The Game Of Life

The Game of Life Foundation

The Game of Life was established on September 13, 1999.

The Game of Life aims to organize projects in the field of spatial representation in electronic music.

With our programming we bring a variety of quality electronic music into the limelight.

We offer composers (in the broadest sense) the opportunity to work with our cell display system Wave Field Synthesis (WFS is the only mobile system in the world). Thus we offer listeners an experience with the current surround sound systems at home not to do.

We are closely involved in the process of creating, producing and programming stages and help where possible to the audience development.

Using computerized 'throat singing' and binaural beats. 'The Burning of Scholars' title comes from Emperor Qin Shi Huang's book burnings and burial of scholars. Created mostly from synthesized speech, by breaking down the phonetics and acoustics that form words and meaning, only the resonances remain.

1-bit symphony

simply genius! Love it..

Tristan Perich's 1-Bit Symphony is an electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip. Though housed in a CD jewel case, 1-Bit Symphony is not a recording in the traditional sense; it literally "performs" its music live when turned on. A complete electronic circuit—programmed by the artist and assembled by hand—plays the music through a headphone jack mounted into the case itself. 1-Bit Symphony is available from Cantaloupe Music.

This year, SoundFjord, the UK's first sound art dedicated gallery, brings a fine collection of international sonic art to the Dragonfly cultural programme.

In the centre of idyllic surrounds your ears will deceive you. From the tree's tropical birds shall sing of their home in the Amazon, industrial clanks and groans will ripple across the lake, whilst spectral voices will coo and woo us into their depths; doors will creak and slam where there are no openings, chinks of light will fall on pools of liquid ambience and abstract composition; muttering and laughing, preaching and monologues, all mingle with the instruments on the main stage, and the music of nature itself.

Be sure to follow your ears to the SoundFjord Sound Art Tent, to be found in the open field between the Art Hut and the Bronze-Age Bar.

Welcome to Soundspiration: a page dedicated to works that inspire the SoundFjord Team!

This page has been incited to concentrate attention on a number of inspirational sound artists and their works. Over a period of two months, chosen artists are given a Soundspiration Spotlight: works are available to listen to (and in some cases, download where permission is been granted).

SoundFjord also details further information about the artists and their works, so you are able to fully acquaint yourself with their creative practices.

Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival

The Festival is now inviting proposals for commissions in two categories; ‘Artists’ Moving Image’ for an artist or film-maker to make a new piece of moving image work, and ‘Film Score’ for a musician or composer to write and perform a new soundtrack to an existing film or films of their choice.

Each commission offers a fee of £2,500 to create new works relating to the festival theme, ‘Stagings’.

The works will be presented as part of the Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival, 2010 from 15th to 19th September in Berwick-upon-Tweed. A number of unique venues are available for presentation of the commissions.

Sonic Wallpaper

i dunno if anyone is interested but i was playing around with a program that visualizes audio [spectrogram] but this one's in real time. It looks a tad retro, but hey.

Anyway I thought it looked like wallpaper. Real time wallpaper. Which you could do, e.g. the walls updating to the sound of people in the room [or sid pissing about on an analogue synth..] Or I dunno, maybe I'll print it out as physical wallpaper for analogue/digital? or something....nah its all been done before - but Somewhere in it there;s a good idea.... i dunno.. i just thought I'd say something... hello!

cooking from sound!

.....are working on the generator’s Linear Alternator — the part which turns the sound energy into electricity. The system uses special configurations of magnets which generate electrical energy from sound.....[click for link]
