  • Score for Uncertainty Composición Para La
    SCORE FOR UNCERTAINTY COMPOSICIÓN PARA LA INCERTIDUMBRE MUSIC MAKERS HACKLAB ICAS FESTIVAL DRESDEN, GERMANY APRIL-2015 https://mmhl.bandcamp.com All the pictures by: David Pinzer English A SCORE FOR UNCERTAINTY The current context of technological democratization, where costs have fallen improving access to specialized knowl- edge and tools, has driven our generation to a cultural para- digm where the development of every new device reshapes the collective understanding of our present. Correspondingly the sonic landscape of the planet has been gradually modified with every technological upgrade, con- tinually creating sonorities never heard before. In words of Luigi Rusollo we may have conquered the infinite variety of noise-sounds yet “the machines we use for making music can only give back what we put into them” (Varèse 1966) and while theoretically we can generate any sound we im- agine, implementation is often a laborious task (Hermanss 2014). Hosted by the Interspecifics Collective and Alberto de Cam- po, »Score for Uncertainty« was a 7-day long collaborative laboratory focused on the creation of a sound composition from an unknown future using existing but novel instru- ments and sound catalogues. Participants collaborated in intensive improvisational sessions aiming to analyze the way new devices could be involved in the creation of a futur- istic soundscape. The result was presented as a live concert at the end of the ICAS Festival week in Dresden. Español COMPOSICIÓN PARA LA INCERTIDUMBRE El contexto actual de democratización de la tecnología donde los costos han decrecido mejorando el acceso a her- ramientas y conocimiento especializado ha llevado a nues- tra generación hacia un paradigma cultural donde el desar- rollo de cada nuevo aparato reconfigura el entendimiento colectivo de nuestro presente.

  • Music-Tech Start-Up Groovecat Acquires Six-Figure Funding
    Music-Tech Start-up Groovecat acquires six-figure funding Mannheim, 8 May 2018. The investment fund Wirtschaftsförderung Mannheim GmbH and Business Angel Dr. Andrea Kranzer are investing a six-figure sum in Groovecat. The music-tech spin-off from the Popakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg and participant of the worldwide unique Music WorX Accelerator develops the app for Music Moments. When users record a video in Groovecat, it is automatically underlaid with the music they are currently playing, thus creating the "Soundtrack of your Life". With Groovecat, the founders Jakob Höflich, Markus Schwarzer and Joshua Weikert develop the platform for Music Moments with which they have won the Music WorX Pitch, the CyberOne Special Prize of bigFM and the BW goes Mobile award, among others. The app automatically combines any recorded video with the music currently playing on the streaming service or in the user's environment. In this way, those moments can be captured which only gain in importance through music and which are always associated with the piece of music from now on: Music Moments. Groovecat strives to revolutionize the situational musical experience and develop a musician-friendly social media in which artists can directly monetize their followers. "We bring the new technical possibilities of music streaming into a format that is fun on the one hand and beneficial to the music industry on the other - every shared Music Moment automatically generates plays for artists and labels," explains Markus Schwarzer, CEO of Groovecat. The investment fund Wirtschaftsförderung Mannheim GmbH and Business Angel Dr. Andrea Kranzer invest a six-figure sum in Groovecat.
