>* PRESENTATION :
>
>(((NOMUSIC))) started on June 2001, according to the principle that a
>diffusion site on Internet should correspond to the representation of the
>singular performances of a new generation of artists, musicians,
>performers and other actors of the electronic scene. The creation of this
>open diffusion site proved to be necessary because of today’s difficulty
>to perform disembodied concerts of electronic music on stage, in a
>classical frontal (actor/audience) representation space.
>Nowadays, these emerging new multimedia performances allow everybody to
>approach music in a more singular way, with a different listening practice
>and on a more sharing scene.
>
>Every year since 2001, (((NOMUSIC))) offers one or more festivals which
>programming is geographically variable and which function is to relay in a
>coordinated way a 24 hours earth revolution of no-musicians @ home. This
>virtual earth revolution materializes a world wide sound cover of 24 time
>zones according to the universal time [GMT 0]. This gives to participants
>who are scattered all over the world the opportunity to take part in the
>festival. The participation is free of charge and the recruitment is made
>exclusively on Internet through diffusion lists. The selection is not made
>according to practices and genres criterion but rather according to the
>approaches and artistic positions which should echo the logic of the
>festival.
>
>(((NOMUSIC))) platform offers two types of live. In its classical form,
>the participant plays alone at home for one hour. He can also play in
>dual. Dual is a live in which two geographical sites are linked via
>Internet and mixed together in stereo (participant 1 on the left channel
>and participant 2 on the right one).
>
>(((NOMUSIC))) wishes to generate improbable duals and gatherings between
>two participants during one hour time in a web audio performance.
>We make no storage because we think that Internet is a huge database which
>conveys already a great amount of dead informations and we don’t want to
>pollute it further. We are thus in favour of instant access to a selective
>event. The mechanism of the programming is not automated; it is relayed
>manually for 24 hours without any interruption by
>laboiteblanche and Carl.Y., two real human routers who are at the service
>of continuous audio stream and who endure technical difficulties and give
>rapid formation on the technologies of streaming to all the
>participants.
>
>(((NOMUSIC))) stands between musical negation and anti-bruitism, in a
>non-silent interstice of audio manifestation. It allows the
>composer-performer to be his own auditor, in a place where nothing should
>be heard but just felt as a new entity to observe.
>
>
>* FOUNDERS :
>
>>From 1999 on, laboiteblanche and Carl.Y, have both experimented
>streaming through series of interconnected web concerts and programming
>via the site NOWEB thus creating a form of festival which dimension is
>tailor-made for the web.
>
>The support of the late CICV Pierre Schaeffer ’s residence at
>Hérimoncourt [Fr] gave more opportunity for further development of the
>interface system; it allowed also an access to a bandwidth of great
>capacity, which is essential to bear the year after year rising load of
>the connections. Technically speaking, (((NOMUSIC))) is now autonomous and
>provides its own lodging on Internet since the creation of the NOHOST
>network.
>
>laboiteblanche & Carl.Y play regularly together in concerts or on the net,
>from Berlin to Fournos via Paris or other cities. At the same time, each
>of them develops different projects related to the new
>technologies:

>laboiteblanche : http://grandhoteldeparis.com
>Car.Y : http://auditorium.noweb.org
