GIGO: words unreadable aloud

Woodstockhausen

Got an invite from Veronique today ... see the official Woodstockhausen site for the official word.

Many of you know the Woodstockhausen festival since Wayne Jackson started it in 1998. Well, the 2002 version is coming this Saturday! This year, we open the day with a workshop on graphical synthesis of sounds. All this on UCSC campus, and with the team you've known from the ELectron SAlon's concerts among which Jean-Marc and AlanP (and many more).

I hope to see you there!

August 17, 2002 - U.C. Santa Cruz

An annual event since 1998, Woodstockhausen (WSH) features both local and visiting artists in a night of free sound and visual experimentation. Fueled by the ELectron SAlon concert series and the volunteer effort of enthusiastic individuals, WSH2002 invades UCSC's quarry and opens with a 1-day workshop investigating new tools for music composition and interpretation. Scientists, composers, musicians and home-brew software developers will gather during the day at the G.U.I Workshop ("Gesturing the UPIC Instrument") to exchange ideas and brainstorm on UPIX, a freeware application that "makes sounds out of drawings" (and much more...). This workshop will be hosted by Peter Elsea, head of UCSC's Electronic Music Studios. At sunset, the crowd is invited to move to the open-air concert in the quarry. Bring your blanket and food to relax and enjoy video animations synchronized to live and recorded quadraphonic music by selected artists from all over the States and all over the world. Genres range from gamelan to computer compositions with a common theme: unusual, experimental, and innovative. Thanks to our sponsors: UCSC, BBI, Cycling'74, the Rio Theatre, and La Kitchen (Paris).

G.U.I workshop takes place at UCSC's recital hall, from 9.30AM to 6.00PM. Registration at http://www.elsaproductions.com/gui.html ($10, lunch is included).
Sound sculptures and installations are presented from 7PM to 8PM at UCSC quarry amphitheater.
WSH2002 concert goes from 8PM to 1AM at UCSC quarry amphitheater. Bring your own picnic, food and lawn furniture! $10 suggested donation. More information at http://www.elsaproductions.com/woodstockhausen.html
