Photo by Andres Serrano, part of the recent “Shit” exhibition at the Yvon Lambert Gallery (New York, September 4 – October 4, 2008).
p.s.: Serrano is also the author of Piss Christ (you can read more about it here, here and here). Regarding the “Shit” exhibition, here is a related post (in Romanian).
So, what do you imagine when you listen to this?
We are (as usual) greatful to Bunji Hisamori for allowing us to post an audio rendering of his midi file on our blog. The file was downloaded from The Classical Music Archives.
You can find the other “concerts” from this series here.
Isi mai aduce aminte cineva de postul asta? Tocmai ne intrebam, zilele astea, ce am mai putea face cu scanerul, cand ne-am adus aminte de el. Si de alte chestii (am mai avut la un moment dat niste idei, am taiat fotografii, am aranjat fragmentele, le-am scanat s.a.m.d.)
Asa ca ne-am hotarat sa nu renuntam la scaner si sa inventam o noua arta. Cel mai plauzibil nume pentru ea era “Scanner Art”. Long story short, dupa aia am vazut ca exista asa ceva. Exista si leading figures in scanner art, cum ar fi Marsha Tudor, si site-uri dedicate, si reactii pe bloguri si multe altele.
Dar intrucat Gramo nu tine la originalitate cu orice pret, iar ideea chiar ni s-a parut misto, ne-am hotarat sa facem cateva experimente. Cand o sa fim multumiti de rezultate, vi le aratam. Cine stie, poate o sa prinda si asta, asa cum a prins si ideea cu photowalking-ul.
Pentru premiul de la FDR. Nu ca ar fi fost nevoie de vreun premiu ca sa ne prindem ca Radu Afrim rules. 🙂
LE: Cititi si chestia asta de la Lorena.
Le-am gasit in catalogul unei galerii de arta din Franta. Expozitia a avut loc in 1979, iar seria asta s-a chemat Le sablier:
Perhaps you are wondering why we are using midi files instead of “real” interpretations of Beethoven’s piano sonatas. Well, we think that for a first audition (especially if you don’t listen much to classical music) these midi versions, apart from being of very good quality, have a particular advantage.
That is, they are, of course, interpretations of the scores, but the interpretation does not come first, so you may focus on the musical structures better. And here is the fourth sonata:
Again, we are greatful to Bunji Hisamori for allowing us to post an audio rendering of his midi file on our blog. The file was downloaded from The Classical Music Archives, the other details on how we’ve produced the mp3 can be found here.
p.s.: We’ve created a separate page for this series, you can find it here.
Pare interesant (am aflat de festival pe Twitter, de la Arhitectul):
At the end of the second part you’ll hear a theme from Queen’s Bohemian Rapsody. Don’t freak out, it might be a coincidence. 🙂
This “concert” was posible due to Bunji Hisamori, the author of the midi version of Beethoven’s sonata.
Technical details: The midi file was downloaded from The Classical Music Archives. We’ve used the Steinway model C grand piano soundfont and FluidSynth to render the midi file. Jack was the audioserver and the output was recorded with TimeMachine, edited with Audacity and converted to mp3 with Lame.
Read this if you want to know what poetry slam is. After that you might want to watch these clips (we suppose you understand French): 1, 2, 3. And only after you watch some poetry slam in action you should check out it’s latest deviation – science slam:
The idea for this post came to us from Razvan’s last post.
