Le Cavalier

December 8th, 2010 No comments

Que regardes tu en ėtant posė sur Sang d’Or, le vent du mer carėssant tes cheveux blonds avec son sel, l’horizon infini qui dessine sa trace brute dans la peinture dans laquelle le seigneur nous a enfermė? Est-ce le binarisme ou l’ambiguitė qui nous paralise entre les deux univers? Je t’embrasse tendrement mon compagnon.

Pureness

November 26th, 2010 No comments

“The red liquid thrust out of his arteries to interfuse with the pureness of the unwritten.

Meanwhile the knocking lessened slowly and finally extracted into a ray to emit the stellar dust of love.”

Precautionary principle

November 25th, 2010 No comments

“Escaped out of the marble mold suddenly the rain drops fell like gravel from his eyes. But still. He got a glimpse of the rays that leaked from the lemon fruit.

Whereafter he decided to kill the kid that has never been born.”

Lemon Tree

“The young boy stared into the lemontree where the white sparkling flowers outpoured their tears and turned into yellow fruits filled of angels.

The boy was about to turn into marble when a lovely voice liberated his soul.”

Precision Metronome

For the upcoming event

DON LI’S ORBITAL GARDEN INVITES:
A 48 HOUR RHYTHM AROUND THE CLOCK
FOR FABAIN KURATLI

Don asked me to program a precise metronome that ticks synchronously to the world clock and conducts the 48 drummer’s who will play at the 48 hours life performance from 26th to 28th of november 2010 at the Tonus Labor at Kramgasse 10 in Berne.

Therefore I chose puredata to build the patch to be able to address sound and video-files without delay and reliably. Further Pd comes with features such as [netsend] to stream framerates to a second computer where [netreceive] reads them and e.g. recalculates them to play a film using [gemwin].

This patch will be released as soon as I’m happy with it’s result. Meanwhile check the screenshot to get an idea what it’s doing.

27C3 Chaos Communication Congress event 4201

Corey Cerovsek, known worldwide for their classical recital performances and Lix, accomplished artist present something that’s not quite an ordinary concert, to draw attention to the importance of the public domain in centuries of classical music tradition. It’s both more — and less — than what you might expect to see and hear at a classical concert.

To schedule an interview appointment, get in contact with the Impresario.
