translocalmixer
Re:combo has put out a "Call for Noises" on the
Internet for three elements from different cities around the world:
percussive patterns, noise, and speech. These then become the samples
for the "Translocal Mixer," a new Flash-based project
that uses sliders to allow participants to create their own mix
of world sounds--a kind of urban synth online, on the fly.
constelação
The re:combo, through the project constelação intends
to unite people and appearently far medias.
The already old technology, of sending messages through cellphones,
feeds a web page, that approximates and gives new reading to the
messages left that form constellations with time and space connections.
The graphic / visual representation of the messages is presented
in the shape of a starred sky, with the messages / stars united
through the constellations. Unions also imaginary.
The representation may be visualized in two moments: through a web
interface or through the fisical installation, during the Salão
Pernambucano de Artes Plásticas, at Museu do Estado.
With the display of Constelações in Recife the Re:combo
asks itself: what message is written and sent in determined time
and place?
Re:combo is a Brazilian-based but
now worldwide collective of "musicians, software engineers,
DJs, professors, journalists and computer geeks," who combine
live events, peer-to-peer networking, and music resampling as their
medium.
