Présentation / Lecture
Networked Music and SoundArt Timeline : a panoramic view of practices related to sound transmission and distance
This timeline aims to provide an overview of the principal events and projects in the realm of networked music and networked sonic performance since the beginning of the XX° century. The objective of this project is to reveal or uncover links between disciplines often considered separately such as art/music, technological development, social shifts, anticipationary visions & proleptic statements. This will in turn provide a clearer vision of the very recent history of soundart and music in todays networked technological environment. The current iteration was in launched 2008 within the context of the Locus Sonus research lab one of whichs vocations is to provide a corpus of information for documentary and critical use available to researchers, artistes and the arteducation community in general. It is nourished by parallel research, developed in recent years within Locus Sonus, concerning remote sound recording and playback, live audio streaming, and ‘geotagged’ sound projects.
Historique de l'art audio et de la musique en réseau : panorama des pratiques et techniques liées aux transports de sons et aux actions sonores à distance, comme nouveau paradigme de l'écoute
Cet Historique (Timeline NMSAT) vise à fournir une vue d’ensemble des événements et projets artistiques principaux dans les domaines de la musique et de la performance sonore en réseau depuis le début du XXème siècle. L’objectif de ce projet est de révéler et de découvrir des liens et des croisements entre des disciplines le plus souvent observées séparément, telles que art et musique, les sciences et technologies, les modifications sociales et observations sociologiques, les approches philosophiques, et des états visionnaires et proleptiques présents dans ces domaines et dans la littérature d’anticipation.

About sonification
In music, the idea of sound as an actual structural element only gained currency after World War II. I will outline briefly the history of this, citing significant composers and works. In addition, I will present samples of several sonification projects of my own from early work in realizing three-dimensional images (1972), and brain-wave music (1974-75) to the realization of DNA sequences (1995-present).

Bubble Music
Water as a medium for the sonification of photosynthetic respiration in aquatic plants. - a short presentation with sound examples.
Bubble Music: water as a medium for the sonification of organic activity
Over the past five years, as part of a broader practice that investigates environmental materials for sonic potential, I have been making field recordings using self-built hydrophones within various fresh water bodies, such as ponds, rivers, lakes, streams and canals.
This approach to the aqueous medium has revealed a host of previously unexpected sounding phenomena within specific environments.
Many sounds encountered now seem less remarkable given what one knows of the world above the water surface, aquatic insect calls (stridulation), fish feeding and communicating, the action of moving water over different surfaces and such like.
However, phenomena that have taken longer to understand, are the sounds produced by certain species of aquatic plants and the roles played by liquids in this seemingly bizarre occurrence.
As with the interaction of air upon air, it’s hard to say whether the action of water on water creates any sound, however where transducers exist, such as the waters’ own surface tension - where liquid meets gas, or on a river bed, where liquid interacts with solid, the energy of moving water is transduced, undergoing a change of state from the kinetic energy of flow into vibrations that may be perceived as sound.
The transpiration of the gases produced by photosynthetic respiration in plants above water, makes no sound (at least, non that can be perceived given current technologies), however carbon dioxide and oxygen released by sub-aquatic flora, if not dissolved within the water itself, is naturally forced to form bubbles if released in sufficient quantity. Due to the interaction of gas and water forming the surface tension of a bubble, and then the action of the bubble as it is released from the plants’ stomata, sound is produced. Such sound is often heard as a click or a pulse, and where many plants are present and releasing gas, a dense field of ticks and clicks may be heard corresponding to individual rhythms of respiration.
However, in a similar fashion to the way in which pulses from electronic wave generators or synthesizers are perceived as tone given sufficient cycle speeds, if respiratory rhythm is sufficiently rapid, then these clicks can become tonal sound forms.
In organisms such as Hornwort (Ceratophylum Demersum), bubbles are released with such speed in the summer months, that tones, drones and siren-like pulses of various types may be produced and in such cases, a pond or canal can occasionally sound more like the electronic music studio.
This sonification process reveals changes in photosynthetic activity corresponding to shifting light levels, ambient aquatic temperatures and even, possibly, threat or disturbance to the plant from external sources.

Working across various forms, including improvised music, field recording, film soundtrack and installation, Lee Patterson attempts to understand his surroundings through different ways of listening.
Characterised by revealing subliminal and barely audible sound materials within commonplace things, his unorthodox approach to generating sound has led to collaborations with a host of international artists and musicians.
Recent CD releases include Egg Fry #2, Midhopestones, with Phil Minton, Michel Doneda, Louisa Martin and Rhodri Davies; Bouy with Paul Vogel and Phil Durrant, and Terrain with Graham Halliwell.
His premier solo disc, Seven Vignettes was released in May 2009.
His solo and collaborative work has featured on Channel 4, BBC Radio 3 and 4, Resonance FM and on several European radio stations.
He is currently artist in residence at Stour Valley Arts, Kings Wood, Challock, Kent.
Born in the east of England in 1971, he resides and works in Prestwich near Manchester.

Peter Sinclair is a digital media and sound artist. He is tenured professor at Ecole Superieure d'Art d'Aix-en-Provence where he has been responsible for the sound department since 1996. He is also currently a member of the scientific council for research and studies at the DAP (fine arts department) of the French Ministry for Culture and research co-director with Jérôme Joy of Locus Sonus lab audio in art, which is a collaboration between two Schools of Arts, ESA Aix-en-P and ENSA Nice Villa Arson, and the sociology laboratory LAMES CNRS-MMSH. Peter Sinclair is known for his sound installations and other cross-disciplinary works which use sound as their principal medium. Excited by technology but handling it with critical irony, his work has moved from burlesque mechanics, through the misuse of computers to performance that parodies modern media language in transatlantic streamed-collaborations. Aside from his personal artistic productions Peter Sinclair participates in various collectives as "PacJap" and "Daisy Chain" and he has been working with New-York based artist GH Hovagymian since 1996.
Peter Sinclair est un artiste principalement connu pour ses installations sonores et ses réalisations utilisant l'audio comme principal médium. Engagé dans des pratiques artistiques liées aux technologies il manipule ces médiums avec un regard critique, parfois ironique, mettant en oeuvre des rencontres entre hommes et machines pour créer des situations inédites. Son travail évolue de la mécanique burlesque, en passant par le détournement d'ordinateurs, jusqu'à la performance - son oeuvre parodie le langage des media modernes via des collaborations en réseau. Il enseigne à l'École Supérieure d'Art d'Aix-en-Provence où il est responsable du département son depuis 1996. Il est aussi membre du Conseil Scientifique du Bureau de la Recherche et de l'Innovation de la Délégation aux Arts Plastiques du Ministère de la Culture et co-dirige avec Jérôme Joy le laboratoire de recherche et cursus 3ème cycle Locus Sonus audio in art.

Philosophe, épistémologue, enseignant à l'ESA Aix-en-Provence (approche scientifique), Jean Cristofol propose une réflexion sur la notion même de "temps réel", et le cadre théorique et pratique dans lequel elle prend sens, celui qu'engage les dispositifs technologiques interactifs. Au-delà, il s'agit de prendre en compte la constitution d'une configuration conceptuelle (boîte noire, feedback et régulation, code et information, interface, simulation...) qui trouve ses sources dans la cybernétique, et qui continue, pour une large part, à déterminer l'horizon épistémique et imaginaire dans lequel s'élaborent ces dispositifs. C'est à partir de ce point de vue que le temps réel pourra être considéré comme lieu de croisement d'une réflexion qui suit plusieurs pistes : celle qui interroge les transformations de notre rapport à l'espace social et politique, l'apparition de modes nouveaux de représentation et d'action dans le monde de ce que Virilio appelle la "transapparence"; celle des modalités de l'inscription temporelle des arts visuels avec la photographie, le cinéma, la vidéo puis le numérique; celle enfin qui prend en compte le déplacement de la réflexion "esthétique" des objets vers les dispositifs, de la contemplation vers l'interaction. Ceci permet une approche théorique et critique d'un certain nombre des concepts dans lesquels les pratiques technologiques se pensent ou se projètent.
Il anime le laboratoire Plot au sein du programme de recherche Agglo, avec Fabrice Gallis et Guillaume Stagnaro.
Il interviendra en février prochain au colloque "SuperVitesse et WikiMémoire" (impact des nouvelles technologies sur l'imaginaire), organisé à Québec par Avatar - Vacuohm en collaboration avec Les Productions Recto-Verso et l'École des arts visuels de l'Université Laval.

Motherboard Pickups
"Tripping Through Runtime" is a long-term study, approaching 'digitality' via microphones for magnetic fields to dive into the invisible relationships of hard and soft computer matters by sensual means. The aim is to detect and provoke specific behaviour of
single computer components in match with software pieces, which are being mediated with the magnetic microphones. These acoustic trips through the magnetic spheres of laptop motherboards move at the borderline between sonification and mystification, raising questions of their purpose.

With choreographies for computer software and computer parts, Valentina Vuksic puts them into the limelight, turning them into actors of noise pieces for and in computers.

Jens Brand studied visual arts in Münster, Germany. He lives and works as a composer, musician, visual & audio-visual artist and organiser in Dortmund, Germany. His pieces can appear as concerts, performances or installations. Recent works have ended up being mixtures of these genres, developed as logical and absurd games between the audience and the artist. His experiments with everything that can be considered to be art are not supposed to establish a belief or truth, but try to offer a fruitful soil for research, communication and progressive failure. Pieces used in the collaboration with Sam Ashley, such as Motors and Styrofoam, Mini Fan Music, PIANO or RATCHETS appear as short duration installations that evoke something Jens considers to be "electronic music without speakers".

écoute/listen mp3 Déjà Entendu: Some Thoughts on Sound and its Representation (symposium 4 Extranautes, 2007)
Angus Carlyle works at the University of the Arts, London where, with Dr. Cathy Lane, he is a Director of CRiSAP.
He has been an intermittent writer for a couple of decades, tackling subjects as diverse as the suicide of Guy Debord and long-distance truck drivers. He has devoted a lot of words to contemporary photography, a process that began when he was the editor of themepark - a magazine that was active across the turn of the millennium – and then continued with texts for gallery catalogues and articles for Hotshoe, Photoworks, Black Dog Press and Eyemazing. He edited Autumn Leaves: Sound and Environment in Artistic Practice for Double Entendre and will soon publish Katch 23, a book about the art-pop band, The KLF.
In recent years, he has been exploring sound in artistic contexts, exhibiting at the DCA Gallery in Tucson, the Zeppelin Festival in Barcelona, in the High Desert Test Sites in Joshua Tree Valley, at London’s E:vent Gallery, on Resonance FM and on the M25 Motorway. He has performed as part of improvising groups in the UK’s oldest cinema, at the Placard Festival and at the Sonic Arts’ Network’s Expo 2008. A CD of his Kami-Katsura recordings will be released by Gruenrekorder in the Spring of 2009. He is a researcher on the multi-disciplinary Positive Soundscape Project.
