MDO in A'dam tonight



Tonight (29/4/03) at Smart Project Space, 20:30 
1E Constantijn Huygensstraat 20, Amsterdam 

Mutant Data Orchestra (modified digital electronics) with Felipe Waller (sythesizer) and Hillary Jeffery (trombone and efx)

Het Mutant Data Orchestra bestaat uit Mark zelf en zijn broer John Bain. Het duo manipuleert de ?datastromen? van antwoord-apparaten, digitale spelletjes en goedkope electronische muziek- instrumenten. Een voortdurende worsteling tussen mens en machine, tussen componist en zijn instrument. 

The Mutant Data Orchestra, consisting of the twin brothers John and  Mark Bain, performs with rewired digital instruments which are designed to occupy a balance between chaos and control. This attractor is utilized to navigate improvised compositions  toward ideal aesthetics based on the particular characteristics of each machine. Sonified data is manipulated through added interfaces and network capabilities providing new chip to chip connections within and among individual machines. The artists essentially build sonic organisms live on stage implying hidden sonic urbanisms reflecting the micro-urbanisms of the digital chips and their individual connections. Digital memory does have a sound and the Mutant Data Orchestra exploits this fact.
