Andreas Otto’s practical seminar focused on a body-centred perspective on music software. The aim was to create a short performance in which a digital sound process is conceived, developed and played with self-configured interfaces.
Dr. Andreas Otto will be a guest lecturer in the ((audio)) area. His seminars focus on experimental and performative interfaces between the body and electronic sound.
The Aliasing of the SP-1200 I would like to take a closer listen to this clanking SP-1200 sound myself. In order to ensure a supposedly unbiased access to the sound characteristics of the machine, I first create a sine sweep in a common audio editing software – a simple sine tone that sweeps the frequency…
Ultramagnetic M.C.’s / Paul C – Give The Drummer Some »I still got a SP-1200 in my house today. We can go to my house right now, it’s an SP-1200, ’cause that’s what he [Paul C] taught me on. You know, that machine is classic within itself but […] it’s like, lettin’ my man know…
Jeff Mills – Exhibitionist Mix 3 TR-909 Workout Jeff Mills and his 909 in classic white cube setting. Artsy as artsy can get. I watch the »Mix 3 TR-909 Workout« from the DVD Exhibitionist 2. Nothing but Mills and machine in sight. In impossible elegance he is kneeling in front of the grayish cabinet. Pressing start quickly, only…
Mark Fisher’s Ghost Track The Ultramagnetic record has run through, only the crackling of the needle in the run-out groove can still be heard. Not just said motif, there are many reasons to crossfade Paul C.’s small-scale Sampladelia with Mark Fisher’s equally melancholically crackling concept of hauntological sound culture. In some of the more advanced…
Missy Elliott – Lose Control / Cybotron – Clear »Music make you lose control! Music make you lose control! Let’s go!« – Boom and Clap Boom and and Clap and! On top of it all, this ice-cold chromatic synthesizer arpeggio looping non-stop. Everything about this track is iconic. Fatman Scoop’s signature commando voice, the self-surpassing…
The inter-university sound research project in the summer semester of 2021 grows out of the cooperation between the Open Studio in the Künstlerhaus Lauenburg with Leuphana Univ. Lüneburg and the Muthesius Kunsthochschule Kiel.
In October 2021, the Kurpark in Lüneburg became an auditory experience space for four weeks. A sound course with 15 sound stations presented artistic works.
The focus of the seminar Media Literacy is on the individual main topics of the students. The goal is to create a multimedia presentation based on a concrete artifact. The two short films ‘The Gadget Lover’ and ‘copy.paste’ are presented here as practical works.
From July 8 to 10, the 2021 annual conference of the AG Auditive Medienkulturen & Sound Studies in the Gesellschaft für Medienwissenschaft will take place in Lüneburg for the second time.
From May 10th to 15th, 2021, there will be over 80 presentations on media art, electroacoustic music and immersive sound production in workshops, lectures, roundtables and tutorials. Participation as a visitor is possible online.
Model 500 – No UFOs Catalogue No. M-001. The first release on Juan Atkins’ own label, Metroplex, is called Model 500: the technification of the personal name as a cyborg strategy, the posthumanist gesture of the self-referential, heteronymous model identifier. The first track of this first release, »No UFOs«, presents a prototypical techno track as…
The Reaktor Rhythmicon In order to be able to listen to the Rhythmicon and thus start the first listening session of this work, I have to play tricks. The recordings made of the second machine by Joseph Schillinger in the 1940s are hard to get hold of at the Smithsonian. Videos of the third version…
Prince – Purple Music Tschack! Bumm! With the first snare, there’s no stopping it. This thing is running. One. Two. Three. Four. Kick. Snare. Kick. Snare. 140 BPM barely leave time to catch your breath. A stick sound keeps the off-beats moving and swirls one or two sixteenths around the one. After four bars of…
Little Sister – Somebody’s Watching You »The last three Stone Flower singles, released in November and December 1970, all featured the Rhythm King prominently and no doubt sounded completely alien on pop stations, let alone R&B radio. Yet the new version of ›Somebody’s Watching You‹ by Little Sister made the Top 40 and, as such, is…
Shuggie Otis – Pling! / Maestro Rhythm King »Just to find the kind / of another time /down the road a bit /I’ve been walking it« Shuggie Otis, »Happy House«, LP Inspiration Information, CBS Records 1974. The needle slowly slides into the groove. It clatters. The penultimate track of the B-side has been played many times.…
Malte Pelleters work on drum machines (“Futurhythmaschinen”) has been published… The listening sessions contained therein, including links to the music samples, as individual modules can be found on our ((audio)) website. The sessions allow you to do exactly what the web is good at: click, listen, and read while doing so. A series of trailers of the “Futurhythmaschinen”, as addictive as the episodes of some Netflix series.
In 2021, the Cross Innovation Class enters its third round. Interdisciplinary teams, which consist of students from different universities, will again deal with challenges from the practical field of the creative industries. The main focus of the inter-university student project in the summer semester is ’21 is Smart City & Urban Tech’.
