• LIVE PERFORMANCE: Team Doyobi
  'The Team Doyobi aesthetic is based around a merging of both old and new electronic / digital technologies. Largely eschewing the use of samples, they work instead via hand-drawn soundwaves and wave-form editing, generating loops through (often random) Amiga sequencing. Melodies are formed from gritty FX. Shifting and densely-layered. A stunning chaotic space of shifting, glitch-riddled electronics, machine chatter, foggy FX and juddering jerk beats.' (www.fat-cat.co.uk/splitart/splitart01/splitart07a.html) Team Doyobi are Alex Peverett and Chris Gladwin who will be performing with interactive video sequencing by James Brouwer. All students and graduates of Phonic Art and Time Based Media at Hull School of Art and Design.

• LIVE PERFORMANCE / Launch Night: Kaffe Matthews
  Noisy rhythms and abstract cyber landscapes - Kaffe's music defies the rules and regulations around sound and performance. She starts each show with no sound and grabs from what's there, making pieces crackling with digital tones and static., fizzing into pounding beats and cut to some hanging still space of beauty. The music is vast, sculpted into textual landscapes, vibrating granular technohymns and beats, via her on stage processing of sound from carefully placed microphones and an occasional violin.

• PRESENTATION: Digital Space #1 - Terre Thaemlitz, Kim Cascone, Julian Baker
  The Digital Space Programme is an ongoing project that aims to respond to the expectations of artists in the field of digital sound whilst also inspiring others to move into new territory. The first phase of the project culminates in the publication of a double CD+CD Rom package which contains new works by artists from around the world , some of who present their work in this discussion. The individual commissions within Digital Space are held together by the tension of diversity leaving the question of coherence and commonality open for the listener. The interactive CD ROM represents an opposite movement towards sound from visual art, computer programming and game design. Here the artists are working in an area where sound is suspended awaiting the input and response of the audience. Graphical interfaces provide a means through which to play the sound and present possibilities for controlling and creating sound and music in new ways.

It will include presentations from digital arts producer Terry Braun and curator Mike Stubbs concerning the possibilities and development of new media arts practice in the UK and beyond.
• LIVE PERFORMANCE: Kim Cascone
  Kim Cascone has been working on a triptych of computer music for the past 3 years. The first two releases "blueCube ()" and "cathodeFlower" were investigations into some compositional techniques he was developing at the time. His final installation of the triptych is titled "residualism" and takes these techniques in a somewhat different description. Instead of embracing long flowing works residualism contains smaller atomic pieces which can be combined and layered in any way for future projects. The inspiration from this came from when he was on holiday in Los Angeles. Walking into a clothing boutique here the owner had a popular sampling CD playing on the music system. Instead of hearing a composite, layered mix of these samples as typically used in techno compositions, everyone in the shop was enjoying a more "atomic" form of music. Instead of the parts making up the whole, the whole was the individual parts. "residualism" is an attempt to utilise this format to explore small units of sound information. "residualism" was developed for the Lovebytes Festival and is tentatively planned as a CD release on Mille Plateaux/Ritomell later this year. "blueCube ()" was released on Rastermusic in 1998 and "cathodeFlower" was released on Mille Plateaux/Ritomell in 1999.
