No Tillakaratne this year, however, the lineup is complete and the best yet!

Tillakaratne is proud to support Australian sound artist Ross Manning at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery this Sunday (4th April) from 8:00pm. Saidwards is busy powering up the machines in time for the fun. Details on the poster.

Great Radiohead cover by James Houstoun using: Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Epson LX-81 Dot Matrix Printer, HP Scanjet 3c, Hard Drive array, and noisy vocals. The beginning is fantastic and then it gets a bit poppy and recognisable. (c/o Evan at Grooveshark).

Mains Hum, a performance by Pete Gorman at the Dunedin Art School on 10.09.2009 from 12:00-12:30 (10 minute field recording by Tillakaratne).

Raymond Scott's Circle machine (c/o sam)

This device is what I’ve named THE CIRCLE MACHINE. The intensity of each light in this circle is individually adjustable. At the tip of the arm there is a photo cell. This cell is a part of an electronic sound generating system, so adjusted that the more light the cell ‘sees’ the higher the pitch of the sound produced. The cell also moves around in a circle at adjustable speeds. One of the controls, above the circle of lights, changes the pitch center of the complete cycle when required. As you will notice, there are many variable functions possible. Here is a demonstration of an electronic effect possible with THE CIRCLE.MACHINE

A beautiful atmospheric, fielding recording noise piece found at SilenceRadio.
