On Sunday April 4th I took part in Netrooms [for percussion].

This is an invitation for a special Netrooms performance Netrooms [for percussion]. The performance was commissioned by percussionist Jonathan Shapiro and will take place on Sunday 4th April at the Staller Center music wing, Room 0111 (choral room) at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, NY

Netrooms [for percussion]
Pedro Rebelo, 2009

Netrooms [for percussion] explores the sound of a local percussionist as it travels through various acoustic environments. Each participant will set up a microphone capturing a space as nearby  loudspeakers stream the sound of each percussion instrument. Please choose unique and perhaps extreme acoustic spaces such as bathrooms, concert halls, outdoors, domestic spaces, outdoors etc…
Participants will not be required to produce sound but incidental sound from the environment is welcome…

Tim Devine and I made 4 improvisations for the radiospotting project in Linz, Austria which is taking place Sep 11 – Oct 31 2009.  Small radio transmitters tuned to 103Mhz are situated at multiple locations around the city and participants are encouraged to bicycle about the city with portable radios.

Writers and musicians collaborated on each space, with the writer’s text used as inspiration for locational compositions.

We developed and improvised 4 pieces for Pure Data, Roland drum pad, and electric guitar:

this album is an exercise in spontaneity. what can we do with 1 microphone, 2 days, and no experience playing together? the title is correct as 80% of the tracks are first takes, the rest being 2nds.

At the beginning of my Art and Technology masters program, all of the new students were required to present both their background and their work.

I made a music video for “The Sloppy Bytes” (4 of me) in one night as part of my presentation.

A simple blue screen using the color test of a projector provided the back drop and my friend Daniel provided the DV camera.

“sloppy” is the theme as I am tired of digital music being “perfect”
