hello.

this might be of interest for all the MAX/MSP (glotch?)
and/or maybe cremaster cycle enthusiasts among you...

last year, i had the privilege to see the "fathers" of the
MAX/MSP software, miller puckette
(along with cort lippe, director of the lejaren hiller
computer music studios at the university at buffalo, new
york) and david zicarelli (cycling 74, along with composer
jonathan bepler, who is inter alia responsible for the
cremaster's soundtrack) perform live at the gare du nord in
basel, switzerland (a rather rare occasion, up to that point
mr. zicarelli e.g. hadn't performed live for several years,
according to himself).

an acquaintance of mine filmed parts of the festival
("real-time / non real-time") in which these "concerts" took
place and i'm sharing them in soulseek at the moment (name's
the same as here).
he used a rather crappy digital camera, so the video and
audio qualities aren't that great (the latter especially
compared to the "real thing"... i think i counted about 50
speakers spread across the whole room (which is a rather
small location anyway), some amidst the audience space) but
well, better than nothing, i hope.

short descriptions (for you to ascertain if this could be of
interest, the files are rather big):

first file features zicarelli/bepler. bepler starts off
playing a bouzouki, with zicarelli processing the sounds in
real-time, resulting in climactic, wide, beautifully but
also suspenseful layers of sound. it ends with prerecorded
audience reactions (laughing). mr bepler then moves on to a
set of microphones and starts to mumble (seemingly vamping)
incoherent, spontaneous thoughts, more and more blurring
into umm "windlike" drones by dint of of mr. zicarelli's
audio processing. these are soon joined in by musical
fragments (heavy metal bits?) climating til bepler joins
into the rock particles with an ukulele, intoning a rather
silly, "love-songesque" tune. in the end: more mumbling
action/onomatopoeia, this time mr zicarelli allocated the
recorded sounds all over the place so one was downright
engulfed with mr. bepler's dislocated streams of thought...
or rather mindless babbling. of course this is not really
traceable in the recording but oh well... it was really
funny. loved the whole "show".

second, there's puckette and lippe in a more multi-media
based performance.
they zap through the german tv programme (with mr puckette
revealing a taste for lesbian porn? ;) ) soon to get stuck
with the marketing channel bloomberg, in which the mayor of
frankfurt was interviewd at that time. then they alter the
voices of the mayor and the intervier in real-time with
their own voices and an eggbeater on a chair (?!).later the
images are affected, too. scenery gets deconstructed more
and more, getting pretty noisy, with alot of the old people
in the audience covering their ears (haha) until they are
finally redeemed... pretty neat.

final movie shows a piece by tommaso perego (milan) for
violin and electronics, the latter being controlled by
himself. the name of the young lady who performed the violin
i sadly forgot, to be honest. her playing is sampled and
shards of violin tones increasingly cover the piece,
resulting once again in a rather cacophonic listening
experience : ).

like i said, none of the recordings do even roughly justice
to the live experience, but well...
hope some of you might enjoy it.

if anyone is interested but doesn't have soulseek installed
and doesn't want to i could also upload it to yousendit or
something similar, but that would take it's time i think...
