Slow January update

New Narghile video

A new N4rgh1l3 video has been uploaded to Vimeo.  We needed something to submit to a Visual Music screening series curated by seensound.

It is something of a “Greatest Hits” of Narghile at least from a footage perspective.  Dense hypnogogia.  I feel like this might be a clearing out as we [...]

A Study in Direct Causal AV Transmission

Part of a 2010 live performance at the Beetle Bar in Brisbane. This is my usual performance setup.

I regularly use musical controllers to sequence and deploy synchronous audio and video in live performance. As a sound artist I enjoy the challenge of providing a more holistic audiovisual experience for the audience [...]

Acousmatic Videoscapes

Performative fail from Rosa Menkman on Vimeo.

The nomad of noise travels the acousmatic videoscape.

I am a voyager of videoscapes: I create conceptually synesthetic artworks, that use both visual and aural glitch (and other noise) artifacts at the same time. These artifacts shroud the black box, as a nebula of technology and its [...]

Towards a Definition of The Performing Audiovisualist

TDPAV_revision2_submit_candidate

There it is…  my first paper.  Delivered to the Australasian Computer Music Conference in August 2009 and published as part of the proceedings.

Three months on I see it as not so much a proof of concept as it is an evocation of the reason for a program of research on the nature of [...]

Total Art in your lunchbreak

The following is an evocation/rant about my research that I posted to an old friend in an attempt to outline what it is i’m doing.  With respect to those practitioners who are working harder than me in the “4 real” world to define this new area – this is not about you – and I [...]

VOLKAN ERGEN // POOLPOOLPOOLPOOLPOOLPOOLPOOL // PART-2 from VOLKAN ERGEN on Vimeo.

Turkish group Cotton AV (seen working above with Volkan Ergen) are one of many groups around the world exploring the live manipulation of audio visuals. One of their previous musical partners started up an interesting argument on the Audiomulch discussion list about the [...]
