Live at Netaudio Berlin 2009
September 28th, 2009
For those of you who hang around Berlin, I’ll be participating to the almighty Netaudio Festival – day program – with a showcase of my audiovisual performance for augmented bass guitar ‘I C::ntr::l Nature’ (check the project here) entirely made and performed with PureData.
I’ll be performing on Friday from 14.15 to 14.45h and for the remaining 30 minutes I’ll be explaining the functionality of ‘C::NTR::L’, the free software I developed for the performance . The software allows you to transform your standard musical instrument in an augmented audiovisual controller, it’s published under GPL license so free to be used and modified. If you’re interested you’re very welcome to drop by.
The festival will take place from 8th to 11th October at the wellknown Maria am Ostbahnhof (Mao).
I was really glad to get to know about my selection since Netaudio festival is the bulwark of free CC-licensed music, so it represents kind of _must_ for me.
Here you are the statement of this Berliner edition – via Netaudio website:
From the 8th to the 11th of October 2009, Netaudio Berlin will be gathering the international netaudio community for a four-day music and conference festival in Berlin, under the title “East meets West”. 2009 will mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain. We recall pictures of hands reaching out to pull people from both sides up onto the Berlin wall. The event will take place at Maria, a venue situated immediately on the former Berlin ‘death strip’ once dividing the city and the world into eastern and western hemispheres.
In recent years a netaudio landscape has emerged in the countries of Eastern Europe. Speakers, artists and netlabel managers from Eastern and Western Europe as well as from the USA are invited to find out more about the needs and possibilities, challenges and chances of netaudio under the various cultural frameworks and to discuss new opportunities for networking and collaboration across borders and cultures.
The line-up of the festival is generously eterogeneous, providing a day program including:
… and a night program too broad to be described in this article. Plenty of artists and genres – electronic, drum’n'bass, dubstep, hip hop, techno. Be sure to check the full program here. The live visuals will be curated by my dear friends Visual Berlin, don’t miss it!
