Complementing the user_mode symposium,
this event will feature live performances by leading electronic
musicians and performers. Montreal-based musician Akufen
(Marc Leclair) constructs invigorating electronic compositions
comprised of microsamples of radio broadcasts. His highly acclaimed
album My Way was released in 2002 on Force Inc. Janek
Schaefer is a musician and sound artist based in London
whose work addresses the role of the vinyl record as a compositional
tool. MIT Media Lab graduate Golan Levin is
an artist, composer, and performer from New York, who works
with interactive performance, installation, software design
and mobile telephony.
In tandem with its exploration of the emotional dimension of
electronic music, this event will show ways that interactive
techniques can dissolve the boundary between musician and listener,
artist and spectator, and producer and user.
