SoundLab presents Daniel Maszkowicz
4–6pm Tuesday 9 April 2024 :: MultiMedia Theatre (M1060), Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre, City University of Hong Kong :: Registration LINKHERE.
Daniel Maszkowicz :: composer | performer | producer
Currently living in Ste-Croix but mostly performing in Geneva – Switzerland, Daniel Maszkowicz (Daniel Siemaszko) is at the same time engineering research scientist, curator for independent cinema, multidisciplinary performing artist, composer and producer. Having worked at CERN – European Center for Nuclear Research – he collected numerous field recordings from the fantastic machines he come across by wandering in the laboratories and abandoned tunnels.
Workshop
Introduction to Spatial Sound Synthesis with SuperCollider :: From simple multichannel expansion to azimuth panning and binaural rendering
This workshop, suited for neophytes and experts, will guide the audience step by step to the implementation of a binaural mosquito for best annoying our neighbours and loved ones. This hands-on workshop will give the tools to understand and run some basic codes for producing complex sounds with complex spatialization on various set-ups, from headphones to multichannel hemispheric rig.
Prior knowledge of programming is not necessary. Each Participant should bring a computer (Linux, MacOS, Windows) with an installation of the software that can be found on the following page: supercollider.github.io/downloads.
Performance
Data Sonification Live :: An Immersive Psychoacoustic Sound Performance Featuring Scientific Data, Algorithms, Digital Interactions.
Scientist-artist Daniel Maszkowicz (Daniel Siemaszko) is a Geneva-based research engineer, film programmer, multidisciplinary performer, composer and producer. Daniel Maszkowicz works with SuperCollider and with electrical machines that were once used in various laboratories. He creates multi-channel soundtracks with which he immerses his audience in a subtle hypnosis of low-frequency beats and sonified brainwaves. Co-founder of the electroacoustic jazz duo INFLUUT and electroacoustic duo Biblioteq Mdulair, his solo project KosmoSCore uses various types of sound immersions to create multichannel sound pieces.
Daniel Maszkowicz has presented his work internationally and has contributed to several original soundtracks and publications. He gives seminars with a view at the crossroads between science and art, involving the engineer and the artist. He has presented several sonifications of scientific data and autonomous sound installations with algorithmic musical compositions in several galleries.
