FEEDBACK Visual Howl & Reflexive Music

  In 2004 an international array of musicians toured the UK under the
umbrella title of Feedback – Order from Noise. Included in the tour
was Toshimaru Nakamura with his No Input Mixing Desk who performed with
Billy Roisz who played live with video feedback. Coinciding with their
visit to Hull (Monday 16th April at Timebase, High Street) this
programme brings together a number of works that exploit both the
conceptual and expressive qualities of feedback, plus a new live
performance work by Pete McPartlan.

NOTES ON A LINE David Leister UK, 1987, sound, B&W, 12 mins, 16mm
Featuring Aleks Kolkowski (violin) and Alex Maguire (piano) recorded on

PHASED TIME2 David Hall UK, 1974, sound, colour, 12 mins, 16mm
Systems music for film. Each of six two minute sections of a pan
around a room and with synthesiser and organ notes are matted and

shifts.
