Cult of graa> - Niklas Reppel
'Cult of graa>' is an umbrella term for instant composing performances, coded live and from scratch with the aid of the 'graa>' mini-language.
The 'graa>' language is a self-developed, Python-based domain specific language for the rapid creation and manipulation of directed graphs, Markov chains and other stochastic processes. Thus, it incorporates non-deterministic elements in its very foundations, and the challenge for the performer lies in juggling with a bunch of musical objects, each of which behaves unpredictable to a certain amount, without drifting into complete randomness.

Tim Shaw and John Bowers
Drawing on Soviet experiments in image/sound translation and esoteric theories of correspondence, Shaw and Bowers have created a number of devices with which they will physically investigate local geological materials from the surrounding Sheffield area. The varying textures, colours and structures of the rocks will be directly translated to sound through the audification of variably illuminated microscopic images and spectral reflections. Live feeds from microscopes and various sound generation techniques will allow this cross-sensory performance to provide an expanded sense of the carboniferous. Part of the evening programme of the Sonic Pattern symposium.

Phantasmata–xname
xname is Eleonora Oreggia, a multimedia artist born in Milan and currently based in London. Her live performances are developed through the use of artificial lights and home-made micro-oscillators which generate sound waves. The light, transformed in electric current, passes through the circuit and exits in the shape of a sonic frequency, while the sound, modulated by manipulating the light sources, becomes tactile and synesthetic. The result is an hypnotic spectacle dominated by stroboscopy and industrial and noise-techno frequencies. Part of the evening programme of the Sonic Pattern symposium.
