Curated by Blanca Regina, the evening features:
TIM YATES & SAIF BUNNI
An improvisation by Tim Yates and Saif Bunni. These musicians and sound and artists run ‘Acoustic Hacking‘a workshop driven meetups that happen the last Sunday of each month at the London Hackspace.
Enseñanzas solares is a sonic exploration, performance and improvisation that looks at the Sun, the star, the data and the drone. Featuring Blanca Regina in voice, objects and visuals and Andrew Page with tapeloops and reverbs. Some of the the loops are created from NASA recordings of Saturn, Alpha Centauri, the Diamond Star and GD358, as well as the Sun.
FINGERHUT FEAT. TERRY DAY
Martin Klang (electronics, saxophone); David Kaplowitz (saxophones, keys); Paul Lucas (electric guitar) and Ryan Sarver (electric bass) and the legendary Terry Day on drums.
Fingerhut play improvised music with various standard and custom built electric and acoustic instruments and devices. They like to invite other musicians, wizards and deadbeats to join them to create new sounds. Drawing on free jazz and post rock, experimental noise and more, no two performances are quite alike. No rules and no repeats.
The disting: Eurorack synth module presentation with Andrew Ostler, October 9th
Andrew Ostler of Expert Sleepers Ltd will present the ‘disting’, a hackable Eurorack format synthesiser module, this Thursday 9th of October at 7pm, at Troyganic Cafe (132 Kingsland Road, E2 8DP).
The disting is based around a commodity PIC32 microcontroller and an audio codec, providing the ability to run surprisingly complex processes on control voltages and audio at high audio sample rates. As shipped the module provides 16 algorithms (selected from a front panel knob), but the microcontroller can be flashed with user code. Expert Sleepers have provided an open source code framework to facilitate this.
Andrew will present an overview of the hardware and software design, and demonstrate the code framework. Attendees are invited to bring along their favourite algorithm for a little live coding demo!
