We can't predict the weather and the weather can't predict us. Today we gather in the garden of the Ijzerblock studios in Rotterdam for our final broadcast, channeling the earthly circumstances of the moment into a collective, cybernetic awakening. Join us for this experimental live stream, chasing collective healing through electronic impulses. Sour rain will fuel your magnetic soil, energising the chaotic creature which feeds you sweet, sweet, sonic healing.
Setlist:
❃Jacopo❃ Intro♫
1. ❃ The Department of Oracle Hijackings ❃ Kendal
A routine call to the XPUB Department of Digital Records gets interrupted by a disgruntled employee who has begun to become critical of her workplace's structures and wants to expose the gaps between.
2. ❃ Linguistic Meditation Karaoke ❃ Euna
Following last week, I recorded video call that people pronounce selected word in "my standard way".
3. ❃ Nocturne in C Sharp Minor (No. 20) arrangement for Web Oscillator ❃ Martin
A short audiovisual performance with a self-made Web oscillator (still under development). I'll try to tune on the solo piano piece composed by Frédéric Chopin called Nocturne in C Sharp Minor (No. 20).
4. ❃ AAA (three tracks + visuals) ❃ Floor
Acknowledging, Accepting and Asking to gather information about the world and the wide web we're floating in.
5. ❃ Weathering in Anxiety ❃ Clara
The final piece of the Soundboards of Anxiety (https://hub.xpub.nl/sandbot/~clara/). Using a soundboard created in the browser. The final storm. The weather is turning, come out and listen. Feel every drop of anxiety. Wash it away. Drown it out. Create more anxiety by the overload of sounds or enjoy quietly the weathering sounds drowning out your buzzing thoughts.
6. ❃ Lullaby (A place to rest) ❃ Nami
Lullaby (A place to rest) is a soundscape created by programmed synthesizers, emulating sounds of the nature. It questions how the nature is taken for granted as a rest place for human, and how it correlates with prejudgement that female tends to be considered as a comfort giver or an emotional communicator.
7. ❃ The Banality of Peace ❃ Federico
Gameplay of the DOOM mod "Praxis".
