Okeanos ensemble was brought together in 2001 with the aim of creating opportunities for young composers, initiating pioneering performance events, and often collaborating with other art forms.
Previous collaborations have involved the British sculptor Katharine Dowson and Myriad, a vast curtain structure of some 4000 lenses combined with the music of Lynne Plowman, and the acclaimed Japanese textile exhibition Textural Space, (curated by Lesley Millar) in celebration with the Japan 2001 Festival and Japanese composer, Dai Fujikura……..
La espectacular performance de Guitar Drag ya está en disco, publicado por neon gallery
Guitar Drag by Christian Marclay is now being released on Neon Records. The record is actually the sound track for Marclay’s video with the same title that was shown first at London’s Hayward Gallery sound art exhibition “Sonic Boom” in 2000. The piece as well as Marclay has become an icon in sound art circles, and although the video can only be seen in exhibitions as an installation, it is widely known. The full 14 minutes sound track is released on a beautiful 12’’ clear vinyl record packaged in a sleeve with stills from the video.

_ Finalmente ha sido publicado un libro-disco monográfico a uno de los artistas audiovisuales más “finos” y elegantes del arte contemporáneo, Hans Peter Kuhn. La editorial, también alemana, Kehrer Verlag ha sido la responsable de este gran (y lujoso) trabajo.
Hans Peter Kuhn is a sound artist and composer. He was born in Kiel (Germany) he lives and works in Berlin. He started his artistic career as early as the age of 6 when he performed in the theatre class of his school. Being 14 years old he initiated his first Rock’n’ Roll band and in 1975 he started his professionell career at the Schaubuehne am Halleschen Ufer in Berlin (now Schaubuehne am Lehniner Platz).
There he worked as a sound engineer on the productions of Peter Stein, Klaus-Michael Grueber, Luc Bondy and others (e.g. “Shakespeare’s Memory”, “As You Like It”, “Winterreise”, “Die Wupper”).
In his last season at the Schaubuehne he got together with Robert Wilson and they created “Death, Destruction & Detoit” as their first collaboration which was to be followed by about 30 other productions in the next years. These coproductions include not only theatre pieces but also videos and installations.

Alex Bradley and Charles Poulet have used spectral, optical and acoustic applications to create an environment that subverts the usual relationship between physical and sensory spatial awareness, a space in-between, an impossible geography inhabited by beauty and disorientation.

WHAT’S NEW IN 0.8.5
One-click subscription: This is huge for publishers– let your viewers subscribe to your channel from your website with a single-click. You can even subscribe people to a batch of channels, in case you want to recommend a list of favorites or if you publish multiple feeds. And the best part: if a Windows user doesn’t have Democracy Player already, they can download a version of the application that comes with your channels pre-subscribed– it’s your own branded video player. We believe that Democracy Player is the best way for a publisher to present a video feed because it’s the best experience for the user. Want to try it out? Check out our brand new 1-Click Button Maker: http://subscribe.getdemocracy.com/
External torrent support: Democracy Player can now serve as a standard BitTorrent client for .torrent files that you download from the web. We think this is a great feature because so many torrents are video content and if you use Democracy Player to download your torrents, you’ll be able to watch them right in the player as soon as they are done.
Fullscreen controls on windows: The Windows version now has fullscreen controls so that you can skip forward and back, fast forward, rewind, pause, etc. Mac and Linux already have fullscreen controls.
Interface polish: We’ve made a few nice improvements to the interface, including: an indicator that shows when channels are updating and a nicer download progress bar. Additionally, we now use Video Bomb when you email a video, which should make sharing videos easier for most people.
Bug fixes, speed improvements, and tweaks: We say this every time and it’s true every time– this is our most stable release yet. And one of the most important things that we do is subtle refinements to the way the interface works: better dialog boxes, better settings, better menu items, more intelligent behavior. We’re always working to perfect the user experience.
Sound good? Get Democracy 0.8.5: www.getdemocracy.com
