar Berdahl and Florian Goltz. In this
workshop we will explore the essential notions of interactive art and inven
tion through working with small embeddable computers (the open\, DIY-friend
ly Beagle Board). These small computers combine the connectivity of a lapto
p with the computational power of a high-end smartphone\; however they are
less expensive than either and fit inside a cigar box. We will dedicate muc
h of the workshop to prototyping new functional artworks\, for example: mus
ical instruments\, effects processors\, interactive installation works\, an
d anything else you can imagine that requires high computational power in a
small\, inexpensive footprint.
\n
\nIn the broader sense this workshop dea
ls with interaction design: What happens when human behaviours meet those o
f machines? How do the devices we use determine the style of interaction? H
ow do we design for the limitations of human performance and the affordance
s of machines? A key component of this workshop will be learning about the
process of making something that interacts with the real world. We will cov
er the topic of physical interaction design in depth\, using the physical i
nteraction design framework developed by Bill Verplank as a fundamental app
roach.
\n
\n \;
\n
\n
\n
\n \;
\n
\nSpecific topics we will cover i
nclude:
\n
\n\tThe core perspectives of physical interaction design: idea\,
metaphor\, model\, display\, error\, scenario\, tasks\, and control
\n\tEx
ercises in invention\, brainstorming and sketching
\n\tA survey of existing
controllers and interactive music practices
\n\tEmbedded\, open computing
with Linux and the Beagle Board
\n\tSensor technologies (force-sensitive\,
capacitive\, optical\, and acceleration) and the design of custom DIY senso
rs using conductive and piezoelectric fabrics
\n\tApplications of sensors a
nd electronics to real-time music
\n\tProgramming music synthesis and effec
ts with PureData
\n\tInterfacing sensors with the Beagle Board using the Ar
duino Nano
\n\tHands-on work with analog and digital electronics
\n
\n
\;
\n
\nDates: 11 - 15 June \, 2012
\nTime: 10:00 – 19:00 each day with lun
ch break
\nLocation: STEIM\, Achtergracht 19\, 1017WL Amsterdam
\nCost: €30
0 registration + cost of workshop kit *(see below)
\nFor those traveling fr
om abroad\, STEIM has available a number of rooms in our artist hotel for a
discounted rate. Please contact us directly by email if you are interested
in reserving one of these rooms.
\n
\n
\n \;
\n
\n
\n
\nThe Beagle Boa
rd at the heart of our creations will be running Satellite CCRMA\, a specia
l flavor of the Linux operating system developed at Stanford University. In
cluded in Satellite CCRMA is PureData\, a widely-used open-source visual pr
ogramming language for real-time sound synthesis and processing. We'll be u
sing PureData for most of the programming of sound and interaction on our d
evices.
\n
\nThe workshop is intended for musicians or composers\, makers\,
engineers\, industrial designers\, or anybody looking to learn more about
interaction design with basic analog and digital electronics. Please see th
e Physical Interaction Design for Music course taught at Stanford Universit
y for more information.
\n
\n \;
\n
\n* We will provide workshop kits c
ontaining all the necessary hardware (BeagleBoard\, Arduino Nano\, breadboa
rd\, sensors\, and components). The kits can then be purchased and taken ho
me at the end of the workshop after you have built your prototypes. Thanks
to a generous donation of components by the FLORIS.CC webshop we are able t
o sell the kits for €165. The price of the kits may come down even further
as we seek out additional sponsors.
\n
\n \;
\nWHAT TO BRING / PREPARE
\nEach participant must bring a Max OS X\, Linux\, or Windows laptop. A pai
r of headphones with a stereo minijack connector. And a willingness to expe
riment and invent! To save time\, we ask that Windows users pre-install Cyg
win in advance of the workshop so that openssh\, xinit\, and the “required”
packages are all available.
\n
\nEven though we'll be focusing on using Pu
reData\, any Linux-compatible synthesis software *should* theoretically run
on the BeagleBoard. If you're interested in using something other than PD
please let us know beforehand so we can prepare.
\n
\nYou should have some
programming know-how (for example: MaxMSP\, Javascript\, or Python) for thi
s workshop\, though you certainly don't need to be an expert. We will be pr
oviding numerous examples to get you off the ground.
\n
\nThe kits can be u
sed for prototyping new kinds of effects boxes (for instance\, for guitar).
If you are interested in creating a programmable effects box then please e
mail the workshop leaders in advance so we can provide a 1/4" guitar cable
connector for you.
\n
\n

\nWORKSHOP LEADERS
\nEdgar Berdahl is
the lead developer of the Satellite CCRMA platform for developing new musi
cal instruments and sound art installations. Edgar received his PhD at CCRM
A\, Stanford University in the area of new musical instrument design. His
research now spans the interdisciplinary fields of new media art\, haptics\
, force-feedback control\, acoustics\, actuated musical instruments\, physi
cal modeling\, physical interaction design\, and Autonomous New Media Artef
acts (AutoNMA). Edgar is the inventor of the haptic drum\, which enables a
musician to make gestures that would otherwise be difficult or impossible\
, and in general he aims to make new digital interactions seem more analog.

\n<
em>Invention and interaction design workshop with CCRMA researchers
\n
\n
\nThis is an in-depth course in physical interaction d
esign led by researchers Edgar Berdahl and Florian Goltz. In this workshop
we will explore the essential notions of interactive art and invention thro
ugh working with small embeddable computers (the open\, DIY-friendly Beagle Board). These small computers combin
e the connectivity of a laptop with the computational power of a high-end s
martphone\; however they are less expensive than either and fit inside a ci
gar box. We will dedicate much of the workshop to prototyping new functiona
l artworks\, for example: musical instruments\, effects processors\, intera
ctive installation works\, and anything else you can imagine that requires
high computational power in a small\, inexpensive footprint.
\n
\nIn the br
oader sense this workshop deals with interaction design: What happens when
human behaviours meet those of machines? How do the devices we use determin
e the style of interaction? How do we design for the limitations of human p
erformance and the affordances of machines? A key component of this worksho
p will be learning about the process of making something that interacts wit
h the real world. We will cover the topic of physical interaction design in
depth\, using the physical interaction design framework developed by Bill Verplank as a fund
amental approach.
\n
\n \;
\n
\n
\n
\n \;
\n
\nSpecific topics we will cover include:
\n
\n
\nThe Beagle Board at the heart of our creations will be running
Satellite CCRM
A\, a special flavor of the Linux operating system developed at Stanfor
d University. Included in Satellite CCRMA is PureData\, a widely-used open-source visual programming language for
real-time sound synthesis and processing. We'll be using PureData for most
of the programming of sound and interaction on our devices.
\n
\nThe worksh
op is intended for musicians or composers\, makers\, engineers\, industrial
designers\, or anybody looking to learn more about interaction design with
basic analog and digital electronics. Please see the Physical Interaction Design for Music course<
/a> taught at Stanford University for more information.

span style="color: #999999\;">* We will provide workshop kits containin
g all the necessary hardware (BeagleBoard\, Arduino Nano\, breadboard\, sen
sors\, and components). The kits can then be purchased and taken home at th
e end of the workshop after you have built your prototypes. Thanks to a gen
erous donation of components by the FLORIS.CC webshop we are able to sell the kits
for €165. The price of the kits may come down even further as we seek out
additional sponsors.

DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/sonic-acts-in-collaboration-with

\n
\nThe bi-annual Sonic Acts Festival
showcasing works at the cutting edge of art\, technology\, music and scien
ce will be held in Amsterdam from 23 to 26 February 2012. Over a period of
four days Sonic Acts presents Travelling Time\, an ode to the human experie
nce of time. The festival takes place at seven different locations: the Par
adiso\, De Balie\, Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ\, NIMk\, SMART Project Space\, ST
EIM and Temporary Stedelijk 3.
\n
\nClick here for the program.
\n
\nThe fe
stival theme
\nTime is a complex and ambiguous concept. Relativity theorist
s and quantum mechanics have tinkered with the seemingly unambiguous concep
t of time since the beginning of the previous century. Art\, film and music
make abstract notions of time tangible and comprehensible\, and manipulate
how we experience it. The ongoing development and implementation of techno
logy constantly challenge\, change and undermine our perception of time. Co
mmunication networks function at the speed of light\, and computers process
data in real time\, without human intervention. The rapid advances in tech
nology are creating a gap between ‘machine time’ and ‘human time’. Travelli
ng Time is a quest to reveal the significance and the intricacies of time a
nd how we experience it.
\n
\nTravelling Time examines the need for speed w
hen performing improvised music\, and the unavoidable amount of time that i
s spent programming or constructing an artwork\, as well as time travel and
how art can be a vehicle for imaginary journeys. The four-day festival bri
ms with performances\, lectures\, exhibitions and presentations that intens
ify the experience of time.

\n
\nThe bi-annual Sonic Acts Festival showcasing wor
ks at the cutting edge of art\, technology\, music and science will be held
in Amsterdam from 23 to 26 February 2012. Over a period of four days Sonic
Acts presents Travelling Time\, an ode to the human experience of time. Th
e festival takes place at seven different locations: the Paradiso\, De Bali
e\, Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ\, NIMk\, SMART Project Space\, STEIM and Tempora
ry Stedelijk 3.
\n
\nClick here for the program.
\n
\nThe festival
theme
\nTime is a complex and ambiguous concept. Relativity theor
ists and quantum mechanics have tinkered with the seemingly unambiguous con
cept of time since the beginning of the previous century. Art\, film and mu
sic make abstract notions of time tangible and comprehensible\, and manipul
ate how we experience it. The ongoing development and implementation of tec
hnology constantly challenge\, change and undermine our perception of time.
Communication networks function at the speed of light\, and computers proc
ess data in real time\, without human intervention. The rapid advances in t
echnology are creating a gap between ‘machine time’ and ‘human time’. Trave
lling Time is a quest to reveal the significance and the intricacies of tim
e and how we experience it.
\n
\nTravelling Time examines the need for spee
d when performing improvised music\, and the unavoidable amount of time tha
t is spent programming or constructing an artwork\, as well as time travel
and how art can be a vehicle for imaginary journeys. The four-day festival
brims with performances\, lectures\, exhibitions and presentations that int
ensify the experience of time.
\n
\nLive Performances

\nAndrew Blanton's Panoptics (interac
tive visual/sound environment) &\; Vinkepeezer.
\nAndrew Blanton is a so
und and visual artist. He received his BM in Music Performance from The Uni
versity of Denver in June of 2008 where he studied on a partial scholarship
and is currently studying a Masters in Fine Arts in New Media at the Unive
rsity of North Texas on a full scholarship. He is frequently performing per
cussion and audio environments around Dallas and Denver\, and is helping cu
rate the 3m3rg3nt |||eΔ¡å L∂ß (an artist run space in Texas). His current w
ork focuses on cross-disciplinary emergence between art and technology\, bu
ilding sound environments through software development\, and writing music
for those environments.
\n
\nBlanton will be performing after completing an
artist residency at STEIM in the latter half of May 2013.
\n
\nPanoptics i
s ultimately a exploration of the ephemeral nature of data and the virtual
world that we are creating for ourselves. As new technology comes into exis
tence\, how do we as a culture understand the implications of that technolo
gy? How do we form a dialogue and understanding around the networks we have
built? How are we as participants in the internet commodified\, marketed\,
and sold?
\n
\nFor this evening Andrew Blanton collaborates with Vinkepeeze
r (Ivo Bol) live electronics / midi guitar. Ivo Bol is a composer\, live pe
rformer and sound artist. Bol has composed music for ensembles\, dance- en
theatre performances\, film and created sound installations. He has develop
ed a live sampling and synthesis instrument using game controllers to trigg
er\, sample and manipulate sounds in an intuitive and playful way.
\nRadbou
d Mens &\; Michel Banabila\, visuals: video artist Marco Douma
\nMichel
Banabila (Amsterdam 1961) is a sound artist\, composer\, and producer.
\nBa
nabila has produced musical scores for numerous films\, documentaries\, the
atre plays and choreographies.
\nBanabila is especially keen on mixing disc
iplines and music styles\, using elements and influences from jazz\, electr
onic music\, classical and world music. Therefore there is no particular ge
nre to categorize Banabila's music. In addition to acoustic instrumentation
\, Banabila uses electronics\, field recordings\, and recordings from radio
\, television and film. He collaborated with many different types of artist
s like Mete Erker\, Machinefabriek\, Holger Czukay\, Scanner\, Anton Goudsm
it\, and Zenial\, among others. His music has been released by labels as St
eamin Soundworks (NL)\, Staalplaat (DE)\, Tonecasualties (USA)\, Pork Recor
dings (UK)\, Respect Records (JP) and Challenge Records (NL). In 2003 he re
ceived the Edison Jazz Award for his CD with Eric Vloeimans\, 'VoizNoiz 3'
.
\n
\nRadboud Mens has been a sound-artist since the mid-eighties and is n
ow living &\; working in Rotterdam\, The Netherlands. In 1988 he started
creating audio-installations and noise-machines. In 1994 he started out re
leasing noise using the project-names "Hyware" and "Technoise"\, Hyware bei
ng very harsh noise and Technoise being rhythmic noise. As Hyware and Techn
oise he has done numerous noise-performances\, standing-wave performances a
nd concerts. Since 1997 he also started making music using his own name and
has released a lot of vinyl and CD albums on many different labels like St
aalplaat\, Mutek and Touch. His music varies from electronic to conceptual
music\, sometimes almost ambient-drone-like and rhytmically often quite min
imal. On labels like Audio-NL and Vynalogica he did a series of minimal-tec
hno 12 inches. In live situations he also collaborates with video-artists l
ike Remco Schuurbiers and Jpech. Together with Dan Armstrong he is the foun
der of the ERS label. As if it is not enough\, he also was a dj for the Ams
terdam free radio station Radio 100\, where he did a show entitled "Earbitt
en"\, for 16 years\; between 1986 and 2003.

\nRaviv Ganchrow
\nRaviv Ganchrow
presents parts of his new work ”Radio Plays Itself“. For this installation
\, the opening scenes of “Radio Plays Itself”\, recorded primarily in the c
ontrol room at Hörspiel studio at Funkhaus Vienna\, are re-enacted in the
control room of Studio #2 at STEIM.

\n
\n
\nRaviv Ganchrow’s (1972) work focuses on interre
lations between sound and space\, aspects of which are explored through sou
nd installations\, writing and the development of acoustic forming and vibr
ation sensing technologies. Recent installations directly engage the everyd
ay acoustic environment\, plumbing notions of 'place' that are constructed
by way of frequency interdependencies between sound\, location and listener
. He is currently engaged in a series of projects under the heading Listeni
ng Subjects that examine the contextual circuitry in sites of listening whe
reby audibility\, surroundings and subjectivity are conductive of one anoth
er. He has been teaching architectural design in the graduate program at TU
Delft and is currently a faculty member at the Institute of Sonology\, The
Hague.

\nRoman Stet
ina
\nThe common motif of Roman Štětina's video-series STUDIO is
the environment of an old radio broadcasting studio in Pilsen/Czech Republ
ic. Roman’s main theme is sound itself – its recording and broadcasting. He
does not consider sound recording as a mere auxiliary tool for documentati
on but as a condition of an action. The listeners are thus subtly confronte
d with their own readiness to believe that sound is a medium capable of rec
ording the real world and that it is possible to hear things that we cannot
normally hear.

\n
\nThe work of Roman Š tětina gives several examples of favourable conditions that ensure an imag inative use of sound. In his body of work the artist makes use of his profo und knowledge of radio broadcasting and related technologies. Roman lives two parallel lives\; the romantic life of a performing musician and the pra gmatic life of a radio editor cooperating with Czech Radio. He frequently c ooperates with others artists in various projects with a healthy indifferen ce to the acknowledgement of his co-authorship. Roman has always been able to connect these activities with his free artistic work – the acoustic imag e – situated on the boundary between sound installation in a gallery contex t and public radio broadcasting. \nhttp://www.romanstetina.com/

went deep into the abyss of no-input drone music and spent many years on t

\nRegister for this workshop using this online registration form. Advanc
ed registration is required no later than one week before the workshop.
\n
\n
\nJust in time for the Queensday flea markets\, STEIM is teaming up with
the Sounds of the Underground festival to bring you a two-day intensive wo
rkshop on learning to create hand-made electronic instruments by hacking ol
d toys\, radios\, and other sound-making devices. We're especially happy to
have as teachers two of the most preeminent hand-made electronic music exp
erts around\, Phil Stearns and Peter Edwards (Casperelectronics).
\n
\nIn t
his workshop participants will be introduced to the basic principles and pr
actices of circuit bending as well as other forms of creative electronics.
We will talk about what to look for when opening circuits and how to find t
he best modifications as well as how to use the necessary tools correctly.
Our goal is to guide every participant through the process of modifying a s
imple device successfully. We want everyone to leave with a new and fully f
unctional instrument. Attendees MUST bring at least 3 circuits to work on!!
Devices must be simple\, battery powered and must already make some sound.
Children’s toys work best.
\n
\nThe topics and information in the workshop
will be fit to the interest and experience levels of the group. We can cov
er the whole range of electronic instrument making from the basics of solde
ring all the way up designing your own custom analog sound circuitry.
\n
\n
A bare minimum of topics we expect to cover include:
\n
\n\tIdentifying the
basic layout and components of most electrical circuits.
\n\tHow to do Cir
cuit Bending safely.
\n\tProper soldering practice.
\n\tWhich circuits are
best to modify and why.

\nWhat is Circuit Ben
ding?
\nCircuit bending is the art of creatively short circuiting audio ele
ctronics in order to uncover exciting new functionality and invent novel ne
w musical interfaces. It is a fun and experimental process which is especia
lly appealing to artists and musicians who wish to work with electronics bu
t find the math and physics of traditional engineering unappealing. More in
fo on circuit bending can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circu
it_bending

\nWHAT TO BRING / PR
EPARE
\nEach attendee MUST bring at least 3 toys or simple electronic devic
es to be modified. The device must run on batteries and must generate sound
. Devices should also be inexpensive as it is very likely one of them will
be destroyed in the process of the workshop (we will be opening up the devi
ces and experimenting with them in a very hands-on way).
\n
\nThe Queensday
flea markets are a fantastic opportunity to find electronic devices to mod
ify. The tendency in consumer electronics over the last years has been to m
ake things smaller and smaller – hence harder to hack. Often times the olde
r the better - look for things from the 80′s or 90′s\, or even older if you
get so lucky. Don’t be afraid to turn them on and see what kinds of sounds
they make before buying them.
\n
\nIf you would like to bring an enclosure
for your electronics that’s also a nice idea. Often times the original cas
ing of the device is too small to fit all your modifications in\, and needs
to be transplanted into a new body. VHS tape cases and cigar boxes are mar
velous candidates.
\n
\nBatteries will not be provided\, so please bring ad
equately fresh batteries to power your electronics. No knowledge of electro
nics or special tools are necessary to participate in this workshop\, altho
ugh both will help! If you have a set of tools you like to use\, please bri
ng them along!

\nThis workshop will teach you everything
you need to know in order to create interactive performance systems with Is
adora software\, Wii controllers or an Android/iOS device\, and cameras for
video tracking.* Participants with l
aptops and Wii controllers or smartphones can build Isadora patches as they
go through the workshop\, ending up with a simple standalone performance p
atch by the end of day three\, that can run in the free demo version of Isa
dora. The objective of the workshop is to introduce participants to the use
of Isadora as an interactive performance tool and to guide them towards it
s use in their own work.
\n
\n*Although the Windows version of Isadora will allow participants to try
out most of the same functions as Mac users\, PC users will not be able to
access all the functions covered in the workshop\, due to some third party
software limitations\, since connecting a PC with the Wii bluetooth device
requires an alternative 3rd party software (such as ‘GlovePie’) which will
not be taught in this workshop. If participants have an Android smartphone\
, they will be able to use that as a controller instead\, by connecting to
Isadora with the TouchOSC app via WiFi\, available on iTunes.

\n
\nThe workshop will focus on using the
hardware and integrating it with your current software environment. The go
al is for everyone participating in the workshop to come out ready to use S
ense/Stage in their own creative projects.
\n
\nDay 1 of the workshop will
feature an introduction to Sense/Stage\, detailing the hardware and softwar
e infrastructure in a presentation\, followed by a hands-on demonstration o
f the hardware and software. We will also discuss your plans on using the t
echnology in your projects.
\n
\nDay 2 we will focus on getting started wit
h how to integrate the technology in your own projects\, showing how to att
ach sensors to the Sense/Stage MiniBees and adjust the configuration of the
software. For those experienced with Arduino software\, there will also be
an introduction on how to modify the Sense/Stage MiniBee firmware to custo
mize it for additional sensors (which are not supported yet)\, or use the S
ense/Stage MiniBees in alternative configurations (node-to-node communicati
on and interactons).
\n
\nWe assume you already have some experience with i
nteractive art and design\, and that you are already familiar with an OSC-f
riendly software package for creating sound\, visuals\, and interaction.
\n
\nSense/Stage is:
\n
\nThe Wireless Sensor Hardware
\nThe Sense/Stage mini
bee is a small\, battery-powered Arduino-based wireless node that can be wo
rn on the wrist\, sewn into clothing\, or embedded in objects. Each node is
equipped with a built-in accelerometer (ideal for capturing motion)\, but
also has ample analog/digital input possibilities for adding more sensors\,
and can communicate using OSC. You can have as many or as few of these nod
es as you need\, and using the data sharing software they can all communica
te with one another.
\n
\n \;
\n
\nThe Data Sharing Environment
\nCross
-platform\, open-source software that enables the real-time sharing of sens
or data among wireless nodes. Collaborators subscribe to any incoming data
streams they want to use\, and supply data streams of their own for use by
other collaborators.

\nTeacher
\nMarije Baalman is a artist and resea
rcher/developer working in the field of interactive sound installations.
\n
\nShe studied Applied Physics at the Technical University in Delft and gra
duated in February 2002 on the topic of Perceptual Acoustics. In 2001/2002
she followed the Sonology Course at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Sh
e completed her Ph.D. on Wave Field Synthesis and electro-acoustic music in
2007 at the Electronic Studio of the Technical University of Berlin. Betwe
en 2007 and 2010 she was a post-doctoral researcher in Computation Arts at
Concordia University in Montreal\, on the Sense/Stage project. Since 2010 s
he works as a freelance artist and developer from Amsterdam and works as a
hardware engineer at STEIM.
\n
\nHer current research goes into the use of
wireless networks for live performance (such as dance and music)\, installa
tions and interactive environments.
\n
\nShe has performed and exhibited wo
rk across Europe (STEIM\, WORM (NL)\, EXIT festival (F)\, Club Transmediale
(D)\, Make Art (FR)) and beyond (Electrofringe (AU)\, Translife (CN)\, Ele
ktra (CA)). She is a contributor to The SuperCollider Book (MIT Press\, 201
1).
\n
\nIn her artistic work she is interested in the realtime components
of the work\, in that nothing is precomposed as such\, but rather the (most
ly\, but not exclusively) sonic output depends on realtime interactions\, b
e it of the performer\, or of the audience. Thus composition becomes more t
he composing of behaviours and interaction modalities\, creating processes\
, rather than fixed sound tracks. This is expressed with tools such as phys
ical computing (performance interfaces and/or installations)\, livecoding (
both as a skill\, as well as a performance interface)\, digital and analog
sound processing\, and improvisation.
\n
\nShe has collaborated with variou
s people\, amongst which Alberto de Campo\, Chris Salter\, Michael Schumach
er\, Attakkalari Dance Company and Workspace Unlimited.
\n
\nTo realise her
works she mostly uses open source technology (software and hardware) and s
he is an active contributor to the open source community.

DETAILS
\n
\nStanduino Orchestra is an open-i
nvitation-improvised-music-group that consist of
\neveryone who has his
Standuino instrument. As much of a performance as it is a social event - t
he most important message of the orchestra is that anyone can be a member a
nd to pick up the social importance of music.
\n
\nAny member of the orches
tra can organize events and invite other members to play. The repertoire of
the orchestra consists mainly of compositions by Czech composer Karel Bast
l (1873-1918). The main conductor Ondřej Merta with his assistant Václav Pe
loušek searched the archives to search for innovative ways of playing impro
vised music from the edge of 19th and 20th century. They try to deliver aut
hentic experience of such music for the audience. At present moment fresh c
ontemporary composers are composing pieces for the orchestra ( Hans W. Koch
\, Lucie Vítková\, Standa Filip and others ).
\nWith growing numbers (at th
e moment more than 300 members) it is the largest orchestra in middle Europ
e (and maybe in the world). Standuino orchestra already took part in variou
s events: MusikNacht Boutique Cologne Germany\, Neue Heimat Berlin Germany\
, Školská 28 Prague CZ\, Chomsky bar Riga Latvia\, Soundexchange festival G
hoeteInstitut Riga Latvia\, Device_art Festival Zagreb Croatia\, Multiplace
festival Brno and Zlín CZ\, Generator city – Dum umeni Brno CZ\, ArtMap op
ening-Dum umeni Brno CZ\, Festival Intermedia Banská Bystrica Slovakia\, so
lo concert in Boro Brno and many other spontanious events.

\nBrian D. McKenna performs within a genre which might be r
eferred to as "Synesthetic Analogue Audio-Video-Hybrid Noise Improvisation
Music". Or something like that. He designs and builds his own video-synthes
izers for this purpose. McKenna has performed and exhibited in venues and g
alleries such as W139\, Smart-Project-Space\, DNK-Concert Series\, NDSM Ams

\nABO
UT STANDUINO
\n
\n
\nStanduino is a clone of the popular Arduino board that
is extended to make it possible for entire functioning electronics project
s to be created on the board\, without the need for extra casings\, wires\,
or special shields. And because it's an Arduino clone\, Standuino is compa
tible with the Arduino software libraries and the easy to use Arduino progr
amming environment.
\n
\nThe Standuino project was founded in May 2011 at M
ultiplace festival with workshop that took place at 4AM medialab gallery in
Brno\, Czech Republic. Since then\, the Standuino project has spawned a se
ries of musical instruments such as the fraAngelico and microGranny. The St
anduino creative team consists of Ondřej Merta\, Václav Peloušek\, Martin B
aar\, Ondřej Homola and others. Since starting Standuino the team has carri
ed out over 25 workshops in 7 countries in Europe\, as well as Standuino so
lo exhibitions at REMAKE festival in Brno and at Boutique in Cologne.
\n
\n
The concept and inspiration for Standuino comes from the eastern pioneer of
DIY electronic art – Standa Filip. The name Standuino comes mainly from St
andas name\, but also represents what Standuino is best for - stand-alone a
pplications. Besides aiming to be innovative in the fields of open-source a
nd low-tech\, the Standuino project is also a research initiative for the e
astern DIY culture (=bastl) in electronic art.
\n
\nTEACHERS
\n
\nVáclav Pe
loušek is an artist\, musician and inventor and Ondřej Merta is an artist\,
musician\, actor\, DJ and filmmaker both born in Brno. They both studied a
t the Art &\; Science Department of the University of Applied Arts in Vi
enna and at Multimedia Department of Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno. Peloušek
studied also Multimedia Composition at Janáček Academy of Performing Arts
in Brno and New Media at Winchester School of Art. Merta studied also Film
Theory\, Aesthetics at Masaryk University in Brno. They are the founders of
Standuino project and members of bands Hugo &\; Zoe\, CaveArt and Stand
uino Orchestra. They are also members of 4AM mediaLab and Grau Kllktv.

College of Music\, Tokyo\, Japan\, a Nachdiplom from Music academy of Basel
\, Switzerland\, and a Ph.D from University at Buffalo\, New York\, USA. In
2011\, he received a research grant from DAAD and worked as a visiting res
earcher at ZKM\, Karlsruhe\, Germany. His compositions have received an ICM
A student award\, a Chancellor's award from State University of New York\,
a second prize in SEAMUS commission competition\, a special prize in Destel
los Competition\, and a honorable mention in the Residence Prize section of
the Bourges Electroacoustic Music Competition. His works and papers have b
een accepted by ICMC twelve times\, by NIME four times\, and selected by va
rious international festivals in more than 18 countries. He is currently te
aching computer music as a lecturer at the college of music and dance in Co
logne\, Germany. His book about Pure-Data\, an audio software programming e

SUMMARY:Altered States // Kim Cascone\, TeZ
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/concert-kim-cascone-tez/":Join u
s for a special concert evening featuring two prominent artists working wit
hin the medium of altered states of perception.
\n
\nKim Cascone will prese
nt his new 34-minute sensory meditation 'Becoming Aiôn'. Utilizing Schumann
resonances\, Spricom frequencies\, binaural and monaural beat frequencies
and spatial effects\, 'Becoming Aiôn' is not a concert in the traditional s
ense\, but an experience intended to induce deep meditative states in the l
istener.
\n
\n'Becoming Aiôn' is an acoustic mirror\, a reflecting pool bri
nging the audience's unconscious to the surface through the technique of en
trainment\, allowing them to project onto the sonic gauze. 'Becoming Aiôn'
could be likened to a scrying mirror into which the viewers unconscious is
projected then reflected back to them. This work was inspired by my researc
h in Jungian psychology\, Hermetic philosophy\, brain entrainment technique
s\, altered states of consciousness\, meditation and a variety of other are
as.
\n
\n \;
\n
\nPrior to 'Becoming Aiôn'\, TeZ will perform 'PV868'\,
a performance aimed at producing an audiovisual feed/stimulus which allows
a peculiar effect of moving visual patterns to emerge directly in the brai
n of the observer.
\n
\nThe stimulus is generated in real-time by a combina
tion of flickering video\, in the form of abstract lights and color gradien
ts\, coupled with synchronized synthetic sounds (binaural beats) diffused i
n a surround quadrophonic system. These elements are performed and recombin
ed in real-time.
\n
\n'PV868' is inspired by the readings of John Geiger’s
“Chapel of Extreme Experience” and W. G. Walter’s “The Living Brain”. The t
itle\, 'PV868'\, is the patent number of the Dream Machine developed by Bri
on Gysin and William S. Burroughs in the late 50's.

\nKim Cascone has a long history involving electronic music: he receiv
ed his formal training in electronic music at the Berklee College of Music
in the early 1970′s\, and in 1976 continued his studies with Dana McCurdy a
t the New School in New York City.
\n
\nAfter moving to San Francisco in th
e 1980′s\, and gaining experience as an electronic technician in the audio
industry\, Cascone worked with David Lynch as Assistant Music Editor on bot
h “Twin Peaks” and “Wild at Heart.” Cascone left the film industry in 1991
to concentrate on his company Silent Records\, a label that he founded in 1
986\, transforming it into the U.S.’s premier ambient electronic music labe
l.
\n
\nAt the height of Silent’s success in early 1996\, he sold the compa
ny in order to pursue a career as a sound designer for Thomas Dolby’s compa
ny Headspace. After a two year stint at Headspace he worked for Staccato Sy
stems as the Director of Content where he oversaw sound design using algori
thmic synthesis for video games.
\n
\nSince 2001 Kim has been touring Europ
e performing\, conducting workshops and lecturing on post-digital aesthetic
s in sound art. Kim has released more than 40 albums of electronic music si
nce 1984 and has recorded/performed with Merzbow\, Keith Rowe\, Tony Conrad
\, Scanner\, John Tilbury\, and Pauline Oliveros among others.
\n
\nCascone
is the founder of the .microsound list which focuses on post-digital music
and laptop performance (http://www.microsound.org) and his writing has bee
n published in Computer Music Journal (MIT Press)\, Artbyte\, Soundcultures
\, Parachute Journal\, Junk Jet\, Geometer\; he has guest edited and writte
n for Contemporary Music Review and acts as an advisor to the journal “Inte
rference” based in Dublin\, Ireland. Kim is a citizen of both the USA and I
taly and lives on the coast of California\, south of San Francisco\, with h

\nHe uses technology as a means to explore
perceptual effects and the relationship between sound\, light and space. He
focuses primarily on generative compositions with spatialized sound for li

DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/detection-amsterdam-a-sonic-arch
eology-workshop-by-martin-howse/":THIS WORKSHOP IS FULLY BOOKED.
\n
\nSTEIM
is happy to welcome London/Berlin-based artist Martin Howse to lead a two-
day workshop on sonic archeological techniques. Sonic archeology\, essentia
lly\, is the exploratory probing of phenomena through sonic amplification\,
creating audible maps of otherwise un-detectable events in the natural wor
ld. Examples range from the early phonographic experiments of Thomas Edison
to the more paraphysical realm of EVP (electronic voice phenomena).
\n
\n
\n
\nThis hands-on workshop aims to equip the sonic archaeologist with a ra
nge of DIY techniques for forensic examination of the material and immateri
al. A series of experimental situations will be established: probing both s
ides of material and immaterial\, investigation through audible excitation\
, transformation and detection (ultrasound\, infrasound\, interference\, li
ght\, surface playback\, electrochemistry). The workshop will equally exami
ne classical techniques of EVP (electronic voice phenomena) as well as new
practices suggested by these strategies of detection.
\n
\nDuring the works
hop participants will learn to:
\n- practically stage classical EVP detecti
on experiments (Juergenson\, Raudive and beyond)
\n- construct a quantum me
taphase typewriter for communication with parallel worlds
\n- build devices
to play back and decode surface marks and inscriptions
\n- make audible fl
uctuations in laser light and electrochemical reactions
\n- translate ultra
sonic impulses to the audio range
\n- work with the active construction of
electromagnetic emissions

\n"The pick was [then] u
sed to hammer on the surface\, and by this means\,
\nthe Angle Ditch was di
scovered. The sound produced by hammering on an excavated part is much deep
er than on an undisturbed surface\, a circumstance worth knowing when explo
ring a grass-grown downland\, though not applicable to cultivated ground."-
[Augustus Pitt Rivers. Excavations in Cranborne Chase. Volume IV. 1895]
\nS
ound can be conceived as the expression of material undergoing specific phy
sical stresses. As the earth is tapped with the back of the shovel\, or as
the cast metals of rail tracks are subjected to immense forces by the wheel
s of an arriving high speed train\, information is revealed concerning the
often less than visible strains and molecular interactions of the material
world. It's a strictly epistemological investigation\, equally providing fo
rensic material concerning an immaterial\, invisible world\; material for a
certain psychic detective seeking to make sense of the world. Following Pi
tt Rivers\, this sonic archaeology can be summarised as excitation followed
by detection.
\nWHAT TO BRING //
\nWe recommend that participants bring al
ong some form of recording\, inscribing\, or transcribing devices (tape or
digital audio recorder\, camera\, film\, pencil\, paper\, and so on). Headp

SUMMARY:An Evening with Robert Henke
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/concert-robert-henke/":For this
concert\, STEIM welcomes once again Robert Henke (Monolake) to perform a se
t of new work based on live processing of field recordings.
\n
\nPrior to h

a presentation of new works developed during the workshop.
\n
\nDate: Satur

\nCost: €5
\nLocation: STEIM Studio 3\, Utrechtsedwarsstraat 134\, Amsterdam
\n
\nRob
ert Henke\, born in Munich\, Germany\, builds and operates machines to crea
te art. He pairs archaic concepts with computer science in order to explore
new aesthetic territories between composition\, performance and installati
on. The creation of his own instruments and tools and the results of using
them are two sides of the same artistic process.
\n
\nHis art is focused on
carefully shaped textural details and gradual changes of repeating structu
res in different time scales. It is also about volume\, power and impact\,
the tension between silence and noise\, and about the exploration of real a
nd virtual audio visual spaces.
\n
\nHenke is a pioneer of multichannel sou
nd\, using systems like wave field synthesis and ambisonics to create situa
tions of total immersion\, expanding the sonic experience of his performanc
es beyond of what can be reproduced in stereo.
\nAlthough mainly known for
his musical output\, Henke is also working in the field of installation\, b
oth sound based and audio-visual. Currently he explores the usage of high p
ower lasers for an installation called 'Fragile Territories' which will be
shown this winter in Nantes\, France.
\n
\nHenke’s interest in the combinat
ion of art and technology is further evident in his contributions to the de
velopment of the music software 'Ableton Live'. For more than a decade sinc
e Ableton’s founding in 1999\, he has been central to the development of Li
ve\, which became the standard tool for electronic music production and com
pletely redefined the performance practice of electronic music.
\n
\nHenke
also writes and lectures about sound and the creative use of computers\, an
d holds a professorship in sound design at the Berlin University of Arts.
\
n
\nFor 2013 he has been selected as Mohr Visiting Artist at the music depa
rtment of Stanford University\, where he will be teaching a class in comput
er music composition and performance.

hij verschillende genres.

\n
\n
\nJoin us Friday 7 December for an excit
ing concert of new improvised electronic music. Featuring three performance
s by artists running the gamut of electronic improvised practice.
\n
\nJapa
nese instrument designer and composer Chikashi Miyama will present works co
mbining electronic composition\, abstract video\, and performance on his se
lf-made instruments the Peacock and Qgo. Chikashi is well-known throughout
the new instruments scene for his ecstatic live performances.

n for Qgo and Live Video (2012)
\n
\nWe're also very happy to welcome Londo
n/Berlin-based artist Martin Howse to perform at STEIM for the first time.
His performances take a highly personal\, poetic approach to noise through
a bricolage of self-made devices and scientific mechanisms\, chemical react
ions\, and electromagnetic phantoms.
\n
\nFinally\, trio-turned-duo electro
nic improvisation outfit bicycle day will be joining us from Istanbul for a
n unpredictable set mixing up ambient soundscapes\, art rock\, and free imp
rovisation.
\n
\nIt's going to be a blast. Don't miss it!

____REMOTION____
\nBy: Tim Bijnen &\; Bram van
der Hoeven
\nYou enter a room with in the middle a big red button.

\nThe
room reacts on your actions\, but can you also react on the room?

\n____CONSCIOUS_THE_UNCONSCIOUS____
\nBy: Alex Dijk
\n
When we talk we are not conscious of our voice\, when we look we are not co
nscious of the light\, and as we walk we are not conscious of our shadow. S
ubconscious is the shadow of our ego that controls the way we perceive real
ity. So take this chance to become conscious of the unconscious.

\nAll right\, analog is dead. The computer and smartph
one are gaining ground every day. And before we notice another specie is ex
tinct: the incandescent light bulb. Pretty soon the CFL will be the only op

Let us bring a tribute to the old fashioned light bulb that\, for decades\,
brought a warm atmosphere to come home to each day.

\nThe eye is the window to the soul. Our world\,

Machines become more human and humans are augmented by technology as the t

\nMET WERK VAN...
\n
\n____TWISTED_SOUNDS____
\nDoor: Luc
Vermeulen &\; Maarten Houdijk
\nTwisted Sounds is een project gebaseerd
op het spel Twister. Een of twee spelers genereren door middel van een twi
stermat klanken. Elke speler bestuurt zijn eigen instrument door verschille
nde uitdagende posities op de twistermat aan te nemen.
\n
\n___
_AUDIOTOPE____
\nDoor: Jerre van der Hulst &\; Eduard van
Dommelen
\nEen gemeenschap van insecten die alleen bestaan in licht en gelu
id leeft en evolueert in hun eigen dorpje. Daarnaast ligt uitnodigend een v
liegenmepper. Wie voelt zich geroepen te spelen met dit biosysteem? Doodmak
en is makkelijk\, maar misschien kan iemand er wel voor zorgen dat er iets
interessants ontstaat.
\n
\n____REMOTION____
\nDo
or: Tim Bijnen &\; Bram van der Hoeven
\nJe komt een kamer binnen\, en i
n het midden staat een rode knop.
\nDruk je de knop zomaar in\, of probeer
je er eerst achter te komen wat de kamer van jou wil? De kamer reageert op
wat jij doet\, maar hoe reageer jij op wat de kamer doet?
\n
\n
____BEWUST_HET_ONBEUWSTE____
\nDoor: Alex Dijk
\nAls we prate
n zijn we niet bewust van onze stem\, als we kijken niet van het licht\, al
s we lopen niet van onze schaduw. Het onbewuste is de schaduw van onze ego
die controle heeft over hoe wij de realiteit ervaren. Hier een unieke kans
bewust te worden van het onbewuste.
\n
\n____GLOEIENDE_GLOEIEND
E!____
\nDoor: Roeland van den Beemd &\; Robin Taal
\nOk\,
analoog is dood. De computer en smartphone winnen iedere dag terrein. En v
oor we het doorhebben is er weer een soort uitgestorven: de gloeilamp. Als
de Nederlandse gloeilampschappen leeg zijn\, gaan we over naar de efficient
ere spaarlamp. Evolutie of devolutie? Laten we in ieder geval nog eenmaal e
en eerbetoon brengen aan de gloeilamp. Die toch decennia lang sfeer bracht
in onze huizen.
\n
\n____EXOCORTEX____
\nDoor: Gl
eb Foulga
\nEen commentaar op transhumanisme en cyber-punk cultuur.
\nHet o
og is het venster van de ziel. Terwijl we de technologische singulariteit n
aderen veranderen onze wereld\, lichamen en zielen. Machines worden menseli
jker en mensen worden aangepast met behulp van technologie tot de twee same
nsmelten.
\n"EXOCORTEX" is een performance van Gleb Foulga waarin deze conc
epten worden onderzocht terwijl het oog zich beweegt door de sonische fasen
van deze grauwe\, maar onvermijdelijke realiteit.

icipants in the composition of audiotours. Audiotours are site-specific sou
ndscapes that tell a unique perspective of a place.
\n
\nWithin the worksho
p everyone will develop a concept for their own audiotour (having a startin
g idea in advance is highly recommended!). From there we will compose our a
udiotours.
\n
\nThe workshop will take place over two sessions a week apart
. The first session will be on 19 January. After this each participant will
have a week to create a 5-10 minute audiotour\, which is composed for a ro
ute or space in the same environment. The group will then reconvene on 26 J
anuary to collectively reflect upon the recordings. The audiotours and sour
ce recordings will be shared on soudcloud in the 'Het Geluid van Nederland'
-archive and sustainably preserved.

Participants are also responsible for b ringing a pair of headphones and a laptop with sound software that they are familiar with. Robert will be mainly demonstrating techniques using Ableto n Live and Max\, but the techniques used will be generally applicable to an y multi-track sound production software. \n \n \; \nTEACHER // \nRobert Henke\, born in Munich\, Germany\, builds and operates machines to create art. \n \nHe pairs archaic concepts with computer science in order to explo re new aesthetic territories between composition\, performance and installa tion. The creation of his own instruments and tools and the results of usin g them are two sides of the same artistic process. \n \nHis art is focused on carefully shaped textural details and gradual changes of repeating struc tures in different time scales. It is also about volume\, power and impact\ , the tension between silence and noise\, and about the exploration of real and virtual audio visual spaces. \n \nHenke is a pioneer of multichannel s ound\, using systems like wave field synthesis and ambisonics to create sit uations of total immersion\, expanding the sonic experience of his performa nces beyond of what can be reproduced in stereo. \nAlthough mainly known fo r his musical output\, Henke is also working in the field of installation\, both sound based and audio-visual.

For more than a decade si nce Ableton’s founding in 1999\, he has been central to the development of Live\, which became the standard tool for electronic music production and c ompletely redefined the performance practice of electronic music. \n \nHenk e also writes and lectures about sound and the creative use of computers\, and holds a professorship in sound design at the Berlin University of Arts. \n \nFor 2013 he has been selected as Mohr Visiting Artist at the music de partment of Stanford University\, where he will be teaching a class in comp uter music composition and performance. \n \nhttp://www.monolake.de/ X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:THIS WORKSHOP IS FULLY BOOKED. \n \nSTEIM\, in partnership with the Geluid van Nederland project\, presents a series of workshops addressing the creation\, consumption\, and reappropriation of f ield recordings. \n \nFor this second workshop we welcome electronic musici an\, producer\, and sound artist Robert Henke (Monolake) back to S TEIM to give a 3-day workshop on the technical aspects of field recording\, from capturing sound\, to production and performance. \n \nThe Geluid van Nederland website contains an archive of geocoded field r ecordings already collected as part of the Geluid van Nederland project. We encourage participants to add their own recordings from the workshop to th is archive\, and also to use recordings from the archive as part of their p rojects. The entire Geluid van Nederland archive is open for free creative use and will remain sustainably preserved as it grows. \n \nDat es: Nov 29 - Dec 1\, 2012 \nTime: 10:00 - 15:00 each day \nCost: €35 (cover s all three days) \nLocation: STEIM\, Achtergracht 19\, 1017WL Amsterdam \n Maximum Participants: 15 \n \nThe workshop will have a strong focus on using field recordings as source material for further processing. The workshop will include a group field recording session through the city of Amsterdam. At the end of the workshop participants will have the opport unity to present their work in the context of a concert in the evening. \n \nSome topics Robert will cover include: \n \nRecording: \n- what to re cord and with which intention? ( aesthetic considerations ) \n- how to reco rd ( technical considerations ) \n- mono\, stereo\, multichannel \n \n Editing: \n- how to create meaning and narration ( aesthetic ) \n- simple p rocessing of sounds for enhanced results ( technical and aesthetic) \n \nAd vanced Processing: \n- using field recordings as source material for sampli ng\, re-synthesis\, granular synthesis etc.. \n \nDiffusion\, Playback\, Pe rformance\, Installation: \n- how to present field recording based works? \ n- how to work with multiple channels of audio \n- speaker placement and se lection \n- real time manipulation \n \n \; \nWHAT TO BRING //
\nParticipants must bring their own field recording equipment (portable so und recorder\, microphones\, etc..). Participants are also responsible for bringing a pair of headphones and a laptop with sound software that they ar e familiar with. Robert will be mainly demonstrating techniques using Ablet on Live and Max\, but the techniques used will be generally applicable to a ny multi-track sound production software. \n \n \; \nTEACHER //
\nRobert Henke\, born in Munich\, Germany\, builds and o perates machines to create art. \n \nHe pairs archaic concepts with compute r science in order to explore new aesthetic territories between composition \, performance and installation . The creation of his own instruments and tools and the results of using th em are two sides of the same artistic process. \n \nHis art is focused on c arefully shaped textural details and gradual changes of repeating structure s in different time scales. It is also about volume\, power and impact\, th e tension between silence and noise\, and about the exploration of real and virtual audio visual spaces. \n \nHenke is a pioneer of multichannel sound \, using systems like wa ve field synthesis and ambisonics to create situations of total immersi on\, expanding the sonic experience of his performances beyond of what can be reproduced in s tereo. \nAlthough mainly known for his musical output\, Henke is also working in the field of installation \, both sound based and audio-visual.

\nElisabeth Esselink (alias Solex) &\; Truus de Groot hebben e

\nDe liedjes zijn gebaseerd op traditionele sprookjes die dan\, net
als de toegepaste instrumenten\, worden vervormd.
\nJe kunt dit zien als b

\nElisabeth Esselink
(alias Solex) &\; Truus de Groot hebben een reeks liedjes gemaakt\, mees
tal door middel van het uitwisselen van digitale files waarbij ze gebruik m
aken van geselecteerde\, gebruikelijke instrumenten\, een grote verscheiden
heid aan 'sample loops' en natuurlijkl hun stemmen.
\nDe liedjes zijn gebas
eerd op traditionele sprookjes die dan\, net als de toegepaste instrumenten
\, worden vervormd.
\nJe kunt dit zien als bruikbaar gereedschap voor ontwi
kkeling en vooral plezier voor kinderen van alle leeftijden.
\nOp dit momen
t proberen Elisabeth &\; Truus te besluiten hoe ze verder willen met dit
project. Het zou een musical kunnen worden\, mogelijk begeleid door een bo
ek of beeldend materiaal...dat is nog niet zeker.

\n
\nThis workshop is a

spaces. We will spend two days exploring the city of Amsterdam through the
practice of Soundstorming\, a direct exploratory method for fast prototypi
ng of outdoor sonic interventions.

\n
\n
\nSoundstorming is the invention of artist Davide Tidoni\, who recen
tly won an honorable mention at Ars Electronica for his work A Balloon for
Linz. Similar to the process of brainstorming\, the pretext of Soundstormin
g is to provide a freewheeling context in which we may explore different li
stening modes and develop site specific installations and interventions.
\n
\nSoundstormers stop the walk and intervene whenever they find an interest
ing site/context. A sensitive ear\, critical awareness\, and sound producin
g / recording devices constitute each soundstormer's basic toolkit.
\n
\nDu
ring the soundstorming walk we will pay particular attention to the body as
a whole sensory being and as a political subject. We will conduct situated
listening activities for developing individual sensitivity to the nature o
f the city\, as well as develop approaches for investigating specific socia
l-cultural contexts and notions of public and private.
\n
\nAt the end of t
he 2 days\, participants will critically present his/her documentation and
the experiential data gathered during the exploration with the group.

\nWHAT TO BRING / PREPARE
\nParticipants must br
ing along their own sound-making devices for use in outdoor installations a
nd interventions. Any kind of old or new media equipment is welcome. Good e
xamples are bent electronics\, found radios\, small speakers\, megaphones\,
mp3 players\, microphones\, tape recorders and so on. We highly recommend
looking for some sound equipment on Queensday\, or attending the REWIRE Que
ensday circuit bending workshop in order to prepare some sound making devic
es.
\n
\nThings also useful to bring are: a swiss army knife\, waterproof c
lothes\, heavy shoes\, water and food. Remember that you must carry what yo
u bring. We'll be in the city most of the day\, so do not load your backpac
k too much.
\nWORKSHOP LEADER
\nWith a particular emphasis on listening mod
es and sound-space relations Davide Tidoni (IT) realizes a variety of works

\n
\n
\n
\
nNew York based artist Phillip Stearns first came to STEIM 5 years ago as p
art of the CalArts Exchange\, and impressed us with his mad soldering skill
s and tireless effort to build his analog neural-network sculpture AANN. 3
years later\, he returned as a member of the MLB project and blew us away w
ith his bio-feedback strobic analog synth performance. In the meantime\, he
has become a prolific media artist creating a body of work ranging from in
stallations\, video\, performance\, and textiles. We are excited to see wha
t he brings us this time.
\n
\nSupporting the night is a duo by our favorit
e live-sampling beat pilot Tok Tek and glitch-VJ MNK (check out their perfo
rmance here)\, and STEIM’s own Jon Reus premiering his new piece that disse
cts vintage digital hardware.
\n

\n
\nARTIST BIOGRAPHIES —
—————–
\nPhillip Stearns creates at the intersection of art\, philosophy\,
and science\, drawing upon a variety of disciplines including sound install
ation\, music performance and composition\, video\, circuit sculpture\, pho
tography\, and conceptual art. Deconstruction\, dissection\, and reconfigur
ation are methods he commonly employs in his hands-on approach to creating
works with materials ranging from electronic objects\, biological systems\,
images\, light\, video\, and sound. His work has been exhibited internatio
nally at electronics arts festivals\, museums\, and galleries including: Ha
rvestworks (2010 NYC)\; Gli.tc/H (2010 Chicago\, IL)\; Festival De Arte Dig
ital (2010 Belo Horizonte\, Brazil)\; FILE (2009 Sao Paulo\, Brazil)\; NIME
(2009 Pittsburgh\, PA)\; Filmer La Musique (2009 Paris\, France)\; FONLAD
(2009 Coimbra\, Portugal)\; Torrance Art Museum (2008\, 2007 Los Angeles\,
CA)\; Optica Film Festival (2011\, 2008 Spain). He has participated in resi
dencies at Museums Quartier (Vienna 2010)\, STEIM (Amsterdam 2007)\, Experi
mental Television Center (NY 2009)\, Harvestworks (NY 2010)\, is the curren
t AIRTime Fellow at Free103Point9 for the 2010-2011 cycle\, and curator for
the 8th annual Bent Festival (2011).

\n
\nToktek vs MNK is live audiovisual improvisation by Tom Verbruggen (T
oktek) and Karl Klomp (vj mnk). Their research deals with illogic audio / v
ideo hardware (circuit bending) in combination with max / atmel / Lisa prog
ramming and interfacing. Visual artist / musician Tom Verbruggen structures
unbridled clicks and cuts of his circuit bent gadgets and melodramatic tun
es into a fragile disturbance. Sampling with a joystick Tom creates unlogic
contrasts that will feed the video hardware of Karl Klomp. Modified second
hand (obsolete) hardware is tuned to create and interfere video on a fragil
e but aggresive way. With minimal animations and live generate ‘OSD glitch’
the signal gets carefully disturbed into a hyper dynamic oasis of disorder
\, all preformed very live.
\n
\nJonathan Reus is a Dutch/American artist w
orking with sound\, electronics and computing technologies. Drawing on infl
uences from noise\, minimalist techno\, and glitch\, he conducts live impro
vised experiments deconstructing the relationships we share with our ecosys
tems of machines and information. http://www.jonathanreus.com

SUMMARY:Digital Camera Mod Workshop w/Phillip Stearns
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/queensday-digital-camera-mods/":
Modify old digital cameras to make surreal dream machines
\n
\nIn this work
shop Brooklyn artist Phillip Stearns will guide you through the process of
interfacing digital circuits into the electronics of old digital cameras to
create beautiful controlled malfunctions.
\n
\nIn an open lab format we wi
ll dissect various specimens of digital cameras\, learn to identify the dif
ferent parts of the circuits and understand how to rewire them to induce co
ntrolled malfunctions. The primary technique we will use is circuit bending
\, which requires only a bit of courage and dexterity enough to handle smal
l screwdrivers\, manipulate bits of wire\, and operate a soldering iron.
\n
\nOnce we have covered basic techniques we will go into more advanced topi
cs such as circuit modification/augmentation\, the construction of digital
oscillators to interfere with the normal operation of the cameras\, and how
to use transistors to interface different electronic systems with the digi
tal processing chips of the camera. The main goal of the workshop is to dev
elop the basics skills necessary for continued individual exploration of di
gital image generating devices. Discussion on the relationship between tech
nology and the conceptualization of the body\, mind\, soul will take place
throughout.

\n
\nWHAT TO F
IND ON QUEENSDAY
\nFor this workshop you must bring one or more functional
digital cameras (sacrificial of course\, never circuit bend something you c
an't live without!). To be on the safe side we suggest you find at least tw
o cameras. The older 1 or 2 megapixel cameras work best for the types of mo
difications we'll be doing. Kodak\, Olympus\, Fujifilm\, Canon\, Sony\, and
Agfa cameras are all good choices.
\n
\nPlease bring a laptop if you have
one\, along with any spare memory cards or memory card readers you can find
.
\n
\nAlso\, it would be helpful (but not absolutely necessary) to bring a
ny tools you are fond of using. Cutters\, pliers\, strippers\, and especial
ly precision screw drivers for opening up the cameras. We'll have a few ava
ilable but it's always nice to have your own. Circuit components will be pr
ovided at the workshop.
\n
\nNo knowledge of electronics is necessary to pa
rticipate in this workshop. Phillip will teach you everything you need to k
now.

\nULT
RA -short for “Ultramodernen” – is the collective name for a group of Dutch
bands and artists who were involved in one of the great experimental waves
in pop history\, that of 1979 – 83. ULTRA was responsible for the creation
of some of the greatest post-punk experimental pop in Europe\; a sound tha
t saw musicians and artists of all kinds grabbing the directness\, energy a

hnological innovations\, as well as sifting parallel ideas from jazz and mo

SUMMARY:Circuitbending with Found Electronics
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/queensday-circuitbending-worksho
p/":Absolute beginners introduction to circuitbending. Bring in your Queens
day finds and learn the essentials of hacking found electronics.
\n
\nIn th
is workshop you'll learn hands-on the basics of circuit bending. Bring in y
our Queensday finds (at least two electronic devices!)\, open them up\, and
search for modifications using the techniques of circuit bending. The work
shop will be held over a single day in an open lab format with explanations
\, demos\, and one-on-one attention. All the necessary tools and electronic
components except for batteries will be provided.
\n
\nCircuit bending is
an artistic approach to electronics. Meaning that no formal engineering tra
ining is necessary. Instead we'll use intuition and curiosity as our guide.
Success is determined directly by the pleasure of the sounds one discovers
\, no matter how one might have arrived at those results. The main goal of
the workshop is to get everyone comfortable working creatively with found e
lectronics. By the end of the workshop everyone will walk away with a newly
bent instrument or device.
\n
\nSome topics we will cover include:
\n
\n\t
Enough electronics basics to get you opening up electronic gadgets without
fear
\n\tUnderstanding the essential tools of circuit bending
\n\tBasic cir
cuit modifications using common electronic components and controls

\n
\nWHAT TO FIND ON QUEE
NSDAY
\n
\nEveryone attending should bring AT LEAST two electronic devices
to be bent. The more the better. Circuit bending is an inexact science\, an
d every once in a while you'll completely fry a device while attempting a d
ifficult bend. The devices MUST run on batteries at a low voltage (hacking
electronics connected to mains power can be lethal!). Batteries will not be
provided\, so please bring adequately fresh batteries to power your electr
onics.
\n
\nSome classic circuit bending devices are:
\n
\n- Radios (especi
ally older ones.. especially those big battery-powered 80's boom boxes!)
\n
\n- Tape players/recorders (Sony Walkman etc..)
\n
\n- Keyboards (Casio\,
Yamaha)
\n
\n- Sound making toys (Speak and Spell\, early-model Furby)
\n
\
nThe tendency in consumer electronics over the last years has been to make
things smaller and smaller - hence harder to hack and modify! Try to dig up
things from the 80's or early 90's\, or even older if you get so lucky! Do
n't be afraid to turn them on and see what kinds of sounds they make before
buying them.
\n
\nIf you would like to bring an enclosure for your electro
nics that's also a nice idea. Often times the original casing of the device
is too small to fit all your modifications in\, and needs to be transplant
ed into a new body. VHS tape cases and cigar boxes are marvelous candidates
.
\n
\nWe will provide all the tools and components for modifying your devi
ces. At the end of the workshop we ask that you pay for the parts that you
used for your project (you can expect this cost to be somewhere between €5
and €15 depending on what you use).
\n
\nOnce again\, no knowledge of elect
ronics is necessary to participate in this workshop. We'll teach you what y
ou need to know!
\nWORKSHOP LEADERS
\n
\nThe lab will be led by STEIM staff
along with invited guests. Including but not limited to:

SUMMARY:Net Acoustics –\; Global echoes and local resonances
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/net-acoustics/":Global echoes an
d local resonances
\n
\nIn this workshop artists Jamie Allen and Bernhard G
arnicnig will lead explorations in the acoustic potentials of the physical
and networked spaces where we spend our days.
\n
\nNetworks\, whatever else
they are\, are sites of rhythmic\, pulsating transfer and reception of sig
nals. These networks have resolutely become the material ‘spaces’ where liv
es are lead\, work gets done and social structures emerge. Although informe
d by the mechanics and material-genealogies of sound making and formats for
sound-packaging\, the world wide web remains a “space” without acoustics.
\n
\nAs a material history\, we might consider the first use of terms such
as “channel” to describe audio routing in the acoustic panopticon designs o
f Athanasius Kircher. As a contemporary environment\, we might consider the
internet as an incompletely realized and experienced space\, with an unrea
lized sonic potential. Sound is architecture\, the internet a space - the a
udible can help us understand these new spaces.
\n
\nWe liken network syste
ms to an acoustic environment\, complexes of echoes bouncing and re-boundin
g from transmitter to receiver and back again. At either end of this conflu
ence\, exists a physical end-point\, conceived and actualized variously as
a data-structure\, a terminal\, a node or a human being. These dynamics are
afforded through the matter of a network.

\nWORKSHOP LEADERS
\n
\nJamie Allen likes to make things with his he
ad and hands. Born in Windsor\, Ontario\, Canada\, he is an artist and res
earcher. He make installed and performance work with audio\, video and ele
ctronics. His work has been shown internationally – from Eyebeam in New Yo
rk City to the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology in Liverpool\, to
SIGGRAPH Asia in Yokohama\, Japan. He also likes teaching art and design
with technology to other people and hopes that his approach and projects gi
ve people access to the most humane\, straightforward and droll aspects of
the most complex\, incomprehensible of technical structures.

\n
\nBernhard Garnicnig makes projects in a field ci
rcumscribed by art\, spaces\, sound and technology. In his research-based p
ractice he establishes networked\, social\, institutional\, conceptual\, te
chnological\, sculptural and audiovisual space-time constellations. These c
an be observed in physical exhibitions\, workshops\, performances and on th
e internet. He recently founded the “Agentur für Agency” and the “Office fo
r Applied Futurology”. He holds a MA in Digital Arts from the University fo
r Applied Arts Vienna (Prof.Peter Weibel). Further studies at the Academy o
f Fine Arts Vienna and Piet Zwart Institute Rotterdam. He lives and works i
n situ and online.

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Global e
choes and local resonances
\n
\nIn this workshop artists Jami
e Allen and Bernhard Garnicnig will lead explorations in the acoustic poten
tials of the physical and networked spaces where we spend our days.
\n
\nNe
tworks\, whatever else they are\, are sites of rhythmic\, pulsating transfe
r and reception of signals. These networks have resolutely become the mater
ial ‘spaces’ where lives are lead\, work gets done and social structures em
erge. Although informed by the mechanics and material-genealogies of sound
making and formats for sound-packaging\, the world wide web remains a “spac
e” without acoustics.
\n
\nAs a material history\, we might consider the fi
rst use of terms such as “channel” to describe audio routing in the acousti
c panopticon designs of Athanasius Kircher. As a contemporary environment\,
we might consider the internet as an incompletely realized and experienced
space\, with an unrealized sonic potential. Sound is architecture\, the in
ternet a space - the audible can help us understand these new spaces.
\n
\n
We liken network systems to an acoustic environment\, complexes of echoes b
ouncing and re-bounding from transmitter to receiver and back again. At eit
her end of this confluence\, exists a physical end-point\, conceived and ac
tualized variously as a data-structure\, a terminal\, a node or a human bei
ng. These dynamics are afforded through the matter of a network.

l music underground syndicate. Coming straight out of Kunming (YunNan regio

cal dialect. They travel outside of China for the first time to shoot the l
ast scene in their documentary Say Sing at the Cinemasia Festival\, directe
d by Taiwanese music producer Kuang Chong Yu. Inner Science has been creati
ng a sophisticated but beautiful kind of beat music since the late 90's. Al
though he has been recognized as one of the most talented producers coming
from the underground post hip-hop scene\, this will be his first European a
ppearance. Mind twisting local Terugklap and dj sniff support the evening w
ith analog vs digital duo Margarita Osipian &\; Caetano Carvalho providi

\n
\nXi Sha
n / Westhill
\nWest Hill (Xi Shan) is a rap group coming straight out of Yu
n Nan region. They chose the protest genre of rap/hip hop as their creative
vehicle to express the harsh realities of life\, measuring up cool grooves
\, incorporating traditional instruments into their sound pool\, they laced
their lyrics with humor\, satire and side swipe digs at a wide range of to
pics\; social\, emotional and controversial. Most uniquely\, they rap in th
eir own Kunming dialect. They recorded several demo tracks looking for a re
cord deal but were ignored by all the record companies due to its ‘provocat
ive’ nature then Kuang Chong Yu\, a well known Taiwanese song lyrist and pr
oducer discovered them in 2007. Knowing enough about the market\, Yu decide
d to follow the boys' lives not only to bring the band's story to the atten
tion of the world in order for them to gain their due respect in China but
also to realize his long delayed dream to make a film instead of chasing af
ter less promising record deal.
\nAfter 4 years of working on the film\, th
ey found a chance to introduce the true story of the Chinese hiphop band to
the audiences outside China while the boys will have performances for the
first time abroad. The documentary will be screened as a rough cut while th
e screening of the film itself as well as the band's performances will be s
hot and used as the ending scenes of the finally completed film. What could
be more unique experience than to watch the unfinished documentary about C
hinese hiphopers\, see the live performances by the subjects of the film an
d be part of the film by being there with them?
\n
\nThen well known Taiwan
ese A&\;R person\, song lyrist and producer Kuang Chong Yu discovered th
em in 2007. Yu understood the band's credibility\, recognized their true cr
eative agenda and decided that he needed to bring the band's story to the a
ttention of the world in order for them to gain their due respect in China.
Across the last few months of 2008 and February 2009\, Yu spent the entire
period working with the band\, shooting endless reels of HD film footage a
nd now\, with over 44 hours of usable film impressions as well as a 15 trac
k CD\, the real journey for the band and Yu has just began. In the pipeline
there are 5 music clips\, a dozen of so YouTube show-reels and\, most impo
rtantly\, a compelling feature length documentary about the band\; "Say Sin
g"\, all of which are now being spliced together in a Taipei editing suite.
\nListen to their album.
\n
\n
\n
\nInner Science is the alias of project by
Tokyo based producer Masumi Nishimura. Early on in his career he was invol
ved in the so-called Japanese Hip Hop scene\, but since the 00s he departed
from narrowly defined Hip Hop and starting making instrumental electronic
music. Merging beautiful melodies and fat beats\, INNER SCIENCE draws unpre
cedented attention in Japan and overseas.
\nListen to his new album
\n
\nAmsterda
m based Terugklap creates unpredictable beats and breaks taking influences
from hip-hop\, house\, bass-music to household kitchenware and gardening to
ols. He has released a handful of releases from Clone Records and Lomechani
k. His carefully composed chaos will twist your mind but keep your body mov
ing. Listen to his music.
\n
\nCaetano Carvalho is originally from Sao Paolo\, Brazil where he worked as
a designer and art director. He earned a professional degree in Computer S
cience and traveled as a freelancer between several countries in Europe. He
is now a final year student at the Audiovisual Department of the GRA. Expe
rienced with digital culture and advertising\, he has a unique insiders vie
w into the way our information society works. He is also a talented musicia
n\, experimenting with various analog machines to create raw\, noise-influe
nced soundscapes.
\n
\nMargarita Osipian is a slightly scattered artist liv
ing and working in Amsterdam. A little nervous about the digital realm\, sh
e works mainly with analog technology (like overhead projectors) and collab
orates with local musicians doing live visuals for their performances.
\n
\
nThe first hip-hop show dj sniff went to was Cypress Hill and Funkdoobiest
Japan tour '93. He didn't know what all the green leaves meant back then.

He launched his career as a visual artis t in the late '80s\, and in '98 began presenting sound performances at art exhibitions and so on. Ito made use of fluorescent lighting (which is also an element of his art installations) in the creation of an original musical device called the optron. He continues to refine the instrument while appr oaching sound and music from a contemporary-art-based perspective. In addit ion to his solo exhibition and performance projects\, Ito is active in a nu mber of musical units. One of these is Optrum\, the explosively loud "extre me optical noise core band" consisting of Ito and drummer Yoichiro Shin. Be tween 2000 and 2005 Ito presented various sound (music)/visual image-relate d events at Off Site\, the now-defunct gallery/free space in Yoyogi\, Tokyo . The Optrum album Recorded was released in June 2006 on the label Unknownm ix (Headz). \n \n \n \nBorn in 1978\, Christine Abdelnour lives in France but is of Lebanese origin. After discovering improv ised music in 1997 she began a process of self-taught study and sound exper imentation using the alto saxophone. \nShe has developed a unique personal language\, producing sounds that are close to those of electroacoustic musi c but on a purely acoustic instrument. \nShe approaches sound as a malleabl e material\, rich in concrete textures which combine breath\, silence and c ountless acoustic distortions. She has developed extended techniques and co mplex patterns of sound production\, exploring the microtonal aspects of th e saxophone and its high-pitched tones. She employs subtle tonguing techniq ues\, unpitched breaths\, spittle-flecked growls\, biting\, slicing notes a nd breathy echoing sounds from the bell of her horn. Far from any narrative effects\, her music addresses the relation between listening and concepts of perception\, time and space. \n \nAndy Moor was born in London in 1962. He began his musical life in Edinburgh\, Scotland playing guitar with the band Dog Faced Hermans\, a multi faceted eclectic group tha t mixed energetic post punk energy with traditional tunes and improvisation s…. In 1990 he moved to the Netherlands after an invitation to join Dutch b and The Ex and continues to be a full time member of this band….the openess and versatility of the musicians in this group has brought them intocontac t with many musicians from different scenes and backgrounds..including Tom Cora(cello)\, Han Bennink(drums)\, Wolter Wierbos(trombone)\, Djibril Diaba te (kora) John Butcher (sax) and Anne james Chaton (sound poet). \n \n

Classical Arab music as interpreted by a range of musicians and sound artis
ts. Owned by Lebanese collector Kamal Kassar the collection is comprised of
old 78 rpm shellac discs and studio tapes dating between 1903 and 1950\, l
argely covering the Arab renaissance period that began in the early 19th ce
ntury. Produced by Sharjah Art Foundation\, this performance follows last a
utumn’s New York premiere of Atoui’s Visiting Tarab as a Performa Commissio
n with the Sharjah Art Foundation. Conceived as a series of performances th
e audience is welcome any time between 8:15pm and 2:00am.

\n
\nInvention and interaction design workshop
with CCRMA researchers
\n
\n
\nThis is an in-depth course in physical inte
raction design led by researchers Edgar Berdahl and Florian Goltz. In this
workshop we will explore the essential notions of interactive art and inven
tion through working with small embeddable computers (the open\, DIY-friend
ly Beagle Board). These small computers combine the connectivity of a lapto
p with the computational power of a high-end smartphone\; however they are
less expensive than either and fit inside a cigar box. We will dedicate muc
h of the workshop to prototyping new functional artworks\, for example: mus
ical instruments\, effects processors\, interactive installation works\, an
d anything else you can imagine that requires high computational power in a
small\, inexpensive footprint.
\n
\nIn the broader sense this workshop dea
ls with interaction design: What happens when human behaviours meet those o
f machines? How do the devices we use determine the style of interaction? H
ow do we design for the limitations of human performance and the affordance
s of machines? A key component of this workshop will be learning about the
process of making something that interacts with the real world. We will cov
er the topic of physical interaction design in depth\, using the physical i
nteraction design framework developed by Bill Verplank as a fundamental app
roach.
\n
\n \;
\n
\n
\n
\n \;
\n
\nSpecific topics we will cover i
nclude:
\n
\n\tThe core perspectives of physical interaction design: idea\,
metaphor\, model\, display\, error\, scenario\, tasks\, and control
\n\tEx
ercises in invention\, brainstorming and sketching
\n\tA survey of existing
controllers and interactive music practices
\n\tEmbedded\, open computing
with Linux and the Beagle Board
\n\tSensor technologies (force-sensitive\,
capacitive\, optical\, and acceleration) and the design of custom DIY senso
rs using conductive and piezoelectric fabrics
\n\tApplications of sensors a
nd electronics to real-time music
\n\tProgramming music synthesis and effec
ts with PureData
\n\tInterfacing sensors with the Beagle Board using the Ar
duino Nano

\nDates: 11 - 15 June \, 2012
\nTime: 10:00 – 19:00 each day with lun
ch break
\nLocation: STEIM\, Achtergracht 19\, 1017WL Amsterdam
\nCost: €30
0 registration + cost of workshop kit *(see below)
\nFor those traveling fr
om abroad\, STEIM has available a number of rooms in our artist hotel for a
discounted rate. Please contact us directly by email if you are interested
in reserving one of these rooms.

\n
\n
\n
\nThe Beagle Boa
rd at the heart of our creations will be running Satellite CCRMA\, a specia
l flavor of the Linux operating system developed at Stanford University. In
cluded in Satellite CCRMA is PureData\, a widely-used open-source visual pr
ogramming language for real-time sound synthesis and processing. We'll be u
sing PureData for most of the programming of sound and interaction on our d
evices.
\n
\nThe workshop is intended for musicians or composers\, makers\,
engineers\, industrial designers\, or anybody looking to learn more about
interaction design with basic analog and digital electronics. Please see th
e Physical Interaction Design for Music course taught at Stanford Universit
y for more information.
\n
\n \;
\n
\n* We will provide workshop kits c
ontaining all the necessary hardware (BeagleBoard\, Arduino Nano\, breadboa
rd\, sensors\, and components). The kits can then be purchased and taken ho
me at the end of the workshop after you have built your prototypes. Thanks
to a generous donation of components by the FLORIS.CC webshop we are able t
o sell the kits for €165. The price of the kits may come down even further
as we seek out additional sponsors.
\n
\n \;
\nWHAT TO BRING / PREPARE
\nEach participant must bring a Max OS X\, Linux\, or Windows laptop. A pai
r of headphones with a stereo minijack connector. And a willingness to expe
riment and invent! To save time\, we ask that Windows users pre-install Cyg
win in advance of the workshop so that openssh\, xinit\, and the “required”
packages are all available.
\n
\nEven though we'll be focusing on using Pu
reData\, any Linux-compatible synthesis software *should* theoretically run
on the BeagleBoard. If you're interested in using something other than PD
please let us know beforehand so we can prepare.
\n
\nYou should have some
programming know-how (for example: MaxMSP\, Javascript\, or Python) for thi
s workshop\, though you certainly don't need to be an expert. We will be pr
oviding numerous examples to get you off the ground.
\n
\nThe kits can be u
sed for prototyping new kinds of effects boxes (for instance\, for guitar).
If you are interested in creating a programmable effects box then please e
mail the workshop leaders in advance so we can provide a 1/4" guitar cable
connector for you.

\nWORKSHOP LEADERS
\nEdgar Berdahl is
the lead developer of the Satellite CCRMA platform for developing new musi
cal instruments and sound art installations. Edgar received his PhD at CCRM
A\, Stanford University in the area of new musical instrument design. His
research now spans the interdisciplinary fields of new media art\, haptics\
, force-feedback control\, acoustics\, actuated musical instruments\, physi
cal modeling\, physical interaction design\, and Autonomous New Media Artef
acts (AutoNMA). Edgar is the inventor of the haptic drum\, which enables a
musician to make gestures that would otherwise be difficult or impossible\
, and in general he aims to make new digital interactions seem more analog.
\n
\nFlorian Goltz is an artist and engineer living in Berlin who designs
sound art installations. Florian received a master's degree in Communicatio
n Science and Technical Acoustics from the Technical University of Berlin\,
where he worked extensively with Arduino\, Linux\, Pure Data (pd)\, and Su

LING TIME
DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="http://steim.org/event/sonic-acts-in-collaboration-with
-steim-sonic-acts-travelling-time/":
\n
\nThe bi-annual Sonic Acts Festival
showcasing works at the cutting edge of art\, technology\, music and scien
ce will be held in Amsterdam from 23 to 26 February 2012. Over a period of
four days Sonic Acts presents Travelling Time\, an ode to the human experie
nce of time. The festival takes place at seven different locations: the Par
adiso\, De Balie\, Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ\, NIMk\, SMART Project Space\, ST
EIM and Temporary Stedelijk 3.

\n
\nThe fe
stival theme
\nTime is a complex and ambiguous concept. Relativity theorist
s and quantum mechanics have tinkered with the seemingly unambiguous concep
t of time since the beginning of the previous century. Art\, film and music
make abstract notions of time tangible and comprehensible\, and manipulate
how we experience it. The ongoing development and implementation of techno
logy constantly challenge\, change and undermine our perception of time. Co
mmunication networks function at the speed of light\, and computers process
data in real time\, without human intervention. The rapid advances in tech
nology are creating a gap between ‘machine time’ and ‘human time’. Travelli
ng Time is a quest to reveal the significance and the intricacies of time a
nd how we experience it.
\n
\nTravelling Time examines the need for speed w
hen performing improvised music\, and the unavoidable amount of time that i
s spent programming or constructing an artwork\, as well as time travel and
how art can be a vehicle for imaginary journeys. The four-day festival bri
ms with performances\, lectures\, exhibitions and presentations that intens
ify the experience of time.
\n
\nLive Performances
\nA series of performanc
es in SMART Project Space by Catherine Christer Hennix + The Choras(s)an Ti
me-Court Mirage (including Amelia Cuni\, Robin Hayward\, Franz Hautzinger\,
Hillary Jeffery and Paul Schwingenschlögl) promises to be a highpoint of t
he festival. Hennix’s post-minimal drones elaborate on La Monte Young’s con
cepts\, and attempt to halt our experience of time. The Paradiso forms the
heart of the performance programme\, with its numerous and surprising conce
rts\, performances\, film screenings and installations. The concert by the
American composer Pauline Oliveros\, the originator of Deep Listening and a
key figure in music of the past 50 years is not to be missed. She celebrat
es her 80th birthday in 2012 and comes to Amsterdam especially for Sonic Ac
ts.
\n
\nSynthesizer specialist Eleh\, who has released a split LP with Oli
veros\, will shroud the Paradiso in analogue drones on the same evening. Th
e music programme also includes cybernetic music by the composer Roland Kay
n\, who passed away last year\; post-dubstep performances by infra-sub spec
ialists Roly Porter and Emptyset\; radical asynchronous rhythms from Mark F
ell\; and process-based music by Keith Fullerton Whitman. Extensive attenti
on is also paid to music by Wandelweiser composers\, including Michael Pisa
ro and Taku Sugimoto\, who integrate silence in their works to intensify ou
r experience of time.
\n
\nConference
\nMusicians\, academics\, sound artis
ts and new media adepts will gather for the Sonic Acts conference that will
be held in De Balie from 23 to 26 February: four days of inspiration\, imm
ersion and discussions\, with numerous lectures\, presentations and intervi
ews that reveal how artists operate at the boundaries of art\, technology a
nd science. In addition to the musicians and artists such as Catherine Chri
ster Hennix\, Michael Pisaro\, Mark Fell and Pauline Oliveros mentioned abo
ve\, the conference is also an opportunity for academics and philosophers t
o share their thoughts and ideas. George Dyson – whose new book\, Turing’s
Cathedral\, will be published in early 2012 – talks about computer time\; S
iegfried Zielinski discusses his theories relating to Deep Time and Variant
ology\; Hillel Schwartz talks about noise and time – his 1000-page Making N
oise. From Babel to the Big Bang and Beyond has just been published\; John
Geiger discusses extreme mental and physical experiences\; and David Edgert
on dives into the history of technology and expounds on 'the Shock of the O
ld'.
\n
\nExhibition &\; films
\nThe exhibition continues until 15 April
2012 at NIMk and includes light and laser installations by Mark Fell and J
oe Gilmore\, Space Surrogate by Philip Lachenmann\, and much more. Also on
show is Paul Sharits’ installation Shutter Interface which has never been s
een in Europe before.
\n
\nNIMk\, Sonic Acts and STEIM are proud to announc
e the new joint Artist in Residence project City Velocities – Body Speed by
Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec. The installation will be presented as part of the
Sonic Acts – Travelling Time exhibition at NIMk from Februari 23 – April 1
5\, 2012.
