“Isn’t it strange that in the second world war, computer technology was used to aid and abet the military-industrial complex, but by the end of our century, that technology has mutated, devolved and diversified to such a degree that Afro-American musicians, young Black British musicians can use computer technology to construct a soundtrack to the end of the industrial epoch.”

—Black Audio Film Collective, The Last Angel of History

FILM SCREENING 8PM/DJ SET from I RORY 9PM till close…

The Last Angel of History is a free-form film-essay that weave’s an intricate web of African mythology, science fiction, technology and sound culture, into a compelling work of cinematic theory-fiction.

Made in the 1996 by Jon Akomfrah, and the Black Audio Film Collective, the highly acclaimed short film has been described as “a truly masterful film essay about Black aesthetics that traces the deployments of science fiction within pan-African culture” by the Harvard Film Archive.

We will be screening the film at 8 PM followed by a DJ SET from the CSSA’s own I Rory inspired by the sonic lines-of-flight explored in the film!

Showing: 2-31 July, 2015
Opening: Thursday 2nd July, 6-8pm

Continuous Flow Machines is an 8 channel 3rd order ambisonic soundscape (60’00’’) recorded at the Pfleiderer Institute for Fluid Machinery, Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany and reproduced in the Auricle’s 8.1 ambisonic surround sound Gallery.

Listen to the unremarkable stasis of steady flow, moving aimlessly forward in always new sound layers by gradual compression and uncompression, speaking for nothing other than itself.

German composer, sonic artist and musicologist Clemens von Reusner studied percussion with Abbey Rader and Peter Giger, has been engaged in electronic music and soundscape composition since the 1970’s, and developed the pioneering graphical scoring application Kandinsky Music Painter.
