Earzoom
Festival ZvoËnih Sonic Arts Festival
Umetnosti 2010
Inštitut za Raziskovanje Zvočnih Umetnosti (IRZU)
je bil ustanovljen leta 2008 z namenom zapolnjevanja
manka vsebin na interdisciplinarnem področju sodobnih
zvočnih umetnosti v lokalnem okolju. Tri osnovna
področja delovanja inštituta so: raziskovanje in razvoj
na področju avdio tehnologij (digitalna obdelava/
analiza signalov, oblikovanje interaktivnih vmesnikov,
nelinearna akustika, idr.), umetniška produkcija (razstave,
Instalacije, performansi, filmi) ter izobraževalne
dejavnosti (predavanja in delavnice), ki so namenjene
predvsem opismenjevanju mladih skladateljev ter intermedijskih umetnikov na področju digitalnih tehnologij in
konceptualnih pristopov v sodobnih zvočnih praksah.
IRZU – the Institute for sonic Arts Research was
founded in 2008 in Ljubljana with the aim of filling
a local content gap in the interdisciplinary field of
contemporary sonic arts. Our activities cover the
following three main areas: audio technology research
(digital signal processing, sonic interaction design, music
information retrieval, non-linear acoustics, etc.), artistic
productions (performances, exhibitions, installations,
films) and educational projects (lectures, workshops),
which are mostly aimed at transmitting basic knowledge
on the use of digital technologies and conceptual
approaches in sonic arts, to local composers and intermedia artists.
Festival EarZoom organiziramo že drugo leto zapored
v sodelovanju z mnogimi vladnimi in nevladnimi
organizacijami, ki so aktivno vpletene v produkcijo,
tako da prispevajo posamezne vsebine ali infrastrukturo.
Namen festivala je vzpostavitev referenčne mednarodne
platforme za dialog o napredku tako v polju tehničnega
razvoja kot tudi umetniških prijemov znotraj sodobnih
zvočnih praks.
In its second year, the EarZoom festival is being
produced in collaboration with several governmental and
non-governmental institutions, which are contributing
individual program segments as well as the infrastructure
for its realization. The aim of the festival is creating a
referential international platform for discussing the latest
developments within audio technology research and the
artistic trends of sonic practices.
Festival predstavlja koli štirideset umetnikov in
znanstvenikov - predstavnikov raziskovalnih inštitutov
z vsega sveta - ki preko konkretnih primerov oz. lastnih
projektov, ponazarjajo stanje razvoja na posameznih,
trenutno aktualnih področjih kot so: strojno poslušanje,
algoritmična kompozicija, novi vmesniki za glasbeno
izražanje, kodiranje telesnih gest, ubikvitarno
procesiranje, ambisonic sistemi za sintezo virtualnih
zvočnih okolij, itd. Ker ta področja v Sloveniji še niso
razvita in ker je IRZU ustanovljen prav s tem namenom,
da prične z razvojem in promocijo teh vsebin v lokalnem
okolju, je organizacija festivala kot je EarZoom za
uspešno implementacijo naših idej v praksi ključnega
pomena. S festivalom si ustvarjamo širši, mednarodni
kontekst, ki je nujno potreben za prepoznavanje
namena našega delovanja na lokalni ravni, kjer smo
kot mlada nevladna organizacija - brez zagotovljenih
finančnih sredstev - nenehno primorani argumentirati
svoje programske cilje in se tako boriti za obstoj. Za
EarZoom 2010 is featuring around forty international
artists and scientists presenting state of the art research in
exciting disciplines like machine listening, algorithmic
composition, new interfaces for musical expression,
gesture recognition, ubiquitous computing, ambisonic
systems for virtual sound environment synthesis, etc.
In Slovenia, these research areas are not yet developed,
which was also one of the main reasons for establishing
an Institute for Sonic Arts Research. Since IRZU is
a private initiative, the successful implementation
of its program agenda as a research, production and
education institute, relies strongly on the EarZoom
festival, which has a crucial function in promoting the
importance as well as creating an international context
for IRZU’s activities within the local environment. As
a non governmental organization, IRZU is constantly
required to legitimize its existence and fight for securing
the financial means required for running its program.
In order to operate, we needed to develop several
zagotavljanje delovanja inštituta se poslužujemo številnih
strategij, in ker po dveh letih delovanja ugotavljamo,
da večino energije vlagamo prav v ohranjanje samega
obstoja, namesto v programske vsebine, smo se odločili,
da vpeljemo v letošnji festival tudi to problematiko.
Vprašanja, ki določajo širši kontekst letošnjega festivala
in ga umeščajo še v nekoliko širše polje sodobnih
umetniških praks, so povezana s preživetvenimi
strategijami in vzpostavljanjem identitete v sistemu
nevladnega sektorja.
V sodelovanju z vrsto evropskih institucij: Transcultures:
center za inter-medijske in zvočne umetnosti (Mons,
BE), Nida Art Colony: interdisciplinarna umetnost,
izobraževanje in center za rezidence (Vilna/Nida, LT),
Kitchen Budimpešta: med-disciplinarni laboratorij za
nove medije (Budimpešta, HU), Pixelache: Festival
elektronskih umetnosti in sub-kultur (Helsinki, FI),
MigAA: Migrating Art Academies (Köln/DE, Vilna/LT,
Poitiers & Angoulême/FR) smo se povezali v mrežo,
oz. ustanovili projekt T.R.A.C.E.S. Ena izmed osnovnih
idej projekta je raziskovanje razmerij med uporom,
ki ga manjše organizacije v vsebinskem smislu gojimo
do institucionaliziranih praks ter adaptacijo lastnih
interesov oz. afirmacijo dominantnih programskih
direktiv, nastavljenih s strani državnih in zasebnih teles,
ki financirajo naše programe. T.R.A.C.E.S. pa odpira
tudi prostor za refleksijo umetniških in kuratorskih
praks ter ustvarja platformo za izmenjavo izkušenj in
znanja. Jedro festivala EarZoom je tri-dnevni simpozij,
na katerega smo povabili predstavnike tako vladnih kot
nevladnih organizacij ter inštitutov iz mednarodnega
prostora. Primarni namen simpozija je sicer predstavitev
raziskovalnih smernic v polju tehnoloških in umetniških
praks, posebna pozornost pa je letos namenjena
tudi umeščanju le-teh v sisteme delovanja institucij.
Izpostavljeni so lokalni politični konteksti, kot pogoji
na osnovi katerih so se skozi leta vzpostavljale različne
oblike interdisciplinarnih inštitutov in produkcijskih
platform. Cilj projekta T.R.A.C.E.S. je spregovoriti o
problemih in vprašanjih, ki se običajno odvijajo v ozadju
programskih vsebin, ki pa vendarle okupirajo dobršni del
delovnih resursov posameznih organizacij. Z izmenjavo
izkušenj iz različnih lokalnih kontekstov, želimo
vzpodbuditi pretok informacij o ključnih strategijah
pri vzpostavljanju in delovanju inštitucij, ki prinašajo
alternativne in inovativne vsebine. Na tak način lahko
recikliramo informacije ter razmislimo o možnostih
prenosa in re-kontekstualizacije nekaterih uspešnih
razvojnih taktik, kar bi v prihodnje lahko koristilo
nadaljnjemu razvoju posameznih „neodvisnih“ iniciativ.
different fund-raising strategies and after two years of
existence, it can be said that the efforts towards keeping
the institute alive and functioning are still exceeding the
efforts towards developing professional contents. For
this reason we decided to put these and other questions,
concerning survival and identity creation within the
institutional landscape, in the focus of this years festival
edition. This kind of perspective extends the scope of
the festival and opens a discussion concerning a broader
range of cultural workers sharing a similar situation.
In collaboration with several European institutions:
Transcultures: Centre for Intermedia and sonic arts &
cultures (Mons, BE), Nida Art Colony: Interdisciplinary
art, education & residency center (Vilnius/Nida, LT),
Kitchen Budapest: Cross-disciplinary new media lab
(Budapest, HU), Pixelache: Festival of electronic art
and subcultures (Helsinki, FI), MigAA: Migrating
Art Academies (Cologne/DE, Vilnius/LT, Poitiers &
Angoulême/FR) we created a network project called
T.R.A.C.E.S. - Transcultural Research, Artist, Curator
Exchange Series. One of our main ideas was to trace and
analyze the balance between the amount of resistance of
alternative institutions - proposing innovative contents
- towards established institutions and the amount of
adaptation of their original agendas in order to conform
with the program directives set by the funding bodies.
T.R.A.C.E.S. also extends a space for reflecting on artistic
and curatorial practices, while creating resources to share
our skills and knowledge. The core of EarZoom is a threeday symposium featuring artists, researchers and curators
representing governmental- and non-governmental
institutions from all over the world. The main aim of
the symposium is still the presentation of contemporary
trends in technology based art practices, but furthermore,
a critical reflection on how these particular contents are
interwoven with local institutional systems are being
encouraged. The task is to identify local political contexts
that represent the basis on which the evolution of research
and educational institutions, as well as production
platforms was taking place throughout the years. The
purpose of T.R.A.C.E.S. is to speak out about the internal
working concepts and questions which are usually
unfolding behind the scenes. Nevertheless these survival
strategies occupy a large portion of an organization’s
working resources and what is more, they even exhibit a
strong correlation with its actual program/content outputs.
Through exchange of individual experiences from local
environments we would like to encourage the information
flow on key strategies of establishing new / alternative
institutions. In this way we can re-cycle information
and consider the re-contextualization of successful
solutions and development tactics in order to improve the
Miha Ciglar Festival Director sustainability of different local initiatives.

Public sound objects: Od svetovnega spleta
do realnega sveta
The Public Sound Objects (PSOs) project consists of the
development of a networked musical system, which is
an experimental framework to implement and test new
concepts for on-line music communication. The new
project of a Public interactive installation based PSOs
system was commissioned in 2007 by Casa da Musica,
the main concert hall space in Porto and it was installed
permanently in 2009. It resulted in a distributed musical
structure with up to ten interactive performance terminals
distributed along the Casa da Musica’s hallways,
collectively controlling a shared acoustic piano. The
installation allows the visitors to collaborate remotely
with each other, within the building, using a software
interface custom developed to facilitate collaborative
music practices and with no requirements of previous
knowledge of musical performance.
Projekt Public Sound Objects (PSOs) se ukvarja
z razvojem med-mrežnega glasbenega sistema
eksperimentalne narave, ki preizkuša nove koncepte
glasbene komunikacije preko svetovnega spleta. 2007 je
bila naročena javna interaktivna instalacija PSOs sistema
v Casa da Musica, glavni koncertni dvorani v Portu, ter
dokončno postavljena leta 2009. Realizirana je bila kot
porazdeljena glasbena struktura oz. glasbeni inštrument
z do 10-imi interaktivnimi terminali, nameščenimi po
hodnikih Case da Musica. Preko posameznih terminalov
lahko več performerjev hkrati upravlja oz. igra na en
akustični klavir. Instalacija omogoča obiskovalcem
da performirajo skupaj s tem, da se hkrati nahajajo v
različnih prostorih v isti stavbi. Razvit je bil poseben
vmesnik, ki uporabniku omogoča skupno upravljanje
tradicionalnega glasbenega inštrumenta brez predhodnega Produkcija / Production:

Rojen 1959 v Schwanenstadt, v Avstriji. Po prvotnem
študiju grafične umetnosti se je navdušil nad Free
Jazzom. Konča študij kompozicije v Gradcu in na Dunaju
pod mentorji: Gösta Neuwirth in Roman HaubenstockRamati. Od leta 1982 živi v Berlinu, kjer je iniciral in
realiziral številne festivale in koncerte. 1988 ustanovi
zasedbo “Zwischentöne”. 1993 je bil gostujoči profesor
na Univerzi za Glasbo v Gradcu. Kot gostujoči dirigent
je vodil zasedbe: ‘Klangforum Wien’, ‘United Berlin’
in ‘Insel Musik Ensemble’. Od leta 1990 deluje kot
samozaposleni umetnik – glasbenik. Je eden redkih
umetnikov, ki danes uporabljajo hrup brez kakršnegakoli
simbolizma, torej zgolj hrup sam po sebi, kot glasbo.
Zanimajo ga vprašanja o naravi zvoka, časa in prostora.
Njegova dognanja so z vpogledi v repeticijo/monotonijo,
redukcijo/odvečnost, gostoto/entropijo itd. postavila na
glavo mnoge temeljne predpostavke v glasbi.
Peter Ablinger was born in Schwanenstadt, Austria in
1959. He first studied graphic arts and became enthused
by free jazz. He completed his studies in composition
with Gösta Neuwirth and Roman Haubenstock-Ramati
in Graz and Vienna. Since 1982 he has lived in Berlin,
where he has initiated and conducted numerous festivals
and concerts. In 1988 he founded the Ensemble
Zwischentöne. In 1993 he was a visiting professor
at the University of Music, Graz. He has been guest
conductor of ‘Klangforum Wien’, ‘United Berlin’ and
the ‘Insel Musik Ensemble’. Since 1990 Peter Ablinger
has worked as a freelance musician. Peter Ablinger is
one of the few artists today who uses noise without any
kind of symbolism - not as a signifier for chaos, energy,
entropy, disorder, or uproar; not for opposing something,
or being disobedient or destructive; not for everything,
for eternity, or for what-have-you. As in all these cases
of music deliberately involving noise, noise is the case,
but for Ablinger: this alone. Peter Ablinger has also
come a long way in questioning the nature of sound,
AT time, and space (the components usually thought central
to music), and his findings have jeopardized and made
dubious conventions usually thought irrefutable. These
ablinger.mur.at insights pertain to repetition and monotony, reduction and
redundancy, density and entropy.

Quadraturen je serija instalacij, elektro-akustičnih in
koncertnih del, oz. eno delo, ki se pojavlja v različnih
instancah kot simfonični orkester, instalacija, ali kot
računalniško upravljan klavir.
1. Zmeraj se izhaja iz „akustične fotografije“ oz.
fonografa. To je lahko zvočni posnetek česarkoli: govora,
cestnega hrupa, glasbe, itd.
2. Časovna in frekvenčna os izbranega „fonografa“ se
nato kvantizirata v mrežo diskretnih enot - „kvadratov“, ki
so lahko reprezentirane/i skozi, npr. sekunde v časovni- in
pol-toni v frekvenčni domeni.
3. Tako dobimo mrežo oz. partituro, ki jo lahko
reproduciramo v različnih medijih, kot so npr.
Tradicionalni instrumenti, računalniško upravljan klavir,
ali beli šum.
Quadraturen (“Squarings”) is a cycle of installation-,
electroacoustic-, and concert-pieces, or, one work that
appears in one instance as symphony orchestra, in another
as sound installation and in the next as a computercontrolled player piano.
1. The first step is always an acoustic photograph
(“phonograph”). This can be a recording of anything:
speech, street noise, music.
2. Time and frequency of the chosen “phonograph” are
dissolved into a grid of small “squares” whose format
may, for example, be 1 second (time) to 1 second
(interval).
3. The resulting grid is the score, which is then to be
reproduced in different media: on traditional instruments,
computer controlled piano, or in white noise.
Reprodukcijo „fonografov“ s pomočjo akustičnih
inštrumentov Ablinger primerja s foto-realizmom v
slikarstvu. Tehnični aspekt serije „Quadraturen“ primerja s
postopki, pri katerih se uporablja tehnika mreže za prenos
fotografij. Kadar uporabljamo inštrumente na katere igrajo
ljudje, je potrebno mrežo razširiti (upočasniti), zato, da
je interpretacija sploh možna. V tem primeru rezultat
transformacije, ni toliko reprodukcija originala, pač pa
je zgolj neke vrste poskus grobe primerjave originala
z reprodukcijo ustvarjeno s pomočjo inštrumentalnih
zvokov. Z uporabo manjših zvočnih zrn pri reprodukciji,
npr. 16 enot na sekundo (to je meja zmogljivosti repeticije
akustičnega klavirja), se je originalu možno približati do
meje prepoznavnosti. Z nekoliko prakse pri poslušanju
računalniško upravljanega klavirja, je možno prepoznati /
dekodirati celo govorjene besede, stavke.
The reproduction of “phonographs” by instruments can
be compared to photo-realist painting, or - what describes
the technical aspect of the “Quadraturen” more precisely
-with techniques in the graphic arts that use grids to
transform photos into prints. When using humanly played
instruments the grid has to be enlarged
(slowed down) to remain playable - thus the result of
the transformation is not so much a reproduction of the
original but an approach to, or a situation of comparison
between instrumental sounds and the original sound
source. Using a smaller grain, e.g. 16 units per second
(about the limit of the player piano), the original
source approaches the border of recognition within the
reproduction. With practice listening the player piano can
even perform structures possible for a listener to transpose
into/understand as spoken sentences.
Glavi namen projekta vsekakor ni avtentična reprodukcija
originala, temveč raziskovanje meje med abstraktno
glasbeno strukturo in nenadnim prestopom v popolno
prepoznavnost. Izpostavljeno je razmerje med glasbenimi
kvalitetami in „fono-realizmom“, oz. opazovanje realnosti
skozi glasbo.
Actually however, my main concern is not the literal
reproduction itself but precisely this border-zone between
abstract musical structure and the sudden shift into
recognition - the relationship between musical qualities
and “phonorealism”: the observation of “reality” via
“music”.

Z vključevanjem študentov različnih strok v usmeritev
v oblikovanje progama, se projekt BOKS fokusira na
povezovanje študentov umetnosti s študenti drugih
fakultet. Študente umetnosti poskuša pripraviti na sistem,
v katerega bodo vstopili po končanem izobraževanju,
ter odpreti umetniško prakso drugim družbenim poljem.
BOKS želi vzpostaviti točko za izmenjavo kritične in
kreativne mlade misli, ki potencialno lahko ponudi nove
odgovore na družbena vprašanja. V interesu BOKS-a
je delovanje, ki spodbuja iskanje in vzpostavljanje

duo, the Bent Leather Band has developed a uniquely
Australian [Free] approach to music making. Joanne
Cannon and Stuart Favilla’s music sets virtuosity
and duo improvisation against a visual spectacle of
electronic leather Stradivari. These instruments, made
in collaboration with Tasmanian leather artist Garry
Greenwood, include the dragon headed light-harps,
serpents and monsters. Inspired by the instrument making
traditions of the Renaissance, Baroque and Indian music
traditions, their work embodies sensor technologies,
synthesis and signal processing techniques, which
achieve a fine degree of expressive refinement.
Dedicated to the art of computer music, their unique
perspective encompasses the paradigm of live ensemble
improvisation and the nature of playability [developing
expressive practicable instruments] and considers that
these two elements should be in governance with a
musical language. Bent Leather Band’s improvised
explorations of Percy Grainger’s Free Music have been
recognized by a number of International prizes including
the 2004 Karl Szucka Preis and the 2006 IAWM New
Genre Prize. They have performed regularly throughout
Australia, Europe [Aarhus, Barcelona, Basel, Belfast,
Paris, Genova, Padova] and Asia.
Delo raziskuje koncepte „Proste Glasbe“ (Free Music)
Percyja Graingerja „polzeči toni, mikro intervali,
nepravilni ritmi“ [Grainger, 1951], ki jih zoprestavlja s
koncepti muziciranja 21. Stoletja. Skladba sestoji iz solo
in duo delov, odigranih na elekro-usnjenih glasbenih
inštrumentih: Svetlobna harfa, Serpentinski fagot in
Contra-monster.

Bent Leather Band presents Children of Grainger a
concert/exhibition work exploring Percy Grainger’s
free music life and legacy. Grainger’s free music; i.e.
“music using gliding tones, very small intervals and
irregular rhythms” [Grainger, 1951] is juxtaposed within
the context of 21st Century music making. Children of
Grainger features solo and duo performances of by the
Bent Leather Band showcasing their incredible electronic
leather instruments including the Light-harp, Serpentinebassoon and Contra-monster.
This lecture presents research undertaken by the Bent
Leather Band investigating the application of live
Ambisonics to large digital-instrument ensemble
improvisation. Their playable approach to live ambisonic
projection is inspired by the work of Trevor Wishart and
presents a systematic investigation of the potential for
live spatial motion improvisation.

Veliko je še na zalogi: bogata prihodnost
raËunalniške glasbe
Ko rečemo, da se tehnologija razvija hitro s tem izgubimo
že dragocen čas. Mar bi ga bili porabili za dohajanje in
razumevanje vsega tega razvoja. Milijarda računalnikov
in tri milijarde mobilnih telefonov so le začetek masovne
produkcije in konzuma vsebin, ki sproža konflikt med
pasivnostjo in aktivno interakcijo uporabnikov. V
generativni glasbi lahko zgolj en sam proces pripelje
do neštetih glasbenih rezultatov. Razsežnosti produktov
enega glasbenega stroja lahko zlahka presežejo kapacitete
človeške percepcije in razumevanja. V dobi obsesivnega
spreminjanja se delo s stabilno tehnologijo morda zdi
nedosegljivo razkošje, digitalno arhiviranje pa se bo
morda izkazalo le kot jalovo prizadevanje. A bodo
medijski arheologi utegnili ohraniti „Lyre Hero“, ali pa
bodo preveč zaposleni z delom na lastnih umetniških
projektih? V prezentaciji bomo deležni obilice elektronske
glase in glasbene tehnologije, obdelali bomo prihodnost
izvajalcev in raziskovalcev ter povzeli nekatere
spekulacije izbranih avtorjev znanstvene fantastike.
To say that technology was fast moving would already
have wasted precious moments that might be better spent
catching up. One billion computers and three billion
mobile phones are just the beginning of mass content
creation and consumption, with the balance of our
time between passivity and active interaction a zone of
dispute. In generative music, even a single process can
lead to innumerable musical products; understanding the
scope of the outputs from a musical machine can take
lifetimes. In the face of obsessive change, working with
a stable musical technology can seem an impossible
luxury, and digital archiving a futile pursuit. Will media
archaeologists preserve Lyre Hero, or be too busy
working on their own art projects? In this presentation we
will encounter the fevered outpouring of electronic music
and music technology, the futurology of practitioners and
researchers, and even the speculations of selected science
fiction authors.

Jurij Dobriakov Imagining Outsider Culture
in Today’s Lithuania
Predavanje
LT
Sodobna ideja alternativne kulture v Litvi
As contemporary culture becomes increasingly projectbased, funding-oriented, and intertwined with institutions
of power and their agendas, there emerges a certain
longing and desire for a more communal, remote,
sectarian – in short, outsider brand of culture. For several
years already, a peculiar trend of moving out of the urban
centre in the direction of the rural periphery with the
aim of establishing independent artistic communities,
alternative culture centres, semi-fictional secretive
organizations and even remote family compounds has
been observable in Lithuania, yet it remains poorly
researched and discussed as a phenomenon. Are we
witnessing a re-incarnation of the 1960s-1970s’ “outsider
culture”, or is it rather largely a product of imagination?
Furthermore, can authentic outsider culture exist today
at all, both ideologically and economically? What are the
possible scenarios of “opting out” of the official culture in
a country like Lithuania?
Med tem, ko sodobna kultura postaja zmeraj bolj
usmerjena v projektno delo, pridobivanje subvencij ter
v povezovanjem z močnimi institucijami in njihovimi
agendami, se pojavlja tudi potreba in želja po bolj
alternativnih oblikah kulture. Že več let lahko v Litvi
zaznamo tendenco, izogibanja urbanemu okolju in
seljenja umetniških centrov in dejavnosti na periferijo.
Vzpostavljanje takšnih neodvisnih umetniških skupnosti,
centrov, delno-fiktivnih zaprtih organizacij ter celo
oddaljenih družinskih struktur, je trenutno še dokaj
slabo dokumentirano in raziskano. A morda doživljamo
reinkarnacijo alternativne kulture šestdesetih in
sedemdesetih let, ali pa se nam v večji meri to zgolj
dozdeva? A lahko avtentična alternativna kultura dan
danes – tako ideološko kot ekonomsko – sploh še
obstaja? Kakšne so sploh realne možnosti izstopa iz
uradne kulture v državi kot je Litva? Produkcija / Production:

AT Kako raËunalniki poslušajo glasbo
www.ofai.at
Še pred desetimi ali dvajsetimi leti so povprečni ljubitelji
glasbe posedovali okoli nekaj tisoč vinilnih ali CD plošč,
lokalne prodajalne plošč pa so bile glavni dobavitelj
glasbenih medijev. Danes je na milijone skladb vsakomur
dostopnih preko svetovnega spleta po zelo nizki ceni ali
celo brezplačno. Kako lahko torej ob vsej tej ponudbi
oboževalci glasbe danes najdejo glasbo, ki jim je všeč?
Področje „Music Information Retrieval“ (ekstrakcija
glasbenih informacij) je nova interdisciplinarna znanstvena
veda, katere cilj je, naučiti računalnike poslušanja glasbe.
Če se takšno (strojno) „razumevanje“ glasbe lahko dovolj
približa človeški percepciji glasbe, potem računalniki
lahko priporočajo glasbo ljudem ter jim pomagajo pri
iskanju / odkrivanju glasbe, ki sovpada s posameznikovim
individualnim glasbenim okusom. Predavanje bo podalo
pregled nad tehnikami strojne percepcije glasbe ter
predstavilo aplikacijo za glasbeno priporočanje, ki so
jo raziskovalci ÖFAI razvili v sodelovanju z avstrijsko
radijsko postajo FM4 - www.soundpark.at.

About ten or twenty years ago a music enthusiast was
owner of maybe a few thousand vinyl or CD albums
and a local record dealer the main supplier of music
media. Today millions of songs are available via Internet
for everyone at very low or even no cost at all. But
how can music lovers find what they like in this ever
increasing offer? Music Information Retrieval is a new
interdisciplinary science that aims at enabling computers
to listen to music. If such music “understanding”
sufficiently mimics human perception of music,
computers are able to recommend songs to users and
help them find and discover the music they like in this
ever growing supply of digital media. This talk gives an
overview of how computers are able to listen to music
and presents a music recommendation service that has
been developed together with the Austrian radio station
FM4 (www.soundpark.at).

Predavanje
Singularna med-kulturnost išËe
nove naËine preživetja
Phillipe Franck bo predstavil interdisciplinarni center za elektronske
in zvočne umetnosti v Monsu, Belgija. Obrazložil bo njegov trans/
med-kulturni pristop povezovanja različnih umetniških disciplin
z digitalnimi tehnologijami. Posebni poudarek bo na zvočni
umetnosti kot med-disciplinarno povezavo (festival City Sonic).
Odprl bo definicijo digitalne/inter/medijske kulture/umetnosti,
ki jo reprezentira med drugim skozi festivalsko platformo „Les
Transnumériques“ in obrazložil potrebo po grajenju različnih
omežij za produkcijo in disseminacijo. V drugem delu prispevka
bo preizpraševal možnosti povezovanja manjših „alternativnih“
neprofitnih kulturnih organizacij z večjimi inštitucijami, brez da se
koncepti manjših pri tem razblinijo ali pa jih večje pogoltnejo. Kako
lahko takšen med-kulturen in neodvisen (od česa sploh?) pristop
preživi v sistemu kjer dominira konformistična in zabavna kultura.
Je „alternativna“ oblika med-umetnosti ali med-kulture sploh
mogoča in obstojna v trenutni ekonomsko-politični situaciji? Kako
se lahko borimo za singularnosti in kako lahko z omejenimi sredstvi
dosežemo občinstvo? Kako se je razvila „kultura menjave“ vse od
let kiber-utopije?

Philippe Franck will start with a short presentation of his
interdisciplinary Centre for electronic and sound culture,(in Mons,
Belgium) explaining his transcultural/prospective approach
connecting various art disciplines to the digital technologies,
with a focus on sound as an interdisciplinary link (with the sound
art festival City Sonic), an open definition of digital/inter/media
culture/arts (represented among other events, with Transcultures’
nomadic festival-platform Les Transnumériques) and the need to
build valid production/diffusion/creation networks. Another part
of his intervention will question how small “alternative” non profit
cultural organizations can connect with bigger institutions without
being soon disintegrated or integrated. How can such a transcultural
and “independent” (but from what exactly?) approach can survive
in a growing conformist entertainment culture? Is an “alternative”
form of inter-arts and trans-cultures still possible and durable in
the current economical-political conditions? How can we fight for
singularities and reach the audience with limited means? How has
the “culture of exchange” evolved since the cyber utopian years?

Glasbena improvizacija in raËunalniki: in-time
performans
Ena izmed bolj očitnih razlik med komponirano in
improvizirano glasbo je ta, da se slednja odvija v
realnem času, medtem, ko so deli prve konstruirani izven
realnega časa. Ta trditev naj ne bi zanikala posluževanja
kompozicijskih strategij pri improvizirani glasbi,
temveč zgolj izpostavila, da je časovni (in-time) aspekt
improvizacije oz. način, kako je improvizacijska praksa
vključena v koncept časovnosti, eden njenih ključnih
karakteristik. Temporalne lastnosti strojne percepcije in
reakcije se v vseh aspektih razlikujejo od človeških. V
okviru računalniške improvizacije je potrebno te razlike
upoštevati/vračunati, in sicer, tako pri konstrukciji
vmesnika kot pri konstrukciji inštrumenta. V predstavitvi
bom pokazal, kako ti problemi vplivajo na moje
umetniško in raziskovalno delo.
Rojen 1972 v Avstriji. Deluje v polju zvočne in intermedijske umetnosti. Njegova dela se manifestirajo v
oblikah interaktivnih in med-mrežnih avdio-vizualnih
instalacij, fotografij, instrumentalnih kompozicij in
elektro-akustične skupinske improvizacije. Kompozicije
in instalacije je predstavil na mnogih mednarodnih
festivalih. Kot izvajalec sodobne komponirane glasbe
ter strukturiranih in prostih improvizacij ima za sabo več
kot 150 javnih nastopov. Redno sodeluje z renomiranimi
umetniki s podrocja glasbe, gledališča in videa.
Njegovo znanstveno-raziskovalno delo se osredotoča
na področje strojnega poslušanja in učenja. Razvija
komercialno in odprto-kodno programsko opremo,
elektronske inštrumente ter sisteme interaktivnih medijev.
Koncipira in izvaja multi-medijske instalacije, zvočni
inženiring, mastering in CD / DVD produkcije. Študira
tehnično fiziko v Linzu. Kasneje opravlja univerzitetni
tečaj računalniške glasbe in elektronskih medijev. Na
Dunaju opravi magistrski študij: Interaktivni elektronski
inštrumenti. Od 2003 predava na univerzi za aplikativne
umetnosti in na Univerzi za glasbo in scenske umetnosti

One of the perhaps more obvious differences between
composed and improvised music is the fact that the
latter unfolds in real-time, whereas parts of the former
is constructed outside of real-time. This is not to say,
however, that improvised music is void of compositional
strategies, only that the in-time aspect of improvisation
- i.e. the way that the practice of improvisation is
embedded in time - is one of its important and significant
features. Furthermore are the temporal properties of a
machine in every respect different from those of a human,
something which the computer improviser has to address
either in the ways the interface is constructed, or in the
ways that the computer instruments are designed (or
both). In my presentation I will show how these issues
influence both my artistic practice and my research.
Thomas Grill (digital sounds) and Matija Schellander
(double bass) have both been working in experimental
and improvised music for most diverse projects,
frequently cross-bordering artistic fields. Although both

konkretne glasbe lotil sam, kasneje pa se med l. 1989 in 2002
izobraževal na CFMI na univerzi v Lyonu, kjer danes uči,
prireja delavnice o konkretni glasbi, vlogi ojačevalcev zvoka
in snemanju zvoka tako s praktične, kot teoretske ravni. Na
teoretski ravni je Marchetti v Franciji objavil kar nekaj knjig
in esejev, najbolj odmevna pa je njegova študija ustvarjanja
skladatelja Michela Chiona. Pred leti je ustanovil lasten studio,
hkrati pa kot glasbenik- improvizator v sistem povezanih
ojačevalcev zvoka, mikrofonov, magnetofonskega traku
sodeluje s številnimi ustvarjalci in kolektivi. Marchetti je eden
pomembnih ustvarjalcev, ki je dediščino konkretne glasbe
prestavil iz institucionalnega miljeja na raven improvizirane
glasbe, pa čeprav snuje na obeh ravneh hkrati.
French musician, composer, improviser, teacher, theoretician,
poet and writer Lionel Marchetti is an heir to the French school
of musique concrète developed under the influence of its
pioneer Pierre Schaeffer. Since 1993 he has also been involved
with Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM), the widely
known organisation for musique concrète in Paris. Initially,
he was self-taught, then studied at the CFMI of the University
of Lyon between 1989 and 2002, where he continues to
teach, hold workshops on musique concrète, the role of sound
amplifiers and sound recording, covering both practical and
theoretical aspects. Marchetti has published several theoretical
books and essays in France, with his study of the work of
composer Michel Chion receiving the widest recognition.
Some years ago he set up his own studio and he continues to
collaborate with numerous artists and collectives as a musician
and improviser, working with sound amplifiers, microphones
and magnetic tape. Marchetti is one of the major composers to
have taken musique concrète out of institutions into the realm
of improvised music, while continuing to work on both levels.

Švicarski skladatelj, improvizator, vizualni in zvočni umetnik
Norbert Möslang je v poznih sedemdesetih letih skupaj z
Andyjem Guhlom začel ustvarjati svobodno improvizirano
glasbo po vzoru sodobne tradicije tovrstne glasbe iz Stare
celine od šestdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja. Kot Voice Crack
sta utelesila lasten koncept tvorjenja elektronske glasbe v
primežu živega improviziranja, kasneje poimenovan ‘cracked
everyday electronics’. Na sledi tradicije Johna Cagea in
zgodnjih elektronskih eksperimentatorjev tipa Morphogenesis,
Hugh Davies in drugih, sta z ozvočevanjem notranjih
mehanizmov vplivala na številne današnje ustvarjalce v polju
sodobne elektro-akustične in elektronske glasbe. Norbert
Möslang deluje kot solist, bodisi kot improvizator v različnih
zasedbah. Ob tem razstavlja svoje slike po švicarskih galerijah,
z zvočnimi instalacijami pa je gostoval širšem po svetu. Kot
glasbenik nastopa v Evropi, ZDA, Avstraliji in na Japonskem.
Since the late 1970s Swiss composer, improviser, visual and
sound artist Norbert Möslang has been creating free improvised
music together with Andy Guhl, following the contemporary
tradition of such music on the Old Continent which dates back
to the 1960s. As Voice Crack, the duo embodied their own
concept of creating electronic music in a live improvisation
set-up, which they later called ‘cracked everyday electronics’.
Following the tradition of John Cage and early electronic
experimenters like Morphogenesis, Hugh Davies and others,
their amplifying of inner mechanisms has influenced many
contemporary artists working in electro-acoustic and electronic
music. Norbert Möslang works as a solo artist and improviser
in different ensembles. He has also exhibited his paintings in
various Swiss galleries, while his sound installations have taken
him around the world. He performs as a musician in Europe,
the USA, Australia and Japan.

SpectralConway je spektralna implementacija celularnih
avtomatov (CA) oz. natančneje, igre „Game of
Life“ Johna Conwaya. Projekt zavrača tradicionalno
paradigmo kvantizirane mreže celularnih avtomatov
v prid frekvenčnemu kontinuumu. Ker uporabljamo
CA za manipulacijo nepredvidljivih mešanic vhodnih
zvokov, ki se lahko pojavljajo paralelno ali v seriji, je
potreben pristop v frekvenčni domeni. V predavanju
bodo predstavljeni razlogi za takšen pristop in koncept
na katerem temelji algoritem. Implementacija bo
postavljena v kontekst trenutnega razvoja s področja
celularnih avtomatov, predstavljena pa bo tudi umetniška
manifestacija projekta: skladba Whitewater, ki bo v
sodelovanju s saksofonistom Markom Karlovčcem

SpectralConway is a spectral implementation of cellular
automata (CA), specifically, John Conway’s Game of Life
(GoL). The process eschews the traditional quantised grid
paradigm of the CA in favour of a frequency continuum.
A frequencial approach is necessary because we use the
CA to effect a rough and unpredictable crossbreeding
between input sounds; which may be simultaneous or
sequential. This presentation outlines the reasons for
taking this approach, the concept behind the algorithm,
contextualises this approach within new developments in
CA, and assesses the algorithm in the context of the piece
Whitewater, which will be performed later in the festival.

Kako preživeti v post-sovjetskem umetniškem
sistemu oz. kako vzpostaviti mednarodno
institucijo v svojevrstni državi
Litva je ena izmed tistih baltskih držav, pri katerih je na
področju umetnosti še danes prisoten oz. zaznaven vpliv
sovjetskega institucionalnega sistema. V zgodnjih devetdesetih
letih se je v Litvi pojavil in uveljavil tudi zahodnjaški koncept
institucionalnega sistema. Umetniki tako prehajajo iz enega
sistema v drugega, med tem ko so neodvisne – s strani
umetnikov inicirane – institucije/iniciative zelo redke. Poleg
tega je v polju sodobne umetnosti zaznaven tudi primanjkljaj
zainteresirane javnosti/publike, saj le-to običajno sestavljajo
zgolj kulturni delavci. V takšnem kontekstu se vzpostavlja
nova organizacija (otvoritev: Marec, 2011), in sicer v majhnem
mestecu Nida na litvanski obali. Nida Art Colony (www.colony.
lt) je le oddelek velike institucije: Umetniške Akademije Vilna,
vendar ima svoje lastne namene in strategijo razvoja. Glavna
vprašanja, ki bodo načeta v prezentaciji so naslednja: Kako
lahko interdisciplinarne umetniške prakse pritegnejo novo
občinstvo?; Kako lahko mednarodna organizacij vzpostavi
program namenjen mednarodnemu občinstvu in kako lahko
hkrati preživi v ruralnem okolju ter ohrani stik z lokalno
skupnostjo? Prav tako bodo načete teme ekologije in ekonomije
trajnostnega razvoja v post-sovjetskem in post-kriznem okolju.
Lithuania could be described as one of the countries in postcommunist block with inherited soviet art institutional system
which is still quite strong. Western concept of art institution
has arrived in Lithuania in the beginning of 1990s and has
established as well. Artists are fluctuating from one system
to another, whereas self-started (artist-run) initiatives are very
rare. Moreover, contemporary art suffers from the lack of
the audience which is usually the same people – mainly art
professionals. In such a context a new organization is being
opened (2011 March) in Nida which is a very small resort on
Baltic Sea coast in Lithuania. Nida Art Colony (www.colony.lt)
is a department of the big institution (Vilnius Academy of Arts),
however it has its own goals and strategy. The main questions
in the presentation and discussion are how interdisciplinary art
practices could bring new audience to “art” events and how
an international art institution could set-up its program for
international audience and at the same survive in rural settings
with a good relationship to community. The topics of ecologies
Produkcija / Production: and economies of sustainable survival in post-soviet and postIRZU, Moderna galerija, Projekt BOKS crisis environment are going to be touched as well.
Agoston deluje na področju zvoka, tako v tradicionalnem
kot v eksperimentalnem smislu, ter na področju vizualne
umetnosti, kjer se poslužuje odprto-kodnih orodij.
Zanimajo ga koncepti interakcije, eksperimentalnih
medijev, obdelave signala, in zvočne umetnosti.
Ukvarja se z umetniškimi instalacijami v katere
vključuje dinamične sisteme, postavlja eksperimentalne
spletne strani in sestavlja vmesnike za avdio-vizualne
performanse. V zadnjem času raziskuje možnosti
ubikvitarnega računalništva ter s tem povezanih
interakcijskih metod. Njegova dela so bila med drugim
razstavljena v Nemčiji, Italiji, Poljski in v Kunsthalle
v Budimpešti. Nastopil je na festivalih kot so: Sziget
Festival, Making New Waves Festival, Pixelache Festival
Helsinki, Piksel Festival Bergen, Audio Art Festival,
Krakow, itd. Redno vodi delavnice interakcijskih tehnik,
zvočnega dizajna ter programskega jezika PD – Pure Data.
Agoston mainly works with sound (traditional and
experimental) and image (still and motion) using free and
opensource tools. He has a deep interest in interaction
design, experimental media, signal processing and sound
art. He usually creates dynamic systems for installations,
doing experimental websites, and build interfaces for
audiovisual live performances. Recently his focus
of interest turned into the directions of ubiquituous
computing, device and object related human interactions.
His works have been exhibited in Germany, Italy, Poland,
and in the Kunsthalle Budapest, Hungary among others.
He performed at the Sziget Festival, the Making New
Waves Festival, and at the Pixelache Festival, Helsinki,

Skladbe serije Silent Construction, se nanašajo na
komponiranje inštrumenta samega. Komponiranje
skladbe lahko v tem primeru razumemo torej kot
komponiranje inštrumenta. Akt konstruiranja inštrumenta
pomešamo z aktom komponiranja. Inštrumenti so
komponirani: so kulturni konstrukti. Proces kompozicije
ne interpretiramo striktno kot oblikovanje in organizacijo
zvoka, temveč tudi kot kompozicijo okolja ali prostora,
ki zavzame konkretno formo šele s performativnim
aktom. Izbira strategij zajemanja informacij in mapiranja
podatkov so kompozicijski akti. Skladbe serije Silent
Construction so komponirani inštrumenti. Obstaja
celostna struktura, ki določa kako se instrumenti ter
njihove izrazne možnosti spreminjajo skozi čas. V
trenutku performansa je večina akcij nedoločena. Včasih
je to celo posledica fizikalnih karakteristik samega
inštrumenta, zmeraj pa je zvočni rezultat pogojen z
improvizacijskimi variacijami, gestami in trenutnimi
odločitvami.

Serija “Silent Construction”
The pieces of the Silent Construction Series are the
composition of instruments; that is, composing the piece
is composing the instrument. The action of lutherie
or instrument building is confused with the act of
composition. Instruments are composed: they are cultural
constructs. The compositional process is not strictly the
design and organization of sounds, but is, or ought to
be, a composition of environments or sound spaces that
are brought to a concrete morphology by performance
gestures. The choice of tracking strategy and sound
mappings are compositional acts. The Silent Construction
pieces are composed instruments. Although there is an
overall structure that determines how the instruments
change over time and therefore their performative
possibilities. In the actual performance, a great deal is

With a series of FM and internet broadcasts and with
the formation of the radioCona platform, the project
examines the use of radio frequency space in the
artistic as well as wider social context with productions,
colaborations and presentations of contemporary art
projects through radio-phonic and internet distribution.
The work has legal access to the radio frequency space
and constitutes itself temporarily, for a short period of
time. The core of the project’s functioning is precisely in
the project’s periodicity and the mobility of the studio.
The project finds its permanence in the archiving of
materials in different audio protocols (podcasts, MP3,
audiobooks), which are documented and distributed
at the radioCona website. Its contents are defined and
complemented with accompanying events: discussions,
roundtables, and exhibition tours. Production of radio
art and sound art projects is another important aspect of
radioCona’s activities.

„inštrumentalnih parazitov“ raziskuje izrazni potencial
klavirja in zagotavlja dostop do vseh dimenzij resonanc,
artikulacij in zvočnih barv.
The performance is based on a series of graphic scores
which act as tableaux for improvised music. The potential
of the piano is explored through the use of preparation,
extended techniques, electronics and “instrumental
parasites” with the aim of rendering its multiple
dimensions of resonance, articulation and timbre.

of TRACES in relation to the precarious nature of
contemporary culture and the global/local contexts of
the project. In this time of cultural mutation, migration
and diversity, artists and curators are required to
embrace a culturally nomadic professional practice and
innovative strategies of cultural resistance if we are to
survive. TRACES takes a personal approach to ideas
of intercultural dialogue and trans-european cultural
mobility through embodied research, conversation and
creation. How do conversation and artistic research
become adaptive and transformative tools? Encouraging
the ongoing critical and creative exchange between
culture professionals, a flux of cultural migrants moving
between places; sampling, infecting and transmitting
memes of culture.

Interfaces and
Technologies of Survival
TRACES Simpozij / okrogla miza
Alternativni kulturni vmesniki in tehnologije
preživetja
Tema simpozija oz. okrogle mize bodo inovativne
umetniške in praktične strategije upora in preživetja
v kulturi, s posebnim poudarkom na vzpostavljanju
alternativnih organizacij, struktur in raziskav za
kontinuirano produkcijo. Cilj okrogle mize je, da
na osnovi naših raznolikih ozadij in izkušenj v
lokalnih okoljih artikuliramo metodologije katerih se
poslužujemo v praksi ter da delimo znanja z ostalimi
kulturnimi delavci in s širšo zainteresirano javnostjo.
Preko kolektivnega preizpraševanja, kritičnih debat,
mreženjem umetniških in kuratorskih pristopov, bomo
orisovali modele delovanja, ki temeljijo na naših
praktičnih izkušnjah. Definirali boo procese, reflektirali
ter preizpraševali lastne pozicije umetnikov, kuratorjev
in raziskovalcev ter ponudili filozofske temelje za tiste,
ki želijo izoblikovati nove smeri na področju kulturnega
delovanja. Delite vaše izkušnje s področja vzpostavljanja
alternativnih institucij in izumljanja novih preživetvenih
strategij ter komentirajte lokalne izkušnje ostalih
udeležencev mednarodnega simpozija. Debatirajte z nami
možnosti vzpostavljanja drugačnih globalnih in lokalnih
pogojev kulturnega delovanja. Do katere mere lahko
prilagajamo naše sposobnosti in surovine drugačnim
oblikam kulturne tehnologije, da si lahko zagotovimo
kreativno in umetniško preživetje?

TRACES symposium explores a range of research,
artistic and practical strategies for cultural survival
and resistance, the challenges of building alternative
organisations, and insights for ongoing creation. The
discussion seeks to articulate methodologies from diverse
backgrounds in order to share and transfer acquired
knowledge with interested culture professionals and
wider audiences. A collective questioning with a critical
debate, networking artistic and curatorial approaches
to build working models based on our actual practices
and experiences. Looking critically at experiences in
building alternative institutions, inventing strategies to
survive – and the specific conditions of the local situation
and context. The discussion takes place in a spirit of
questioning, debate and manifestation, on how to form
a different vision of globally connected local cultural
conditions, why do we do what we do and how? Adapting
our collective skills and resources to other forms of
cultural technologies to ensure our creative and artistic
survival. Tracing the process and finding methods to
transfer our specific understanding into a broader field,
while offering philosophical and practical resources to
those seeking to build new cultural paths.

DE Sinteza stereo-fonega zvoËnega polja
www.rumori.de
Namen stereo-fonih posnetkov je simulacija zvočnega
okolja, ki poslušalca prestavi v virtualno prostorsko
realnost. S pomočjo digitalne obdelave signalov in
optičnega sistema za prepoznavanje lokacije uporabnika
in sledenje gibanja, lahko sintetiziramo interaktivna
stereo-fona zvočna okolja. Sinteza stereo-fonih posnetkov
in interaktivnih stereo-fonih prostorov, v kombinaciji z
obstoječimi zvočnimi ambienti realnih prostorov, presega
aplikacije s področja virtualne realnosti. S pomočjo teh
tehnologij lahko ustvarimo platforme za raziskovanje
okoljskih zvokov preko utelešenih vmesnikov. Binaural recordings aim at creating a deep impression
of aural immersion for the listener. Using signal
processing algorithms, it is possible to synthesize binaural
soundfields which, combined with a positional tracking
system, may be made interactive. Well beyond pure
virtual reality applications, the synthesis of binaural
recordings and interactive binaural spaces combined
with the existing sonic ambiance of the real world
provides a promising and vivid playground for exploring
environmental sounds via embodied interfaces.

Delavnica
US/AT
at.or.at/hans
Delavnica bo obravnavala načine grajenja inštrumentov
z odprto-kodnim programskim orodjem PD (Pure Data).
Inštrumente se bo upravljalo s pomočjo USB HID
igralnih kontrolerjev in Arduino/Firmat, s katerimi bomo
manipulirali zvok in sliko v realnem času. Na delavnici
bodo predstavljeni načini zajemanja podatkov s PD-jem,
obdelava teh podatkov ter strategije mapiranja, preko katerih
bomo gradili zanimive načine interakcije in performanse.
Udeleženci se bodo naučili kako zbrati podatke iz realnega
sveta, kako s pomočjo filtrov odstraniti šum od pomenljivih
podatkov, ter kako, s tako pridobljenim novim podatkovnim
tokom, kontrolirati različne medije. V kolikor bo na voljo
dovolj časa bosta predstavljena tudi načina pridobivanje
povratne informacije (feedback) z vibracijami ali fizično silo.
Delavnica je namenjena tako začetnikom, kot tudi izkušenim
uporabnikom PD-ja. Udeleženci naj prinesejo svoje igralne
kontrolerje (tablet, joystick, miška, itd.) V začetku delavnice
bomo skupaj izvedli instalacijo vse potrebne programske
opreme na vaših prenosnikih. Delavnica bo udeležence
pripravila za nadaljnje delo na področju avdia, videa, grafike
in elektronike. Zaželeno je da udeleženci pristopijo na
delavnico s kakšnim konkretnim projektom ali idejo, tako da
bodo na koncu, kot rezultat imeli delujočo stvar.

This workshop will focus on building instruments using
Pd with USB HID game-controllers and Arduino/Firmat to
control sound, video, and graphics in real time. It will cover
getting data into Pd, turning that data into a usable form,
then mapping the data to build engaging interactions and
interesting performances. Participants will learn how to get
data from the real world, process the data to eliminate noise
and ignore unimportant details, then create a data flow that
gives interesting control over media. If time permits, force
and vibration feedback will be introduced. The workshop
is for beginners as well as experienced users, but some
experience with Pd is encouraged. Bring in game controllers,
tablets, mice, etc. or an Arduino with sensors. Test your
device before bringing it to the workshop. You can use your
own laptop, the workshop will be preceded with a short
installation help session. This course will prepare you for
further work in audio, video, graphics or electronics. It will
be project based, so bring a project idea to work on. By the
end of the workshop, you should have something that works.

Jan T. je skladatelj in medijski umetnik in se osredotoča
na oblikovanje programske opreme. V posameznih
projektih se ukvarja z enim materialom ali temo, ki
jo postavlja v različne kontekste in jo osvetljuje z
različnih perspektiv. V kompozicijah uporablja organski
zvočni material, ki se že rahlo nagiba proti šumu
(noise). V njegovi glasbi najdemo igrive elemente s
katerimi raziskuje mejo med sintetičnim in konkretnim
zvokom, med digitalnimi in mehanskimi pristopi. Igra
solo performanse, pri katerih uporablja programsko
orodje SuperColider in vmesnik Mantra. Piše glasbo
za akustične inštrumente in računalnike, ter postavlja
zvočne instalacije. Od 2002 aktivno razvija kodo za
SuperColider, in s tem prispeva k razvoju programa.
Organiziral je tudi drug mednarodni SuperColider
Simpozij, ki je potekal 2007 v Hagu na Nizoremskem.
2008 je ustanovil skupino TeaTracks, ki se ukvarja z
produkcijo mobilnih aplikacij. Eno pomembnejših (Gliss)
izdajo leta 2009. Gliss je glasbeni sekvencer namenjem
uporabi v realnem času. Deluje na osnovi tresljajev
mobilnika, omogoča pa tudi risanje in interpretacijo
grafik v obliki glasbe in zvokov na iPhone/iPad napravah.
Jan T. is a composer and media artist with an affinity
to software design. His work often focuses on one
material or subject, which he sets in different contexts
and perspectives. The sound material he uses can be
described as having an organic character with a tendency
of being noisy and crispy. And there are playful elements
in his music, which explore the boundaries of synthetic
and concrete sound, digital and mechanic approaches.
He performs solo with SuperCollider and the Manta
interface, writes music for instruments and computer and
creates sonic installations. Since 2002 he has been an
active SuperCollider (SC) developer, which resulted in
many contributions to the software and the organisation
of the second international SuperCollider Symposium in
The Hague in 2007. In 2008 he founded TeaTracks for the
creation of mobile applications, which released Gliss in
2009. Gliss is a tilt controlled and performance oriented
sequencer, which lets you draw music and sounds on the
iPhone/iPad.

Hexagon Jan Trützschler von
Falkenstein
Hexagon je skladba za solo performerja in računalniške
procese (SuperCollider & Manta). Realizirana je s
pomočjo visoko-nivojskega parametričnega upravljanja,
ki temelji na interpolacijskih samo-organizirajočih
nevronskih mrež (SOM). Zvočne teksture so grajene
s sintetičnimi in konkretnimi zvoki, ki ustvarjajo
večdimenzionalne zvočne prostore.

Emerging Possibilities of
Mobile Music Applications
Predavanje
Nove možnosti mobilnih glasbenih aplikacij
Zmeraj večja dostopnost zmogljivih in inteligentnih
mobilnikov omogoča uporabo glasbenih aplikacij nove
generacije. Poleg običajne programske opreme za
glasbeno produkcijo v mini formatu, aplikacije takšnih
prenosnih naprav omogočajo oblikovanje posebnih
glasbenih inštrumentov, s čimer reformirajo koncept
poslušanja in kreiranja glasbe. Takšne aplikacije
ponujajo interaktivna in re-aktivna glasbena okolja, ki
lahko pomešajo običajne vloge skladatelja, producenta,
izvajalca in poslušalca glasbe. Verjetno je to tudi
priložnost, preko katere bo eksperimentalna glasba prišla
v stik z običajnimi uporabniki oz. s širšim občinstvom,
saj so aplikacije (eksperimentalni inštrumenti) enostavno
dostopne in vsak jih lahko preizkusi na svojem
mobilniku. Mobilne naprave omogočajo tudi nov pristop
k izvajanju glasbe saj ustvarijo novo raven participacije
občinstva med performansom. Jan T. bo v predavanju
predstavil pregled svojega dela in idej s tega področja, ter
načine kako jih vpleta v svoje kompozicije in instalacije.

The widespread use of powerful smart-phones has
introduced a new generation of music applications, which
users can have with them at all time. Aside from more
conventional music production software in mini format,
such applications include dedicated instruments and
apps which approach both music making and listening
from a different angle. Some of these apps might change
the classical roles of composer, performer and listener,
or producer and consumer, by offering interactive or
reactive musical environments. There might even be a
chance to introduce listeners to more experimental forms
of music through apps, which they can play with on their
devices. On the performative side, mobile devices open
up new possibilities for performers and might also allow
another level of participation between the audience in
the performance. In this talk Jan Trützschler will give an
overview of his work and ideas in this field and how it
connects to his compositions and installations.

In this talk I will discuss the design and use of Digital
Musical Instruments (DMIs), based on the work
developed at the Input Devices and Music Interaction
Laboratory (IDMIL - idmil.org), McGill University. I
will review the design of several novel DMIs and the
choice of sensors and actuators used (SensorWiki - www.
sensorwiki.org), as well as the definition of mapping
strategies between sensor outputs and sound synthesis
inputs. Examples of DMI use in several contexts such

Obravnaval bo dizajn različnih novih digitalnih
inštrumentov ter izbor senzorjev in aktuatorjev
(SensorWiki – www.sensorwiki.org), kot tudi definicijo
strategij mapiranja podatkov med izhodi senzorjev in
vhodi sinteznih algoritmov. Pokazal bo primere digitalnih
glasbenih inštrumentov, ki jih uporabljajo v digitalnem
orkestru McGill, kjer prepletajo inženirske rešitve z
glasbenimi potrebami.

Predavanje
SE
www.riwid.net Richard Widerberg will talk about the sound workshop
Richard Widerberg bo predstavil koncept serije zvočnih
delavnic, ki ga je v preteklih letih razvijal skozi različne
kontekste. Namen delavnic je praktično delo z vsakdanjimi
zvoki in razvoj fokusiranega poslušanja. Delavnice zajemajo
različne moduse poslušanja okoljskih zvokov ter načine zbiranja
zvočnih objektov in improvizirano reorganiziranje zbranih
posnetkov. Cilj delavnic je raziskovanje glasbenih struktur s
pomočjo enostavnih zvočnih improvizacij in doseganje višje
stopnje zavedanja zvokov, ki nas obdajajo v vsakodnevnih
situacijah. Richard bo predstavil enostaven predvajalnik
zvočnih zank, ki ga je razvil za delo v okviru delavnic
improvizacije.

IMPROVe where he is using a workshop method he has been
practicing and developing for a few years in various contexts.
The focus of the workshop is to work practically with everyday
sounds and listening. The workshop involves different modes of
listening which ranges from pure listening to one’s surroundings
to collecting of sound objects to improvisation with the
collected sounds. The essence is to explore different modes of
listening to our reality and to be more aware of all the sounds
that surrounds us in our daily life. Also, to discuss and explore
musical structures through simple musical improvisation with
sounds. Richard will also show a simple sound loop player he
has been developing and using in his workshops for musical
improvisation.
