RUN VIE

04. of October, 2009 | Posted in

by Kompact

For those of you who are in Vienna this week: You should definitely check out a week-long festival called RUN VIE starting tomorrow, Monday, October 5th, hosted by our friends from supercity.at

Just to give you some names and highlights: Tomorrow there will be a fLako performance at Café Leopold in the course of RUN VIE vs. Blue Flowers. Tuesday would probably be my personal favourite event as DJ Buzz is presenting his Cosmic War of the Planets at Bellaria Kino together with Dorian Concept, DJ Chris Fader and the Twintowas. Prepare for some audiovisual explosion! (btw, there's also a very good limited edition LP that goes by the same name, definitely worth checking out!) The week continues strong with RUN VIE going head to head with VICE, The Loud Minority, Melting Pot Music and Praterei and acts like Dimlite, Die Vamummtn, JR&PH7, Marc Hype & Jim Dunloop, Mike Slott, Bobbito Garcia, Wisdom, Brenk, Trishes, Zuzee, Pezo Fox and many more ...

For the full event lineup and schedule either head to the Supercity Blog or get the german *.pdf overview here.

Kompact Projects Update!

31. of July, 2009 | Posted in

Long time no project I thought and got to renewing stuff you might already know and adding things you most definitely don't....

As you can see in the column above, I posted a project from 2008 called "Mode X", which is a 50 minute video installation playing with the concept of ripping the meaning from retro video games. Check it out here...

Also, I've finally updated the documentation of my 2007 gem "Yeah, Yeah, The Birds", an audio installation dealing with feedback and reflection in architectural space. Check it out here...

Last but not least, I've completed part of my photo series "This Is Tunnel Vision!", which, as the name already suggests deals with tunnel architecture and its decontextualisation. Part 2 here and Part 3 here...

Enjoy!

And don't forget to head out to Florido Independent Beach Today and Tomorrow for some action featuring Mr. Wisdom, Sweet Susie, Cut-ex, Lens J. and so forth....

sonar 2009 diary

26. of June, 2009 | Posted in

by clrcdd

last week the Sonar festival 2009 took place in barcelona. the most obvious trend to observe was that there are much more live performances going on rather than simply djing, so lets summarize. Day 1 featured Tim Exile with a show entitled "we are the robots", where the musician was accompanied by an essemble of 4 robotic instruments.(video) later that day we watched french experimental hiphop producer Debruit who is also worth mentioning for his fine cut-up sound.

the second day got interesting when viennas Dorian Concept rocked the stage and got wobbly with Bombsquad (listern here) who in my opinion played the best dubstep-set at sonar... and it got really interesting when Ryoichi Kurokawa (video) performed an eclectic audio/visual show using four laptops.

the third and last day was one of the electronic performers. The Raster Noton showcase, featuring SND, Byetone, Atom™ and especially Alva Noto, who performed using a gigantic audiovisual live patch(max msp or homebrew i guess), was nothing less than cutting edge (video1-interface / video2). Furthermore you should check the sound of Lukid, who kept the dub-heads knodding in the dome.

At night the Animal Collective turned the stage into a big playground and brought psychedelic overkill. Followed by Beardyman (video), whose very unique way of performing is worth watching. Props also to Sinden form the UK for bringing some oldskool jungle to the sonar night.

listen:
dorian concept - sonar set
debruit - sonar set
lukid - sonar set

peaceout
