MINI-WORKSHOP circuitbending
Arciragazzi – Creative Media Lab, Premstallerhof
Via Dolomiti 14, Bolzano
Sabato 11 Febbraio 2012 dalle ore 15 alle 19
Massimo 10 persone | termine iscrizioni: 15 gennaio 2012, informaci il prima possibile se vuoi parteciapre!
Cos’è? Il circuitbending è una disciplina in cui si smontano, rimontano e modificano circuiti elettronici esistenti per modificare il funzionamento di un gioco o strumento creando suoni nuovi e inaspettati. La cosa bella è che non serve capire niente di elettronica!
Cosa serve? Recuperate qualche vecchia tastiera giocattolo CASIO, un grillo parlante, o una pedalina per chitarra. L’importante è che siano circuiti analogici (non digitali) preferibilmente non troppo recenti (le cose degli anni 80 sono le migliori!). Evitare tutto quello che necessita di essere collegato con la presa della corrente. Inoltre, chi ha un saldatore, componenti (resistenze, condensatori, potenziometri ecc.), attrezzi, li porti!
Chi è il relatore? Questo è più un hackerspace che non un corso, ci troviamo per fare dei progetti assieme e si impara tutti da tutti. Organizzatori sono Hannes Pasqualini e Michele Cagol
Quanto costa? Il corso non costa nulla, faremo però una colletta per comprare il materiale
A fine serata ci possiamo divertire a fare un po’ di jam session (il mixer e l’impianto ce l’abbiamo)
I am very proud to announce the release of Joyless Pleasure Remixed. Haujobb, Frank Kvitta, Phil J, Tomas Tulpe, Millimetric, Cute Heels, Acrosome, Rumpelfilter, Steinkind, Miss Duckin, Miro Pajic, Humandroid, Raytrace, Mac Vaughn, People Theatre, Johann Afterglow, Dom Dumoulin, Angst and Stamba have all created remixes. Everyone did a fantastic job. It’s available today on iTunes, Amazon and the Andtroid Marketplace. Next week it will be available on Beatport. So do tell me which mixes you like the best. The best way to support Wire to the Ear is to buy some of my music and/or click over to the places this release is for sale and give it a nice review and rating. I wish I could still fit into that grey suit and orange turtleneck.
Just in time for Christmas I’ve opened a shop on Artflakes! Check it out, maybe you’ll find something. They have different options, from canvas print to cheap greeting cards!
It’s now finally available! Filadressa #7, a yearly publication by Edition Raetia about tyrolean literature, features one of my short “parasite comic” titled Space Schützen. This comic is a collection of narrative and visual fragments about a dystopian future where the province of South Tyrol (where I live) has become a multinational corporation that comquers alien planets to turns them into alpine holiday destinations for tourists.
I’ve recently been interviewed by the local radio station Rai Sender Bozen. The interview was mainly about circuit bending and my recent EP release It’s the End, but I’ve talked about my comic projects as well.
The interview is completely in German (dialect) so skip ahead if you’re not fluent in this language.
Some illustrations I’ve made for the French magazine l’Optimum. I’ve actually made these some months ago, but I noticed only now that I had never posted them here…
I recently created this illustration for the Magazine Accademia , run by the scientific research institute European Academy of Bolzano - Eurac. The illustration clearly references to the style of old woodprints, which is something I find incredibly interesting, and which I’d love to investigate further.
