BlackBox Loops
This performance piece is an exploration of the sonic possibilities of obsolete sound technology. Antiquated effects processors have their outputs sent via a small mixer into their inputs so that a feedback loop is established and can be manipulated. A stereo line is split out from this loop so that the effects are audible. In addition to the obsolete units, hacked guitar pedals and acoustic instruments are also introduced into the system to direct and affect the sonic output.
Joe Cantrell is a musician and multi-media artist specializing in sound art, installations, compositions and performances inspired by the implications and consequences of technological objects and practices.His work examines the incessant acceleration of technology and media production, its ownership, and the waste it produces.
As a sound artist, Joe has performed and installed in numerous venues, including the REDCAT Theater at Disney Hall in Los Angeles, the 2012 festival of the Society for Electroacoustic Music in the US as well as artist residencies in New York, London and Beijing.
His work has been honored with grants from the Creative Capital Foundation, New Music USA as well as being nominated for a Rydell Visual Arts Fellowship.
Joe holds a BFA in music technology from the California Institute of the Arts and an MFA in digital arts and new media from UC Santa Cruz. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Integrative Studies at UC San Diego.

Where: Troyganic, 132 Kingsland Road, London
What: Presentation of Mogees by Bruno Zamborlin
Join us this Thursday with Bruno Zamborlin to experience Mogees, discover how it works and learn about its successful Kickstarter campaign.
Mogees, an innovative new way for everyone to let their musical imagination run wild, transforming the objects around us into unique and powerful musical instruments.
Mogees consists of a mobile app and a small sensor optimised to work with smartphones which detects and analyses the vibrations that we make when we interact with the objects around us. It uses an audio synthesis technique inspired to audio physical modelling, in order to create a tight, coupling the gesture and the object you selected, altering their acoustic properties so as to make them musical.
thickear, Sound Art Collective, Thursday 6th of March
When: Thursday 6th of March 2014, 7.30pm
Where: Troyganic, 132 Kingsland Road, London
Who: thickear
thickear is an artists’ collective comprising Geoff Howse, Jack James, Kevin Logan, and Tadeo Sendon, who explore contemporary themes through conceptual art and performance.
Originally interested in working within the medium of sound, thickear have expanded their practice to include visual art and performance. Their recent work has been concerned with the ethics of data collection and exchange, including the epic dystopian performance/installation Ministry of Measurement, a major feature of the Barbican Centre’s ‘Hack the Barbican’ season in 2013, and later reconceived as a small, approachable data exchange stand at the ICT and Art Connect conference in Lithuania.
What
Guiding us through their journey from Sound Art to new interdisciplinary fields, the collective will introduce the themes that will conform their next project Pink Sheet Method, which will be presented this spring at Future Everything (Manchester), ODI (London) and Lighthouse (Brighton).
