[Microsound-announce] Synthesis: Tate Modern Turbine Hall - From sign wave to sub bass...

[Kelli Dipple]

Synthesis: Fusing digital and analogue abstraction in sight and sound
Live audio-visual performances from Japan, Austria and the UK
part of UBS Openings: The Long Weekend

Monday 28 May, 2007
Tate Modern Turbine Hall, London

Sachiko M (Japan) with Ben Drew (UK)
AVVA - Toshimaru Nakamura (Japan) and Billy Roisz (Austria) 
Ryoichi Kurokawa (Japan)
 
>From pure sign wave to sub bass this will be an ear splitting, one off opportunity to experience some pretty extreme electronics in the extraordinary industrial, architecture of Tate Modern's Turbine Hall.

A 10 metre wide screen, a pumping sound system that even The End would be envious of, cushions on the floor and an open bar. Bring your own earplugs!

Stripped back to the barest elements of digital expression, this programme, focusses on artistic practices that make use of tools, techniques and software for the real-time creation and manipulation of both sound and image. 

Immensely powerful, rhythmic and immersive, this programme, in this context, will not be repeated.

AVVA and Ryoichi Kurokawa will be presenting special adaptations of recent work. Sachiko M is working with UK sound and video artist Ben Drew, to create an entirely new work, especially commissioned for the Turbine Hall.

This is truly a one-off. Book your tickets early, and don't forget those earplugs!
