Hotpot Lab is back! For the first edition of 2011, current STEIM artist in resident Icarus will talk about their new album which will be different every version that is downloaded. Icarus's work is wonderfully complex and beautiful, but for their next release they take things further by building an unique API for Ableton via Max/MSP that will generate 1000 versions of each track of the album. We think this is an excellent contemporary example on how artists find creative inspiration to a new technology or distribution model while the industry panics. Joining the night is Pete Concrete - producer and founder of electronic music label Eat Concrete. Pete will talk about how his small scale label has gained international recognition through a focused curation and dedication to the music.
