Pre-produce, finance, produce, shot and edit, post produce, print on 35″ stock, promote and distribute a small budget independent film in 2010. The White People is a short film, shot on Red Camera in one night the 19th of March 2010 in a empty building due to demolition. Records a journey were the question “what is evil” is being formulated and put in a ritual context. It aims to become the teaser for the risky trip needed to find an answer to the same question. I ask how a digital film can be...
Realtime audio-performance (30 min) Is sound work containing materials originated by playing and experimenting with (bash) linux console and using one simple command: cat /dev/mem >> /dev/dsp. This action will dump a file (in this case a file like “/dev/mem” which is related to the computer memory) towards our sound device “/dev/dsp”. It will start then interpreting this input data transforming them into sounds.A raw and 8-bit sound is generated containing its evolutions,dynamic changes, rhyth...
Slub sound emerges from slub software; melodic and chordal studies, generative experiments and beat processes. Process-based sonic improvisations; live generative music using hand crafted and live coded apps, scripts and l-systems in networked synchrony. With roots in UK electronica and tech culture, slub build their own software environments for creating music in realtime. Only custom composition and DSP software is used. Everything you hear is formed by human minds.Slub project their screens...

Phantasmata = n. pl. phan ·tas ·ma ·ta, from Greek phantasma. Images of the soul, mental images, something existing in perception only. Mental imagery (varieties of which are sometimes colloquially refered to as ‘visualizing,’ ’seeing in the mind’s eye,’ ‘hearing in the head,’ ‘imagining the feel of,’ etc.) is quasi-perceptual experience; it resembles perceptual experience, but occurs in the absence of the appropriate external stimuli. Description = Empiric noise-at-a-distance, electronic circ...
Is an audiovisual performance that uses unique electronic instruments, delicate and unstable, built by the combination of assorted materials found at electronic debris, using Circuit Bending. These devices when played together generate electrical signals that reach a wide range of frequencies (from audible to ultrasonic). Depending on the combination of these signs, to locate its source is impossible, because the space is filled with this mass of sound that resonates in our body. The instrumen...
Cities lie and die. Buildings are built, destroyed and rebuilt, like respiration. People are stacked up in layers, living their lives on top of each other, in their own office or apartment. Living or working in a space that is being constantly torn apart and reconfigured has an intense impact on one’s psyche. The dust and noise are so habitual that it becomes hard to imagine life without them. In Dystophonia, two musicians, artists and developers offer you an experience with noise and light. T...
It uses sound recordings and footage from expedition to Antartica in december 2010. Very Low Frequencies and transduced hydrophone sound from Wedell seals were recorded during 10 days journey in an icebraker. The project collects sounds in remote places, antartica, atacama and isla robinson crusoe (previous to feb2710 tsunami). The project focus is the monitoring of remote places, often only occupied by scientist and military. *the means to monitor pollution and hear the invisible in the hands...
A presentation on the art and tech behind my project RDEX – covering aesthetics of higher dimensions, emergent behaviour, GPU programming for audio-visuals, using databases for image similarity, and so on… RDEX (reaction-diffusion explorer) is an installation and performance piece that explores in an autonomous hyperspace mathematical model, searching for interesting emergent behaviour (life-alike, alife). http://rdex.goto10.org
