Telematic Performance

Contrabassist and CRCA researcher Mark Dresser participates in a collaborative "telematics" concert and cumulation of a research collaboration at UCSD with colleagues at UC Berkeley and Stanford. The public performance at UCSD will include UCSD Music Department faculty Mark Dresser (contrabass), Philip Larson (voice), and Billy Mintz (drums), who will be joined in-person by UCI Music Asst Professor Michael Dessen (trombone). Joining via high-speed connection from Berkeley will be CNMAT Director David Wessel (electronics), Asst Professor of Music Myra Melford (piano); and from Stanford, CCRMA Director Chris Chafe (cello & celleto). The group will be collaborating and exploring the musical potentials and limitations of latency in musical time, electro-acoustic processing at distance, and collaborative exploration of the medium>

Music in the Global Village conference Dec. 10- 13 in Budapest

http://globalvillagemusic.net/

Wish they had invited the HUB back again. We participated in the first one in 2007 and it was great. I see Pauline Oliveros, Chris Chafe and many other friends will be there. I will post if I find any links to online activity.

Jason Freeman says: "Over the next few days, we will focus on a series of critical issues surrounding the theory and practice of networked music through a combination of brief presentations, extended group discussions, and concert performances. I hope that we will use this time to document the range of current thinking and practice, to identify critical technical, design, and musical issues facing the field, and to brainstorm ways in which to address those issues. I also hope that this event will be the beginning of an ongoing, growing conversation about networked music."

I have found this sight very useful and thought I would pass it on here:

“Moving Stars and Earth for Water”

On October 9, 2009 (GMT), this live event will be presented around the world by a community of artists representing all cultures and creative disciplines. They will unite on one far-reaching global Internet network on the occasion of Guy Laliberté’s Poetic Social Mission on the International Space Station.

Although it will contain factual and scientific information, the program is primarily the reflection of a group of artists on the issue of water in our times and how this is expressed through their art and in the context of the community in which they live.

This global artistic community is made up of singers, actors, filmmakers, photographers, dancers, acrobats, poets, etc., many of whom are friends of Guy Laliberté and Cirque du Soleil—which marks its 25th anniversary this year and will be the driving creative force for the mission. While some of the artists are celebrated around the planet, others are leading lights in their respective communities. What they all have in common is their concern regarding access to water and in particular their desire to illustrate this in their own distinctive way.
