Kode 9's gotta be the one guy that would even have me considering not going DMZ. Throw in a lecture as well

Sort of feel like a trip to London though. Guess I'll wait see the line up

A really great idea - I'd definitely be there if i didn't have something of my own down in London.

Big up Futureproof crew

Big things. Looking forward to this, havn't seen Dr Kode 9 play for ages.

Only £4 an all. You really are spoiling us

I've got a horrible feeling if I went up to nottingham the night before, I'd revert to old habits and get so drunk that I'd miss Kode's lecture the next day and then I wouldn't be able to see him DJ because I might get cornered about it

So Dr 9's book is out then ? look forward to reading that and would love to attend the lecture/gig, unfortunately...

Hopefully it'll get youtubed.

Futureproof wrote: Futureproof Arts Festival is a National Lottery funded celebration of electronic visual arts and music, taking place on Saturday May 3rd 2008. This one day event will take place at the Art Organisation gallery in Nottingham, comprising a varied schedule of hands-on workshops,
performances, lectures and exhibitions, and followed by an afterparty in the evening. The event will see the opening of an open-access community music studio that will be free to the public on a permanent basis.

By Day: 1-6pm @The Art Organisation, 21 Station Street

Admission: FREE

Workshops, Discussion, Short films and Music

Discussion

Steve Goodman (AKA Kode 9) – University of East London/Hyperdub/Cybernetic Culture Research Unit

Steve discusses his book 'Sonic Warfare: sound, affect and the ecology of fear' due out on MIT Press in 2009. This theoretical book investigates the deployment of sound systems across the military-entertainment complex, from the acoustic weapons used in crowd control by US army in Iraq through to the commerical use of viral sonic branding and the DIY media tactics of pirate radio networks. The book argues for closer attention to be paid to the invisible, sonic modulation of affect stealthily at work in contemporary capitalism.

Kamal Joory (aka Geiom) – Berkane Sol

Kamal presents a short history of the synthesiser and its impact on music since its arrival in the late 1950’s, tracing a path from the times when pioneers had to design and build their own from scratch to the age of the internet where enthusiasts can create and distribute free virtual instruments with a few clicks of a mouse. The power of synthetic sound excites people in all kinds of different ways – from avant garde minimalist installations created by high brow academics to euphoric rave kids dancing into the sunrise: this presentation will attempt to explore all aspects of the implications of these wonderful instruments.

Shlom - Boomkat/Modern Love/CCO
Founder of the highly influential Boomkat record shop and the City Centre Offices and Modern Love labels gives us an insiders view of how electronic music has changed over the last decade in line with cultural and technological developments and how retailers and labels have adapted to stay relevant in the age of internet.

Workshops

This event will see the launch of an open access studio which will host
a number of workshops throughout the day with an emphasis on D.I.Y.
Techniques and open source practices.

The workshops will include:
Pure Data – How to turn a webcam into a theramin
Music production - Using buzz machines and Ableton
VJing/Live video techniques -Including Isadora/Quartz Composer with Barret from Vent media
Simple amplifier construction
Speaker cabinet design by Dagobah engineers
Build your own gramaphone

Film

A series of short films curated by Emily Wilczek will be screened
throughout the afternoon.
The programme is based on the theme of ‘sound on screen’ and will
explore how the aural relates to the visual and vice versa.
Maybe music, maybe noise, certainly exploratory.
