<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Field
Effect with Martin Howse</font></font></strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">A
three day workshop actively exploring the effects of electromagnetic
fields on living systems; on the human body and the human psyche. The
effects of complex field interactions with such systems, particularly
with the psyche, are largely unknown and open to debate. Field Effect
proposes to obtain first-hand,experimental knowledge of these
relations, using DIY technologies. Experiments already suggest links
between low frequency electromagnetic emissions and experiences of
hauntings and UFO sightings. The first two days will be devoted to
the construction of devices to both generate and measure magnetic
fields and to examine the effects of these fields on living systems
(such as plants or moulds), and on the body and psyche (measuring
skin temperature, skin resistance, heartrate). In parallel, a series
of experimental situations will be constructed to provide insights
into the interactions between complex spectral ecologies
(communication technologies such as wireless networks, mobile phone
bases, TV, radio, power lines, motors, all electronic devices) and
life.</font></font></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Participants
will learn how to construct simple devices to measure heart rate and
skin resistance, how to interface these to software and log/interpret
results and how to intervene within electromagnetic space. No
previous knowledge of fields required.</font></font></p>

<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Noise
As Input, Noise As Filter/ A Compositional Approach by Kasper
Toeplitz</font></font></strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Not
so much, or not only, a software workshop, but rather a composition
course in electronic music which takes as its starting point the use
of noise, similar to the (white) canvas of a painter or rather to the
block of stone of a sculptor. Considering the noise as the sole
input, more attention will be paid to its internal structure as well
to its different shapes and colors, including way to manipulate it
from the inside, starting the composition on the input material
itself rather that only on its transformations. The noise can of
course be created by strictly digital means but can also be
“extracted” from the “real world” – and one way to do so
without simply recording what’s “outside”, is to use webcams to
bring a digital version of the world – vision being transformed
into (noisy) sounds. Noise, as in white noise, pink noise, black,
fractal, etc, as the prime, or even only source for real-time
composition/synthesis; then we work on blocks of sound and not on
pitches, have “clouds” of sound with more or less precise limits
– “uncertain limits” -, different textures of different
densities. Close to the orchestral ideas of people such as Ligeti,
Penderecki, Xenakis or Scelsi. The examples will be given in Max/MSP
and Jitter, but other softwares are welcome, as the workshop is much
more about the “why” than the “how”, and the goal is to
create a composition based on the ideas explored there. Kasper

<p align="JUSTIFY">———————<font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3"><br>Kasper
Toeplitz is a composer, electric bass player and musician who has
developed his work in the no man’s land between “academic”
composition (orchestra, ensembles, opera) and electronic “new
music” or “noise music”. Has won several prizes and
distinctions: 1st prize for orchestral composition at the Besançon
Festival, 1st prize at the “Opéra autrement / centre Acanthes”
competition, Villa Médicis Hors les Murs (New York), grant Leonardo
da Vinci (San Francisco), Villa Kujoyama (Kyoto), DAAD (Berlin). Got
numerous commissions from the French Governement, the radio and from
electronic studios such as Ircam, GRM , GMEM, CRFMW, EMS. Works with
experimental or unclassifiable musicians such as Zbigniew Karkowski,
Tetsuo Furudate, Dror Feiler, Art Zoyd, Eliane Radigue, Phill
Niblock, Ulrich Krieger, Stevie Wishart, Z’ev, among others. Some
of his long-term groups or projects are LE DEPEUPLEUR (with Zbigniew
Karkowski), KERNEL (a trio of computer players), Basstaarang (with
Philippe Foch playing taarang), Ephémérides (bass & image by
Strom Varx). Has definitively integrated the computer into the very
heart of his work, as a tool of thought and composition, and as a
live instrument, hybridising more traditional instruments if
necessary, or working on the sheer electronic noise.</font></font></p>
