Basic Max/Msp Tutorials, around 60 in total. This guy seems to be a lecturer at some university in the states. Seems like a well made collection.

Sky Orchestra

Created by artist  Luke Jerram Sky Orchestra is an artwork designed to deliver music to sleeping people from out of the sky. A form of provocative urban art, Sky Orchestra questions the boundaries of public artwork, private space and the ownership of the sky.

The Sky Orchestra is made up of seven hot air balloons, each with speakers attached, which take off (at dawn or dusk) and fly across a city. Each balloon plays a different element of a musical score, creating a massive audio landscape.

The European Master of Arts in Sound (EMAS) will become the first European Joint Masters degree for Sound created by a consortium of European universities, film schools, art schools and arts organisations. Created by a consortium of European universities, film schools, art schools and arts organisations, the overall aim of the course is to produce practitioners to work in the creative industries, who are not only highly skilled but also individual, creative, critically aware, innovative and professional in their approach. By producing graduates with these attributes, EMAS will fulfil its objective to enable people who have something ‘to say’ to communicate effectively with their audience. Interesting.

Sound Matters considers the connections between craft practice and sound art. Seven contemporary works have been selected to illustrate ways in which these two distinct practices collide. Exploring the physicality of sound, the works are characterised by both their sonic properties and materiality

The makers and artists represented in this exhibition demonstrate how an engagement with sound also implicates an engagement with matter. Drawn from across creative disciplines, each work is indicative of a different approach: looking to traditional craft heritage and processes such as weaving and woodturning to create new sound forms, playing with shared technologies and language and revealing the sounds of materials.

With its equal emphasis on sound and form, Sound Matters offers a new and multi-sensory engagement with craft, with each work demanding to be heard as well as seen. With works of varying scale and volume, it is as important to listen as to look to fully experience the show.

Eoghan is a sound recordist who is returning to Ireland for the first time in 15 years, for a job capturing noises in areas free from man-made sound. His quest takes him to remote terrain, away from towns and villages. Throughout his journey, he is drawn into a series of encounters and conversations which gradually divert his attention towards a more intangible silence, bound up with the sounds of the life he had left behind. Influenced by elements of folklore and archive, Silence unfolds with a quiet intensity, where poetic images reveal an absorbing meditation on themes relating to sound and silence, history, memory and exile.

Robert Henke: finding the beauty within 

CCRMA visiting artist Robert Henke provides detailed insights into the artistic and technical aspects of his recent audiovisual works. Using his latest installation Fragile Territories as an example, he will talk about ideas, happy incidents, processes, compromises, logistics and collaboration. Henke will discuss the role of technology for his art and his self defined state as artist-engineer. He will also provide an outlook on his future plans and elaborate on how they are influenced by his previous works.

Zimoun has done it again. His installations seem to get bigger and bigger, and all based around the same principle: many small prepared dc-motors spinning endlessly like a flock of insects. This time in the form of 329 prepared dc-motors, cotton balls, toluene tank.  Description from everydaylistening.com

Cats meowing, gates creaking, the creature that lives in the attic scurrying - these sounds create The Sunken Hum.

The Sunken Hum is my daily sound diary project for 2013. For 365 days, I'll upload a two minute unaltered field recording or soundscape from my audio day to day.

Saving up for accommodation in London for whence I start my course there versus buying myself that Zoom H2N. Projects like these push me every time more slightly to the latter.

In The Field - International Symposium for Field Recording

A conference exploring the practice, craft and art of field recording and its recontextualising through different applications. A CRiSAP and British Library co-production, the conference celebrates early field

Downloadable recordings of the various discussions and whatnot from last February's Field Recording Symposium which I obviously didn't attend because I'm a broke Maltese peasant.

An innovation in architecture - to create soundscapes for public space - not music, but pure sound totally connected to the architectural environment, the space. To support the architects concept, to intensify the awareness of his creation.

INSIDE-OUT, a sound art performance by Andre Borges INSIDE-OUT brings the internal sounds of the human body to our ears. In a contemporary urban daily life, already covered by noisy soundscapes, we generally forget we sound. Nevertheless, such vibrations reflect the very meaning of life. In this live performance, I am exposing my body sounds to the audience.The audio signals picked up from my body go simultaneously to loudspeakers and to microcontrollers. My body sounds become audible. Furthermore, they become the power that drives motors.
