SWe are thrilled to explore the world of sound in an inspiring new way with In the Garden of Sonic Delights at Caramoor and at our five partner sites throughout Westchester County. Enjoy walking through gardens and historic architecture to hear (and sometimes see) a new world of sound.

    Brit-Pop, Hiphop Und Supertramp-Hits Bei Der Night of the Proms 2017

    Am 14. Dezember 2017 in der Coque Brit-Pop, Hiphop und Supertramp-Hits bei der Night of the Proms 2017 Mit Roger Hodgson, dem ehemaligen Sänger von Supertramp, Melanie C, Culcha Candela, John Miles und Emily Bear stehen die ersten Künstler der diesjährigen Ausgabe der Night of the Proms fest. Ein weiterer Hauptact wird nach der Sommerpause bekannt gegeben. Zusammen mit dem Antwerp Philharmonic Orchestra, dem Chor Fine Fleur und der NOTP Backbone Band präsentiert die Night of the Proms populäre Hits aus den letzen drei Jahrhunderten. Bei diesem außergewöhnlichen audiovisuellem Happening treffen Klassik auf Pop, Chucks auf Stilettos und Hiphop auf Tschaikowski. Nicht nur die Mischung aus Klassik und Popmusik macht die Night of the Proms zu einer Veranstaltung der besonderen Art. Auch das Publikum ist so bunt gemischt wie das Programm auf der Bühne. Und so vereint sich sowohl auf als auch vor der Bühne alles zu einer einzigartigen Melange, die für die tolle Stimmung im Publikum sorgt und den Abend zu einem unvergesslichen Event werden lässt. Denn die Veranstalter brechen nicht nur mit musikalischen Konventionen sondern inszenieren die Konzerte auch als Happenings, bei der sich der Jeansträger genau so wohl fühlt, wie der Gast in Anzug oder Abendkleid. Wer sich jetzt noch über den Namen des Orchester wundert, können wir beruhigen. Nach dem Wechsel des Taktstocks von Robert Groslot zu Alexandra Arrieche im letzten Jahr, hat sich unser bewährtes Orchester in Antwerp Philharmonic Orchestra umbenannt, die ehemalige Electric Band firmiert jetzt unter NOTP-Backbone. Mit der diesjährigen Mischung der Rock- und Popacts setzt der Veranstalter auf Altbewährtes und Neues.

(“Catching Net,” a two-CD set newly issued on the German label Pan, includes contrasting versions of a similarly conceived piece.) In essence “L-Carrier” is an installation of piano wires from 3 to 70 feet long, amplified and struck with mechanical beaters triggered by input from a remote Web page hosted by Turbulence, a Web-art initiative. “At Eyebeam, Mr. Keszler’s spindly lattice stretches across a gallery wall and extends to the ceiling beams, filling the reverberant space with the steely pangs and groans of a ghost ship rocking on a river’s currents. For Thursday’s opening-night event, presented by Eyebeam and Turbulence in conjunction with the Issue Project Room’s Darmstadt Institute, Mr. Keszler led an octet in a live version of the work. Anthony Coleman, playing Farfisa organ, and Geoff Mullen, who applied metal bolts and a glass slide to a partly unstrung electric guitar, worked mostly in tandem with Mr. Keszler’s busy flux. Ashley Paul, on clarinet and alto saxophone, and Reuben Son, a bassoonist, provided long, slightly funereal tones; the violinists C. Spencer Yeh and Catherine Lamb and the cellist Alex Waterman countered with warm sustained chords and flitting squeals. For just over an hour Mr.

In his illustrious career, Quincy Jones had seen it all – or so he may have thought before he came across Emily Bear. At thirteen, Emily is one of the most astonishing musical talents of our time – composing, orchestrating, and performing in a bewilderingly diverse collection of styles. She has been called the next Mozart. “She’s the most delightful human being I’ve ever met in my life,” Quincy Jones says. “And her music is the same way. I am at once astounded and inspired by the enormous talent that Emily embodies. With the ability to seamlessly move from Classical to Jazz and Be-bop, she shows as much musical prowess as pianists/composers twice her age, and I am thrilled to be working with her. She’s astounding, man ... she’s astounding. She plays like she’s 40 years old. She is the complete 360-degree package, and there are no limits to the musical heights she can reach.” Born Aug.

    SONIC ACTS Academy 2018 Unpacking the Processes of Artistic Knowledge Sonic Acts Academy is a new plat- form for investigation, speculation, and reflection, focusing on educational practices and the critical examination of knowledge production in the field of art. By expanding artistic experience into an academy of engagement and exchange, we wish to offer both a play- ground and a radical syllabus at odds with institutionalised learning. The temporary and unstable configu- rations that make up our world today ask for new and flexible approaches to making, learning, and thinking. While education is a breeding ground for an economy of knowledge-as-com- modity, it is essential to re-examine how forms of learning can take place when unrestricted by measurable outcomes or predetermined expec- tations. Nora Sternfeld, agreeing with Irit Rogoff’s text 'Turning', addresses the role of education today: ‘education SONIC ACTS Academy 1 is not about handing down existing national and bourgeois values, as Tony Bennett would have it, nor about the mere reproduction of knowledge, but about exploring the possibilities of an alternative production of knowledge that resists, supplements, thwarts, undercuts, or challenges traditional forms of knowledge.’ 1 As the world becomes more radical and unequal, the need for change in the field of education takes on increas- ing urgency. For new models and ideas, we are turning to a community of art- ists, teachers, mentors, thinkers, and tinkerers. By inviting artistic investiga- Bouffant. Blackie by Photo Walshe.

    Artist-Programmers and Programming Languages for the Arts

    Artist-Programmers and Programming Languages for the Arts Christopher Alex McLean esis submied to Goldsmiths, University of London, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. October 2011 Dedicated to Jess, Harvey, Mum, Dad, Andrea and Stuart and the rest of my family, to whom I owe everything, and with the memory of those who supported this work but passed away before seeing its end, namely my Father-in-Law Dr. David Elmore, and my cat Olga. 2 Abstract We consider the artist-programmer, who creates work through its description as source code. e artist-programmer grandstands computer language, giving unique vantage over human- computer interaction in a creative context. We focus on the human in this relationship, noting that humans use an amalgam of language and gesture to express themselves. Accordingly we expose the deep relationship between computer languages and continuous expression, exam- ining how these realms may support one another, and how the artist-programmer may fully engage with both. Our argument takes us up through layers of representation, starting with symbols, then words, language and notation, to consider the role that these representations may play in hu- man creativity. We form a cross-disciplinary perspective from psychology, computer science, linguistics, human-computer interaction, computational creativity, music technology and the arts. We develop and demonstrate the potential of this view to inform arts practice, through the practical introduction of soware prototypes, artworks, programming languages and im- provised performances. In particular, we introduce works which demonstrate the role of per- ception in symbolic semantics, embed the representation of time in programming language, include visuospatial arrangement in syntax, and embed the activity of programming in the improvisation and experience of art.
