"Concentrating on new music and its relationship with industry,
the last two evenings will open with Luigi Nono’s emblematic work
La Fabbrica Illuminata – a wonderful metaphor of the new ZHdK campus –
followed by compositions by Iannis Xenakis, Horacio Vaggione,
Zbigniew Karkovski, and works by ZHdK members.
Z Club will peak in an audio-visual live performance
by Michael Egger, Thomas Peter, and Jorge Sánchez-Chiong."
The Synkie is a modular open source analog video processor, developed by Michael Egger, Flo Kaufmann and Max Egger.
Like the venerable modular Moog synthesizer it lets you toy around with the signal using patch cables - but this time not producing sound but images. It is an instrument for video, a playground, a platform to explore new ways to transform a video signal.
Synkie is still in development, we constantly develop new modules - and even the base specifications may still change over time. But right now there’s already enough stuff to have fun playing around and the instrument has already a complexity that gets hard to control…
Heads up: the shoutbox will be retiring soon. It’s tired of working, and can’t wait to relax. You can still send a message to the channel owner, though!
