Musiclab #5

Pakhuis De Zwijger organizes Musiclab: a bi-monthly talkshow about music and technology, in collaboration with STEIM, MCN, HKU and Interface Magazine. The events are ment for musicians, producers and music lovers

Orientation workshop #108 featuring artist talks by Neal Spowage, Danny de Graan, and Robert van Heumen

This Orientation workshop was attended by: Jon He Jingyin, Tara Pattenden, Kyle Evans, and Michael Edward Edgerton (left to right).

STEIM Orientation workshops are held roughly once every two months. These workshops are ment as an introduction into the STEIM way of working, and form an ideal first contact between artists and STEIM. Participants are selected to study and explore the possible technical and artistic means available at STEIM for a potential future project (for example, a compositional work or a personal electronic instrument). This will be achieved partly through lectures by the STEIM staff, partly through collaboration between the participants, and partly through (informal) contact with the STEIM staff regarding specific requirements and wishes of each participant. The orientation will take place in a classroom setting, in STEIM`s studio 3.

Although mainstream entertainment has become one of Korea's largest exports, it's underground music scene keeps a low profile to the western world. However, a handful of dedicated artists have developed a highly personal instrumental practice that is utterly unique in the global landscape of experimental sound. Three musicians central to this scene will be in residence at STEIM to record and will perform a concert at OT301 as part of their extensive European tour supported by the LIG Arts Foundation in Korea.
