Weaponized Episode 2: Aftermath

  

The dust-devils recede and the silence booms with the voices of those who have left. All is undone but those actions that can never be undone. You are left in the aftermath, the pieces falling are grains too small to pick up. The only way out is through.

Noise Control

 

FP recommends a visit to 'Noise Control'

30th November-6th December

Symposium: Saturday 5th December 6pm-9pm

IMT Gallery

Unit 2/210, 

Cambridge Heath Road,

London, 

E2 9NQ

An exhibition of new works by eight sound artists, Noise control addresses the manner in which we deal with the subtle balance between different concepts of noise and how it undergoes transformation in the arts.

There exist vastly differing interpretations of what constitutes 'noise' and the exhibition demonstrates how the artistic control of noise lays at the very heart or artistic practices, whether they be music, installation, film or performance. Noise Control presents work by Antoine Bertin, Haris Custovic, Karl Gibson, Victoria Karlsson, Matthias Kassmannhuber, Zuzana Novak, Alex Paschali and Marco Shilling.

Some of the artists in the exhibition use noise as the medium to reveal sonic properties: Custovic’s video work examining the facial expressions in reaction to unfamiliar sounds, or Schilling’s shaping of background noise to explore the boundaries where noise and music overlap. Karlsson addresses the transformation of sounds to and from language, and how the inconsistent nature of verbal communication incorporates shifts of meaning and interpretation that oscillate between signification and noise.

Other works show how noise can be shaped by our environment. Kassmannhuber’s site-specific installation demonstrates how audio feedback can be controlled through the manipulation of its trajectory through space, whilst Paschali explores the near-mythologising of the notion of resonant frequencies and Bertin’s sonic “explorations” document sounds from spaces just outside of our reach.

Other artists deal with more socio-cultural definitions of noise. Novak explores the voices of London’s homeless population, her work revealing how these voices, overlooked or ignored by mainstream society, occupy and shape our concepts of social space. Gibson is concerned with the origins of the customs and traditions of Hip-Hop and whether they have been misappropriated as Hip-Hop culture is absorbed into the mainstream.

Noise Control is curated by Joel Cahen and Mark Jackson, IMT’s project co-ordinator. Cahen practices in sound, video and improvisation. He creates sound for films and dance productions and plays on a weekly radio show on Resonance FM called Soundsoup. Together with sound artist Wajid Yaseen of Uniform, Cahen created Scrap Club, a public destructivist activity. In 2008 Cahen created the touring underwater sound art gallery Wet Sounds.

Noise Control is an exhibition and symposium presenting the final work of eight MA Sound Arts graduates of London College of Communication. The groundbreaking work in the exhibition demonstrated the high level of critical debate in sonic disciplines fostered by the university’s Department of Sound Art and Design since 1998.

The GSpot: Rachel Haywire

Joseph Matheny in conversation with Rachel Haywireabout the good old BBS days, music, art and all sorts of goodies.  Since this is a special holiday show, they just talked and talked and talked, with no fascist concepts of clocks or calendars. Chaos Never Died!

Rachel Haywire is a reality terrorist from the metaphysical gutters of post-apocalyptic hell.

The Abattoir Pages - Tickets Now On Sale

Guerrilla Zoo and FoolishPeople present The Abattoir Pages, an immersive Halloween event, hosted in a vast, secret subterranean landscape that was once one of London's largest abattoirs. 

The Abattoir Pages combines immersive performance, art installation, haunting and treasure hunt-style activity to form a labyrinth of mystery and horror, exposing the earliest Gaelic and Pagan rites. Once inside, audience members will be free to explore the abandoned underground chambers, join the secret party or may be caught in the middle of the most terrifying of puzzles. 

This Hallowe’en, the infamous horror author Helen Mayer will hold court at a debauched secret party. She will share the perverse and warped research conducted inside the old abandoned abattoir, which was the genesis of her greatest work. In this dark playground, the very nature of human terror has been tested, abused and fed into the living story 'The Forest'. 

The author invites you to solve the puzzle and unlock the terrifying history within the old and powerful pages hidden throughout the slaughterhouse. Each holds a key to learning the truth of an ancient tale, which will ensure your survival. 

Tonight, a debt will be repaid to blood dishonoured. An eternal nightmare rises up from the depths of the dark boreal forest, in the shadow of the mountain. It comes to feed on new meat inside an old abattoir.

kkoagukkastt Aurum Nostrum 3.33 water

Water

A cold and wet feeling, darkness and thickness and motion, purifier rituals to cleanse, symbol of purification. Phlegm, liquid, apparent timorous types with a capacity to overwhelm and engulf. Waterborne diseases and the absence of sanitary domestic water are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Less than 1% of the world's fresh water (or about 0.007% of all water on earth) is readily accessible for direct human use. From the western point of the compass comes winter and cold, darkness, night and the colour black

The cup runneth over, Undines gain souls through union with men, who find control of breathing is lost. The flight of the eagle starts from the upper right point of the pentagram.

About kkoagulaa

A convergence of creative paths crossed in the final days of Manes, pointing to the inevitability of the birth of kkoagulaa. The projects inception is an answer to the restrictions placed upon bands of any genre. When it comes to stretching out beyond genre considerations, kkoagulaa represents what happens when the walls between modes of expression are forgotten. Central visionary ccernn, began with gathering the kkoagulaa kkollektivv of likeminded creative people: eemersonn (Choronzon, Veil of Thorns) and vvindd (Atrox). The next layer to be added around the kkollektivv is the kkontributorr kkaball consisting of hatlen, hoemsnes (The 3rd and the Mortal), trstn (Chton).

The mission of kkoagulaa is to work in an expanded range of media and even to step outside conventions of what constitutes avant-garde art and music. The art of kkoagulaa is the embodiment of art called into question, and the answer. Brought into focus through a heaping of phases of history, kkoagulaa is the deconstruction of art and a distillation of the soul found at the creative center. As the canon of rock music and prevailing sub-genres crushes the possibility of revelation, and certainly any pretense of revolution, the ubiquitous elements of the medium are examined.

Emerging from a history of leading and defining genres and movements like Avant-Garde Metal, Post-Blackmetal, Psychedelic Industrial Blackmetal and Post-Rock, kkoagulaa has truly moved beyond genre, genre hybrids and the now common game of the mix-and-match patchnwork approach so often called progressive or avant-garde.

Terra:Extremitas- Sonica Storm

Born in Sweden, Victoria Karlsson graduated from Central Saint Martin with a BA (Hons) in Arts & Design in 2005. Victoria has worked as a Sound Designer for several live art events, including FoolishPeople's performance of Dead Language at the ICA and Desecration, a performance over 5 levels in the Galleries of Justice, Nottingham while also pursuing her own work. Although constantly exploring different approaches to sound art and design, Victoria finds working with live performance / art extremely challenging and rewarding. She met FoolishPeople when she collaborated with them on their first Meta Event 'Terra Incognita' in March 2007 and has since become a valued member and one of their main performers.

Sonica Storm will be creating and designing WraithLand within Terra: Extremitas.

About Vicky's work:

"Working somewhere between music and sound art, I'm interested in the emotional properties of everyday sounds, music and noise, and also in what happens when things are taken out of context, to be put into one another, or to stand on their own."
