Peninsula Arts Contemporary Music Festival 2013 Sensing Memory
23/02/2013
11am Crosspoint
Festival Talk and Book Signing Nick Coleman: The Train in the Night Music had been an integral part of Nick Coleman’s life for as long as he could remember. But Sudden Neurosensory Hearing Loss changed that irrevocably. The Train in the Night is Coleman’s account of his struggle to restore his ability not only to hear but to think about and feel music again. Train in the Night is published by Jonathan Cape. Free event. 12pm-1.30pm and 2.30pm-4pm Jill Craigie Cinema Algoshorts Film Festival Algoshorts micro-film festival is the world’s first public-facing festival of algorithmic film. Such movies can involve computer-generated scripting, editing, direction and soundtracks. Algoshorts includes short films by some of the best known innovators in the field, as well as premieres by up-and-coming directors. There will be two panel discussions involving some of the films’ directors. Alexis Kirke: Many Worlds (2013) premiere Daniel Jones: Prime Composition (2009) Julian Palacz: Algorithmic Search for Love (2010) Alexis Kirke: Many Worlds - Parallel Version (2013) premiere Burnie Burns/Matt Hullum The Strangerhood Eps 1 & 2 (2006) Mogens Jacobsen: The Bridge (2003) Anabela Costa: Landscape (2012) Neil Rose & Shaun Lewin: Inventory of Witch (2013) premiere Many Worlds is a short live-action film about a physics experiment that should never have been performed, directed by Alexis Kirke, whose soundtrack and story arc are generated subconsciously by the cinema audience. Selected audience members have biological signals monitored by a computer that digitally splices together a coherent movie in real-time based on detected emotions and pre-filmed segments. Free event. 4pm-6pm Crosspoint Workshop: transmission+interference transmission+interference is a collaborative investigation of D.I.Y / D.I.T methods for creating artworks utilising hacked and appropriated materials. The focus is to use laser light and controlled movements of the various parts involved to generate visualisations as outcome source for sound / noise. Most of the used materials and musical instruments originate in group workshops and discussions where shared skills and knowledge influence the potential outcome of the project greatly. Email David Strang to participate. Limited places. Free event. 6.45pm Jill Craigie Cinema Film: In Memory This is the first screening of a 15 minute documentary film made by Tom Kelly that introduces Nick Ryan’s emotional and musical journey that led to the writing of his piece As above, so below and his search for real and anecdotal memories of his father in Kenya.
