Workshop at Designing Interactive Systems (DIS) conference 2012:
Designing Musical Interactions for Mobile Systems
Tuesday 12 June 2012, Culture Lab Newcastle

---

Mobile music technology is a vast growth area, and has emerged as a field in which many of the specific design challenges and affordances of mobile technologies can be explored. The mobile is not just a smaller computer, and requires different tactics and strategies for user interaction. This workshop will discuss the specific interaction design challenges for building engaging and creative musical activities on mobile devices. Participants will share knowledge on interface design models that push the limits of what a mobile can offer for creating rich musical interactions. The workshop will culminate in an evening event, a public concert of mobile music.

Following the first event event of the BodyControlled series, BodyControlled #2 focuses on the idea of incompatible matter. While BC #1 was organized around the concept of “other spaces”, using the specific architecture at LEAP and provoking it in order to synthesize new environments, BC #2 combines space and sound.

---

Through exploring the physical reality of sound-instruments and objects, complex acoustic spaces emerge. Sound of any kind – vocals, instruments, vibrations – become a material themselves, a hybrid. Creating Matter-Incompatible, the exhibition focuses on searching for the hidden materiality of acoustics, where distinguishing between live-produced sound and mechanically generated playback becomes a challenging self-observation.

All performances will be available from 20.00 CET via live stream on

SCANZ 2013: THIRD NATURE
Call for projects

---

The concept of a third space – a zone of hybridity – traverses the cultural landscape from the writing of Homi Bhabba in the mid 1990s, to Sony advertising (see hypertext.rmit.edu.au/dac/papers/meguire.pdf). Hybridity is now embedded in creative and
cultural production and consumption.

---

A space of hybridity can assimilate potentially any set of concepts. SCANZ2013 3rdNature seeks to develop a fresh space, carrying memes from previous SCANZ events (which have all had an emphasis on environment) and other Intercreate projects that have involved
scientists, indigenous peoples and artists working together. We are aiming to build new knowledge and establish legacies around this work, unencumbered by old perspectives and distant categories.

---

We ignore the environmental crisis at our own peril. Integrating the indigenous perspective, creative environmental and scientific views on the environment is essential for continued human habitation of the planet. From these trajectories it is possible to conceive of a fresh hybrid space, composed of overlapping elements.

---

We ask tangata whenua, artists, technologists, teachers, environmentalists, scientists, philosophers, educationalists,
indigenous peoples, technologists and lecturers to contact us with ideas for talks, discussions, presentations, residency projects,
exhibition ideas for gallery space and a botanic garden. And to join us on the weekend of January 1st- 3rd, 2013 at a hui to share
knowledge and build resources.

---

Important Dates:
Early expression of interest: February 12,
2012
Residency proposed dates: Saturday 19 January to Monday 4
February,2013
Symposium proposed dates: February 1-3, 2013

---

Call
This is a call for project concepts for the fourth SCANZ residency to be held in New Plymouth, New Zealand early in 2013. Planned are: a two week residency and Open Lab beginning with a one night stay over at historic Owae marae, an exhibition at Puke Ariki museum, four projects in a local botanic garden, a Pecha Kucha night and a three day symposium with a presentation evening on the middle night.

---

3rd NAURE THEMES
This project involves creativity and innovation at the intersection of three critical interfaces:
*Acknowledging the environmental crisis
*Engaging with Maori and indigenous peoples
*Engaging the Sciences and Hybrid Arts

---

These three intersecting dialogues together provide space for a 3rd Nature, a fresh space for engaging with new knowledge and approaches vital to a sustainable civilisation.

---

Possible Activities
Exhibition projects – in Puke Ariki Museum
Residency projects at the Western Institute of Technology, Tarinaki (WITT) campus
Projects in Pukekura Park Botanic Garden
Workshops at WITT campus or local environs including the beach and parks

The Inventor Composer Coaction is a novel project designed to facilitate collaboration between composers and developers of bespoke digital or electronic instruments, for the creation of new music. It will take place at the Department of Music, University of Edinburgh, during the first half of 2012.

---

We invite inventors of new musical instruments to submit examples of their work. These will be displayed online, creating a public archive of new electronic instruments. The submissions will be reviewed by a group of upcoming and established postgraduate composers, at the University of Edinburgh. The composers will each select an instrument by way of a voting process. Over a three month period they will compose a new work for the instrument and professional ensemble, assisted through close communication with the inventor. The compositions will be performed in a concert of new music, Edinburgh, in 2012.

---

We invite submissions of new digital or electronic instruments for Inventors Composers Coaction 2012, an interdisciplinary collaborative project and concert. These will be reviewed by participating composers, at the University of Edinburgh, who will be able to vote for three instruments in order of preference. Inventors of the selected instruments will be provided with one night’s accommodation in Edinburgh in order to attend the event (April 2012 – to be confirmed), as well as a small contribution towards travel costs. Selected participants may be invited to present a short talk on one aspect of their creative practice.

---

Instruments may be:

---

purely software (e.g. built in Max/MSP, Supercollider, Pd) augmented instruments, including software, sensors etc. mobile devices that make use of smartphone technology novel hardware devices, repurposed controllers, NIMEs etc. may involve spatialisation techniques.

---

Please see http://www.inventorcomposer.net for submission details.
Deadline 6th January 2012.

---

I’m glad to see this archive available on-line again.
Here’s a forwarded message by Derek Holzer.

“After a 10 month hiatus, the Soundtransit project is back thanks to the generous hosting support of Turbulence.org.

---

SoundTransit is a collaborative, online community dedicated to field recording and phonography. Phonography is the art of recording sounds from the environment around us, with an emphasis on the unintentional sounds which often go unnoticed in our daily lives. An international community of phonographers collect and share their recordings, with interests ranging from recordings of natural or urban environments to improvised situations or soundwalks to the resonance of solid objects or the Earth’s atmosphere

---

In the BOOK section of this site, you can plan a sonic journey through various locations recorded around the world. In the SEARCH section, you can search the database for specific sounds by member artists from many different places. If you are a member of SoundTransit, you can also CONTRIBUTE your recordings for others to enjoy. The Creative Commons Attribution license encourages the sharing and reuse of all sounds on this website.

---

During 2010, our previous host in the Netherlands quadrupled the rent for our server, forcing us to move or consider closing. Turbulence.org graciously offered their support, and during 2011 we’ve been working together with them, getting everything up and running again.

---

Please visit us at

http://turbulence.org/soundtransit

---

to hear our collection of over 2000 recordings from 471 artists around the world, experience our unique way of traveling via sound and find out how you can help the SoundTransit project.

---

Huge thanks go out to Helen Thorington, Jo-Anne Green and Jesse Gilbert of Turbulence for their kindness and patience!”

Pillow Talk – a series of projection for performance documentaries, organized by Japanese media artist Yamaguchi Noriko.
“Performances cannot be shared by people of all the time, however much appreciation they received. Since they are consumed immediately and become “something that happened” very soon, their records should be all the more important. However, documentary movies of performing arts have not had frequent chances to be projected.
This exhibition is to create that opportunity for ourselves. Lying on the floor of a comfortable space with high ceiling, why donʼ t you enjoy these unexplored movies with us?”

---

Pillow Talk #3 took place last Saturday at the KCUA, Kyoto City University of Arts, Japan.
The event included screenings of 3 performances hosted at this year WRO Biennale; namely, my audiovisual work I C::ntr::l Nature, along with works by Istvan Kantor, Megan May Daalder. The programme of Pillow Talk also included works by Ichihara Hiroko, Sako Kojima and Tomohiko Kyogoku.
