\nMarco Donnarumma is a new media and so nic artist\, performer and teacher\, born in Italy and is based in London. Weaving a thread around biomedia research\, musical and theatrical performa nce\, participatory practices and subversive coding\, Marco looks at the co llision of critical creativity with humanized technologies. His biophysical system Xth Sense won the first prize in the Margaret Guthman Musical Instrument Competition and was named the 2012 “world’s most innovative new musical instrument” by the Georgia Te ch Center for Music Technology\, US. Recently\, he curated the publication Biotechnological Performance Practice (eContact!\, 14.2).
\nHe has performed at major arts events including (ISEA\, Venice
Biennale\, WRO Biennale)\, specialized festivals (FILE\, Panorama\, Sonorit
ies\, Némo\, Mapping\, Piksel\, Re-New\, Laboral\, EMAF) and major academic
conferences (NIME\, ICMC\, Pure Data Convention\, Linux Audio Conference@S
tanford CCRMA\, SICMF). His projects have been reviewed on BBC\, Reuters\,
Wired\, Create Digital Music\, We Make Money Not Art\, Rhizome\, Weave\, Di
gicult\, and appeared in the book “New Art/Science Affinities” (CMU and Stu
dio for Creative Enquiry\, US). He was artist in residence at STEIM (NL)\,
Inspace (UK)\, and the National School of Theatre and Contemporary Dance (D
K). His work has been funded by the European Commission\, British Council\,
Creative Scotland\, New Media Scotland\, and the Danish Arts Council. Curr
ently\, Marco is a ERC-funded PhD student for the Embodied Audio Visual Int
eraction (EAVI) Research Group at Goldsmiths University\, supervised by Pro
fessor Atau Tanaka.

\nSparr ows and Ortolans: Laetitia Sonami and James Fei
\nThis is the first tour of the collaboration between Laetitia Sonami and James Fe i. While the materials and techniques used by the two musicians are distinc tly different\, both employ tactile interface coupled with electronic syste ms that exhibit complex behavioral response. Sonami will introduce her new spring-based instrument (the Digital Spring Spyre). She constructed this ne w "instrument" around a web of springs whose vibrations are analyzed by neu ral networks (Rebecca Fiebrink's Wekinator). It exhibits particularly errat ic behaviors…. Fei's setup consists of a mix of vintage Buchla and self-con structed analog modules. The system is driven by multiple feedback loops\, often on the brink of instability. Signals are recursively routed through m icrophones\, spring reverb\, and between audio and control voltages. Circui t elements are also modified by touch\, integrating the non-linearities and the immediacy of the body with the electronic processes.

BLACKBOXed live at the SOUNDBUNKER: Sybren Danz an d Daniel Schorno
\nOver the past year STEIM's Sybren Danz ha s blown new life into the 1970's vintage 'Blackbox' modular synthesizer by restoring three of the four existing systems to their former glory. Togethe r with former STEIM artist and Soundbunker director Daniel Schorno they exp lore and introduce the new setup as much as other new additions in a series of short duo-performance-interventions.
\nAfter numerous unsurfaced compositions under aliases 'Devotion's Mould\; The Void' and 'Fatalist Vixe n Mission'\, Sybren Danz returns after a three ye ar silence since his last performance supporting Atari Teenage Riot at the Paradiso to do a couple of short sessions at the STEIM Soundbunker. A rare and unique opportunity to observe an animal in it's natural habitat.
\n< p>
\nUnder the alias 'zitegeist' Daniel Schorno travels the globe performing on eponymous analoge and digital vintage instruments. His musical noosphere is of razor edge sounds cut &\; cued from laser fast livesampling resynthesis and crackle light sculpting. Zitegeist has played alongside luminaries like dj sniff\, colla borated on 'noiseroom' with jan st werner and duo'ed with netochka nezvanov a. the soundbunker is a zitegeist project.

For this installation\, the opening scenes of “Radio Plays Itself”\, recorded primarily in the control room at Hörspiel studio a t Funkhaus Vienna\, are re-enacted in the control room of Studio #2 at STEI M.\nRaviv Ganchrow’s (1972) work focuses on interrelations between sound an d space\, aspects of which are explored through sound installations\, writi ng and the development of acoustic forming and vibration sensing technologi es. Recent installations directly engage the everyday acoustic environment\ , plumbing notions of 'place' that are constructed by way of frequency inte rdependencies between sound\, location and listener. He is currently engage d in a series of projects under the heading Listening Subjects that examine the contextual circuitry in sites of listening whereby audibility\, surrou ndings and subjectivity are conductive of one another. 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.\n\nRoman Stetina \nexhibition views:\n\nThe common motif of Roman Štětina's video-series STU DIO is the environment of an old radio broadcasting studio in Pilsen/Czech Republic. Roman’s main theme is sound itself – its recording and broadcasti ng. He does not consider sound recording as a mere auxiliary tool for docum entation but as a condition of an action. The listeners are thus subtly con fronted with their own readiness to believe that sound is a medium capable of recording the real world and that it is possible to hear things that we cannot normally hear. (Text:Michal Pěchouček)\nThe work of Roman Štětina gi ves several examples of favourable conditions that ensure an imaginative us e of sound. In his body of work the artist makes use of his profound knowl edge of radio broadcasting and related technologies. Roman lives two parall el lives\; the romantic life of a performing musician and the pragmatic lif e of a radio editor cooperating with Czech Radio. He frequently cooperates with others artists in various projects with a healthy indifference to the acknowledgement of his co-authorship. Roman has always been able to connect these activities with his free artistic work – the acoustic image – situat ed on the boundary between sound installation in a gallery context and publ ic radio broadcasting.\nhttp://www.romanstetina.com/\n\nAndreas Krach\nexhi bition views:\n\nAndreas Krach is the man behind the cardboard of the tinfo il-covered and Berlin-based noisy musical robot called "Krach der Roboter". Andreas developed it for the annual cocktail-robotics fair "Roboexotica" w hile studying Electroacoustics in Vienna in the year 2002. While the robot' s music became successful on Austrian radio\, it's constructor went deep in to the abyss of no-input drone music and spent many years on the fine tunin g of squeaky glitches and oscillations. Expect a powerful drone that explor es both the resonances of the building and the bodies and brains inside.\nh ttp://www.monochrom.at/krach/\nhttps://soundcloud.com/krachderroboter/sunda y-special-6min\n \;\nEsther Venrooy\nexhibition views:\n\nWithin her ar tist in residency at STEIM\, Esther Venrooy is developing a new site specif ic work at STEIM'S Studio #1. Additionally Esther Venrooy will delight us w ith a concert.\nEsther Venrooy (°1974\, Rosmalen\, The Netherlands) is a co mposer working in the field of audio art. Her works range from purely elect ronic composed music to improvised combinations of electronica with traditi onal instrumentation such as piano\, guqin\, pipa and satsuma-biwa. She has created site-specific works as well as multimedia performances and install ations. Much of her music has been released on CD or vinyl at Entr'acte Lab el (UK) and has received good critical acclaim.\nEsther Venrooy has perform ed her music extensively for audiences in cities such as Antwerp\, Amsterda m\, Rotterdam\, Brussels\, Berlin\, Madrid\, Hamburg\, Cologne\, Frankfurt\ , Washington DC\, NewYork\, Hangzhou\, Xi'an\, Shanghai and Beijing.\nApart from her artistic activities\, Venrooy is a lecturer on 20th century music and experimental arts at the Ghent school of fine arts\, where she also ru ns the audio workshop. Venrooy furthermore presides the board of (k-raa-k)3 organization. Since 2009 Esther started her PhD research on “Audio topogra phy – (re)constructing auditive spaces”.

\nRaviv Ganchrow presents parts of his new work ”Radio Plays Itself“. F
or this installation\, the opening scenes of “Radio Plays Itself”\, recorde
d primarily in the control room at Hörspiel studio at Funkhaus Vienna\, are
re-enacted in the control room of Studio #2 at STEIM.
Raviv Ganchr ow’s (1972) work focuses on interrelations between sound and space\, aspect s of which are explored through sound installations\, writing and the devel opment of acoustic forming and vibration sensing technologies. Recent insta llations directly engage the everyday acoustic environment\, plumbing notio ns of 'place' that are constructed by way of frequency interdependencies be tween sound\, location and listener. He is currently engaged in a series of projects under the heading Listening Subjects that examine the contextual circuitry in sites of listening whereby audibility\, surroundings and subje ctivity are conductive of one another. He has been teaching architectural d esign in the graduate program at TU Delft and is currently a faculty member at the Institute of Sonology\, The Hague.

nThe common motif of Roman Štětina's video-series STUDIO is the en
vironment of an old radio broadcasting studio in Pilsen/Czech Republic. Rom
an’s main theme is sound itself – its recording and broadcasting. He does n
ot consider sound recording as a mere auxiliary tool for documentation but
as a condition of an action. The listeners are thus subtly confronted with
their own readiness to believe that sound is a medium capable of recording
the real world and that it is possible to hear things that we cannot normal
ly hear. (Text:Michal Pěchouček)
The wor
k of Roman Štětina gives several examples of favourable conditions that ens
ure an imaginative use of sound. In his body of work the artist makes use o
f his profound knowledge of radio broadcasting and related technologies. R
oman lives two parallel lives\; the romantic life of a performing musician
and the pragmatic life of a radio editor cooperating with Czech Radio. He f
requently cooperates with others artists in various projects with a healthy
indifference to the acknowledgement of his co-authorship. Roman has always
been able to connect these activities with his free artistic work – the ac
oustic image – situated on the boundary between sound installation in a gal
lery context and public radio broadcasting.

\nAndreas Krach is
the man behind the cardboard of the tinfoil-covered and Berlin-based noisy
musical robot called "Krach der Roboter". Andreas developed it for the annu
al cocktail-robotics fair "Roboexotica" while studying Electroacoustics in
Vienna in the year 2002. While the robot's music became successful on Austr
ian radio\, it's constructor went deep into the abyss of no-input drone mus
ic and spent many years on the fine tuning of squeaky glitches and oscillat
ions. Expect a powerful drone that explores both the resonances of the buil
ding and the bodies and brains inside.

STEIM and AUXXX team up once again to bring you KK NULL! KK Null (real name : KAZUYUKI KISHINO) is a composer\, guitar ist\, singer\, and mastermind of ZENI GEVA. He is one of the top names in J apanese noise music and in a larger context\, one of the great cult artists in experimental music since the early 80′s.
\nWe'll also have breakc ore / performance act Peter Quistgard (Luc van Weelden) opening with one of his inimitable sets.

\nENTRANCE: €7
In 1981 KK NULL studied at Butoh dancer\ , Min Tanaka’s “Mai-Juku” workshop and started his career by performing gui tar improvisations in the clubs in Tokyo. He collaborated with MERZBOW\, th e band YBO2\, ABSOLUT NULL PUNKT (with Seijiro Murayama\, the original drum mer of Keiji Haino’s FUSHITSUSHA)\, and also GEVA2 (GEVA GEVA) with Tatsuya Yoshida (RUINS) and Eye Yamatsuka (BOREDOMS)
\nIn the early 90′s he
gained world-wide recognition as the mastermind\, guitarist and singer of t
he progressive hardcore band ZENI GEVA\, releasing five albums produced by
STEVE ALBINI (two on Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles label) and a few
more on other labels such as NEUROSIS’s Neurot Recordings. Also ZENI GEVA r
ecorded twice for JOHN PEEL SESSION on BBC\, and immensely toured throughou
t Europe\, USA\, Australia\, New Zealand and Japan\, playing hundreds of co
ncerts.
\nAll the while\, KK NULL has worked on his solo career and co
llaborated with other musical innovators such as Z’EV\, CHRIS WATSON\, KEIJ
I HAINO\, JON ROSE\, MATMOS\, FRED FRITH to name a few\, and has been invit
ed to perform at international festivals such as “Presences Électronique” i
n Paris (France)\, “Sonar” in Barcelona (Spain)\, “All Tomorrow’s Parties U
K“\, “Radar” in Mexico City (Mexico)\, “International Sound Art Festival” i
n Mexico City (Mexico)\, “Sergey Kuryokhin International Festival (SKIF-6 &
amp\; 8)” in St.Petersburg &\; Moscow (Russia)\, “Elevate” in Graz (Aust
ria)\, “X-peripheria” in Budapest (Hungary)\, “Liquid Architecture” in Sydn
ey\, Melbourne\, Brisbane (Australia)\, “Totally Huge New Music Festival” i
n Perth (Australia)\, “Avanto Helsinki Media Art Festival” in Helsinki (Fin
land)\, “Roadburn” in Tilburg (Holland)\, “International Festival Musique A
ctuelle” in Victoriaville (Canada)\, “Electron” in Geneve (Switzerland)\, a
nd more.
After playing the guitar as his main instrument for nearly
thirty years\, KK NULL has gradually moved towards a more electronic appro
ach. Since the late 90′s he has concentrated his efforts on his solo &\;
collaborative recordings\, exploring the outer territories of electronica\
, creating intense clashing wave of noise\, structured electro-acoustic amb
ience\, broken down rhythmics\, scattered pitch sculptures\, droning isolat
ionist material which could be described “cosmic noise maximal/minimalism”.
\nKK Null (born Kazuyuki Kishino in Tokyo) is a Japanese experimental
multi-instrumentalist. He began as a guitarist\, but soon added composer\,
singer\, electronic musician and drummer to his list of talents\, and also
studied with the Butoh workshop.
\nNull joined the noise/progressive
rock band Ybo2 in 1984\, issuing several albums and EPs throughout the rema
inder of the decade. Later he founded more bands\, such as Absolute Null Pu
nkt (aka ANP) and his most well known one\, the self-described "progressive
hardcore trio" Zeni Geva. From that point he also produced albums for othe
r artists\, created his own record label (Nux Organization)\, played live a
nd collaborated on albums with many other musicians\, including John Zorn\,
Yona-Kit\, Steve Albini\, Boredoms\, Seiichi Yamamoto\, Jim O'Rourke\, Mer
zbow\, Fred Frith\, James Plotkin\, Keiji Haino\, Otomo Yoshihide\, Jon Ros
e\, Damian Catera\, Atau Tanaka\, Zbigniew Karkowski\, Z'EV\, Alexei Boriso
v\, Earth\, Cris X. Noisegate and Philip Samartzis\, as well as supporting
such artists as Sonic Youth and Mike Patton on tour. Altogether Null has re
leased more than 100 albums. In 2004 he restarted ANP and in 2006 they rele
ased their first studio album in 20 years.

For everyone who appreciates DIY electronic m usic: STEIM presents the Standuino Orchestra and Brian D. McKenna. An eveni ng full of crackling\, noisy\, hand-made electronica!
\nS
tanduino Orchestra
\n
\nSta
nduino Orchestra is an open-invitation-improvised-music-group that cons
ist of
\neveryone who has his Standuino instrument. As much of a perfo
rmance as it is a social event - the most important message of the orchestr
a is that anyone can be a member and to pick up the social importance of mu
sic.
Any member of the orchestra can organize events and invite oth
er members to play. The repertoire of the orchestra consists mainly of comp
ositions by Czech composer Karel Bastl (1873-1918). The main conductor Ondř
ej Merta with his assistant Václav Peloušek searched the archives to search
for innovative ways of playing improvised music from the edge of 19th and
20th century. They try to deliver authentic experience of such music for th
e audience. At present moment fresh contemporary composers are composing pi
eces for the orchestra ( Hans W. Koch\, Lucie Vítková\, Standa Filip and ot
hers ).
\nWith growing numbers (at the moment more than 300 members) i
t is the largest orchestra in middle Europe (and maybe in the world). Stand
uino orchestra already took part in various events: MusikNacht Boutique Col
ogne Germany\, Neue Heimat Berlin Germany\, Školská 28 Prague CZ\, Chomsky
bar Riga Latvia\, Soundexchange festival GhoeteInstitut Riga Latvia\, Devic

Self-made media\, and instrum ental media as performance practice has a long and unique history in the Ne therlands. This event intends to understand how performing artists today\, with what seems like an ever-increasing fluency\, combine histories and tec hnologies to re-negotiate relationships within the musical\, technological\ , perceptual\, and ritual through live performance and improvisation.
\nThis program concludes a four-day collective residency at STEIM by < strong>iii\, and includes an afternoon panel discussion on th e role of DIY media in cultural entrepreneurship moderated by Justin Bennet .

Join us for a special concert evening featu ring two prominent artists working within the medium of altered states of p erception.
\nKim Cascone will present his new 34-minute sensory medit ation 'Becoming Aiôn'. Utilizing Schumann resonances\, Spricom frequencies\ , binaural and monaural beat frequencies and spatial effects\, 'Becoming Ai ôn' is not a concert in the traditional sense\, but an experience intended to induce deep meditative states in the listener.
\n'Becoming Aiôn' i s an acoustic mirror\, a reflecting pool bringing the audience's unconsciou s to the surface through the technique of entrainment\, allowing them to pr oject onto the sonic gauze. 'Becoming Aiôn' could be likened to a scrying m irror into which the viewers unconscious is projected then reflected back t o them. This work was inspired by my research in Jungian psychology\, Herme tic philosophy\, brain entrainment techniques\, altered states of conscious ness\, meditation and a variety of other areas.
\n\;
\nPri or to 'Becoming Aiôn'\, TeZ will perform 'PV868'\, a performance aimed at p roducing an audiovisual feed/stimulus which allows a peculiar effect of mov ing visual patterns to emerge directly in the brain of the observer.
\n< p>The stimulus is generated in real-time by a combination of flickering vid eo\, in the form of abstract lights and color gradients\, coupled with sync hronized synthetic sounds (binaural beats) diffused in a surround quadropho nic system. These elements are performed and recombined in real-time.\n'PV868' is inspired by the readings of John Geiger’s “Chapel of Extreme Experience” and W. G. Walter’s “The Living Brain”. The title\, 'PV868'\, is the patent number of the Dream Machine developed by Brion Gysin and Willia m S. Burroughs in the late 50's.
\nDISCLAIMER: This work
is based on the use of flickering video light which might cause seizures in
people suffering of photogenic or photosensitive epilepsy.

Kim Cascone has a long history in volving electronic music: he received his formal training in electronic mus ic at the Berklee College of Music in the early 1970′s\, and in 1976 contin ued his studies with Dana McCurdy at the New School in New York City.
\nAfter moving to San Francisco in the 1980′s\, and gaining experience as an electronic technician in the audio industry\, Cascone worked with David Lynch as Assistant Music Editor on both “Twin Peaks” and “Wild at Heart.” C ascone left the film industry in 1991 to concentrate on his company Silent Records\, a label that he founded in 1986\, transforming it into the U.S.’s premier ambient electronic music label.
\nAt the height of Silent’s success in early 1996\, he sold the company in order to pursue a career as a sound designer for Thomas Dolby’s company Headspace. After a two year sti nt at Headspace he worked for Staccato Systems as the Director of Content w here he oversaw sound design using algorithmic synthesis for video games.\n
Since 2001 Kim has been touring Europe performing\, conducting works hops and lecturing on post-digital aesthetics in sound art. Kim has release d more than 40 albums of electronic music since 1984 and has recorded/perfo rmed with Merzbow\, Keith Rowe\, Tony Conrad\, Scanner\, John Tilbury\, and Pauline Oliveros among others.
\nCascone is the founder of the .micr osound list which focuses on post-digital music and laptop performance (htt p://www.microsound.org) and his writing has been published in Computer Musi c Journal (MIT Press)\, Artbyte\, Soundcultures\, Parachute Journal\, Junk Jet\, Geometer\; he has guest edited and written for Contemporary Music Rev iew and acts as an advisor to the journal “Interference” based in Dublin\, Ireland. Kim is a citizen of both the USA and Italy and lives on the coast of California\, south of San Francisco\, with his wife Kathleen and son Cag e.

\nMaurizio Martinucci (aka TeZ) is an Italian interdiscip
linary artist and producer\, living and working in Amsterdam\, who has coll
aborated with\, amongst others\, Adi Newton\, Scanner\, Kim Cascone\, Saver
io Evangelista\, Taylor Deupree\, Sonia Cillari\, Chris Salter\, Honor Harg
er\, Luca Spagnoletti and Domenico Sciajno.
\nHe uses technology as a
means to explore perceptual effects and the relationship between sound\, li
ght and space. He focuses primarily on generative compositions with spatial
ized sound for live performances and installations. In his works he adopts
custom developed software and hardware\, featuring original techniques of s
onification and visualization to investigate vibrational phenomena. In rece
nt years his research has extended to the ideation and creation of specific
architectural structures and unconventional sound and light propagation me
thods to enhance immersivity and multisensory perception.
\nTeZ is als
o the brainfather of the ‘Optofonica’ platform for Synesthetic Art-Science\
, located in Amsterdam.
For this concert\, STEIM welcomes once agai n Robert Henke (Monolake) to perform a set of new work based on live proces sing of field recordings.
\nPrior to his set\, Robert will be joined by participants from his 3-day workshop for a presentation of new works dev eloped during the workshop.
\nDate: Saturday 1 December\, 2012
\nTime: 20:30 hrs. (doors open 20:00 hrs.)
\nCost: €5
\nLocati
on: STEIM Studio 3\, Utrechtsedwarsstraat 134\, Amsterdam
Robert Henke\, born in Munich\, Germany\, builds and operates machines to create art. He pairs archaic concepts with computer sc ience in order to explore new aesthetic territories between composition\, < a href="http://www.monolake.de/concerts/index.html">performance and installation. Th e creation of his own instruments and tools and the results of using them a re two sides of the same artistic process.
\nHis art is focused on ca refully shaped textural details and gradual changes of repeating structures 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.
\nHenke is a pioneer of multichannel sou
nd\, using systems like
wave field synthesis and ambisonics to create situations of total immer
sion\, expanding the sonic experience of his performances beyond of what can be reproduced in
stereo.
\nAlthough mainly known for his musical output\, Henke is also working in the f
ield of installat
ion\, both sound based and audio-visual. Currently he explores the usag
e of high power lasers for an installation called 'Fragile Territories' wh
ich will be shown this winter in Nantes\, France.
Henke’s interest in the combination of art and technology is further evident in his contribu tions to the development of the music software 'Ableton Live'. For more tha n a decade since Ableton’s founding in 1999\, he has been central to the de velopment of Live\, which became the standard tool for electronic music pro duction and completely redefined the performance practice of electronic mus ic.
\nHenke 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.
\nFor 2013 he has been selected as Mohr Visiting Artist at the music department of Stanford University\, where he will be teaching a class in c omputer music composition and performance.

\n
< strong>Join us Friday 7 December for an exciting concert of n ew improvised electronic music. Featuring three performances by artists run ning the gamut of electronic improvised practice.
\nJapanese instrume nt designer and composer Chikashi Miyama will present works combining elect ronic composition\, abstract video\, and performance on his self-made instr uments the Peacock and Qgo. Chikashi is well-known throughout the new instr uments scene for his ecstatic live performances.
\nDuring his concert at STEIM Chikashi will present five pieces:
\nBlack Vox for Peac
ock (2009)
\n Piano Chimera for Video (2007)
\n
Liquid Flame for Peacock and Live Video (2010)
\n Radioscape
for Fixed-Media (2011)
\n Treble Motion for Qgo and Live Vid
eo (2012)
We're also very happy to welcome London/Berlin-based artist Martin Howse to perform at STEIM for the first time. His performanc es take a highly personal\, poetic approach to noise through a bricolage of self-made devices and scientific mechanisms\, chemical reactions\, and ele ctromagnetic phantoms.
\nFinally\, trio-turned-duo electronic improvi sation outfit bicycle day will be joining us from Istanbul for an unpredict able set mixing up ambient soundscapes\, art rock\, and free improvisation.
\nIt's going to be a blast. Don't miss it!

\nCALARTS Experimental Soun
d Practices
\n"The Experimental Sound Practices program was establishe
d for musicians\, composers\, and sound artists with a strong musical backg
round who want to explore the more radical branches of contemporary sound.
While coursework provides a strong foundation in the theory and application
of digital media as well as the critical issues surrounding it\, making wo
rk and presenting it in concert or installation is the key. Opportunities t
o hear your work include the school-sponsored ESP Nights and the student-ru
n Sounding Out series\, as well as self-produced events in our concert hall
s or other spaces around CalArts.
As part of our ongoing collaboration with t he Music Technology department at the HKU in Hi lversum\, we present an evening of new works by students of instrument and sound design.
\nThe night promises a mixture of surprising instal lation works\, electronic music performances\, and talks all showcasing the newest sonic artworks coming out of the HKU Music Technology department.\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. Play the game and
try to create the coolest sounds!
____AUDIOTOPE____
\nBy: Jerre van der Hulst &\; Eduard van Dommelen
\
nA community of insects only existing in light and sound is living and evol
ving in their own habitat. Next to it there is a flyswatter begging to be u
sed. Who feels a call to play with this bio system? Killing is easy\, but m
aybe someone can create something interesting.
\nBy: Tim Bijnen &\; Bram van de
r Hoeven
\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 wants
?
\nThe room reacts on your actions\, but can you also react on the ro
om?
____CONSCIOUS_THE_UNCONSCIOUS____
\nBy: Alex Dijk
\nWhen we talk we are not conscious of our voice\, w
hen we look we are not conscious of the light\, and as we walk we are not c
onscious 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 th
e unconscious.
____GLOEIENDE_GLOEIENDE!____
\nBy: Roeland van den Beemd &\; Robin Taal
\nAll right\, an
alog is dead. The computer and smartphone are gaining ground every day. And
before we notice another specie is extinct: the incandescent light bulb. P
retty soon 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 fas
hioned light bulb that\, for decades\, brought a warm atmosphere to come ho
me to each day.
____EXOCORTEX____
\nBy: Gleb Foulga
\nA commentary on transhumanism and cyber-punk cult
ure.
\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 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 immi
nent reality.

\nDoor:
Luc Vermeulen &\; Maarten Houdijk
\nTwisted Sounds is een project g
ebaseerd op het spel Twister. Een of twee spelers genereren door middel van
een twistermat klanken. Elke speler bestuurt zijn eigen instrument door ve
rschillende uitdagende posities op de twistermat aan te nemen.
____AUDIOTOPE____
\nDoor: Jerre van der Hulst &a
mp\; Eduard van Dommelen
\nEen gemeenschap van insecten die alleen bes
taan in licht en geluid leeft en evolueert in hun eigen dorpje. Daarnaast l
igt uitnodigend een vliegenmepper. Wie voelt zich geroepen te spelen met di
t biosysteem? Doodmaken is makkelijk\, maar misschien kan iemand er wel voo
r zorgen dat er iets interessants ontstaat.
____REMOTIO
N____
\nDoor: Tim Bijnen &\; Bram van der Hoeven
\nJe komt een kamer binnen\, en in het midden staat een rode knop.
\n
Druk je de knop zomaar in\, of probeer je er eerst achter te komen wat de k
amer van jou wil? De kamer reageert op wat jij doet\, maar hoe reageer jij
op wat de kamer doet?
____BEWUST_HET_ONBEUWSTE____
\nDoor: Alex Dijk
\nAls we praten zijn we niet bewust v
an onze stem\, als we kijken niet van het licht\, als we lopen niet van onz
e 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 he
t onbewuste.
____GLOEIENDE_GLOEIENDE!____
\nDoor: Roeland van den Beemd &\; Robin Taal
\nOk\, analoog i
s dood. De computer en smartphone winnen iedere dag terrein. En voor we het
doorhebben is er weer een soort uitgestorven: de gloeilamp. Als de Nederla
ndse gloeilampschappen leeg zijn\, gaan we over naar de efficientere spaarl
amp. Evolutie of devolutie? Laten we in ieder geval nog eenmaal een eerbeto
on brengen aan de gloeilamp. Die toch decennia lang sfeer bracht in onze hu
izen.
____EXOCORTEX____
\nDoor: Gleb
Foulga
\nEen commentaar op transhumanisme en cyber-punk cultuur.
\nHet oog is het venster van de ziel. Terwijl we de technologische singula
riteit naderen veranderen onze wereld\, lichamen en zielen. Machines worden
menselijker en mensen worden aangepast met behulp van technologie tot de t
wee samensmelten.
\n"EXOCORTEX" is een performance van Gleb Foulga waa
rin deze concepten worden onderzocht terwijl het oog zich beweegt door de s
onische fasen van deze grauwe\, maar onvermijdelijke realiteit.
An evening of performances as part of the m onth-long JG Ballard Festival in Amsterdam.

SATURDAY MAY 5: CONCERT WITH PHILLIP STEARN S\, TOKTEK VS MNK\, JON REUS
\n
\n
New York based artist Phillip Stearns first came to STEIM 5 years ago as part of the CalArts Exchange\, and impressed us with his mad soldering skills and tireless effort to build his analog neural-net work sculpture AANN. 3 years later\, he returned as a member of the MLB project and blew us away with his bio-feedback strobic analog synth performance. In the meantime\, he has become a pro lific media artist creating a body of work ranging from installations\, vid eo\, performance\, and textiles. We are excited to see wha t he brings us this time.
\nSupporting the night is a duo by our favo
rite live-sampling beat pilot Tok Tek and glitch-VJ
Don’t miss it!

Toktek vs MNK is live au diovisual improvisation by Tom Verbruggen (Toktek) and Karl Klomp (vj mnk). Their research deals with i llogic audio / video hardware (circuit bending) in combination with max / a tmel / Lisa programming and interfacing. Visual artist / musician Tom Verbr uggen structures unbridled clicks and cuts of his circuit bent gadgets and melodramatic tunes into a fragile disturbance. Sampling with a joystick Tom creates unlogic contrasts that will feed the video hardware of Karl Klomp. Modified secondhand (obsolete) hardware is tuned to create and interfere v ideo on a fragile but aggresive way. With minimal animations and live gener ate ‘OSD glitch’ the signal gets carefully disturbed into a hyper dynamic o asis of disorder\, all preformed very live.
\nJonathan Reus is a Dutch/American artist working with sound\, electronics and com puting technologies. Drawing on influences from noise\, minimalist techno\, and glitch\, he conducts live improvised experiments deconstructing the re lationships we share with our ecosystems of machines and information. http://www.jonathanreus.c om

ULTRA -short for “Ultramodernen” – is the c ollective 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. ULT RA was responsible for the creation of some of the greatest post-punk exper imental pop in Europe\; a sound that saw musicians and artists of all kinds grabbing the directness\, energy and DIY philosophy of punk and combining it with new ideas\, methods and technological innovations\, as well as sift ing parallel ideas from jazz and modern classical music into a strange and heady mix.
\nThe ULTRA2012 events will be no nostalgic strolls down m emory lane\, rather a set of nights concerned with bringing together the or iginal movers and shakers in ULTRA 79-83 with artists and bands who are bus y creating their own mind-maps in this fractured modern world of ours.

Xi Shan / Westhill
\nWest Hill (Xi Shan) is a
rap group coming straight out of Yun Nan region. They chose the protest gen
re 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 si
de swipe digs at a wide range of topics\; social\, emotional and controvers
ial. Most uniquely\, they rap in their own Kunming dialect. They recorded s
everal demo tracks looking for a record deal but were ignored by all the re
cord companies due to its ‘provocative’ 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 the attention of the world in order for them to g
ain their due respect in China but also to realize his long delayed dream t
o make a film instead of chasing after less promising record deal.
\nA
fter 4 years of working on the film\, 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 for the first time abroad. The documentary
will be screened as a rough cut while the screening of the film itself as w
ell as the band's performances will be shot and used as the ending scenes o
f the finally completed film. What could be more unique experience than to
watch the unfinished documentary about Chinese hiphopers\, see the live per
formances by the subjects of the film and be part of the film by being ther
e with them?
Then well known Taiwanese A&\;R person\, song lyris
t and producer Kuang Chong Yu discovered them in 2007. Yu understood the ba
nd's credibility\, recognized their true creative agenda and decided that h
e needed to bring the band's story to the attention of the world in order f
or them to gain their due respect in China. Across the last few months of 2
008 and February 2009\, Yu spent the entire period working with the band\,
shooting endless reels of HD film footage and now\, with over 44 hours of u
sable film impressions as well as a 15 track CD\, the real journey for the
band and Yu has just began. In the pipeline there are 5 music clips\, a doz
en of so YouTube show-reels and\, most importantly\, a compelling feature l
ength documentary about the band\; "Say Sing"\, all of which are now being
spliced together in a Taipei editing suite.
\nListen to their album.
Inner Science is the alias of project 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 departed from narrowly define
d Hip Hop and starting making instrumental electronic music. Merging beauti
ful melodies and fat beats\, INNER SCIENCE draws unprecedented attention in
Japan and overseas.
\nListen to his new album
Amsterdam based Terug klap creates unpredictable beats and breaks taking influences from hip-hop\ , house\, bass-music to household kitchenware and gardening tools. He has r eleased a handful of releases from Clone Records and Lomechanik. His carefu lly composed chaos will twist your mind but keep your body moving. Listen to his music.
\nCaetano Carvalho is originally from Sao Paolo\, Brazil where he worked as a designe r and art director. He earned a professional degree in Computer Science and traveled as a freelancer between several countries in Europe. He is now a final year student at the Audiovisual Department of the GRA.

Atsuhiro Ito was b orn in 1965. He launched his career as a visual artist in the late '80s\, a nd 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 opt ron. He continues to refine the instrument while approaching sound and musi c from a contemporary-art-based perspective. In addition to his solo exhibi tion 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 Shin. Between 2000 and 2005 It o presented various sound (music)/visual image-related events at Off Site\, the now-defunct gallery/free space in Yoyogi\, Tokyo. The Optrum album Rec orded was released in June 2006 on the label Unknownmix (Headz).

Born in 1978\, Christine Abdelnour lives in
France but is of Lebanese origin. After discovering improvised music in 19
97 she 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 acoustic instrument.
\nShe approaches sound as a malleable mate
rial\, rich in concrete textures which combine breath\, silence and countle
ss acoustic distortions. She has developed extended techniques and complex
patterns of sound production\, exploring the microtonal aspects of the saxo
phone and its high-pitched tones. She employs subtle tonguing techniques\,
unpitched breaths\, spittle-flecked growls\, biting\, slicing notes and bre
athy echoing sounds from the bell of her horn. Far from any narrative effec
ts\, her music addresses the relation between listening and concepts of per
ception\, time and space.
Andy Moor was born in Lo ndon in 1962. He began his musical life in Edinburgh\, Scotland playing gui tar with the band Dog Faced Hermans\, a multi faceted eclectic group that m ixed energetic post punk energy with traditional tunes and improvisations…. In 1990 he moved to the Netherlands after an invitation to join Dutch band The Ex and continues to be a full time member of this band….the openess an d versatility of the musicians in this group has brought them intocontact w ith many musicians from different scenes and backgrounds..including Tom Cor a(cello)\, Han Bennink(drums)\, Wolter Wierbos(trombone)\, Djibril Diabate (kora) John Butcher (sax) and Anne james Chaton (sound poet).
