Workshop: "Movement of acoustic image" @ Live! IXem 2010
Purpose Laboratory
Browse through the knowledge of the techniques of digital recording the sound universe belonging to the "places";
discuss certain aspects of use of concrete material in electronic and instrumental composition.
Localization of sound in surrounding focuses on the theme of "sound mapping" as a social identity, cultural and, at the same time, an expression of conscience and personal feelings, and its use in music opens important interdisciplinary horizons.
The workshop aims to provide an introduction to theory and practice of the major mobile sound recording techniques and the use of sound sources in different fields, from sound design to cinema, dall'editing use of digital sources in the composition instrumental, electronic music and live electronics. Will also be presented, discussed and listened to music and musical excerpts from field recordings. All members are invited to participate Island Sound to the walk in the neighborhood of Milan and thus contribute to the creation, during the workshop, a small sound map of the place. The traces obtained at the end of the workshop will be disseminated in the spaces O 'through a multi-channel and available to the public in the form of soundscape composition.

Biographies speakers: Alessandro Massobrio
guitarist and composer, Alessandro Massobrio has alternated his studies in composition, graduating in philosophy and bioacoustics ontology hermeneutics with Gianni Vattimo and in terrestrial and marine bioacoustics with Gianni Pavan. His personal research focuses on the illusion, the relationship between sound and geometry, emotions and thoughts. His music is linked to the control of the gestures, the tone and the natural decay of sound in order to create structures and electronic effects. As a performer he plays electric guitar + electronic audiovisual project in Flushing Device. E 'Klanglandschaft member of the Forum, the Communauté canadienne électroacoustique and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Musik Elektroakustische.

Fabio Orsi Fabio Orsi is an electronic musician specializing in atmospheric drone. Since its debut in 2005, he consolidated its reputation as a key figure in the underground scene in "nu-folk electronica" with a fascinating series of solo works and collaborations soundscapes dominated by psychedelic flavor. Bear creates sound cards with a tangible sense of place and time, using layers of guitars, old keyboards and found sounds, loops with a development so natural that it is almost impossible to notice when certain sounds emerge or dissolve.

Natasha Barrett (Guest lecture)
production Natasha Barrett extends from composition to sound architecture, sound art, installations and interactive works. The manipulation of space is central to a large of his works, whether in written or electronic media instrumentalists. His aesthetic is linked to aspects of acousmatic nature, as the concentration on auditory perception, the structure and the potential significance of the sonic details, with a particular interest in the compositional techniques that reveal what the ear normally ignores.

Level
All subjects and activities of the workshop / laboratory are addressed at the introductory and preliminary, so theory and practice with the help of audiovisual material. Members are encouraged to be actively intervening, bringing in their expertise and creating discussion. Participants will be guided, if weather conditions permit, in a short path through the neighborhood sound geo-Island Milan and invited to contribute to the creation of a sound track of the walk. Does not require any special technical knowledge and / or music. However, audio editing and a smattering of knowledge of the basics of digital recording can be an advantage.

In Sonic Shuffle gli interpreti ai laptos eseguono una partitura grafica che si trova su un particolare mazzo di carte appositamente disegnato. Le carte sono distribuite ad ogni interprete prima dell'esecuzione. Il direttore dell'esecuzione controlla in tempo reale alcuni aspects of the score and regulates the distribution of moments sound developed by the interpreters.

German composer and video artist. His work is known for the careful choice and placement sound, for the complex interweaving of rhythmic structures and its minimal and fluid approach. Bretschneider's music described as "the same abstract Puntillo," or "the hypnotic pulse of a reverberation chamber" is associated with its visuals: the creation of visual phenomena such as perfect translation of the qualities inherent in the sound.
Dancefloor Live! IXem is a well established event that explores the relationship between sound, music, electronic arts and new technologies.
The field is transverse, the common denominator is not the kind spermentale but the approach to innovation and research. It seems
therefore natural to open in the CIM XVIII - Colloquium on Musical Informatics organized by AIMI - Italian Association of Musical Informatics a window that advances the 2010 edition, the seventh, the Live! iXem.
Hence, in line at CIM, Live! IXem preview, an event that will offer combinations of sonic and musical suggestions from some of the artists attending the conference and, for whom the project iXem the opportunity to make music and experiment with new directions music.
The evening will conclude in a casual atmosphere, the right time to take leave from the conference, taking advantage of multipurpose spaces Hiroshima Mon Amour: a lounge bar where you can exchange impressions and greet or a dance floor where you follow the rhythm of electronic music 'to dance'.
to act as a bridge between the preview of the Live! IXem and the final user-friendly, there will be a set of audiovisual Frank Bretschneider (co-founder of the famous Raster-Noton). The 'Berlin artists will present, in collaboration with Hiroshima Mon Amour, his latest work exp.
a diverse audience, curious and alert, stimulated to move between different ways of making electronic music, will find the thread that binds the scenario sound contemporary, computer experience (AIMI), academic (the Trio), interdisciplinary (CIRM, DAMS, Lab.Quazza) and experimental (iXem).
Live! IXem 2010 Preview is a collaboration between:
