Zencoded. What’s inside a sound that has no meaning? |
People expect listening to be more than listening and so sometimes they speak of inner listening or the meaning of sound when I talk about music it finally comes to peoples minds that I am talking about sound that doesn’t mean anything… I love sounds just as they are and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are. |

Constructing realities with Kyma |
Scott Miller will present an overview of Nelson Goodman’s theory of expression, which demonstrates how the arts express something when they metaphorically exemplify it. He will address issues such as how sound can function as a symbol system, the acousmatic vs. the mimetic in aesthetic expression, and analytical and creative applications of this symbol theory in electroacoustic music. This will include a performance of “Whispering Beast.” |

Key performance: Nearly Ninety |
Commissioned in 2009 by choreographer Merce Cunningham as part of his new dance piece in celebration of his 90th birthday, Nearly Ninety was premiered in New York at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in April 2009. This performance is of an abbreviated version of the original piece, lasting nearly 20 (instead of nearly 90) minutes. You can see a full performance featuring Merce Cunningham's Dance Company and live music from Takehisa Kosugi, John Paul Jones and Neokarma Jooklo Experience at the Barbican in London next month: www.barbican.org.uk/theatre/event-detail.asp?ID=11023 This performance is dedicated to the memory of Merce Cunningham. |

GEMMA (generative music for media application) The computer as realtime moviesound orchestra. |
How can algorithmic and generative composition methods from the field of experimental New Music can be transferred to the applied sector of media production. A software tool is going to be developed, which is meant to simplify selection and production of media music by an optimized user interface as well as (partially) automated composition without the need for profound musicologist know-how.

An alternative method of controlling symbolic sounds in performance |
I have chosen source sounds which I feel carry deep symbolic meanings to certain people, using the idea of religion as a jumping off point for exploring the new meanings that can arise from combining these sounds and controlling them live in ways which only Kyma has ever allowed me to. |

System of shadows. A non-semantic dialogue and interactive performance environment for trumpet/flugelhorn and Kyma |
This presentation focuses on the gestural and abstract performance lexicon that fuses System of Shadows, and positions the work securely within the realm of real-time non-semantic dialog and symbolic interchange. |

03.50 pm |
The Pentagon – an experiment using Kyma for live 3D audio manipulation in the music venue of the future |
The purpose of 'The Pentagon' is to present a new type of performance space that provides the audience with a unique social and musical experience in surround sound. The performer is positioned at the center of The Pentagon (in the middle of the audience) and uses Kyma to spatially mix and manipulate audio - alternatively, an assortment of performers can be positioned around the edges of The Pentagon. This experiment aims to heighten the audience's awareness of the real and virtual space around them. |
