BlackBoxe, Paris.

17 rue de la Chapelle / 75018 Paris
After a meeting about new technologies, at the Blackboxe, you'll see a performance of Derek Holzer, ToneWheels (21h30/23h).
Derek Holzer is an American sound artist living in Berlin, whose current interests include DIY analog electronics, sound art, field recording and the meeting points of electroacoustic, noise, improv and extreme music. He has played live experimental sound, as well as taught workshops in noise art technology. He comes in Paris to present his project ToneWheels.
ToneWheels is an experiment in converting graphical imagery to sound, inspired by some of the pioneering 20th Century electronic music
inventions. Transparent tonewheels with repeating patterns are spun over light-sensitive electronic circuitry to produce sound and light pulsations and textures. This all-analog set is performed entirely live without the use of computers, using only overhead projectors as light source, performance interface and audience display. In this way, ToneWheels aims to open up the “black box” of electronic music and video by exposing the working processes of the performance for the audience to
see.
