Wir laden Sie herzlichst zu einem Open CUBE Konzert und einer CUBE
Lecture am IEM - Institut für Elektronische Musik und Akustik,
Inffeldgasse 10/3, 8010 Graz ein!
Dienstag 02.12.2014, 17:00 Uhr CUBE Lecture, 18:00 Uhr Open CUBE Konzert
Open CUBE concert:
Construction in Kneading is a live generative audiovisual work. It is a
speculative inquiry into a virtual life form based on the Mandelbox, an
n-dimensional fractal inspired by the Mandelbrot set. Its recursion
formula resembles the actions of kneading dough in bread making.
All material is derived from the Mandelbox through a live
“audiovisualisation”, generating both sound and moving image in
real-time without either following the other as in most VJ practice and
sound visualisations. No pre-recorded audio samples, conventional
synthesis methods, pre-rendered movies nor textures are used. Data from
the system is used as audio at different scales of time e.g. at sample
rate (a technique known as audification or non-standard synthesis)
creating timbre and pitch, and at control rate creating rhythms and
phrases.
An increasing number of dimensions of the system are revealed as the
work progresses through its three parts, beginning with a line (1D),
followed by a slice (2D), and ending with a space (3D). A performance
consists of an improvised attempt to understand and control the emergent
system
CUBE Lecture:
Live Audiovisualisation using Emergent Generative Systems
“Audiovisualisation” is a technique I have used extensively in my recent
practice. It refers to the simultaneous sonification and visualisation
of the same source of data. Far from being a redundant doubling of data,
research into auditory displays and perception indicate that
synchronised audio and visuals are perceived as a combined audiovisual
entity, becoming more than the sum of its parts due to cross-modal
phenomena. It also forms the basis of Michel Chion’s theory of
synchresis and added-value in the context of sound in cinema. Similar
concerns to audiovisualisation in the analogue medium may be traced to
experimental film, and in particular, Structural/Materialist film from
1970s Britain. The approach allows for more complex processes to be
perceived than merely audio or visuals alone, making experimental art
more accessible without diluting the content.
About Ryo Ikeshiro:
Ryo Ikeshiro is a UK-based Japanese artist. His works range from live
audiovisual performances and interactive installations to generative
music pieces and scored compositions. He has presented his works
internationally at music and art festivals, as well as at academic
conferences. He is featured in the Electronic Music volume of the
Cambridge Introductions to Music series. He has also published articles
in journals such as Organised Sound. He was originally classically
trained and studied composition with Silvina Milstein at Kings College
London and Robin Holloway at Cambridge. He then branched out into
electronic music and other genres. The meeting of these two worlds
informs his practice which explores computational aesthetics that extend
beyond the usual imitation of human behaviour and art and music. He
completed a PhD at Goldsmiths University of London with supervisors from
the Music Department and the Computing Department. He works as a
visiting tutor and he also curates events, exhibitions and discussions.
