He > also performs frequently in literary cabarets and media festivals, as > well as live-to-air. > > #2 Decomposing Spacetime by Non-linear Insertions of Waves of Sonic > Tension. > Jeroen Uyttendaele and Isjtar continue their symbiotic merger of sonic > material and strategies. > Discarding dichotomies as rhythm and texture, form and function, > digital and analogue, they seek to build arches of sonic tension. > > Isjtar makes electronic music and new media art. He has a profound > fascination for all things that underpin the mind, perception and > reality. When not lost in fantasies of the systems that surround us, > he translates this obsession into performances, installations and > music tracks, with an ever critical reflection and a corresponding > aesthetic. > He is a core-member of OKNO, Society of Algorithm, Code31 and works > with several other artists and collectives such as Jeroen Uyttendaele, > Shelbatra Jashari, Masato Tsutsui, Machine Centered Humanz and So-on. > He had a short and enriching affair with RITS radio, but got lost > deciphering reality. http://isjtar.org > > As a Master in Art Science student in Den Hague, Jeroen Uyttendaele > extends his experiments in sender-receiver feedback systems. By > integrating old fashioned, discarded technology with contemporary > digital techniques, he searches for new forms which are neither > nostalgic, nor blinded by cutting edge hype. He is a Master graduate > of RITS radio. > > ------------- > > Both performances will be realtime web-streamed.
