Bitscapes by HFR Lab (Quayola)

Coding by W.Kosma

Sound by TOBOR EXPERIMENT

Description

Made on location in Western Australia, Bitscapes is a video installation intended to explore the concept of digital reproduction and manipulation. Through the combination of natural footage and computer-generated graphics, BitScapes aims to investigate the ambiguity of realism behind a digitally recorded image. As a result of the juxtaposition produced by the three adjacent screens, the HD source material is observed as it simultaneously shows and deconstructs its “photographic skin” to finally reveal the realistic illusion of a digital image.

Bitscapes has been specially commissioned by the Sheffield based digital arts organization Lovebytes and marks the first anniversary of 'Lovebytes at Millennium Galleries' - a permanent plasma screen gallery curated by Lovebytes with the Sheffield Galleries Trust.

TECH STUFF DVD (isbn edizioni + QOOB/MTV)

Written and directed by TOBOR EXPERIMENT

Description

Originally featured on Italian social network QOOB.TV as a serie of short documentaryes, Tech Stuff collates all ten episodes on this DVD release. Presented with a wit that occasionally borders on Look Around You territory, Tech Stuff examines cult electronic equipment, the territory of generative music, IRCAM’s electronic music research and a whole lot more. The music itself is an unusual beast, its history more so, with tales of sex changes, KGB and the edibility of viny all uncovered.

While these documentaryes are unfinchligly fascinating, the remainder of the package is similarly rewarding.

The DVD adds an extensive (and exclusive) interview with electronic pioneer Karlheinz Stockhausen and also contains a simple

PC/MAC tool to make your own electronic music.

The already impressive package is housed in a flashy hardback book rammed with additional info and is available in a joint English/Italian language set from online stores including www.ibs.it

TOBOR EXPERIMENT DISCO EXPERIENCE: DISCO MOOG EP (Bearfunk, uk)

Every now and then we get some music sent to us at Bear towers that makes the whole office stand still and say "what the *%£k is this?" We had that feeling when the first Lindstrom's came in or the Diaphanoids beautiful sounds and now we have that lovely feeling again with the music of Giorgio Sancristoforo aka Tobor Disco Experience.
Like the whole bear team Giorgio can't seem to move on from the 70's. Obsessed with the instruments of Bob Moog, Vocoders, Alan Parsons and the cult sci-fi series Space 1999 he was obviously born in the wrong decade.
Disco Moog has already been used on the rools for rules compilation earlier this year and had many beards twitching at the thought of not having this on vinyl, Shooting star is a more up-tempo affair with blissful chords, slap bass, disco handclaps and Gio's trademark vocoder. I feel loved is a personal favourite of Stevie Kotey with anthem written all over it. This awesome clavinet workout has such a good vibe about it you can't help feeling nothing but loved. It could easy be mistaken for Alan Hawkshaw super rare Bruton library track. GammaGamma is an obvious nod to the great Alan Parsons' Mamma Gamma'. Gio makes his own interpretation though and once again he uses the vocoder in such a beautiful way that you want more.

CLOUD by TROIKA DESIGN

Music by TOBOR EXPERIMENT

Description

CLOUD, a Digital Sculpture For British Airways Terminal 5

Troika was commissioned by Artwise Curators to create a signature piece for the entrance of the new British Airways luxury lounges in Heathrow Terminal 5.

In response, we created 'Cloud', a five meter long digital sculpture whose surface is covered with 4638 flip-dots that can be individually
addressed by a computer to animate the entire skin of the sculpture. Flip-dots were conventionally used in the 70s and 80s to create signs in train-stations and airports. By audibly flipping between black and silver, the flip-dots create mesmerizing waves as they chase across the surface of ‘Cloud’. Reflecting its surrounding colours, the mechanical mass is transformed into an organic form that appears to come alive, shimmering and flirting with the onlookers that pass by.
