Tonight performance includes:
Sygxysis
(Koutsomichalis)
Sygxysis - a disturbance of psychological or mental health, psychological unrest, unrestful vexation - is a study in complexity for recursive stochastic generators and waveform projection. Watch a demo video here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30557542/Sygxysis%20demo%20-%20excerpts%20LD.mp4
è stato eliminato
(Koutsomichalis)
The project consists of a series of audio performances as well as of several fixed media works, all based on the raw output of the ElektronMusicStudio's Serge modular synthesizer. Compared to most commercially available modular systems, the Serge' s unbiased philosophy and its eccentric modules cast it the ideal platform for open-ended sonic exploration and experimentation.

Tiling Session 2
(Burt)
An automatic two-dimensional tiling system uses attempts to tessellate sets of tiles over an area. These spatial algorithms are presented as series of vivid and brutal progressions. Humans are attuned to recognize patterns within a narrow temporal band - too fast, and events appear to merge into one whole or disappear altogether, too slow and we have forgotten them by the time they repeat. The tiling system is designed to shift in speed from slowly laying individual tiles to placing hundreds per second, causing individual events to blur into continua. As one temporal structure becomes imperceptible, we become conscious of new ones, previously too slow for us to recognize.
Colour Projections (Flattened Symbols)
(Burt)
Colour Projections is an ongoing project relating sound and shape. Through a progression of geometric systems, rules are established and shapes are created, intersected, combined and destroyed. Each resulting shape is both drawn and sonified - a shape's outline is directly transformed into an audio waveform. These geometric operations are simple and entirely abstract, yet we have a tendency to attribute identity to individual shapes and assume causality within the systems. These assumptions are challenged when the geometric behaviour diverges suddenly from our expectations, causing apparent shifts in plurality and ambiguities of identity.
Biographies:
Active internationally in both academic and non academic milieux, Marinos Koutsomichalis has been working as an artist since the mid '00s using a variety of mediums. He is primary interested in sound. Hitherto, he has performed and exhibited works internationally in acclaimed galleries, academias, festivals, churches, independent venues, etc and has released albums in a variety of labels. He has collaborated with Z'EV, Francisco Lopez, Robin McGinley, Marc Behrens, Kasper T. Toeplitz and others on numerous projects. Marinos is also Founder of, and Director at, Agxivatein.

Theo Burt is a UK-based artist working with computer sound and image, live performance and installation. His solo audio-video work concentrates on perceptual relationships between sound and image, setting up tensions between the intelligibility of processes and the intuitive experiencing of their results. His ongoing sound and geometry project Colour Projections was released on Entr'acte in 2009, and has been presented internationally including installations, live performances and screenings in Diapason, New York; MACBA, Barcelona; and Sonar Cinema film reel, 2011. He is currently collaborating with Tim Wright (aka Germ / Tube Jerk) on a new sound and light project Bastard Structures II.
He has released several records through the Automatics Group including Auto 17 (2010), produced with Peter Worth on Russell Haswell's Or/Touch label and documenting physical indeterminacies in an EMS VCS3 synth. His ongoing project Summer Mix presents automatic sound and image transformations of anthemic Euro Trance music and artwork and was released on Entr'acte in late 2011. "... the way aggressive consumerist melody is condensed down into shards of what sounds like granular synthesis is head-spinning." - Derek Walmsley, The Wire.
