June 8, 2010 – LSR – 8:30PM – NTSC (Dieb 13 + Billy Roisz) + DIDI BRUCKMAYR + DIEB 13 & MARTIN TETREAULT
NTSC (Dieb 13 + Billy Roisz)
NotTheSameColor is a live video-sound-duo by dieb13 and Billy Roisz.
The setup consists of various audio and video instruments,
connected in a way that allows multiple ways of feedback and physical interaction.
Audio and video signals leave their domain to get a new function and meaning.
Sound causes images and video signal can be heard. The speaker and the screen
finally define whether a signal will appear audible or visible.
Thus, signal routing becomes an integral element of the creative process.
The instruments are partly self built
(e.g. ultrasonic sound-/video- synthesizer and “embedded” mini-computer).
The linux-based sound-software is self-written.
NTSC is a continuously developing project about interactions between sound and video
off the well beaten paths of computer analysis and synthesis in a live context.
dieb13: turntables, computer, devices
Billy Roisz: videomixers, audiomixer, videosynth
Austrian artists Billy Roisz and dieb13 have freed themselves from the real and the title of their performance, “NotTheSameColor” evokes the relativity of the control they have over images as well as the sounds they generate by inter-connecting cameras, monitors, record players and other synthesizers. Their favorite material is none other than noise; noise in images, noise in sound, the noise we ordinarily flee from, the noise that is characteristic of the between; between two television sets or between two radios. And it is the same forces, the same energies that generate images and sounds by partially escaping the control of the two performers. Forces or energies of mysterious origin that Nam June Paik was already tracking in the 1960´s by mistreating television sets in subjecting them to electromagnetic fields. There is in fact something strange, something hypnotic in the incessant flux of vertical sweeps that succeed one another at thirty images a second according to the NTSC video standard; sweeps that are truly never “the same colour”.

MARTIN TETREAULT
Martin Tétreault, an internationally-renowned Montréal DJ and improviser, originally came from the milieu of the visual arts. His path has been marked out by various productions on compact disc and live performances with a range of collaborators: Diane Labrosse, René Lussier, Jean Derome, Michel F Côté, I8U, Otomo Yoshihide, Kevin Drumm, Xavier Charles, Ikue Mori, and many more. He has abandoned the musical citation that he had been using in his work since he began in 1985 and now explores the intrinsic qualities of the turntable: the sound of the motor, of interference, and so on. He also uses needles, prepared surfaces (with thanks to John Cage), and small electronic instruments. The bruitiste approach of remaining analogical has allowed him to leave behind the question “But what about copyright?” and to get himself invited to electronic music events! When he feels the need for a break from music, he goes back to the visual arts, where he sands, scrapes, cuts up books and magazines, and so on.
