SOUND INSTALLATION
The installation is characterised by the interplay of two concepts that we will define as Displacement and Extension. Through its use of radio signals that are being received in real time, and those that are digitally pre-recorded, the work posits an extension of the artistic experience (or at least of natural phenomena that can be apprehended as artistic material) beyond the physical location of the gallery space.

Discharges from lightning storms, which are currently in progress around the planet, or which happened once and were recorded, combine in the work to create a complex network of temporal and spatial displacements. What we are hearing may be the resultant of a lightning storm currently in progress, or may be a recording made during an historical storm; a recording that was made at an unknown point in history, and at a location that is remote from the gallery space.

IxiQuarks is graphical user interface (GUI) environment for live improvisation that allows for user interaction on hardware, GUI and code level. The ixiQuarks were made with the intention to be suitable instruments for live improvisation. The ixiQuarks tools are divided into the following categories: basic utilities, instruments, effects and filters. These tools all manipulate audio on audio channels and the idea is that the user routes audio from one tool to another, like connecting guitar effect pedals together. There are 52 Audio Channels by default, but that can be changed easily in the preference file. The sound channel can be stereo or mono defined by the radio buttons on the bottom of the quarks browser.

The quarks browser shows the respective categories with lines in between. By pressing the “open” button or hitting “Return” you open the tool.

Many of the instruments in ixiQuarks support Wacom tablet (for pressure) so we recommend trying it out with a tablet. We are working on support for any hardware interface for the instruments.

ixiQuarks exist in 3 different forms: ixiQuarks, ixiQuarks Pro and ixiQuarks as Quarks library for SuperCollider. (ixiQuarks are written in the SuperCollider programming language). For non-programmers, we recommend ixiQuarks, for people that like experimenting with programming and write their own instruments as part of ixiQuarks, we recommend ixiQuarks Pro. For SuperCollider users, we simply recommend installing the ixiQuarks from the repository.

Tools:
basic utilities: AudioIn, Recorder, Player, BufferPool, PoolManager, FreqScope, WaveScope, EQMeter, MixerNode, Amplifier, ChannelSplitter, TrigRecorder.
instruments: SoundScratcher, Predators, Gridder, BufferPlayer, GrainBox, PolyMachine, ScaleSynth
audio effects: Delay, Freeverb, AdCVerb, Distortion, ixiReverb, Chorus, Octave, Tremolo, Equalizer, CombVocoder, RandomPanner, MRRoque, MultiDelay
filters: Bandpass, Lowpass, Highpass, Resonant Lowpass, Resonant Highpass, Resonant, Klanks
generators: Noise, Oscillators

Matt Thomas: Proudly presenting DJ Loopdloop’s terminatorX turntable. A very interesting approach that hides the mouse completely inside the turntable.

Turntable gallery
While scratching with the mouse usually sounds the way terminatorX users want it to (at least if the feedback I get is representative) it doesn’t really feel like scratching. The only way to get that traditional haptic feedback is to turn your turntable into a mouse device.

If you want to do this without harming your mouse nor turntable, the method suggested by the terminatorX logo should be feasible. Optical input devices are known to produce best results in such a scenario. For those interested here’s a document on how I turned my old turntable into a terminatorX device.

About
The sound installation Flounder is created by the composer, musician and programmer Øyvind Brandtsegg. This work of sound has been built over an existing sculpture by the sculptor Nils Aas, which carries the same title, and which is located at Straumen in Inderøy, Norway.

The work was initiated in 2003 while Nils Aas was still alive, and he showed great interest in the initiative. He thought that the sound would add a new dimension to the sculpture and said: “I really would like to hear the Flounder sing”.

La Asociación Cultural Fase es un colectivo formado por músicos coruñeses que tiene como objetivo la difusión y el fomento de la música experimental en Galicia. Buscan expandir las nociones existentes de este tipo de música, trabajar con ideas y formas aún no desarrolladas suficientemente en el ámbito musical y experimentar activamente con ellas en la búsqueda de nuevos estímulos que puedan reorganizar sus conceptos artísticos.
