SpukKlang Program
Die SpukKommune is proud to present Cine Zoo and Modern Arsch Museum, a delicious musical aperitif to prepare the 40 Hausgeburtstag Rauchhaus of next week. Come and quench your ears!!!

CINE ZOO. Zoo Interior (Universe And Beyond) and Zoo Exterior(Microorganisms)
Once upon a space, deep in vacuum times of outer sound universe, fragments of infinite memories were gathering, compressing, reaching a boiling point, creating a Big Sound Quake. It exploded and diffused memories in nano dissipated fragments, displacing them through space-time continuum. Cinezoo is on quest to find valuable fragments that will help them to rediscover lost scattered stories hidden within memories.
Cinezoo are dynamic duo, group consisting of video/sound artist/performer Joao Bento and sound designer/composer/sound director Vladimir Rakic. Aside from colaborating in differrent artistic disciplines (theater, film, game, installations), Cinezoo is pure musical project, investigating borders of sound storytelling.
Visual Music? Non – Music? Cinema for Blind? All that together and more? Or none at all?

João Bento
João Bento (1980) Portugal, lives in Berlin and Montemor-o-Novo. Since 2004 compose and perform sound for performances, experimental films and video live acts ( www.canalzero.net). The work articulates analog instruments and amplified sound objects, used in multimedia/multidisciplinary context. Graduated in Visual Arts at ESAD, Caldas da Rainha /Portugal. Trained improvised music with the musician Greg Moore and Theremin with Pamela Kurstin.

Vladimir Rakic
Vladimir Rakic (1974) lives in Amsterdam, Holland and he is active as composer and performer in a field of electro-acoustic music. His work has gone through different phases from tape collages&manipulations until now where he explores improvised music/ instant composition through self-generated digital music, virtual circuit-bending, noise, location recordings, live sampling in the context of live cinema, performance art, sound
instalations. Graduated in 2005 at Hogeschool van de Kunsten Utrecht applied music composition and electro-acoustic composition. Member of sensesurgery.

MODERN ARSCH MUSEUM
Almost all in one. Ganz frisch!!!! Action music, experimental comedy, something like improvisation: Presque rien / Mais que nada and a lot of etcéteras. Ma sehen tomorrow, aber in this moment Modern Arsch Museum are: Angela Cory (Saxophon, Voice, Action), Eduard Mont de Palol (Guitarre, Action), Jose Manuel García (Percussion, Action) and Nilo Gallego (Percussion, Action).

Nilo Gallego
Nilo Gallego has performed in all kinds of spaces, such as "Pigmeus do Mondego" (sound action at the Mondego river), "Amanecer desde Montolivet" and "Fuera de la fábrica Beta" (site-especific), "Felipe vuelve a casa con las ovejas sonando" (sheep concert with shepherd Felipe Quintana), "Canción de éxito mundial" (participatory sound action), "Te invito a un chino" (experimental performance with kanito and Oscar de Paz), "Concierto de megáfonos y sirenas" and "Concierto aspirador" (with Pablo Rega), "Homenaje Cage" (with Markus Breuss), etc. Group projects include "Yavestruz comoandamios parecementerio" (experimental music and action in public spaces), and "Taller espontáneo de pequeñas nadas" (street actions), the collective "Fora do tempo" (field actions) and musical performance groups "Ciegas con Pistola", "Siempre por Detroit" and "Blinden mit Pistolen". He has worked with the "La Danaus" street theatre company, choreographers Olga Mesa, Martine Pisani, Amalia Fernandez, Marisa Amor and Elena Alonso, contemporary theatre directors Rodrigo García, Carlos San Martín and Tomás Aragay, and documentary filmmaker Chus Domínguez. He has improvised music with musicians or dancers such as Patricia Lamas, Africa Navarro, Chefa Alonso, Gunter Heinz, Vanesa Mackness and Wade Matthews; and been a member of the bands Dadajazz (freejazz) and Los Nadie. He teaches sound workshops for children and adults.

José Manuel García
José García was born in Malaga (1978) and today he lives in Berlin. His music, his sound, is based, although not only, in the plastic manipulation of the sonorous information that surrounds me. Million Bass lines, fragments of piano and of any instrument improvisations, accumulations of voices, subjects of the popular classic repertoire, of the historicist academy, ambient sounds and experimental sounds, everything can be deconstructed in samplers, units of loop, to compose a new mass, latent in the present. García musical language does not own the abstraction of the forms of a score, lives in the concrete of the recorded sound, in the basic electronics and in the digital edition by tracks. In a concert, the fragmentation rearticulates in accumulations, repetitions and silences, in a session of sonorous syncretism.

Qeve:: free your visualz. Presentation at 20:00
Qeve is a free tool for live performance and vjing developed by Qe collective with economic support by Catalan independent video maker association Telenoika and Arts Center and New Technologies Hangar from Barcelona. This software try to obtain the same usability of similar commercial applications (resolume, modul8, vdmx) adding some unique feature. It was principally developed for Gnu/Linux Ubuntu operative system. GNU/Linux Ubuntu Operative System is an open source system which most part is released under GPL license;this license let users modify and re- distribute software.
A vjing application let user manipulate video contents in real time. With Qeve is it possible to mix different videos (with audio) at the same time, control them by external devices and synchronize them with an external audio stream.
Qeve's goal is to recreate the same kind of commercial application experience, in an open and collaborative community. For who needs proprietary software for VJ demand Qeve could be an attractive option to migrate to an open operative system.

Rinus van Alebeek vs Tzii. Tapes Manipulation.
Anton Mobin vs d’incise. Frei Improvisation.
Kro de la Bestiole. Bugged TV performance.
Th-Th. Nerdy noises.

Rinus van Alebeek
Self-described dutch pop musician Rinus van Alebeek, manipulator of tapes, realities and audio-novelist, visited Porto for a conference at the Fine Arts University and a concert in Casa Viva. The conference, held in an auditorium with all the lights turned off, was a masterly display of how to lead young artists down the road of absurdity, perversity and mental health. Later on, the concert mixed numerous tapes through Rinus’s custom-made “acoustic laptop” system, creating instant mental landscapes, soundtracks and book pages of the soul. Among the audience stood out a supposed shaman en route to Jerusalem, who confessed to Rinus the concert had been “healing”. If you ever wonder how to measure success, healing a shaman is definitely making it, big time.

Tzii
Musician, Videomaker and Dj, Tzii began to play in public in 1994 and create in 2001 the d.i.y label Night on Earth, producing L.P. and CD-R. Member of the collectives V-Atak and Radon, he’s playing with categorizations and travel between different universes searching a precise form of energy more than a music category. Feeding himself of popular cultures, mainly from Europe and Africa, Tzii explores the sound matter in any forms, playfully or in a more introspective way. He’s close to the old school industrial music. Everything has already been done so everything is possible... let’s abolish the styles border…

Anton Mobin
Objects manipulator & concrete music composer, works for radio, experienced improvisor and addict of fields recording. In the continuity of the Pierre Shaeffer’s concepts, Anton is always in search for new articulations between objects, manipulations, and interaction with his own body. A crack, a fold, a brightness, a jolt in the plan of the sound, a convexity of surface...

d'incise
d'incise is member of the Audioactivity, music & visual collective founded in 2000 in Geneva. In 2002 he starded to produce different kinds of electronic music, from dub to electronica, dangerously sliding to the more experimental ways of electroacoustic. After 2004, he started to release his music on various netlabels as Zymogen or Test Tube. Beside he pratice free improvisation, using laptop, live treatments and various objects & contact mics, Diatribes (open formation with drummer Cyril Bondi) and Karst (quartet with Bondi, Luc Muller and Abstral Compost) are his two main improvised projects. These regular and others occasionnal projets had inclued musicians as barry guy, keith row, jason kahn, tomas korber, christian weber, jacques demierre, norbert moslang, ernesto rodrigues, johann bourquenez, le car de thon, hannah marshall, rafal mazur, keir neuringher, HKM+, Fred gloria et les autres, abdul moimême, hernani faustino, joao pedro viegas, christian graf, nicolas sordet, johanne bourquenez, tzii, dragos tara, benoit moreau, jonas kocher, laurent brutin, pieros SK, delpine horst.

Kro de la Bestiole
His ears were destroyed by way too much concerts of harshcrust and buldogrind, Kro de la Bestiole quits quickly any musical revendication. He likes to stay in punk’s mud, working a violent and physical aspect of raw electronic material, playing with distortions and textures with physical controller more than sequencers. In 1964, he discovers the concept of electronic drums by hitting his computer. Now he has done a lot of progress by plugin his computer. He’s playing too in the variable formation “greatfulldeadkennedys”.

Th-Th
Thomas Thiery as an artist concerns himself particularly with the sound medium. After his physics degree, he continued his studies on sound and image in the Université de Provence. At the same time he got in touch with graphic programming in general, and more particularly with the software Pure Data. Equipped with sensors, he collaborated as a sound programmer for audiovisual installations and dance performances. With Thierry Coduys, he completed his training at the Kitchen in Paris and worked on graphic scores with the help of Pure data and IanniX. Since then, he has focused his sound research on new forms of musical writing. To continue his work, he particularly relies on free and open source software which gives him more open advantages.

Michal Dudek DDC
Michal Dudek, born 1979 in Warsaw. Since his DAAD scholarship in 2006-07 at the University of Fine Arts - Berlin in Rebecca Horn studio he is living and working in Berlin.

Projekt Netlabelkultur und freie Musik

Einführung
Das Música Vermella Netlabel in Zusammenarbeit mit der SpukKommune organisiert ein Treffen über die Netlabelkultur und die Freie Musik mit Workshops, Konferenzen und Live Acts im Rauchhaus e.V. Mit diesen Aktivitäten möchten wir die Netlabelkultur, die Freie Musik und die neuen Formen der musikalischen Edition und Difussion im digitalen Zeitalter verbreiten.
Die Netlabels sind Musiklabels, die ihre Musik primär über das Internet vertreiben. Häufig sind es selbstorganisierte, nicht kommerzielle Do-It-Yourself-Projekte von Musikern und Musikliebhabern.
Netlabels bieten in aller Regel so genannte „freie Musik“ an. Freie Musik steht unter einer freien Lizenz, ist GEMA-frei und kostenlos. Der Vertrieb dieser Musik ist frei von finanziellen Gewinnabsichten. Die angebotenen Musikdateien werden allgemein auch als Netaudio bezeichnet, wobei der Begriff sehr weit gefasst ist und auch für andere freie Musikdateien im Internet Verwendung findet.
Das Anbieten kostenfreier Produkte in Gesellschaften, die einen hohen Wert auf Kommerz legen, ist subversiv. Die Netlabelszene ist daher, ob bewusst oder unbewusst, eine Gegenkultur zur Musikindustrie, ein Ausdruck des Wunsches nach weniger Kommerzialisierung, aber für mehr Kultur und Freiheit und daher auch ein Ausdruck von Kapitalismuskritik, auf der Suche nach Freiräumen.
Nicht zuletzt dort die Creative-Commons-Lizenz, unter der ein Großteil der Netlabel-Veröffentlichungen publiziert werden, lässt eine Weiterverwendung in Mixen und Radiostreams auch von rechtlicher Seite zu.

Programm
Alle Aktivitäten des Projekts finden im Rauchhaus e.V. vom 11 bis 13 Februar 2010 statt.

Donnerstag 11 ab 19:00 Uhr
Workshop Dubstepmusikproduktion. Einführung in die Software, die benutzt wird, um Dubstep-Musik zu produzieren. Koordination: Pisu [Música Vermella Netlabel und BrokenHead Records].

Dubstep bezeichnet eine größtenteils in Süd-London entstandene Musikrichtung, die aus Garage und 2 Step hervorging. Dubstep ist meist minimalistisch und zeichnet sich durch eine große Betonung des Bass im Klangbild aus, ähnlich wie auch Dub und Drum and Bass. Dubstep hat vielseitige Spielrichtungen, die Bandbreite reicht von extrem reduzierten, rhythmuslastigen Tracks bis hin zu solchen mit Drum'n'Bass-ähnlichen, harten Lead-Basslines. Gern eingesetzt werden auch möglichst spektakuläre Klangveränderungen beim Bass-Sound und viele andere "Spielereien". Auch melodielastigere Arrangements sowie mehr oder weniger subtile Techno/Rave-Referenzen sind beliebt. Dubstep hat, seit es als eigenständiges Genre Gestalt angenommen hat, immer mehr Elemente aus vielen anderen Stilrichtungen neben Dub und Reggae verarbeitet. In neuerer Zeit bewegt sich die musikalische Entwicklung des Dubstep in Richtung Minimal Techno und vergleichbare Spielformen der elektronischen Musik.
Sachen, die mitzubringen sind: Laptop
Eintritt Frei

Freitag 12 ab 19:00 Uhr


Workshop Circuit Bending. Koordination und Live Act: KMPRU

Circuit bending, eine aleatorische Musikkunst, umfasst das kreative Kurzschliessen von elektronischen Geräten mit niedriger Spannung, wie z. B. Batterie-betriebene Gitarren-Effektgeräte, Geräusch erzeugendes Kinder-Spielzeug und kleine digitale Synthesizer mit dem Ziel, neue musikalische oder visuelle Instrumente und Sound-Erzeuger zu kreieren. Durch das Unterstreichen von Spontaneität und Zufall werden die Techniken des Circuit-Bending hauptsächlich mit Noise assoziiert, obwohl auch konventionelle Musiker und Musikgruppen mit sogenannten bent instruments experimentiert haben. Circuit-Bending beinhaltet normalerweise das „Entkleiden“, also Aufschrauben der Geräte und das Hinzufügen von Komponenten wie Schaltern und Potentiometern, welche den Schaltkreis verändern.
Während die Technik häufig als nur eine Methode zum Erzeugen von nicht vom Hersteller beabsichtigten Sounds betrachtet wird, wird Circuit-Bending von manchen als ein mehr spiritueller Prozess angesehen. In dem populären Video What is Circuit Bending? beschreiben Künstler Circuit-Bending als „Parallele Welten innerhalb von Schaltkreisen, welche eigentlich gar nicht existieren sollten, aber sie sind da“, … „es ist mehr Kontrolle über unser Chaos. Und das ist worum es geht,“ … „eine explosive psychedelische surreale Welt des Klangs.“ Diese Einsichten suggerieren, dass versteckte Klänge oder „Sounds“ als verstecktes Potential in jedem Schaltkreis vorhanden sind, und die Aufgabe von Circuit-Bending ist es diese versteckten Welten zu erkunden und das Potential eines Gerätes durch Experimente zu erschließen.
Sachen, die mitzubringen sind: Spielwaren und Kinder-Spielzeug mit Schaltkreis, Stromschraubenzieher.
Eintritt Frei
