The monthly audio-video jam session/love in that is OUTPOST is on from 8:30pm Wednesday 27th of May at Bar Open.

Be sure to bring your devices down for a play or just bring yourselves for a tech perve and a tasty beverage.

Straight outta Adelaide, we are delighted to have a feature slot from v-tar wielding video and sound artist Lynne Sanderson (VJ Sustenance), who came and jammed with the OUTPOST/Plug'n'Play collectives for last years Digital Fringe webcast on mogulus.

Based in Adelaide, Lynne has been entertaining clubbers with her original style of layered visuals since 1992. From small to large shows, some of the highlights have included Dave Clarke and Aphex Twin. She has also crossed over to corporate shows such as the launch of the Adelaide Film Festival 2005 and was resident at the Adelaide Festival's Persian Garden 2006/08. Lynne’s obsession with more fluid performative control led her to create the v-tar, a visual controller in the shape of a flying v guitar.

Over the years, Lynne also has led a parallel life as a media artist. Her artworks are interactive and involve the participation of the public. She has exhibited extensively including MTV Australia, the Museum of Modern Art NYC, ISEA95 Montreal, Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art, Sydney Opera House, Biennale of Electronic Art Perth (BEAP) and the New Forms Festival, Vancouver, Canada.

After many years of collaborations and conversations with musicians, Lynne has decided to try her hand at creating audio. Over the last month Lynne has been creating dark, minimal beats using a Nintendo DS.

For her show at Share Outpost she will be triggering aspects of both the audio and visual on the v-tar. Lynne is experimenting with the live implementation and performance of these mediums. She is exploring the process of what is it to create sound from a visual perspective. This is her AV debut and a work in progress.

cool. come say hi. I'll probably be wearing my glasses.

Greetings OUTPOST friends,

We have some great solo sets lined up for OUTPOST this Wednesday June 24th at Bar Open - hope to see you down there to support these great artists.

'Allotrope' Peter Knight, trumpet and laptop electronics
Live sampling and processing of micro sound worlds created using the trumpet - stretched and squashed with Ableton Live. A new solo project from Melbourne composer and trumpeter, Peter Knight.

Peter began developing digital environments to extend his improvisatory practice during a recent composer’s residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada where the work was premiered. His solo work continues, albeit tangentially, his preoccupation with space, understatement, and long form structure and draws inspiration from diverse sources.

We are also very excited to present a feature set from modular synth enthusiast Scott Baker (aka. Abre Ojos) playing improvised sound and video for dystopian meditation.

As always, new players/projectors are most welcome so tell your friends and..
Bring your gear and have no fear!

Get yourselves down to 317 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy on Wednesday June 24th from 8:30pm - entry is free and beverages are a flowin'.

Cheers,
the Outpost Collective

tonight

OUTPOST are very pleased to have modular synth meister Scott Baker (aka abre ojos) performing at this month's OUTPOST event - Wednesday July 29 from 8:30 p.m. at Bar Open.

Scott Baker, who after apprenticing under Alan Lamb and learning the power of the drone creates improvisations of dense tangible noise from an analogue modular synthesiser with live visuals inspired by zombies films, conspiracy theories and hidden truths. abre ojos is a Portuguese sailing term when moving through dangerous waters meaning "watch out" or "open your eyes".

Apologies for putting Scott on the bill for last month's mail-out, he was actually booked for this month's event and is really looking forward to playing - cheers Scotty!

Head over to the OUTPOST site to check out some sound/video of abre ojos.

Jammers bring your gear and get it on... we are going to be posting the jams from this event on. Please post/circulate the details of this event to anyone you feel may be interested.

Cheers
the OUTPOST Collective

yes.
