Overlap Salon – Dia de los Maxos
For this second collaborative Salon event in Overlap’s ongoing team-up with the Bay Area Computer Music Technology group, we’re returning to the San Francisco digs of host extraordinaire Gray Area Foundation for the Arts.
When – 28 October, 02009, 7:00pm – 9:00pm
Where – GAFFTA @ 55 Taylor Street, San Francisco, CA 94102
Admission – FREE, please RSVP to connect@overlap.org
It’s a performance oriented evening for a season of skeletons, ghosts and spooky sounds. We’ve lined up music and technology presentations by three edge-walking artists using modern controllers, Ableton Live and Max/MSP/Jitter from Cycling ‘74.
Jef Stott
Jef Stott is a producer/composer of tribal dub, ambient electronica and Eastern breaks on Six Degrees, Universal, EMI, Hearts of Space and others. With Mohammed Mohanna he’s developed the extensive and mesmerizing Subtle Body project, an interactive biofeedback musical system utilizing Max/MSP/Jitter and Live.
Edison
Edison is a backbone member of the Monome community. Widely recognized with his DIY Monome in a yellow lunchbox, Edison’s musical output combines elements of hip-hop, glitch and breakbeat to create a sound entirely his own. In addition to his Monome, Edison’s toolkit includes his custom Love Box, Nintendo DS, Where’s The Party At? 8-bit sampler kit, Max/MSP and Live.
Preshish Moments
Preshish Moments is a beatwrecker who developed his performance system from the ground up. Using a large, DIY wooden controller driving Shredder, the loop-mangling software he created and continuously refines in Max/MSP, Preshish Moments takes seemingly nice rhythms and turns them into something entirely otherwise. Hang on to your beats.
There will be a variety of milks and a plethora of cookies, as is now tradition at these collaborative events.
Join us for a night of modern sound and vision! Sign up on the Facebook event, BArCMuT’s Meetup page, or RSVP to connect@overlap.org
About the Salon:
The Overlap Salon is a regular meetup devoted to sharing code, ideas and projects built with the media toolkit Max/MSP/Jitter from Cycling ‘74 and Ableton’s electronic music performance application, Live. Our salons are a mix of performances, presentations and ad-hoc discussion, dependent upon what kinds of ideas and issues are brought to the table. Everyone is welcome regardless of skill level.
