*Bell is a sound installation by Tad Ermitaño that revisits the principle of transduction – the process of converting one type of energy into another – as a field of sonic exploration. Ermitaño’s work abandons the use of prefabricated speakers and surrounds the audience with a curved wall of metal suspended from the ceiling, which is then vibrated by electromagnets driven by high-voltage audio signals. Sounds ripple, bounce, and interfere within the wall before being released into the air. Bell, - a title that recalls both the object and the inventor of the speaker - imagines an alternate reality where the speaker is not as a transparent transmitter of sonic content, but an instrument of architectural proportions.

**Insonoresonance
Sebastian Szczyrk (Paris) and Tengal, etc
Sebastian Szczyrk, the creator of the project, Un Escargot Vide? is a French artist whose visual research (drawings, illustrations, performances) to sound experimentations (CD, concerts, installations) reach a diffusive panorama. As the festival’s residency artist, he’ll conduct a month long field research on public memory, urban structures and sound ecology. Insonoresonance is a result of various collaborations with local artists in Manila, which are presented in various outputs: as an installation for an exhibition, a cd, and series of computer drawings, and urban space intervensions. The work questions the viewer’s perception - the truth of representation - outlining a journey from the initial visioning of a series of “audio memories” with synthetic images and ending up in an encounter with a physical interactive object which co-opts information flows, sound and light transmission.

***Autoceremony's live set up at Fete dela WSK.

Formed in 2005, autoceremony is a solo project-studio effort of Jing Garcia as a creative musical outlet that spawned from his earlier experimental soundart group Dominguez-Shimata.Colony (est.1995) and The Children of Cathode Ray (est.1989), one of the earliest experimental soundart groups in the country.

FROM HERE TO EAR is on display until Nov 26 at Outerspace Gallery. For more details visit www.wskfete.com

Featured Site : BOOKCROSSING.COM

BookCrossing encourages everyone to read, register, and release books for others to enjoy. It is a celebration of literature and a place where books get new life. BookCrossing is the act of giving a book a unique identity so, as the book is passed from reader to reader. After you've labeled your book, it is ready to travel the world. According to the site, there are different ways to share your book:

"Give it away. Pass your book on to a friend, a stranger, a strange friend, or a friendly stranger! You can find someone in the BookCrossing community who's looking for your book and make their day by sending it to them. These particular methods are referred to as “controlled releases", because you know the destination of your book’s next stop.

Release it into the wild. Referred to as the "wild release" (and loved by so many BookCrossers), this type of sharing is a bit like nudging a baby bird out of the nest or sending your kid off to college. Your book doesn’t want to spend its life on your shelf gathering dust; it wants to get out there and touch lives! So leave your labeled book on a park bench on a summer day, in a train station, on the table in your favorite coffee shop -- anywhere it’s likely to be caught by another delighted reader. Then come back and read about your book’s new adventures!

Be Creative! BookCrossers find a myriad of creative ways to exchange books and make new connections! They might establish an "Official BookCrossing Zone" (known as an OBCZ); a physical location where books are regularly caught and/or released. They may start a "bookring", "bookray", or "bookbox", all of which are controlled ways of passing books throughout a set group of members. Many create "wishlists" to solicit books they'd like to read. We suggest you join now, release a book, and dive into the wonderful world of BookCrossing!"

Active | De-Active: Inventive Music Festival

Active | De-Active is an international festival to be held in the Philippines that focuses on two exciting frontiers of music — experimental and improvised music. The event is scheduled to take place this coming October 9, 12, 13, 15 and 16 at various selected venues in Cavite, Manila and Davao.

The festival will consist of a series of live performances, workshops, presentation of methods and practices, creative collaborations and artist-talks by international and local participating artists, in an effort to present and exchange artistic ideas and musical experiences that will contribute to the appreciation and understanding of these developments in new music.

This will provide a platform for informed discussions of the cultural, developmental and educational aspects of improvisation and experimentation in music, and at the same time to present the artistic or technical practices embodied in it. The festival is also an attempt to gather a community of experimental musicians, improvisers, new media art practitioners, musicologists, and teachers who can share and exchange knowledge that would benefit the understanding of improvised and experimental music.
