loK8Tr, Matthew Pioro, about the dangers and pitfalls of online collaboration

rare and daring explorations in sound

Issue 106 spring 2010 The future of radio, from web 2.0 to second life

In this issue Matthew Pioro writes about his experience with loK8Tr, a project of the Canadian  Music Center’s New Music in New Places series and asks in this context what was at stake in the Double Blind performance I did with Curt Cloninger.

Double Blind (love) documentation by Curt Cloninger

Documentation of  Double Blind (Love) by Curt Cloninger.

Some thoughts on attempting to archiving a counfounded time:
Text wriiten by Curt Cloninger on the NetBehaviour list.

“My video documentation winds up being higher fidelity and more
intentionally synchronized than the original performance. There are
all sorts of very strange questions that arise in terms of the
synchronization. If I synch up Annie’s audio track from France with
the background arrival of her audio in the US, is that a “correct”
synchronization, or am I re-ordering the flow of time after the fact?
As I have been trying to synch everything up, sometimes the “arrival”
of Annie’s sound in my US audio will come before the “launch” of her
sound in the France audio — a kind of impossible, prophetic
re-rendering of time.

“Interesting and affecting convergence of the performative work Curt Cloninger has been doing of late with the strange, wonderful & categorisation denying oeuvre of Annie Abrahams.“

English text at the bottom.

“Un jour (que se sera-t-il passé ?) un long-voyeur abandonnera son segment, s’engagera sur une étroite passerelle au-dessus du gouffre noir, partira sur la ligne de fuite, ayant cassé sa lunette, à la rencontre d’un double aveugle qui s’avance à l’autre bout.” Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Mille plateaux. P247

“Par répétition vous pouvez augmenter la chance que votre choix à vous résonne jusqu’aux frontières du réseau, mais vous prenez aussi le risque de faire bousculer le paysage, jusqu’à maintenant plein de surprises dans celui d’un désert monotone.” http://bram.org/info/presentation/texte.htm

Annie Abrahams à Montpellier et Curt Cloninger à Asheville chanterons en direct pour une durée indéterminée “love”, “love”,  “love”[1], l’un à l’autre comme un genre de duet pop.
