Bas van Koolwijk is obsessed by the analog tv signal – yet he realizes his work in the digital domain. This clash results in beautiful, sensitive audio-visual material. A similar clash is sought for by 3A&E: three acoustic players and a fourth routing their analog sounds through the digital domain. Layering both worlds and trying to bring them together.

For this Local Stop I was looking for the combination of / juxtaposition between analog and digital.

3A&E
Seamus Cater, Nate Wooley, Audrey Chen and Robert van Heumen will present initial results on their STEIM residency project. Working with 3 acoustic instruments (cello, trumpet & harmonica) and one electronic instrument (laptop + controllers) they travel through sound.

Red Flag
Bas van Koolwijk will perform the audio-visual live improvisation Red Flag. Red Flag is produced with software applications that were developed for the live performance FDBCK/AV. The `flagging` seen in this work is of a digital nature entirely, but its logic is based on analogue video processing. The same logic applies to the computations by which FDBCK/AV creates a feedback control circuit between audio and video signals.
