Musique Concrète, meaning concrete music, is a form of contemporary music. In addition to sounds derived from musical instruments, it uses voices or sounds recorded from nature. The theoretical basis of musique concrète as a compositional practice began in the early 1940s, developed by Pierre Schaeffer and other musicians. 2. Lionel Marchetti is a noted French electroacoustic music composer and improvised musician, a sound and visual artist and a poet. He is an educator as well. Contents: 1. A brief introduction to Musique Concrete 2. Music works sharing 3. An introduction to the aesthectics of electroacoustic music 4.An introduction to musical improvisation and the composer’s attitude towards it 主题:莱昂内尔•马尔凯蒂;来自法国具象音乐作曲家的音乐美学和即兴音乐态度 当浪漫遇到具象,音乐遇见美学,想象这样的音乐会是什么样的旋律嘛?11月10日下午1点到3点莱昂内尔•马尔凯蒂将在新车间,分享主题—来自法国具象音乐作曲家的音乐美学和即兴音乐态度—-音乐专场演说,记住是“演说”,不是演讲,席位有限,预定赶早。 1、所谓“具象音乐”(Musique Concrete) ,也就是用自然界或人类发出的声音(乐器以外)作为原始素材而以各种录音及音响手法加工制作出的现代音乐。40年代末由法国人 Pierre Schaeffer、 Pierre Henry 等人首创,是法国对现代音乐的重要贡献。 2、莱昂内尔•马凯蒂是今天法国电子音乐和即兴音乐的代表音乐家之一。也是一位诗人和视觉艺术家。他是一位活跃的作曲家、即兴演奏者、声音艺术家和教育家。 分享内容: 1、 简单介绍他眼中的具象音乐; 2、 介绍和展示自己的音乐创作; 3、 介绍和分享电子原音音乐的美学; 4、 分享什么叫做即兴音乐与即兴音乐创作的态度; ]]>

September 27th, 2013 § 0 comments § permalink
What’s a night hanging out at the pop up hackerspace in Xu Jia Hui without some long exposure and flash fun! Lumi and David are both long time Strobist and can’t pass the chance to have some fun creating ghost photos while looking after the container.
How to make ghost photos?
The ghost photos are made with long exposure, in this case, f/20 and 5 second shutter, two flashes (one on the floor and one on the top of the container). The subjects ran into the positions, trigger the flash the manually with a remote and ran out of the frame. The flash froze the subject in place against the long exposure background and appear translucent.

September 8th, 2013 § 24 comments § permalink
We built a Pop Up Hackerspace in a container as part of the Make+ for accelerating Makers’ project through Art. This is first to be host at the Creative Carnival in Shanghai. It’s done and opened over the weekend! It has been a success attracting a lot of visitors interested in 3D printing, robotics and Maker Culture! People come to see projects by the local makers, take workshop on Arduino and 3D printing and having fun talking to the makers. The pop up hackerspace will start its journey around China after the Shanghai Maker Carnival on Oct 19-20.
