Haven’t update the news in a while. Masters at Sonology Institute is finished. Thesis is available for download.

Playing next week in Berlin at the SuperCollider symposium !

The thesis for my master’s the Sonology Institute has already been given in. Now, there is just the exam concert on the 23 of june left.

After all the exams are finished I will be posting the thesis here, together with some SuperCollider code.

Everyday Life was made during a field recording workshop led by Justin Bennett at the Institute for Sonology in Den Haag, December 2009. The assignment was for the participants to document the sounds from their personal environment during a period of 24 hours. A group of the participants “reconstructed” their day by playing back the recordings according to an accelerated clock that counted through the 24 hours in about 30 minutes.

The DVD in Geluidpost is a live recording of the performance.

Performed / Recorded by: Gerben Kokmeijer, Tania Sikelianou, Yiannis Tsirkoglou, Pablo Sanz, Lucas Sancho, Matteo Marangoni, Miguel Negrao, Juan Cantizanni, Belinda Li, Bjarni Gunnarson, Baldur Bjornsson, Jakob Leben, Jasper Braet, Jasper Vanpaemel, Anna Mikhaylova, Jan Nieuwenhuis

I will be participating in the conference next_generation 3.0 on 13 and 14 june, presenting the work I have developed this year. 

Every two years since 2005, it has invited more than twenty studios from all over Germany and the world to a major “next_generation” festival at ZKM. In two daily concerts and a four-day symposium under the motto “Light–Space–Sound,” more than eighty new compositions will be publicly performed, analyzed, and discussed in the event spaces of the ZKM with a total of 150 participating composers and artists. Many of these works will be presented for the first time ever.

Long time, no see.  What have I been doing lately ? Actually since September of last year I have been working on a new piece of software I called SupaStrings in honor of it being my first supercollider major project. 

  The patch simulates a network of strings using a digital waveguide model. The strings are connected one to another and sound from each one flows into the adjacent strings. The strings can be excited with several noise generators and live input. Each string is to be spatialized by a number of  loudspeakers each simulating the sound the string produces at certain length l along it. 

  I expect to start using this live soonish.

Last week I had the pleasure blasting my drones through the Acousmonium system of the GRM. The piece presented was “Tranquility of the Void”, a quite minimal sustained guitar tones piece, originally in 4 channels, which was diffused through some 30 speakers of all shapes and sizes.
