    Sound System Nation: Jamaica GRAHAM ST JOHN

    Sound System Nation: Jamaica GRAHAM ST JOHN from UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND the floor 1. Photo by author Several years ago, I started gathering interest in mobile initiatives committed to social and political causes in Australia called “sound systems”. The likes of Labrats and other vehicles for the performance of postcolonial desires had been rallying the disaffected to wild and weird frontlines, pursuing, as techno-activist mover and shaker Pete Strong (aka Mashy P) once said, “a sound system for all”. Back then, I’d become excited by these proactive and convivial mobilisations. Responding to local ecological and humanitarian issues, and fed by developments in electronic music culture, a groovement was afoot. Becoming interested in the roots of these developments, one path took me in the direction of the original spinners, the UK’s Spiral Tribe, whose anarchist antics ap- pealed to thousands of tekno-travelers and sonic squatters, attracting the law in the form of a four month and £4 million trial in 1994 that eventually saw Spiral Tribe participants acquitted of the charge of “conspiracy to cause a public nuisance”. The Spirals then kicked off the European and worldwide freetekno movement – whose chief cultural expression is the teknival.

Introduction There are many beginnings to the history of Electronic Dance Music (EDM). It would be a mistake to exclude the impact that disco had upon house, techno, acid house, and dance music in general. While disco evolved mostly in the dance capital of America (New York), it proposed the idea that danceable songs could be mixed smoothly together, allowing for long term dancing to previously recorded music. Prior to the disco era, nightlife dancing was restricted to bands or jukeboxes, which limited variety and options of songs and genres. The selections of the DJs mattered more than their technical excellence at mixing.

    Making a Difference: Techno-Punk and Terra-Ism

    Making a Noise – Making a Difference: Techno-Punk and Terra-ism GRAHAM ST JOHN UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND Abstract This article charts the convergence of post-punk/post-settler logics in the techno-punk development in Australia. Exploring how punk would become implicated in the cultural politics of a settler society struggling for legitimacy, it maps the ground out of which Labrats sound system (and their hybrid outfit Combat Wombat) arose. It provides an entry to punk through an analysis of the concept of hardcore in the context of cultural mobilisations which, following more than two centuries of European colonisation, evince desires to make reparations and forge alliances with Indigenous people and landscape. To achieve this, the article traces the contours and investigates the implications of Sydney’s techno-punk emergence (as seen in The Jellyheads, Non Bossy Posse, Vibe Tribe and Ohms not Bombs), tracking the mobile and media savvy exploits of 1990s DIY sound systems and techno terra-ists, aesthetes and activists adopting intimate and tactical media technologies, committing to independent and decentralised EDM creativity, and implicated in a movement for legitimate presence.

    Reflections on the Creative and Technological Development of the Audiovisual Duo—The Rebel Scum

    Rogue Two Reflections on the Creative and Technological Development of the Audiovisual Duo—The Rebel Scum Feature Article Ryan Ross Smith and Shawn Lawson Monash University (Australia) / Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (US) Abstract This paper examines the development of the audiovisual duo Obi-Wan Codenobi and The Wookie (authors Shawn Lawson and Ryan Ross Smith respectively). The authors trace a now four-year trajectory of technological and artistic development, while highlighting the impact that a more recent physical displacement has had on the creative and collaborative aspects of the project. We seek to reflect upon the creative and technological journey through our collaboration, including Lawson’s development of The Force, an OpenGL shader-based live-coding environment for generative visuals, while illuminating our experiences with, and takeaways from, live coding in practice and performance, EDM in general and algorave culture specifically. Keywords: live coding; collaboration; EDM; audiovisual; Star Wars Ryan Ross Smith is a composer, performer and educator based in Melbourne, Australia. Smith has performed and had his music performed in North America, Iceland, Denmark, Australia and the UK, and has presented his work and research at conferences including NIME, ISEA, ICLI, ICLC, SMF and TENOR. Smith is also known for his work with Animated Notation, and his Ph.D. research website is archived at animatednotation.com. He is a Lecturer in composition and creative music technology at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. Email: ryanrosssmith [@] gmail [.] com . Web: <http://www.ryanrosssmith.com/> Shawn Lawson is a visual media artist creating the computational sublime. As Obi-Wan Codenobi, he live-codes, real-time computer graphics with his software: The Force & The Dark Side.
  • From Live Coding to Virtual Being

    From Live Coding to Virtual Being

    Live Coding and Machine Listening Nick Collins Durham University, Department of Music [email protected] ABSTRACT Live coding control of machine listening processes, or more radically, machine listening control of live coding, provides an exciting area of crossover between two research frontiers in computer music. is article surveys the state of the art, and reports a number of experimental projects that point to potentially productive further directions. 1. Introduction Live coding has established itself as a viable and productive method of computer music performance and prototyping, embracing the immedicacy of modern computer programming languages (Collins et al. 2003; Ward et al. 2004; Blackwell and Collins 2005; Brown and Sorensen 2009; Collins 2011; McLean 2011; Magnusson 2014). New avenues in interfacing for programming are being embraced, including tangible computing of unit generator graphs and musical sequences (see for example Mónica Rikić’s buildacode), natural language processing (e.g., Craig Laa’s oth) and computer vision (e.g., Nik Hanselmann’s bodyfuck (2009) brainfuck interface). Performance ventures range from the current vogue for algoraves, showcasing generative and interactive creation of electronic dance music (Collins and McLean 2014) to contemporary dance and live arts. Complementing existing work, this paper explores the interaction of live coding with machine listening, from listening functionality within existing performance systems towards the use of live audio analysis as programming interface itself.
