Tickets: £7 Advance / £10 General Admission / £5 Concession https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hackoustic-presents-tickets-179272558047
An evening of performances, talks, demonstrations, installations and mingling with some of London’s top sound artists, builders, hackers and educators.
We have duo Dr Amy Cutler and Scott Pitkethly aka RAVINE/MACHINE playing their unique performance of Ritual projection and sonic illuminations. CRAIG SCOTTS LOBOTOMY is bringing some of his feedback mobiles and Hannah Kemp-Welch will be showcasing her research into DIY antennas and radio receivers! There will be additional hands on installations from Vulpestruments and a HUGELY welcome return to our wonderful house DJ #BARRYSLOUNGE
RAVINE/MACHINE’s set begins with a Kodak carousel slide projector. Using the idiosyncrasies of the carousel machine’s processes – the rumble of the slide tray/magazine, the flicker of the light shutter and the rotating air fan – Scott Pitkethly and Amy Cutler create familiar and unfamiliar worlds. Drawing on Barthes’ concept of shimmering images, these constructions build illusive landscapes in the bringing together of sound and vision.
Hannah Kemp-Welch is a sound artist with a socially-engaged practice. She produces audio installations, radio broadcasts and online artworks, often with community groups, using voices, field recordings and found sounds. She also produces zines and builds basic radios, aiming to open out sonic practices and technologies for all. Hannah is currently conducting PhD research into voices and socially-engaged art, based at CRiSAP (Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice), University of the Arts London.
Hannah will present her experiments with homemade antennas and radio receivers, including adaptations of crystal radios and induction loops that hear the earth’s natural radio. She’ll share designs and ideas as well as recordings made in remote locations using these no-power radio receivers, made from found objects and simple materials. Hannah is a member of Shortwave Collective, an international, feminist artist group interested in the radio spectrum as artistic material.
Craig Scott is a composer, improvising guitarist and sound artist.
His work focuses on the tension that exists between human and machine made music.
Working with human performers, robotics, custom built digital and analog hardware to explore the uncanny valley through sound. Blurring the perceptual lines between what is considered organic and artificial, function and malfunction and intention and error.
He will be bringing along two of his most recent creations:
TOY PIANO & DRUM DUET 1 – (Midi Controlled Acoustic Instruments)
“Sound system powered by AMOENUS. AMOENUS is an art organisation that facilitates, educated, curates and promotes immersive art centred around 3D sound”
