Complex behaviors, whether in feedback systems, chaotic circuits, circular causality loops in cybernetics, and neural models have been explored by central protagonists of experimental music. The Society for Nontrivial Pursuits (Alberto de Campo, Hannes Hoelzl, and students, alumni and associates of the class Generative Art / Computational Art at UdK Berlin, and others) explores the possibility spaces of such systems for experimental performance: They adapt current developments like Rob Hordijk’s chaotic synthesizers (the Benjolin and the Blippoo box), Peter Blasser’s hybrid designs; they design, build and program their own performance systems based on a variety of sensors, analog electronics, and software synthesis and processing.

Yair Elazar Glotman – AD-LIB

+AD-LIB –  a solo journey, Exploring the different trails and approaches leading to music performing. walking the border lines between composed material and free form improvisation, between tonal harmony and abstract sounds.

Tobias Purfürst – foursquared

foursquared is is permanent development. Multilayered sound processes are created by programming conditions for their unfolding in time, and in performance, they are controlled from a pad controller, and at times left to their own random devices.

Society for Nontrivial Pursuits - NETZWERKMUSIK

Code-snippets that create algorithmic sound patterns are written live and run on several laptops; the sounds can jump between the laptops; every player gets all the codelets for responding to, extending, and rewriting them …  and unamplified laptops can be full-blown instruments!

Pierce Warnecke – Textures

Textures is a live audiovisual performance that uses found objects, field recordings and video samples. Each performance is unique in that the material is collected on spot, then re-composed in realtime. It is an exploration of granular surfaces, aged objects and deteriorated materials that have been collected because of their rich textures. Materials selected for the piece are man-made items that have undergone sufficient deterioration to no longer be recognizable. These decontextualized objects have lost any signified meaning, usefulness and identity: they are in fact ideally abstract. The object is re-contextualized within the performance, in an abstract narrative. It is paired with video and audio samples taken from the place the object was found. The result is an audiovisual study of the effect of time on matter: modification, deterioration and finally disappearance.

Sara Hildebrand Marques Lopes – Fidgety Blip

(Don´t play with food).not
For people creating lakes of mashed potatoes, shiplets from croquettes, splitting peas, separating side dishes, sorting out tomatoes, and keeping brussels sprouts in check pouches. A wobbly jello symphony as if from childhood days.

Karin Lustenberger – Biorhythms Rocking

What do K.L.s biorhythms from 2008-2012, random camera footage of room 111, field recordings of Kottbusser Tor, and coils sensing the fields of power supplies have in common? In this audiovisual performance you can find out.

BERLINJOLINEN-ORCHESTER

The Benjolin is a „bent by design“ analog synth circuit created by Rob Hordijk, which exhibits chaotic behavior in subtly influenceable shadings. The Society for Nontrivial Pursuits has built a pool of Benjolins to explore the possibilities for ensemble playing. The orchestra is extended with other idiosyncratic sound generators: the Cracklebox (designed by M. Waisvisz), and the Blippoo Box (designed by R. Hordijk)
