Hi,
For those of you living in the Amsterdam area, see below.
We're excited to perform again, this time in a special set-up: I'll code live from Vilnius, Lithuania, performing with my colleagues on location in Amsterdam.
Hope to 'see' you there,
laurens.

Theresa Sauer author of Notations 21 will be present with copies of her beautiful collection of visual scores and alternative notations.

In Skybox op vrijdag 22 April vanaf 20:30: lemuriformes
lemuriformes is a collaborative improvisational performance project in which live coding, painting and electronic music blend together in one experience.
Many issues are addressed in the process, such as the role of the graphical representation of code in live coding performances, live coding as a means of sound transformation [rather than synthesis], human and machine involvement levels in electronic music and live coding in collaborative performances.
Yet the main reason to start this unusual cooperation was to share a positive and playful experience in which the personal qualities of the collaborators have their role defined on the fly.
The performance at Skybox will be the result of a short residency at STEIM in the first week of April to explore further this interesting combination of crosshatched and intersecting auditory and visual palettes.
Ink: Julie Dassaud, synthesizer: Eliad Wagner, circuits: Roel van Doorn, code: Laurens van der Wee.

* Bio’s
Julie Dassaud is a French visual artist based in Amsterdam involved with various solo and collaborative projects, wherein
she explores in particular the relevancy and possibilities of drawing in our contemporary digital age. In this context, she
exhibits for instance with Img-src, a collective confusing the viewer’s senses by producing analog work that looks digital and the other way around. Her live ink painting contribution to lemuriformes is her first performing appearance. Besides this, Julie is active as artistic director of the Kulter. art space and of the Notations platform.

Roel van Doorn is a multimedia artist living in Rotterdam. At first, his works were focussed on sound, but this slowly
shifted to audiovisual projects recently, in which he is involved in both the sonic and visual aspects of performances. For Vanilla Riot he programs interactive visual software, and improvises with his visual software as a fourth member of the group. This way sound and visuals are intertwined in a meaningful way. For his graduation project he designed and produced several sound installations, which made sound using solar and wind power and were exhibited during the Duizel festival in Rotterdam in 2009.

Laurens van der Wee is a sonic designer, composer and programmer from The Netherlands, currently living in
Vilnius, Lithuania. In June 2011 he will obtain his Master of Music degree at the Music Technology department of the
Utrecht School of the Arts. Laurens focusses on autonomous works on the edge of composition and performance, as well as usual and less usual collaborations, ranging from modern dance to live coding improv [lemuriformes]. His work has been presented in Hong Kong, Canada, USA, Portugal, Spain and several other countries, at occassions such as ICMC, SMC and the Hong Kong International Dance Symposium.
