>Encoding & Performing: generative sound and music with Justin
>Bennett and John Eacott
>
>Justin Bennett and John Eacott
>Justin Bennett is an artist and member of the performance group BMB
>con, based in Holland, and the electronica-improv trio "Grand Mal".
>John Eacott is a composer for TV and Film and for the last three
>years has been making interactive and algorithmic sound works. He
>lectures at University of Westminster. They will discuss generative
>sound and music and the spatial presentation of sound interfaces for
>creation and reception of music and sound-art.
>
>Details:
>John Eacott will demonstrate and discuss MORPHEUS, a CD of fluid
>dance music. Featuring 16 tracks by 6 composers it is designed to
>behave, and be experienced like, a normal audio CD although it runs
>on a Macintosh computer rather than a CD player. In contrast to
>normal audio however, each song has its own generative algorithms to
>enable it to exist in a state of flux so that each time you run a
>particular song you receive a unique performance. He will also show
>how pieces and environments such as MORPHEUS built using
>SuperCollider can be performed across networks enabling remote
>interaction and webjamming.
>
>Justin Bennett will present a series of installations using visual
>and audio documentation of his work, and live demonstrations of
>software-based pieces. He will focus on his "sonic drawing machine"
>pieces made using multi-channel sound systems and Max/msp, and
>give a live demonstration of a new piece of software that is based
>on the idea of encoding sounds in space and creating spatial
>relationships between them. This enables Bennett to use the space as
>a performance "environment" with modules that play files or loops,
>rhythmic sample players and processing modules of various
>kinds.Following these two presentations there will be a discussion
>chaired by Andrew Chetty (Director of New Media Centre, ICA)
>focusing on the levels of interaction in these pieces (and in music
>in general) and the design of algorithms as composition. The evening
>will conclude with a Q&A session
