Amnesty International-E help raise awareness of human rights around the world
Message reçu par le SLLU aujourd'hui sur SL :
Contact Amnesty International-E group or the av - millay Freschi
Amnesty International-E is proud and honored to present our first of many projects in Second Life to help raise awareness of human rights around the world: We are going to produce a video in Second Life working with one of SL’s premiere machinima production companies (www.ariellafurman.com). Think “We Are the World” of avatars. We are asking any and all SL musicians and songwriters to submit an MP3 (details to follow) of your ORIGINAL song relative to human rights. Enter as many songs as are relative. The members of Amnesty International-E will vote on the song which will represent us. We hope that many, many musicians will want to participate in the performance of the song for the video which will be posted both in world and on the web. We are also working on coordinating a real life premiere. All of the details will follow on our blog relative to this project as they are more clearly defined. (http://ai-e.blogspot.com/).
Right now we’re looking at a January 31st, 2009 deadline for all music submissions. We will set up a site on 4shared where you can post your MP3’s. You’ll need to contact either Gamma Infinity, millay Freschi, or Elye Aya in world to get the posting information when you’re ready. After January 31st, AI-E group members will vote through the proposals in the group (we’ll ask LL to verify that there aren’t any alts set up for the voting) and the song will be announced on February 14th at a concert where we hope submitting artists will share their talents. At that time production will begin! We would LOVE for all musicians to take part in the production. The more voices that rise, the more awareness we raise.
We’re all very excited about this project and about bringing more awareness to Second Life’s fantastic musical talent, platform and, of course - always, to human rights.

Talking Nosense Over Mixed Realitys - english version
Wildo Hofmann mixing over Adam Ramona
16 october 10pm East of Odyssey
31 October 7pm East of Odyssey - from the Reality festival in Paris
In this purpose i will perform over Adam's installations a real time mixing and improvisation in conjunction with the moving of the avatars.
This will merge different kind of layers of realitys together.
Avatars will be equal in power of inter-activity as the composer and the installation.
I've choosen three installations from Adam's "Seventeen unsung songs " project.
#9 Corona
#11 The space beteween
#16 Blue sound ground
----------------------------------
Reality /1
mixing over Corona
With Corona, wich is a subbtle sonic install, the avatar is playing with pure noise, moving up and down and rotating, experiencing trough moving constant and renewed doppler effect.
Meanwhile i will play a modified audio stream comming from the German polar station Palaoa. This layer of sonic and compositionnal reality will be merged together with the avatar's one ...
Reality /2
mixing over The space beteween
In this case i will improvise with 8 layers of sounds over Adam's install - one more time the moving and the number of avatars moving through will affect the sounds and my improvisation ...
Avatar can also decide to mix the sound and the music level in his sound panel.
Reality /3
mixing over Blue sound ground
This case i invite the avatar to play a real cacophony together - let us make maximum noise - then try to be more in a question-response play together .
well ... ;-)
-------------------------------------
The three realitys go the same way round :
1) avatars will each time first explore the install
2) then go out of the install
3) i begin to play the avatars are jumping in
4) ...
Each reality will take more or less around 10' - 15'
------------------------------------
Adam is nominated to the Queensland’s National New Media Art Award
wich will take place the 31 October ...
So i cross my fingers we will pop up champagne on SL all together !!!

Seventeen unsung songs nominé aux Queensland’s National New Media Art Award

Adam Nash/ Adam Ramona est nominé cette année pour "Seventeen unsung songs" sur East of odyssey aux Queensland’s National New Media Art Award. Une très brillante distinction en Australie, avec à la clef un prix de pas moins de 75 000 dollars ... ;-)
Je croise les doigts pour Adam - et j'espère qu'on sablera le champagne sur SL le 31 octobre date à laquelle sera également performé "Talking Nosense Over Mixed Realitys" au festival Reality sur trois des installations qui composent "Seventeen unsung songs" !!!!

31 October 7pm East of Odyssey - from the Reality festival in Paris
Enfin, ça y est !
... ce projet était en cours depuis le début de l'année entre Adam Ramona et moi. Posé au coin d'un chat impromptu entre la France et l'Australie, l'idée était de croiser différentes couches de réalités sonores entre elles à partir du travail déjà effectué par Adam sur ses installations.
J'ai choisi trois installations d'Adam Ramona qui proviennent de son projet "seventeen unsung songs" sur East of Odyssey pour créer cette performance.
#9 Corona
#11 The space beteween
#16 Blue sound ground
mes interventions s'appelleront successivement reality #1 , reality #2 etc
L'idée est de croiser de façon interactive le pouvoir des avatars et l'improvisation musicale autour d'une installation ...
Nous allons donc tous jouer ensemble pendant cette performance. Et chaque avatar aura, de son point de vue - point de pointage dans l'espace SL - une expérience d'écoute unique.
Les actions Reality se dérouleront comme suit :
1) les avatars font connaissance avec l'installation d'Adam - on bouge à l'intérieur pour en capter les particularités.
2) tous les avatars sortent du champ
3) je commence a jouer
4) les avatars reviennent dans l'installation et on essaie de créer un dialogue - une interaction ...
5) ...
Grâce au tableau de bord son intégré dans SL chaque avatar va pouvoir "mixer" la performance ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reality /1
mixing over Corona
Ici je rajoute encore une couche supplémentaire de réalité, celle du streamcast en live de la station polaire Allemande de Palaoa. Ce stream est modifié en temps réel ou différé, ça dépendra de la qualité des connections le jour J ... en tout cas c'est une couche de réalité tangible qui viendra s'intercaler dans celles de l'installation et celle du jeu de sa modification ...
J'ai choisie la sonorité de ces fonds sous-marins car ils se marient parfaitement avec les tonalités de Corona.
durée approx de la performance : + /- 10'
Reality /2
mixing over The space beteween
Ici je joue véritablement en duo avec l'installation d'Adam avec 8 couches sonores que je mixerai en direct - l'avatar est invité a mixer subtilement la meta couche Adam et la meta couche Wildo en plus de ses déplacements dans l'espace "installation".
durée approx de la performance : + /- 10'
Reality /3
mixing over Blue sound ground
Ici je veux aller vers qq chose de complètement ludique - installer d'abord une cacophonie jouissive dans laquelle on se défoulera tous à fond - puis essayer de sortir qq chose de plus posé - faire de l'univers des sons bouclés un question/ réponse entre avatar et moi-même ...
durée approx de la performance : + /- 10'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Voilà, j'ai besoin au minimum de trois avatars pour faire tourner cette expérience.
Un premier concert perfo aura lieu le 16 Octobre sur East of Odyssey vers 22H
Par ailleurs il sera joué le 31 Octobre à 19h au festival Reality dont je vais parler également plus en détail dans un prochain billet ...
