4shrooms

Doris + Jan return from Meran, Italy, where we performed a sort of mini-shrooms (2shrooms?) show in support of the various other artists.

This included 2 technical workshops on PureData, a program for driving electronic music and visuals, etc. We had to be very careful because our analogue visuals easily dominated and destroyed the delicate digital fabrics.  See left.  Also, support for acoustical musicians and a drum/percussion group called LoA.

Koloman was the documentor for the event, and took lots of video of the 4shrooms visuals.  He has offered to do a clip, but we have to provide some soundtrack:  Watch this space for a call for the musical 4shroomies to get together and jam.

The trip there was funded by the new Verein running the space!  They paid for a bus to transport a group of Vienna artists for the week.  They also paid for a fantastic stage-roof that could be raised and lowered on demand.  Very high-tech, and incongruent amongst the other handmade projects.
