»Recombinant Media Lab CineChamber«

CineChamber is both an instrument and a presentation platform; an audiovisual surround technology that immerses us in new worlds of sound and images and can be ‘performed’ live as an AV instrument. A whole array of new pieces has been specially commissioned for the ECAS tour of the CineChamber. These new works are presented, along with featured material from the already abundant archive, at ECAS member festivals in Germany and Austria during 2011.

It is a co-production by ECAS / ICAS (European and International Cities of Advanced Sound), CTM Festival / Berlin, The Generator Foundation (Den Haag), Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau e.V./ CYNETART (Dresden), ORF / Musikprotokoll (Graz), and Cimatics (Brussels). With the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union. The CineChamber at CTM.11 was additionally funded by the Stiftung Deutsche Klassenlotterie Berlin.

In cooperation with the ECAS (European Cities of Advanced Sound) network, Signal, Monolake and Tarik Barri (Monolake Live), Deadbeat and Lillevan and Edwin van der Heide were commissioned to develop new works especially for the RML CineChamber in its Berlin incarnation. The new compositions were developed as first versions in progress during the course of January as the system was set up for several weeks before moving into the HAU theatre.

RML Cinechamber

CineChamber is both an instrument and a presentation platform; an audiovisual surround technology that immerses us in new worlds of sound and images and can be ‘performed’ live as an AV instrument. A whole array of new pieces has been specially commissioned for the ECAS tour of the CineChamber. These new works are presented, along with featured material from the already abundant archive, at ECAS member festivals in Germany and Austria during 2011.

California-based RML’s European CineChamber is an immersive, self-contained space conceived as a mobile environment and incubator for multimedia works. These range from wrap-around synaesthetics to telegenic performance settings, and from real-time interactive installations with live music to pre-programmed exhibition screenings.

The 8×12 meter chamber is walled by 10 large-scale screens, features 8.8.2 multi – channel sound and a custom-applied kinetic floor vibration units. This full AV CineChamber can be ‘played’ or manipulated live, and gives artists the opportunity to extend their range of aural, optical and cinematic expression. Numerous artists have already crossed paths with the California editions of the CineChamber, and its companion underground San Francisco location at the Compound, including Pansonic, Ryoji Ikeda, Matmos, Maryanne Amacher, Thomas Brinkmann, Pole, Kode 9, Chris Watson, and many more.

It is a co-production by ECAS / ICAS (European and International Cities of Advanced Sound), CTM Festival / Berlin, The Generator Foundation (Den Haag), Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau e.V./ CYNETART (Dresden), ORF / Musikprotokoll (Graz), and Cimatics (Brussels). With the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union. The CineChamber at CTM.11 was additionally funded by the Stiftung Deutsche Klassenlotterie Berlin.
