Workshop

Entre el 17 de Setiembre al 1 de Octubre del 2008 estuve en Madrid participando de este taller.
Una muy linda y productiva experiencia. Nuevos amigos worldwide.

En este taller-seminario internacional, dirigido por Javier Duero y coordinado por Daniel González Xavier se desarrollarán las diez propuestas seleccionadas mediante convocatoria internacional, que abordan el uso de herramientas de hardware y código abierto para explorar la intersección audio-imagen. Además de las dos semanas de taller intensivo de desarrollo colaborativo de proyectos, se celebrará un seminario teórico en el que participarán Francisco López y Hans-Cristoph Steiner (profesores del taller), Kent Clelland, Xabier Erkizia, Steve Heimbecker, Yaco (Santiago Peresón) y Jorge Haro.

El proyecto que presente:

Pulverización 3.0 -Bacteria electrónica programable

by Diego Javier Alberti (Argentina)

A sound project consisting of producing interactive sound installations that invite reflection on our habitual sound environment. Pulverización is based on the exploration of the surrounding sound spectrum, raising awareness and “limited listening” to those sounds that surround us in our everyday life. This is the third Pulverización workshop and our challenge is to expand limits related to the sources producing those sounds and work directly with radio-electric space, the process I had to in an original way to produce new sounds, never heard before, unique and unrepeatable.

Our aim is to develop electronic “bacteria” able to process and recycle electronic elements to achieve other new ones: the bacteria consist of eight FM radios and 40 speakers connected to a central system. The radios are the entrance point to the system, taking up radiophonic signals from various local stations at a given moment and submit them to granular processing. Granular synthesis is a process through which new sounds are obtained based on very small fragments of other sounds reproduced as a continuous sequence. The central system consists of an audio matrix able to connect the radios with any of the 40 speakers. This central system has a microcontroller handled by the matrix that produces organized reproduction sequences; that is, each moment this “brain”, based on an artificial intelligence algorithm, takes fragments of sound from the radios and sequentially distributes them among the speakers at a speed that turns the resulting sound into a new, unrepeatable sound. A sort of sound environment, a granular cloud.
