Embodying Sound: An interview with Bill Furlong on Audio Arts
September 22nd, 2007 by Garth
ECOPOLIS blog has an interesting transcript of an interview with Posted in Research Projects, Sound Art | 1 Comment »
 belongs to the generation of British artists who developed a new concept of sculpture in the 1970’s and 80’s (Gilbert & George, Bruce McLean, Paul Richards etc.). Furlong’s special contribution has been in the area of “Sound Scuplture” and, with the founding of Audio Arts (together with Michael Archer) in 1973, he began a project of mapping the territory of contemporary art in a series of cassette editions. Since its inception in 1972, Audio Arts has grown to become the world’s most comprehensive and coherently focused sound archive of artists’ voices as well as sound art but also contains documents of important exhibitions, symposia and festivals. The cassette-magazine has been in continuous and regular publication for thirty-five years, with over twenty-five volumes of four issues each.</p>

VGA over Cat-5 cable
September 6th, 2007 by Garth
VGA over Cat-5 cable will let you run standard, cheap, easy-to-pull ethernet cable between your computer and video display. The twisted pair helps reduce signal loss, though it doesn't work quite as well as the long-run shielded VGA cables. Unless you need to extend your display to over 50 feet, this might be a much easier and more cost-effective way to do things.
You can also get DE9-RJ45 connector plugs

Tenori-On – Yu Nishibori explains
September 5th, 2007 by Garth
Probably the most eagerly awaited release of any musical interface in a decade or more, the Tenori-On is presented in a Sonic State video, presented by Yamaha's Yu Nishibori.
Seems like an extraordinary year for innovation in musical interfaces with the Nintendo Wii controller being adapted by a number of people for music performance and now the Tenori-on.
More info can be found on the Yamaha Tenori-on site

structuralvid
September 2nd, 2007 by Garth
This video on YouTube - structuralvid - is an interesting Av extension of Alvin Lucier's I am sitting in a room - Album notes are available HERE . The effect of projecting sound and in this case image back into the room in an iterative way causes a degradation of the intelligibility of the original signal into a timbrel cloud, where the frequencies of the room are strengthened in each iteration until those frequencies are the only remaining content.
