OtherFilm presents from the UK…

Guy Sherwin and Lynn Loo Australian / NZ tour 2008 (Brisbane 7-9 August)

Like a blast of cinematic conceptual art, film artist Guy Sherwin’s hand-crafted films explore the elements of film’s grain, tone, flicker, sound, light and space. Beautiful, enigmatic, and sensual, these experimental films question our perception of ‘light moving in time.’ Together with partner Lynn Loo, Guy creates cinematic environments of incredible purity and beauty. OtherFilm regulars will be familiar with the awesomeness of the London Filmmakers’ Co-op, where Guy’s filming began. We are so excited that Guy will be here in a month’s time! If you’re into artists’ film do NOT miss the opportunity to see one of the great film artists on his first Australian visit!

Guy Sherwin Optical Sound DVD and Book available through OtherFilm Bazaar

SOUNDING OUT 4 - An International Symposium on Sound in the Media

4-6 September, 2008 – University of Sunderland, UK

Sounding Out will return to the University of Sunderland’s Media Centre in September 2008, hosted by the Centre for Research in Media & Cultural Studies. The conference aims to promote links and dialogue between practitioners, students and academics concerned with SOUND as communication, entertainment and creative practice across various media: including film, radio, television, video, audio-books, electro-acoustic music, sonic art, new digital media and computer games. Sounding Out 4 is particularly interested in the twin themes of sound and memory, sound and history but these are by no means exclusive and the debate is expected to be as wide-ranging and forward-looking as on previous occasions.

The conference will include a selection of keynote speakers drawn from a variety of media (theory and practice), presentations of audio and audio-visual work, plus 14 panels of papers by delegates (a total of 40 papers).

YAMAHA has teamed up with the MUTEK festival to present the Canadian premiere of the brand-new and visually stunning TENORI-ON live performance console. Created by TOSHIO IWAI, the TENORI-ON is a unique 16 x 16 LED-button matrix performance instrument with a one-of-a-kind visual display. This unique performance tool enables producers to perform using MIDI, while loading the TENORI-ON with samples to ‘jam / improvise’ within their set beats per minute. A broad range of international talent will be on hand for this event, ready to put the TENORI-ON to the test, featuring Pole, Sutekh, Robert Lippok, I Am Robot And Proud, Nathan Michel, Pheek.
