Synthesis
Ryoichi Kurokawa, Toshimaru Nakamura & Billy Roisz, Sachiko M with Benedict Drew

Monday 28 May 2007, 21.00–23.00

Sachiko M with Benedict Drew
AVVA - Toshimaru Nakamura and Billy Roisz
Ryoichi Kurokawa

Presenting live audio-visual performances from Japan, Austria and the UK, this programme highlights artists who are exploring the use of feedback, decay, assemblage and kinetics. Central to the notion of synthesis, are artistic practices that make use of electronic, analogue and self-built instruments; tools, techniques and software for the real-time creation, improvisation and manipulation of both sound and image.

While the avant-garde movements of the modern period idealized the machine, mechanical dysfunction is now often a focus of artistic interest. In contemporary practices such as audio-visual performance and electronic music, this strategy often involves a focus on the mechanical, electronic and material qualities of the instruments themselves, as well as the re-processing and transfer of the signals they produce.

From pure sine wave to thumping sub bass this will be a sublime and immersive one-off opportunity to experience some pretty extreme electronics and visuals, in the extraordinary industrial architecture of Tate Modern's Turbine Hall. A 10 metre wide screen, an awesome sound system, cushions on the floor and an open bar. Immensely powerful, rhythmic and penetrating, this programme, in this context, will not be repeated. Book your tickets now, and don't forget your earplugs!

Sachiko M with Benedict Drew

Both accomplished improvisers, Sachiko M and Benedict Drew will punctuate the evening with precise, uncluttered simplicity. This performance presents the premier of a specially commissioned, new work, an open-ended improvisational strategy that seeks to amplify the stark industrial environment of Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall. The collaborative work makes visible the process of live interaction involving the real-time shaping of time-based sculptural elements. The collaboration will present a non-cinematic, audio-visual score involving kinetic imagery and pure sine wave. Benedict Drew presents a lucid visual field of magnified objects. Sachiko M’s muted soundscape, at times penetrating and at other times, virtually subsonic, forms a concentration of tones and frequencies that dialogue with Drew’s visual elements.

AVVA

For their performance at Tate Modern, AVVA will be performing a live improvisation, under the title of Nemu. AVVA is the duo of Toshimaru Nakamura and Billy Roisz, AVVA stands for "Audio Video/Video Audio", referring to the working method of the duo. Nakamura produces music using the internal feedback from his no-input mixing board; its musical inner workings exposed and stripped bare by recursive feedback loops. This is input into Roisz's video mixer becoming a source for its generated imagery. The result is colourful and shimmering. Between reduced sound and an extensively emptied picture, between a skeletal rhythm and a matrix of video lines. Nakamura's thumping feedback and clicking pulses infect the entire structure of the image, trembling and reflective. The image flickers and hums in response to high-frequency microtones forming continuous interwoven patterns.

Ryoichi Kurokawa

Three dimensional pixel sculptures are the result of Ryoichi Kurokawa’s audio-visual synthesis. Kurokawa destructs and reconstructs architectonic and organic abstractions with precision, coercing a complete surrendering of the senses. A minimal, yet chaotic conflux of visual and auditory perception merges into an experience of memory and ambiguity where virtual and actual images are no longer distinguishable. Kurokawa uses what he calls an “audiovisual organ” to compose spatial-time sculptures out of digitally generated material, formed from analogue field recordings. Abstract sound and imagery are perfectly synchronized, asserting a form of glitch minimalism re-assembled into complex and highly rhythmic audio-visual landscapes. Kurokawa accepts sound and imagery as a single unit, constructing precise and exquisite computer-based works that demonstrate a unique audio-visual language.

Diamond Age

2007-05-20T23:16:00.001+01:00

Diamonds tell tale of comet that killed off the cavemenFireballs set half the planet ablaze, wiping out the mammoth and America's Stone Age huntersRobin McKie, science editorSunday May 20, 2007The ObserverScientists will outline dramatic evidence this week that suggests a comet exploded over the Earth nearly 13,000 years ago, creating a hail of fireballs that set fire to most of the northern hemisphere.Primitive Stone Age cultures were destroyed and populations of mammoths and other large land animals, such as the mastodon, were wiped out. The blast also caused a major bout of climatic cooling that lasted 1,000 years and seriously disrupted the development of the early human civilisations that were emerging in Europe and Asia.Article continues'This comet set off a shock wave that changed Earth profoundly,' said Arizona geophysicist Allen West. 'It was about 2km-3km in diameter and broke up just before impact, setting off a series of explosions, each the equivalent of an atomic bomb blast. The result would have been hell on Earth. Most of the northern hemisphere would have been left on fire.'The theory is to be outlined at the American Geophysical Union meeting in Acapulco, Mexico. A group of US scientists that include West will report that they have found a layer of microscopic diamonds at 26 different sites in Europe, Canada and America. These are the remains of a giant carbon-rich comet that crashed in pieces on our planet 12,900 years ago, they say. The huge pressures and heat triggered by the fragments crashing to Earth turned the comet's carbon into diamond dust. 'The shock waves and the heat would have been tremendous,' said West. 'It would have set fire to animals' fur and to the clothing worn by men and women. The searing heat would have also set fire to the grasslands of the northern hemisphere. Great grazing animals like the mammoth that had survived the original blast would later have died in their thousands from starvation. Only animals, including humans, that had a wide range of food would have survived the aftermath.'The scientists point out that archaeological evidence shows that early Stone Age cultures clearly suffered serious setbacks at this time. In particular, American Stone Age hunters, descendants of the hunter-gatherers who had migrated to the continent from Asia, vanished around this time.These people were some of the fiercest hunters on Earth, men and women who made magnificent stone spearheads which they used to hunt animals including the mammoth. Their disappearance at this time has been a cause of intense debate, with climate change being put forward as a key explanation. Now there is a new idea: the first Americans were killed by a comet.It was not just America that bore the brunt of the comet crash. At this time, the Earth was emerging from the last Ice Age. The climate was slowly warming, though extensive ice fields still covered higher latitudes. The disintegrating comet would have plunged into these ice sheets, causing widespread melting. These waters would have poured into the Atlantic, disrupting its currents, including the Gulf stream. The long-term effect was a 1,000-year cold spell that hit Europe and Asia.The comet theory, backed by observational evidence collected by the team, has excited considerable attention from other researchers, following publication of an outline report of the work in Nature'The magnitude of this discovery is so important,' team member James Kennett, of the University of California, Santa Barbara, told the journal. 'It explains three of the highest-debated controversies of recent decades.'These are the sudden disappearance of the first Stone Age people of America, the disappearance of mammoths throughout much of Europe and America and the sudden cooling of the planet, an event known as the Younger-Dryas period. Various theories have been put forward to explain these occurrences, but now scientists believe they have found a common cause in a comet crash. However, the idea is still controversial and the theory is bedevilled by problems in obtaining accurate dates for the different events.'We still have a long way to go,' admitted West. 'But we have a great deal of evidence, from many sites, so this is quite a powerful case that we are making.'
