Subject:
presentation of a pinball machine project
Hi all,
Tomorrow, there will be the first public showing of my pinball machine
project.
venue : Tent, CBK (visual arts center for Rotterdam)
adress: Witte de Withstraat 50
Rotterdam, Netherlands
time : 20:30 starting time
http://www.tentplaza.nl is their official site,
warning: this is a very artistic flash site (and not up to date) taking over
your entire screen.
The presentation is part of an evening with various Berlin Artists, and a
beerstube with bratwurst.
ABOUT:
A slightly modified and repainted pinball machine (a 1992 DataEast) is hooked
up to a computer running linux, effectively replacing the soundcard of the
pinball machine.
In this first presentation, the sounds are generated by csound and the
composition controlled by pd interpreting the many codes it receives from the
pinball machine in sometimes surprising ways.
A play costs a Euro, and for that price you get your very own interactive
concert of contemporary electronic music and a chance to win another round,
or to enter your initials or to play the fabulous multiball mode.
FUTURE:
I would like to invite other composers to write pieces for pinball machine.
Stay tuned for further announcements about this.
ciao
gerard
