Hey folks,
Well, we have had a fantastic year with OUTPOST and would love you to come down and celebrate the final event for 2008 at Horse Bazaar.
Entry is free and it cranks up at 8:30p.m.
We are also very excited to have Kelly Ryal & Matt Gingold as our final feature performers for the year.
Having worked together in the past on theater productions, Kelly & Matt will be premiering their audio visual performance collaboration at Outpost this Wednesday.
Kelly will be showing off new sounds and music developed during a hectic year of non-stop audio production, and Matt will be using new software developed in open frameworks to play HD video and stills made during his recent travels to Thailand, Singapore and Japan.
Hot.
Super Hot..
There will be lots of opportunity for everyone to get their jam on and as always, new players/projectors are most welcome so tell your friends and..
Bring your gear and have no fear!
We had an awesome time at Netlag last Thursday.
Big ups to Jean Poole and Dave for lining it up and ironing out the live streaming kinks. Awesome also to meet and have VJ Sustenance throw down with us.
As part of the Melbourne Digital Fringe (24 Sep - Oct 12), we are teaming up with the PlugNPlay crew to do a netcast gig on Thursday October 9th from Horse Bazaar.
For the netcast we’ll be using the free Mogulus software. The event will link up with other performances around Australia and overseas as part of this special Digital Fringe event.
You can either watch this event from the comfort of your preferred browser, or come on down to Horse Bazaar around 8pm on the 9th October to be a part of it.
Participants in this event are also uploading audio content for remixing in any way they see fit. We have started uploading some audio to the A.B.C.’s new collaborative on-line project Pool. Head over to our page where you can download the material to use freely under a Creative Commons license. There is more material to come and we are tagging it melb2008digitalfringe. Enter this as a search term to find any material that has been uploaded for the event.
Spring is certainly shaping up to be very busy for the OUTPOST crew. We are travelling up to Newcastle to run an open jam for Electrofringe 2008.
Times and dates as follows:
Friday 3rd October from 6pm
Saturday 4th October from 6pm
Sunday 5th October (closing night party) from 10pm until late
Hope to see as many of you there for this a/v love in!
As part of the 2008 Darebin Music Feast, OUTPOST perform over three evenings at La Trobe University Art Museum from the 17th - 19th September.
This performance/workshop is free and will run for 7 til 8:30 pm.
In this workshop OUTPOST will take the exhibition Neomorphics (Neugemüse), by local visual artist Vera Möller, and use her work as a stimulus to create new audio and visual work projected on to the walls of the gallery.
Vera Möller’s art explores the region where the real meets the imagined and the constructed encounters the natural. Delving into her knowledge gained through her studies as a biologist, her work contemplates life forms yet to be identified or discovered. Möller considers specimens that might evolve naturally in the future, and reflects on organisms that could possibly be created with the aid of biotechnology. Neomorphics (Neugemüse) includes a selection of collages, watercolours and sculptures, many shown for the first time, inviting us into a special world of wonder, amazement and study.
Participants are invited to bring their own video footage, mp3 players, synthesisers, samplers and any other noise/video making device. Those without their own gear are welcome to come along and join in the experience. Come down for a tasty live audio visual jam looks, sounds, and share a drink and a chat about the hardware and software used in the performance.

Get down to Horse Bazaar this Wednesday the 27th of August for OUTPOST,
Jean Poole hearts real-time cinema. This generally means all at the same space-time, mixes and matches of the following :
soundscapes, messy motion graphics, modular lo-fi animations, pop culture sound-and-vision bites, self-made short film and music video snippets, amateur pixel hypnotism, drones you have known and loved, and often a sense of not knowing whether the computer has crashed or not.
As always the jams are on so…
bring your gear and have no fear!
