[Microsound-announce] Minneapolis : Shuffletronics / Sustain II

[Mike Hallenbeck]

Hi all,

Next Monday and Tuesday will be a one-two punch of soundmaking from yours
truly. Read on for details:

--Monday Feb 5th: Shuffletronics demo @ the Weisman
--Tuesday Feb 6th: Sustain II drone performance at Acadia

* * * Shuffletronics * * *
Monday February 5th, 2007
Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis
5:30 - 6:00 PM Reception
6:00 - 7:30 PM Showcases

A presentation of recent work as part of the Institute for New Media
Studies' Emerging Digerati series at the University of Minnesota.

I'll demonstrate in-progress compositions that use randomized playback to
create multi-layered soundscapes concerned with perception and memory. The
source material is derived from interviews with people on their feelings
about about sound, answering machine messages, and old family recordings.
The work is presented via simultaneous playback of several mp3 players,
each in "shuffle" mode. Each player's random playlist constitutes a layer
of the resulting soundscape, assembling a different composition each time.
