Ukiyo-e DJs: Arc Sound / Ed1 / Plank /


Using the mindset of the original Jamaican pioneers

of Dub and applying it to new electronic music,

Ukiyo-e utilise huge basslines with digital

glitches and electronica to mix music of both

intellectual and emotional depth.

Fri 28 Nov / SHOWCASE / RADIO /

=================================================

A series of presentations and discussions

exploring approaches to radio, including

shortwave radio, artist radio works and net.radio.

SK - Incursions into Knob Culture

David Ellis + Jo Thomas


ìAn audio-field diary investigation into a lesser

known history of shortwave radio.î

RADIO RADIO

Laurence Lane


Laurence will present and discuss the recent art

rand()%

Tom Betts + Joe Gilmore


Most net.radio broadcasts archive programmes

and audio performances like traditional radio.

rand()% counters this predictable formula by

presenting a radio station that is entirely automated.

'Code as Environment, Environment as Code'


If sound is a quality of spatial experience, in a

virtual environment it is first pure data. If the

machinic space of data and code can be usefully

described in architectural terms [the software/

hardware architectures] how do we describe our

experience of these?
