Submit JOIN FORM Here : http://www.nomusic.org > and then click JOIN [Deadline : 15th October, 2006] [Line-up results : 15th November, 2006] * PRESENTATION : (((NOMUSIC))) started on June 2001, according to the principle that a diffusion site on Internet should correspond to the representation of the singular performances of a new generation of artists, musicians, performers and other actors of the electronic scene. The creation of this open diffusion site proved to be necessary because of today’s difficulty to perform disembodied concerts of electronic music on stage, in a classical frontal (actor/audience) representation space. Nowadays, these emerging new multimedia performances allow everybody to approach music in a more singular way, with a different listening practice and on a more sharing scene. Every year since 2001, (((NOMUSIC))) offers one or more festivals which programming is geographically variable and which function is to relay in a coordinated way a 24 hours earth revolution of no-musicians @ home. This virtual earth revolution materializes a world wide sound cover of 24 time zones according to the universal time [GMT 0]. This gives to participants who are scattered all over the world the opportunity to take part in the festival. The participation is free of charge and the recruitment is made exclusively on Internet through diffusion lists. The selection is not made according to practices and genres criterion but rather according to the approaches and artistic positions which should echo the logic of the festival. (((NOMUSIC))) platform offers two types of live. In its classical form, the participant plays alone at home for one hour. He can also play in dual. Dual is a live in which two geographical sites are linked via Internet and mixed together in stereo (participant 1 on the left channel and participant 2 on the right one). (((NOMUSIC))) wishes to generate improbable duals and gatherings between two participants during one hour time in a web audio performance. We make no storage because we think that Internet is a huge database which conveys already a great amount of dead informations and we don’t want to pollute it further. We are thus in favour of instant access to a selective event. The mechanism of the programming is not automated; it is relayed manually for 24 hours without any interruption by laboiteblanche and Carl.Y., two real human routers who are at the service of continuous audio stream and who endure technical difficulties and give rapid formation on the technologies of streaming to all the participants. (((NOMUSIC))) stands between musical negation and anti-bruitism, in a non-silent interstice of audio manifestation. It allows the composer-performer to be his own auditor, in a place where nothing should be heard but just felt as a new entity to observe. * FOUNDERS : > From 1999 on, laboiteblanche and Carl.Y, have both experimented streaming through series of interconnected web concerts and programming via the site NOWEB thus creating a form of festival which dimension is tailor-made for the web. The support of the late CICV Pierre Schaeffer ’s residence at Hérimoncourt [Fr] gave more opportunity for further development of the interface system; it allowed also an access to a bandwidth of great capacity, which is essential to bear the year after year rising load of the connections. Technically speaking, (((NOMUSIC))) is now autonomous and provides its own lodging on Internet since the creation of the NOHOST network. laboiteblanche & Carl.Y play regularly together in concerts or on the net, from Berlin to Fournos via Paris or other cities. At the same time, each of them develops different projects related to the new technologies: laboiteblanche : http://grandhoteldeparis.com Car.Y : http://auditorium.noweb.org * STATS : * 5 years and 10 festivals * 226 participants during 212 hours * More than 8000 listeners from 25 countries over 4 continents * SUPPORT : (((NOMUSIC))) is a free, self-managing and independent festival which diffuses under a Creative Commons License. Enjoy your flight with us ! laboiteblanche & Carl.Y (((NOMUSIC))) http://www.nomusic.org festival(a)nomusic.org ------------------------------------- M.Koray Tahiroglu Media Lab,UIAH http://mlab.uiah.fi/~korayt/ tel: +358 50 939 02 33 ( in Finland only) tel: +90 533 712 8245

Survey on Musical Instruments
by altern 10 Sep '06

10 Sep '06

"Survey on Musical Instruments" [with apologies of cross posting] *To all musicians (acoustic and digital instrumentalists) and composers* We are doing a little survey on people's relationship with their instruments and tools. It is a comparative study of the differences between acoustic and digital instruments from the perspective of usability or ergonomics. Amongst many other things, we are interested in the experience of playing or composing for the different instruments, but also people's views on how the instrument/tool affects the musical ideas and what can be played/composed. Please help us to get an understanding of these issues by filling out the following survey: http://www.ixi-software.net/survey We will of course present our findings when processed with a research paper and online presentations. Thanks in advance. the ixi team
