abre ojos - elements release on Darkwinter.com

Elements are a series of improvised audio-visual tracks based around the four alchemical elements of Earth, Air, Water & Fire. Drawing on the aesthetics of the Crowley Tarot painted by Lady Frieda Harris with imagery drawn from 50’s propaganda films these pieces combine long evolving drones from modular synths with sound reactive looping visuals and animated mandalas to create an immersive synaesthetic experience to give time for reflection and meditation.

Each week, for four weeks, a new element track will be released culminating in the fourth week with a limited edition DVD compiling all four tracks as well as an extra bonus fifth track, Spirit, which will only be available on the DVD. Purchase and ordering information will be found on Darkwinter.com or abreojos.net"

Lou Reed Uses The Haken Continuum

This one sent in via John:
"Was reading the music reviews in the New York Times and found this:

Music Review | Lou Reed
All Those Sounds From the Stage: Processed, and Not Always Pretty

'Although for half of the show, before picking up a guitar, he played a Continuum Fingerboard, a touch-sensitive instrument that depends on outside sound sources; it wasn’t clear whether Mr. Reed’s were guitar-related or not.'"

"A sound and light installation. When we're not there, this attic is playing a new genre of industrial symphony.....

What you're seeing is a dark attic space in which the frames of wood and the pipes are being lit by a very precise ray of light, giving us the illusion that the light comes from inside the object.

Each lit object has its own individual sound.

This was made in the attic of The Pavilion in Bexhyl on Sea, England. This is my first experiment, I'm preparing an exhibition for the Brighton Fringe based on this idea. I'm collaborating with Mike Blow who will put light sensors on each lit object to react with sound. The sonic result is amazing as it directly reacts to the ligh projected.

Come and see the exhbition called "Sonic Art" at The Blank Gallery in Brighton, between the 2nd and 16th May.
