Multiscreen Video Installation
stop.spot! Festival 2009
OK Centrum Linz
When I heared that 2009’s topic of the biennal stop.spot! festival would be «Text and Music» I started documenting all the Hooklines that suddenly appeared in my head all day. «Hooks» are those tiny edgy fragments of a songtext that nests inside your head and mostly they come with a strong connection to their accociated music. Some of them reoccure over and over again, sometimes I didn’t hear the corresponding song in two years. For this installation I took the most significant ones and created realtime animated pictures out of them.

Magnetic Movie
Magnetic Movie from Semiconductor on Vimeo.
A Semiconductor film by Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt shot at the NASA Space Sciences Laboratory, UC Berkeley, California, USA.
The secret lives of invisible magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic ever-changing geometries . All action takes place around NASA's Space Sciences Laboratories, UC Berkeley, to recordings of space scientists describing their discoveries . Actual VLF audio recordings control the evolution of the fields as they delve into our inaudible surroundings, revealing recurrent ‘whistlers' produced by fleeting electrons . Are we observing a series of scientific experiments, the universe in flux, or a documentary of a fictional world?.

Scan Processor Studies
Scan Processor Studies (excerpts pt.1) from Brian O'Reilly on Vimeo.
The SCAN PROCESSOR STUDIES are a collection of works by Woody Vasulka & Brian O'Reilly.
The full work is of total approximate duration of 45 minutes, with sections of various lengths, textures, and dynamic qualities.
The project first started while Woody and I were working on different commissioned projects at the ZKM (Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, Karlsruhe Germany). He and Steina on the exhibition MINDFRAMES and Garth Knox and myself on the DVD and performance SPECTRAL STRANDS: FOR VIOLA AND VISUALS. Woody, Steina, Garth and I spent many nights screening works for moving images, playing music, and cooking, enveloped in the huge ghost town mood the ZKM's kitchen took on at night. During this time there were passionate discussions about video synthesizers (mainly my love for the Sandin Image Processor), and how Steina's VIOLIN POWER had a huge influence on Garth's and my new series of works.
The source materials were generated by Woody using a Rutt-Etra Scan Processor in the 1970's and sat on a shelf for years, having been recently digitized. Woody came into my studio one day and asked me if I would be interested in using them to work on a collaboration, and the project began from there...
The works use sources excavated directly from the output of the Scan Processor, as well as further manipulations using Tom Demeyer's ImX software, developed with input from Steina. Extensive editing and layering and additional augmentations were done using Phil Mortons IP. The Sound was generated (mostly) by custom software developed by Chandrasekhar Ramakrishnan and myself called NETHER GENERATOR, which sets up a number of complex real time feedback networks filtered and processed by various means.
SCAN PROCESSOR STUDIES was first exhibited as an installation in the ZKM's MINDFRAMES exhibition.
The source materials from Woody's original experiments with the Scan Processor have also been used in conjunction with further processing on my part to create the base materials for other works, including a three screen version of Woody's piece GRAZING and the work LEVEL & DEGREE OF DARK.

Gábor Winand - Different Garden (2004) (BMC records) [wav]
"Amazing at first, his ductile voice, so little concerned with imposing itself, transcends the technique of vocal art to reach directly the essential of expression. Furthermore his talent for improvisation – also inherited from a former saxophone and clarinet practice – his inimitably fluid phrasing, gracefully bypassing the potential traps of bad taste the greatest vocalists of the genre have not always avoided."

Adham Shaikh - Journey to the Sun (1995) [192kbps]
"Droning Indian sitars, hauntingly melodic bansuri & venu flutes, religious chanting, ethnic percussion (as well as beatscapes), are all layered with excellent synthwork & fx processing. The result is compelling and demands a loud headphone session. Highly recommended!"
