Attention all Kiwis, Owen and I will have an installation at Te Papa Museum in Wellington, NZ and will also be performing as part of the Machine Orchestra in two shows this month.
We will be doing a Bricktable installation as part of the Our Sounds event Sunday August 15th, 2010 and will run for the day alongside other work from the New Zealand School of Music. Come by Te Papa and check our Bricktable and other interface work by some of our students!
For those interested in live electronics, world music and/or musical robotics, come see the Machine Orchestra. Of course, the robots won’t just be playing pre-defined sequences, we will be interacting and controlling them live, through a myriad of custom controllers and interfaces (various interactions with Arduinomes, Hyperinstruments such as the ESitar and EDilruba), as well as other gestural controllers such as the Helio.
We have two very special guests for these shows, Curtis Bahn from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and Tomie Hahn (performing Pika Pika!).
Our NZ debut will take place August 14th, 2010 at the University of Auckland, Studio One, Kenneth Myers Centre. Go here for more information and to purchase tickets.
The second show is free and will be at the ILOTT theatre in Wellington, August 20th, 2010. Wine and food starts at 4:30pm with the concert starting at 5:15pm sharp.
Hope to see you all there!
