I performed the first outcome of my new piece Catatonic State Society at Upgrade!International, Chain Reaction.
I'm building simulations with software agents to perform with, primitive as they are, a bit like populating the city models I'm looking into and what I hope will soon also be part of the Shifting Metropolis Workshop.
This little text describes it:
In the Catatonic State Society, all members live in a state of reduced consciousness. Saccading their heads on spastic pulses or just in plain inertia, they seem indifferent to perception. These rythmical units do interact however, they behave in surprising ways towards one
another. They move in and out of sync, form complex superstructures to shift from texture to crystalline structures, rythmic pulses and back again.
But better yet, and slightly more down to earth, this is what it sounds like: CatatonicStateSociety.
A bit rough, especialy playing outside, but great fun too.
Also had a great impro-session with Skopje electronic musician Alexander Nikov and played on alternative Channel 103.
In short, it was great : )
