Hi,
*SoundReasons* <http://soundreasons.in> would like to invite you to the
last 2 installations/openings that are part of the Sound Reasons Festival.
The two sound and new mediaworks are by artists Tapio Makela from
Finland and Bernd Schurer from Switzerland. So the *14^th and 16th of
November* Should be reserved for these Sound Art and Installation works.
please go to http://soundreasons.in and more details a bit more about
the installations and the Artists in the following.

*Vocative Cartography by Tapio Mäkelä
*14 Nov - Whats up Bharat - Hauz Khas Village - 3 pm onwards
________________________________________________________________________________________________________*

Vocative Cartography is a project by Finnish media artist Tapio Mäkelä
presented as part of the Sound Reasons Festival and Sarai Reader: 09:
The Exhibition. Using Android phones with Internet connection and GPS,
participants can locate sound fields within the city, evoking short
narratives and amplifying sounds to become embossed from the urban
traffic dominated soundscape.
*OPENING 14 November*
*3-6 PM* exploring the surrounding fields of sound in Haus Khaz Village
(Tombs, Deer Park, Lake)
*6-7 PM* brief talk by the Artist Tapio Mäkelä & discussion
*The Artist is looking for two modes of participation.*
*1.* Co-creation of sound for the project
- Between Nov 9th-13th focusing on Hauz Khas and nearby regions, also
other parts of Delhi
- Between Nov 15-16 focusing on areas in Gurgaon to be reached from the
Devi Art Foundation.
I am interested in people who want to consider whether locations have a
vocal or sonic identity, and how existing soundscape could be edited and
intervened with personal, vocative expressions.
Participation with the artists involves 2-4 hours in your select
location of dialogue and recording samples. Please contact the artist:
tapio at translocal.net <mailto:tapio at translocal.net> or tel +91 95 8238
4577 <tel:%2B91%2095%208238%204577>.
To participate in the co-creation of sound, please read the proposal by
the artist below. You should have experience of thinking about sound
conceptually, and it is helpful yet not necessary if you also know how
to record and edit audio into short 10 sec -- 2 minute clips. The artist
will edit the sounds into the mobile software. You may also contribute
pre-recorded audio as long as you can grant the copyright for its' use
in the context of this project. Each co-creator is credited for their
contribution.
*2. *Walking & listening participants:
Nov 14th -- 23rd 3 PM-6PM
Sound Reasons at What's Up Bharat, Hauz Khas Village 1
- Discussion with the artist Nov 14th at 6 PM
- Outdoors exploring of the work is done during daytime
- November 17th the project is presented at Devi Art Foundation,
Gurgaon, see below.
*
Nov 17th 2PM-8PM*
Sarai Reader 09: The Exhibition, Devi Art Foundation, Gurgaon
Exploring of Vocative Cartography sound fields near the Devi Art
Foundation 2-6 PM
Discussion with the artist 6-8 PM

*3 Profiles: Vector Streaming Waveform Segregation Version
by Bernd Schurer *
3 Channel Video and 6 Channel Sound Installation
16 -- 20 November, Queens Gallery, British Council, Kasturba Gandhi
Marg, Delhi
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Examining a shared interest in the inherent connection between auditory
and visual elements, the contrasts of sensory aspects constitute the
foundation for these audiovisual studies,
generating "beautiful" visual displays from the combination of basic
synthesized waveforms trough the lens of a vectorscope (an
oscilloscope's x-y mode). This metering device originally used in audio
engineering for the process of vinyl mastering, where the precise
parallel correlation of phases is essential for record pressing, is a
common device, that has since been integrated into stereo image
monitoring equipment to deliver a graphic representation of the stereo
signal. The meter displays a two-dimensional rectangular coordinate
system. The device can visualize three different attributes of sound -
it's amplitude, frequency and phase correlation. Here, the left channel
of sound is represented by one axis and the right channel by the other.
The resulting visual output is affected by the difference of the input
signals, and something referred to as lissajous patterns appear and move
on the display, which was what ultimately drew my curiosity.
Throughout the experimentation phase, the idea of the image as a
functional accompanist to the sound was abandoned and the audio element
was subordinated in favor of the image, which creates an aesthetics that
is otherwise mostly absent from technical audio metering.
"3 profiles" presents 3 different segregated audio stereo- streams that
run in parallel, each of these 3 in turn get visualized by the
vectorscope. The image is written into a matrix, that is used to
modulate the sound profiles' properties of frequency, phase and
amplitude and therefore create a recursive audiovisual system.
*OPENING 16 November at 7pm

*16 Nov - **20 th Nov* Exibition @ Queens Gallery, British Council,
Kasturba Gandhi Marg, Delhi
*Schurer's* artistic focus lies on the work with sound in a broad
spectrum of different contexts: a constant shift, although, mostly
investigating the experiential relationship between sound and what one
would generally describe as space and the body. There is a strong
fascination in the study of the perception of sound and our
interpretative patterns, and there has been done artistic research in
the domains of Psychoacoustics, Architecture, Auralization, Sonification
and Audio- Visual Representation Systems. Presentations my vary from
Computer Music Diffusion to Installation work to abstract Sound Art.
Some of it has been exhibited internationally on various scales, from
micro galleries to public space, from "art at home" to the Venice Art
Biennial. Since 1996 he is co-editor and curator for electronic sound
pieces at the domizil.ch <http://domizil.ch> imprint in Zürich, together
with Marcus Maeder. Bernd Schurer was born 1970 in Zurich, and currently
lives in Berlin. He studied Philosophy and Film Science at the
University of Zurich and Visual Art at the Lucerne University of Applied
Sciences and Arts. He received an MA in Electroacoustic Composition and
Theory at the Zürich Univeristy of the Arts with Professors Germàn Toro-
Peréz and Dr. Martin Neukom.domizil.ch <http://Neukom.domizil.ch>
