The epoch of the generalist has arrived

"Technical skills are less important than creative thinking," lectures Netochka in an e-mail. "The epoch of the generalist has arrived -- again. Any fool can program and most do. Software engineers are emotionally inept. In today's unstable + dynamic environment they do not stand a chance."

Disparate Bodies: A three-way Network Performance (Via dance-tech list)

Posted by Marlon Barrios Solano on November 14, 2007 at 9:40pm

29th November 2007
Belfast (Sonic Arts Research Centre): 8PM UK TIME
Hamburg (Hochschule f=FCr Musik und Theatre): 9PM CET
Graz (Insitut f=FCr Elektronische Musik and Akustik): 9PM CET
[Admission Free]

Within the context of EU Culture 2007 project COMEDIA, the Sonic Arts

Research Centre, the Hochschule f=FCr Musik und Theatre Hamburg and the

Insitut f=FCr Elektronische Musik and Akustik (KUG Graz) present a
concert which showcases four unique strategies for music performance
over networks. This event presents instrumental, audio-visual and
laptop work and features music by John Cage, a network piece by Pedro

Rebelo and structured improvisations with a distributed piano trio
and a laptop trio. The concert will also take place in SecondLife
(www.secondlife.com)

Programme

Five (John Cage)
Cage's work is performed with a distributed quintet, making use of
Georg Hajdu's Quintet.net software for network performance.

Piano Trio
A pianist in each site forms a distributed trio performing a free
improvisation work. The performance utilises remote avatars developed

at SARC which abstract and display gestures from remote performers.

Frequencyliator Laptop Trio
Developed at SARC by Alain Renaud, the Frequencyliator acts as a hub
for laptop improvisation providing cues, distributing bandwidth and
facilitating negotiation between performers through a voting system.

Disparate Bodies 2.0 (Pedro Rebelo)
First performed as version 1.0 in Belfast, NY and Stanford as part of

NIME 2007, this work relies on the development of performative and
improvisational strategies which take advantage of network
performance scenarios through graphic notation and temporal
structuring. The work itself is a clash of disparate approaches which

form the basis of an investigation into relationships with musical
potential (between performers, performers and audiences, composition
and improvisation etc...). Help shape the performance by distributing

scores over space and time using the online db_editor.
The db_editor invites to public to shape the performance of Disparate

Bodies by manipulating various graphic score sources. The changing
position of each symbol is reflected in the order and duration of
each score element during the performance. By dragging the symbols
over the map you are editing two aspects of how the final performance

score will be put together and displayed to audiences and performers
on the three sites. The time of edit (shown on the right column)
determines the relative duration and order (most recent first) of
score elements.
The position relates to how prominent score element for each site
(e.g. a score element positioned over Belfast suggests that only
performers in Belfast will play that element). This editor will be
open till the 28th November 12:00 CET, when the final score sequence
will be assembled.

Welcome!

And catching up!
Hello all! Hi kelly.
It was great to see the network growing in real time.
I am in Bostom performing, as a video designer for the actress/Pamela Sneed. I writing this using the wirelss connection in the Bus terminal...taking the Chinatown bus!!
Performance went well. It is an interesting experience ro design video for theater...it is different that doing it for dance. This particularly because It is a very direct augmentation of her presence and give it containment (frame).
See documentation from show last December:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIzqeXp21Ek
I have not writetn in my own blog for a while. Busy...
I have been involved in VJ-U and a weekly netcast about visual performance. Got to go now!
