Peter Knight performance @ June OUTPOST

A relatively quiet night down at Bar Open last night, but an exemplary set from Peter Knight - aka Allotrope. Peter gave a fine performance in which he captured a plethora of sounds (all generated from his horn) and intertwined tasteful live processing with some on the fly arranging to create some spontaneous work that spanned from microscopic sounds of the human vessel to lush cinematic textures. Another fine example of the fine musicianship of one Peter Knight.

OUTPOST V-tar action @ Bar Open 27/05/09

The monthly audio-video jam session/love in that is OUTPOST is on from 8:30pm Wednesday 27th of May at Bar Open.

Be sure to bring your devices down for a play or just bring yourselves for a tech perve and a tasty beverage.

Straight outta Adelaide, we are delighted to have a feature slot from v-tar wielding video and sound artist Lynne Sanderson (VJ Sustenance), who came and jammed with the OUTPOST/Plug’n'Play collectives for last years Digital Fringe webcast on mogulus.

Based in Adelaide, Lynne has been entertaining clubbers with her original style of layered visuals since 1992. From small to large shows, some of the highlights have included Dave Clarke and Aphex Twin. She has also crossed over to corporate shows such as the launch of the Adelaide Film Festival 2005 and was resident at the Adelaide Festival’s Persian Garden 2006/08. Lynne’s obsession with more fluid performative control led her to create the v-tar, a visual controller in the shape of a flying v guitar.

Over the years, Lynne also has led a parallel life as a media artist. Her artworks are interactive and involve the participation of the public. She has exhibited extensively including MTV Australia, the Museum of Modern Art NYC, ISEA95 Montreal, Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art, Sydney Opera House, Biennale of Electronic Art Perth (BEAP) and the New Forms Festival, Vancouver, Canada.

After many years of collaborations and conversations with musicians, Lynne has decided to try her hand at creating audio. Over the last month Lynne has been creating dark, minimal beats using a Nintendo DS.

For her show at Share Outpost she will be triggering aspects of both the audio and visual on the v-tar. Lynne is experimenting with the live implementation and performance of these mediums. She is exploring the process of what is it to create sound from a visual perspective. This is her AV debut and a work in progress.

The Jams are on as always, new players/projectors/purveyors are most welcome so tell your friends and..

See you Wednesday the 27th..

OUTPOST Relaunch @ Bar Open Wednesday March 25th

Greetings OUTPOST friends,

the relaunch of OUTPOST at our new awesome venue Bar Open is almost upon us and we’re making it a cracker.
Get yourselves down to 317 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy on Wednesday March 25th from 8:30pm - entry is free and beverages are very reasonably priced.

For this month’s event, we are thrilled to have Jean Poole and Lewis CanCut performing a warm up set for their upcoming TV-inspired ACMI Synaesthesia show.

Jean Poole, aka Sean Healy, is concerned with real time audio visual performance. A founder of Newcastle’s Electrofringe
Festival, Jean Poole is regular contributor to the event’s annual program and travels Australia (and Europe) performing at
major events and festivals.

Providing the music to Jean Poole’s visuals is Lewis CanCut, aka Lewis Gittus, a young DJ hailing from regional Victoria with a
love of vinyl. His current work examines elements of club culture such as appropriation and repetition, bound together by
dense layers of stolen sound that threaten at any moment to self implode!

Stalwart of Melbourne downtempo sweetness, Thomas Campbell (aka. Soup from MISO) is also performing a solo slot which will be sure to satisfy like a good meal.

The jams are also absolutely on so be sure to come down and bring your devices for the a/v key party..

As always, new players/projectors are most welcome so tell your friends and..
Bring your gear and have no fear!

See you Wednesday the 25th..
