Tate Modern, in association with The Wire, announce its first electronic music concert:

Oval + Scanner + Kim Cascone

A concert

Starr Auditorium, Level 2
Tate Modern, Bankside
London, UK
http://www.tate.org.uk

Friday 21 September
19.30 - 21.30

Performances by three major contemporary electronic musicians, Oval, Scanner, and Kim Cascone complement the conference, 'Immanent Choreographies: Deleuze and Neo-Aesthetics'.

Scanner <http://www.scannerdot.com> - British sound artist, Robin Rimbaud - creates absorbing, multi-layered soundscapes that twist technology in unconventional ways. His controversial early work used scanned mobile phone conversations which he wove into his soundscapes, thus focusing on the split between the public and the private. As well as producing compositions and recordings, Scanner has created soundtracks for films, performances, and radio plays, and creates multimedia installations.

Oval - German sound sculptor, Markus Popp - explores the process and systems behind the design of electronic music. Popp has developed his own software, Oval Process, which manipulates looping sound samples. Oval Process also exists as a CD and a sound installation, which enable listeners to be involved in generating Oval music. Artforum comment that Oval's music "? hums, crackles, vibrates; quavering analog tones pulse and feed back on themselves. It's a dirty music made from digital translucence ..."

Both Scanner and Oval have recorded and released many CDs, and featured on the compilations, Folds & Rhizomes for Gilles Deleuze (1995, Sub Rosa) and In Memorium: Gilles Deleuze (1996, Mille Plateaux), tribute albums to Deleuze.

American electronic musician Kim Cascone <http://www.anechoicmedia.com/> works at the intersection between academic computer music and contemporary digital listening. He has worked with David Lynch as Assistant Music Editor on Twin Peaks and Wild at Heart, and founded Silent Records, the premier electronic music label in the U.S.A. Cascone has released more than 15 albums of electronic music and has worked as a collaborator and producer on numerous projects. He also writes for Computer Music Journal and Artbyte Magazine.
Kim Cascone also performs at the Sprawl Club event, Wednesday 19th Sept, Global Cafe, 15 Golden Sq, London W1. 7.30pm.
