ICOSA 44 Installation at the Adelaide Fringe Festival 2014 - 28th February - 2 March
I am involved with an upcoming installation for the Adelaide Fringe Festival, doing some sound and interactive work. This should be an interesting project - please come along and check it out, opening night is February 28th and the installation will be running through until March 2nd.
More information here: http://www.adelaidefringe.com.au/fringetix/icosa-44-interactive-crystalline-audio-visual-installation/4fbaa9c4-d977-47c2-a080-bcbd7813d413
We're also doing a Pozible campaign, which you can find below:

Expressions of Interest: Synth Building Workshop - Early 2014 in Adelaide
We're considering organising a 'Modular Synth - Electronic Building Workshop' with Elijah Vartto in early 2014 (possible dates: Feb 10 to 21).
The workshop would be run in 3-hour sessions over 5 days (after hours) (15 hours in total) and would involve building your own synth (similar vein to http://tinyurl.com/weirdsynth) with demonstrations and support by Elijah Vartto.
The workshop would cost around $150 per person with parts synth parts included in the price (students would have to provide their own case)."
If you are interested, can commit the time and money, please let me know at: sebastian.tomczak@adelaide.edu.au
Places are limited so first in best dress.
More Detail from Elijah:
-----------
I have worked on building electronic analogue instruments and modular synths, from PCB (printed circuit board) kits, in bursts of enthusiasm ever since joining the VICMOD group in Melbourne in 2006-7. VICMOD are an active group of modular synth building aficionados that meet monthly on a Sunday; affectionately termed 'Nerd Club' by some participants, it involves a lot of exchange of ideas and show and tell, bringing all kinds of built and bought instruments such as the AKS-synthi, loads of vintage synths, Doepfer modules and many more.
It was at these meetings that I was shown a glorious instrument built rather modestly into a VCR video case. It was a Weird Sound Generator, built from the Music From Outer Space designed kit. The beauty of the instrument is that it is a stand alone instrument not requiring a plethora of synth modules before a sound of real 'timbre' could be produced. This was rich, possessing six oscillators, two of which are designated to modulate with two other oscillator voices, all subject to the flick of more than one switch. In addition to this modulating aspect, it has a 'Low Pass Filter' with resonance built in. I then went on to build my own in addition to the other modular synth units through VICMOD.
In the course of living abroad I conducted a workshop on building the WSG through Plektrum Festival in Estonia in 2009. Approximately 12 people participated and all finished with a working instrument at the end. This despite the majority having never picked up a soldering iron. I fixed mistakes of soldering, and coached them to successfully complete their instruments.
For this workshop proposed in February, all electronic components, wiring and PCB will be provided, with guidance from myself on techniques of soldering and construction. The novice and naive should not be afraid. A great working instrument with a rich diversity of sonic qualities will be the result, and a realisation that building your own instrument is not the arcane art-form you might have first thought. The only consideration you must make is how would you like to enclose the instrument? Here you can be creative, functional, fancy or modest. VCR case, lunchbox, shoe-box, cigar box, cookie tin, teddy bear, these can all work, or if you like make your own box.

This Friday: Net Artist Music Videos feat. Rosa Menkman with little-scale
"As part of the 7 Days of Sound festival organised by [RHP] CDRs, an evening of music videos created and collaborated by net artists and online creatives from around the world, curated by blogger Prosthetic Knowledge, as well as VJ sets from VJ sets from Antonio Roberts (hellocatfood) and Michael Lightborne.
The selection here will not only demonstrate the talents of individual creatives, but also include examples where internet and computer culture have also had an influence in developing styles and identities related to the online world and where these influences have been taken to in the world of music videos. "

Pozible Campaign for SquareSounds Melbourne 2014
Chiptune, if you're not aware, is music made using (or sometimes emulating) old school video game consoles, and the other style we showcase for Square Sounds, is "retrotech' (music that has a retro synth aesthetic). They aren’t the best known genres despite having a very devoted fan base here in Melbourne. As such, there are some names on our most wanted list for Square Sounds Melbourne 2014 that require a little more financial support than we can comfortably afford for a festival that is mostly a labour of love, so we’re turning to Pozible - and you - to help make this a reality.
Get onto it here: http://www.pozible.com/project/32002/77180

Proper Japanese Translation of "Authenticity and Emulation"

The End of Pause Music
"As of June 4th, 2013, and with the release of our 100th offering,
Pause has officially decided to close its doors for good. In 2007, Eirik
(Phlogiston) and myself (Disasterpeace) started Pause to create a home
for ourselves and some of our favorite musicians to release music to the
public. In 6 years, the internet has changed quite drastically, and we
can safely say that our mission was a success, and that we're leaving at
a time when access to chipmusic, and tools for musicians in general,
have never been better. Many of those who were affiliated with Pause in
the past have continued to succeed with great projects of their own,
including the excellent netlabels Ubiktune (http://ubiktune.org/), Telefuture (http://telefuturenow.com/), and Pterodactyl Squad (http://ptesquad.com/), all of which are worth checking out.
Our collection will remain online for as long as humanly possible, so that those who never had the opportunity to explore our catalogue may do so. Thank you to everyone who joined in our efforts to create a home for our music, and shared in its appreciation. Much love and respect!"

Thank you for an excellent netlabel. The curation at Pause ensured a high level of output from all involved.

Rosa Menkman is Speaking in Adelaide on June 13th
The Dutch artist and theorist Rosa Menkman will be presenting next week in Adelaide.
--- WHEN ---
5PM ++, Thursday, 13 June
--- WHERE ---
EMU Computer Suite, Room 4.05,
Schulz Building, University of Adelaide
North Terrace Campus
--- ROSA MENKMAN ---

Every technology possesses its own inherent accidents. Rosa Menkman focuses on visual artifacts created by accidents in both analogue and digital media. The visuals she makes are the result of glitches, compressions, feedback and other forms of noise. Although many people perceive these accidents as negative experiences, Menkman emphasizes their positive consequences.
By combining both her practical as well as her academic background, Menkman merges her abstract pieces within a grand theory of artifacts (a glitch studies). Besides the creation of a formal "Vernacular of File Formats", within her static work, she also creates work in her Acousmatic Videoscapes. In these Videoscapes she strives to connect both sound and video artifacts conceptually, technically and sometimes narratively.
In 2011 Rosa wrote the Glitch Moment/um, a book on the exploitation and popularization of glitch artifacts (published by the Institute of Network Cultures), organized the GLI.TC/H festivals in both Chicago and Amsterdam and co-curated the Aesthetics symposium of Transmediale 2012. Besides this, Rosa Menkman is pursuing a PhD at Goldsmiths, London under the supervision of Matthew Fuller and Geert Lovink.
