    <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Tracts is a group show of sound installations at Melbourne's Blindside Gallery as part of the <a href="http://www.nextwave.org.au" rel="nofollow">2008 Next Wave Festival</a> that examines the role of sound in the world. The exhibition explores how sound can shape our understandings of our surroundings and ourselves, bringing into question the nature of space within a gallery and the role of the subject in experience. Assembled by several of Australia's premier emerging sound artists, the exhibition invites the audience to enter, surround, and interact with the installations.</p>
<p>Inspired by German architect Friedrich Kiesler's interest in the interrelationships between people culture and space, with a particular focus on the role of sound in this regard, the exhibition presents four individual installation works, all of which create singular spaces in the gallery while at the same time  intermingling with one another, their environment and their subjects. In encountering each work, the line between audience, artwork and gallery blurs, challenging us to confront the continuity that exists between all three as well as, more broadly, art and life itself.</p>
<p>Tracts is curated by Ben Byrne. Former director of the Electrofringe and Liquid Architecture festivals Ben is an electronic musician, improvisor and artist currently undertaking a PhD on the nature of sound. The show also features the work of Adam Costenoble (Sydney), Matt Chaumont (Sydney) and Thembi Soddell (Melbourne). Musicians and gallery artists, Adam Costenoble and Matt Chaumont have both received Helen Lempriere Art Prize Awards, alongside Thembi Soddell who has released several albums and most recently performed at the Melbourne International Biennale of Exploratory Music.</p>
<p>This show is a part of the 2008 NEXT WAVE Festival 15th – 31st May<br />

The record consists of two live sets by the maverick amplified-glass player recorded during his &amp; Keg's recent tour of Europe.<br />
Side A was captured in Marseille on the eve of Justice's 35th birthday while side B was recorded on Kegs birthday in Porto, and to top off the birthday cheer Keg also drew the cover illustration as a gift for Justice's Birthday. The record has been collaboratively released in an edition of 600 copies across the world by Anarchymoon Recordings (North America), Turgid Animal (Europe) &amp; All Thumbs Press (Australia). Of which only 25 or so are in the country as All Thumbs copies practically sold out during the aforementioned tour and will only be available at the show.<br />
His sets have been described as "a trumpet player trapped in a two dimensional universe". By pressing his face and lips against the glass whist employing various vocal techniques ranging from throat singing to raspberries, he turns disguarded household windows into crude musical instruments. Resulting in a wide variety of cacophonous noises that are strangely controlled and oddly musical.<br />
Justice Yeldham is the latest alter-ego of Australian sound performer Lucas Abela, whose past sonic experiments were conducted under monikers like A Kombi, Dj Smallcock &amp; Peeled Hearts Paste. Initially classed as an experimental turntablist, although his early work rarely resembled anything in the field. Early feats, saw him stab vinyl with Kruger style stylus gloves, bound on electro acoustic trampolines, drag race the popemobile across Sydney Harbour Bridge, perform deaf defying duet duels with amplified samurai swords, hospitalised by high powered turntables constructed from sewing machine motors, record chance John Peel sessions with the Flaming Lips, &amp; be Otomo Yoshihides' favourite entry into his Ground Zero remix competition; 'Consummation' even though instead of sampling the CD he destroyed it using amplified skewers!<br />
He also founded and runs dualpLOVER (recording label, cd/dvd replicators, distributor and promoter of gigs and tours). Principally a live audio artist he's been performing professionally for the past 14 years, ever since Oren Ambarchi and Robbie Avenaim stumbled across his late night radio performances in 1994 and asked him to play their 2nd What is Music? Festival. Since he's toured the world extensively, performing in 35 coutries.<br />
also appearing are MC PURPLE DUCK, Curse Ov Dialect with an all new show and the always entertaining Hi-God people + dj hate.<br />

<p>After the gynormous SYDNEY GYPSY &amp; BALKAN BASH of April 19, the Uber Lingua Abercrombie continue to push cutting edge culture and linguistic diversity into Sydney's party scene... The events are now pretty much monthly thangs and the forthcoming edition UBER SYSTEM LIBERATED! will not let the standards slip... As the winter months approach the motivation to have more stuff inside is evident. Together with the Figure 8 crew who help out with sound, we launched our new 'Indoor stage' at the last party and this also allowed us to have LIVE stuff after midnight (the Beer garden has sound restrictions)... a 3-member version of the Gypsy Dub Sound System used it to great affect...</p>
<p>At UBER SYSTEM LIBERATED! Brisbane's Potato Master returns to be part of an Sound System performance with selector bP and Sri Lankan MC Pataphysics. This trio performed together at the Sydney Festival 'Festival First night' space by Uber Lingua in Angel Place... They are joined by Sydney based turntablist Ability, so it's a tri-state configuration... Gong Baby are Indonesian percussion and instrumentalists Deva Permana &amp; Efen Jaenudin working with producer and DJ Jonah. The combination is a precision mix of electronics and urban beats fusing with ancient eastern aesthetics... frankly speaking it's quite electric! Gondwana are heralded Didgeridoo player Charlie McMahon (previously working under the moniker Gondwanaland), Mashy P and a keyboard player named Paul. Charlie has recorded on albums by Midnight Oil, Janes Addiction, Hisashi Shirahama, Ed Kuepper &amp; John Williamson to name a few... This project takes his exploration of Didjeri-bone and FX pedals further... atone are ex-Mancunian Andrew Fitzgerald and Steve Stanislavsky, they produce a never ending stockpile of deep electronic dub and the act has become a mainstay of the Sydney electronic music scene since first appearing with their 5 star reviewed atonement album in 1996.</p>
<p>DJs for the night include Turkish SBS broadcaster Evrim, who received a popular response to her set at the SG&amp;BB, so she had to be asked back for another slot. Indian drum and bass DJ Ritual arrives on the Uber Lingua lineup with a strong urge to connect his genetic heritage to his DnB passion. Ritual is no stranger to the Abercrombie after playing many a DnBBQ. Stu Buchanan and the Ollo DJs fulfill a newly formed aspect of the Abercrombie parties. As there's sound restrictions after midnight we've started featuring (dare we say) 'chilled out' listening sets in the beer garden after midnight. Almost all of the Argentinean DJs (and an MC) involved in Uber Lingua are on this bill as part of some random sequence of programming coincidences... Man about town, DubChaman and DJ Spex vs. MC Hernan will inject a higher than normal hot Latin element to this party... The upstairs gallery space will be open from 11pm as always for more adventures...</p>
<p>UBER SYSTEM LIBERATED! will be one chokers party in Uber Lingua's history... If you've missed the past few, it's def worth considering. We should also mention that due to popular demand, we'll be doing another GYPSY &amp; BALKAN BASH in the next couple of months so keep yer eyes peeled and yer fur hats within reach... Check out the Uber Lingua flickr pages to see photos from the recent Abercrombie events. It's also worth getting on the Sydney UL email list by sending a message to <a href="mailto:syd@uberlingua.com">syd@uberlingua.com</a></p>

Hearing Laura Marling sing, it's hard to believe she's just eighteen years old. Having been compared to her folk heroes Joni Mitchell and Carole King, as well as Kate Bush, her deft, cool phrasing is suggestive of someone who has a story to tell, and knows how to tell it. Her debut album 'Alas I Cannot Swim' has set critics and fans across the world whispering her praises.<br />

    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://transmission.cc/files/transmission_0.jpg" hspace="20" align="left" />  Video makers, media activists, software developers and artists from 15 countries across the Asia-Pacific will be gathering in Sukabumi, West Java from May 19-25 for an online video skills camp. The goal of the camp is to bring together open source software programmers, video makers and media activists to develop the strategic use of online video distribution for social justice and media democracy.<br />
TX-AP is a joint initiative between media activists in Australia and Indonesia. It is organised collaboratively by EngageMedia (Australia), a video sharing website and free software development, training and networking project and Ruangrupa (Indonesia) a non-profit artist initiative supporting the development of art in the cultural context through events, exhibitions, research and documentation. 50 specially invited media activists and artists will be coming to Indonesia to attend the workshop and share their skills and ideas.<br />
The camp will provide a unique opportunity for artists, video makers, software developers and activists to collaborate and share skills in a global context where on-line video communication skills have become an increasingly important strategy for activists.<br />

<p>Andrew Lowenthal of EngageMedia explained "Transmission Asia-Pacific will be a unique face to face meeting between video makers and open source software developers to shape open source online video sharing applications and their strategic use for social aims". He went on to explain "free and open source makes sense for organisations with limited means, both from a strictly economic point of view and also as part of their overall strategic aims, as the system of open collaboration and sharing that free software is based on has a natural philosophical fit with organisations working on environmental or social justice issues".</p>
<p>Participants will attend from around the region, for example participants from from Hong Kong making videos about communities resisting gentrification and over development of urban areas in Hong Kong and China. This group puts video cameras into the hands of those most affected by these policies and then helps them edit and share their work on-line. Projects such as these increase the communication rights of marginalized and displaced peoples allowing them to articulate their concerns to a wider public.</p>
<p>Another media activist from India has been using on-line media distribution to raise awareness of censorship of diverse sexualities in mainstream Indian media outlets. They have produced a satirical and humorous look at queer moments from Bollywood films to draw attention to the marginalisation of these voices within Indian society.</p>
<p>Transmission Asia-Pacific is the 4th in a series of events bringing together video activists and web developers. Previous events have occurred in Rome, London and Amsterdam.</p>
