It's official. We LOVE Web Audio Conference!!! We did our first performance at WAC in 2024, and streamed the whole thing to Purdue University in West Lafayette (US), where the conference took place. Not quite meeting the 'zero carbon emission' standards (as we still used computers, internet, electricity, servers, etc.), but at least 'zero' in …
Sound Kitchen (SK) is one of our favourite events to perform at! It happens every 4 years as part of the Prague Quadrennial (which takes place in Prague), as well as every 4 years as part of the World Stage Design (which takes place in a different country each time and is organised by Organisation …
FLO is a global, multicultural, multidisciplinary project, and lots of our members work at academic institutions around the world and keep tabs on what's going on in their own country in terms of conferences and events that overlap with FLO activities. Ariane, for example, works at the Universidade Federal do Sul da Bahia and keeps …
After our first improvisational composition utilising chord sequences calculated by an IBM quantum computer titled 'Telematic City Jam - Glasgow' (which was broadcast as part of the Radiophrenia 2025 festival and, a few months later, on Resonance FM), we were invited to present the FLO project at the AES Europe 2025 taking place in Warsaw, …
We love the Radiophrenia project! It's a radio art collective, a festival and an art radio station (broadcasting intermittently across Glasgow on 87.9FM once per year), all rolled into one! Whenever we have something to contribute to their yearly festival broadcast, we send it in! Sometimes it fits with the theme of the festival, sometimes …
After our performance at WAC2024, during which we all used the Playsound.space Web Audio platform (developed by Ariane), we decided it would be prudent to test this kind of setup again, so we wrote a proposal to the IEEE International Symposium on the Internet of Sounds (IS2 2024) for another performance. When the proposal got …
After our performance collaboration with the Ethernet Orchestra at Sound Kitchen in 2022 in Calgary, Canada, we thought it would be fun to do another performance at the Web Audio Conference in 2024, taking place at Purdue University in West Lafayette, US. As we are pretty flexible in terms of instrumentation in FLO, and this …
We did our first Sound Kitchen performance in 2015 (as part of the Prague Quadrennial). To date, this remains one of FLO's favourite places to perform (both in-person and telematically) for 2 reasons: 1) Sound Kitchen rocks!!! It brings together such a variety of super-talented sound folks from around the globe, and 2) The team …
The Academy of the Arts Berlin (Akademie der Künste) is one of the oldest European cultural institutes, founded in 1696. It consists of six sections: Fine Arts, Architecture, Music, Literature, Performing Arts, Film and Media Art, and over the years, it served as a venue for exhibitions, events and performances and an important hub for …
Following on from the first performance collaboration with the awesome folks from the Ethernet Orchestra (EO), which took place at the Halfback Books & Records in Dee Why, Australia in 2019 (and was partly ‘co-located’ and partly ‘distributed’), and the 'telematic' remix we did for their album Oceans Reimagined in 2021, we thought it would …
