CALLS FOR ROTTERDAM media art students, sound artists and other interested people to join a ROTTERDAM TRAMJAM SESSION.
PD workshop Rotterdam: November 9-11 Scheduled performance: November 12 rushhour (15:00 - 19:00) Performance location : TBD Netstreaming: V2 stream.
TRAMJAM - ROTTERDAM RUSHHOUR is a networked streaming audio performance. The live performance is scheduled as a public event with netstreaming and local radio broadcast for V2/DEAF04's "Affetive Turbulence: The Art of Open Systems" this November in Rotterdam.
TRAMJAM - ROTTERDAM RUSHHOUR is initiated by Mumbai Streaming Attack, a networked performance study group currently based at SNM/HGKZ (http://www.snm-hgkz.ch/) in Zurich.The group first performed TRAMJAM-ZURICH RUSHHOUR for broadcast at reboot.fm, Berlin in February 2004 and TRAMJAM-Vienna Rushhour for the FreeBitflows conference in Vienna in June 2004. The group aims to continue its tramjam rushhour performance in major European cities where urban tramlines still exist.
For the Rotterdam tramjam performance, Mumbai Streaming Attack invites local Rotterdam media students, sound artists and any other interested people for a joint multi-track-multi-driver tramjam session that follows the routing and rushhour tram schedule of Rotterdam's 9 tramlines. Each sound artist can choose a tramline and design sound materials that characterize that particular tram routing. The sound materials can be collected or composed sound, pre-recorded for collective replay. TRAMJAM-Rotterdam Rushhour further explore mobile interface of the Rotterdam tramvibe by inviting on site/on tram live sound upload through mobile devices. The performance set for a public space will also invite public participation via mobilephones on trams or microphones/walkie talkie on site.
TRAMJAM is programmed with PD (pure data), an open source software, a multi-platform realtime performance processor. For our open call performance in Rotterdam, we will hold PD workshops for installing tramjam PD programming for each participant.
TRAMJAM-ROTTERDAM is a V2-DEAF2004 project Supported by Media Design Research, Piet Zwart Institute, Willem de Kooning Academy Hogeschool Rotterdam (http://pzwart.wdka.hro.nl/) And New Media Studies, Hochschule fur Gestaltung und Kunst Zurich.
