SONIC ACTS XIII

February 22nd 2010 by SIMcommander | Tags: , , ,

The title of the thirteenth Sonic Acts Festival, The Poetics of Space, is derived from the English translation of the book La Poétique de l’Espace (1958) by the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard. In this work Bachelard meticulously describes the influence of space and architecture on humans and implicitly argues for a new type of architecture based on experience and imagination, an approach that is not only rooted in science or functionality.
With performances by: Thomas Köner, Jürgen Reble, Haswell & Hecker, Monolake, Tarik Barri, Greg Pope and Gert-Jan Prins, Jacob Kirkegaard.
Not to be missed the conference during the day with Brandon LaBelle; Derrick de Kerckhove; Daniel Teruggi; Naut Humon;Fred Worden; Raviv Ganchrow ao.

SYNCHRONATOR device

SYNCHRONATORA few years ago Bas van Kolwijk (media artist) and Gert-Jan Prins (musician who builts his own machines) told me of their quest for a perfect device to translate audio into video signal. If you check the samples and their own stuff the made with the device and if your a media artist, this is a must have!!!!! Be quick because it’s limited!

Last summer they released a 10 track DVD on the small Cavity label. Its a reflection of their performances with their device.
