Mind the Volcano
"Mind the Volcano is a text-based TV-performance with a typewriter logic. All the visuals consist of text characters, based on words and images from books. The music is composed live in a text-based software, shown as a part of the visual story. Words, images and music work closely together."
This is likely the first ever performance with remote controlled teletext visuals. Right? Not to mention all of the fantastic typewriter-style PETSCII animations. Raquel Meyers, yup yup! And then me doing lots of live music - sometimes even completely from scratch. Oh boy!
New Video!
Yesh yesh! Raquel Meyers made this video, and then I made the sounds for it. It was released in the magazine Det Grymma Svärdet 13/14.
Wiiiii! Uiuiuiui!
Memoblast
We were invited by Transmediale to make a new version of our fax performance (also check the book). This time we will do it an office setting, working more with e.g stamps & typewriters. -> MEMOBLAST!
And you can be part of it! Please fax us on the 29 Januari, 17.00-22.00 (Berlin time). Your faxes will arrive straight into our performance, and get the memo treatment. If you don't have a fax, you can also do it online (see below).

The Ferret Show: A Musical With Uwe Schenk Band
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQEw602X6F0&feature=share&list=PLkkD_97Wy253GB-yj2foKlEbUMx5G2ns7
This is a 20-minute musical performed by me, 4 musicians and Raquel Meyers. Uwe Schenk rearranged my songs for bass, saxophone, harpsichord (spinet) and drums. Raquel animated the story with text graphics, and sequenced it live.
Most of the songs are tightly arranged, but others are quite improvised. I used a tracker to change some songs on the fly, and also played the C64 as a piano using Cynthcart. Quite a challenge to be as pro as the Uwe Schenk Band!
The videos are available in better quality at Uwe Schenks website. The original songs are either unreleased, from here or Cherry CD or perhaps lurking around on internet2008.
Big up to Uwe Schenk and Dragan Expensiveshit for making this happen!
