ARAR (Vasco Alves/Louie Rice) x Adam Asnan

ARAR will present a duo performance of modified electronics systems. Using two transistor radios receiving electro-magnetic pulses from pre-programmed patterns emitted from a drum machine, these rhtyhms are then manifested as amplified sound presented alongside a processed function generator, producing a set of pure test frequencies with direct intermittent disruption to the signal chain and heavy utilization of the stereo field.

Adam's contribution stems from a fascination with recorded sound, loudspeakers, and a notion of the acousmatic 'sound object'. On this occasion, Adam will use a simple range of recordings (recurrent or sustained gestures), derived from both acoustic and electronic sources, performed via a stereo amplifier and selection of small speaker drivers. Each speaker's response and condition will act as a basic pass-filter to the signal, that may be further manipulated by physical interaction or some other technological inadequacy.
