AUGB: Live as a routing engine to control multiple mediums

Dear AUGB-members,

For the upcoming meeting we have a very special guest from Canada, Nafis, a.k.a. LiveCube. His project includes major cross-functions of audio, visuals, lights, motion and space. He will show us his approach of how to use Ableton as a routing engine to present shows – optimising & controlling multiple mediums. Followed by a showcase to demonstrate it in real time.

The LiveCube project operates on the approach of optimisation as a routing + processing tool. Currently, the technical aspect includes running audio, visuals and lights as a cohesive unit glued together by Ableton Live. This talk will focus on the development process of this production. Some broad areas of discussion would be the workflow, templates for live shows + productions, automations as primary control parameters etc; along with some nifty tricks such as using loopers as a live tool, a live FX rack, an automated live drum rack etc. There will also be some discussions on going beyond musical ideas and focusing on light automations / audio-reactive lights, visual triggers, alternative controllers etc.

About:
LiveCube is the moniker and brainchild of Nafis, who has been working in the live scene in South Asia for over 15 years as the founder of his previous entertainment company LiveSquare. His years of experience as an artist, creative director and arts entrepreneur is being amalgamated into this project. You may define it as an arts production, a live arts company, an installation or an artist or character. The project includes major cross-functions of audio, visuals, lights, motion and space. Therefore, it is hard to put into a certain ‘labelled box’, hence the title ‘Live’Cube. He is currently in Berlin under the Border Movement Residency supported by Musicboard Berlin, Goethe Institut, Ableton & Native Instruments. The prime aim is to explore the possibilities and design his first original production with both a live version and a multimedia installation. Alongside music, he is an enthusiast of allied arts and technology, constantly seeking to include new approaches and executions to his concepts.

Come and see, what is possible and bring your questions with you 🙂

We look forward to meeting you,
Maya & Brian

🎉 Get ready for an evening of excitement and engagement!
Introducing Game-Changers: The Game, a public storytelling board game that blurs the lines between reality and simulation. The stage is set for a clash between Capitalists and Commoners as they battle it out to seize the hottest buzzwords of the new economy. And that’s not all – enter the interactive audience, known as “peerticipants”, who have the power to shape the game’s outcome in real time.
In the game, two teams that embody seemingly opposite discursive poles – for example Capitalism vs. Commonism, Green Growth vs. Degrowth, or Vectoralists vs. the Hacker Class – compete in creating compelling storylines about transformation in order to lay claim to playing fields consisting of real-world “new economy” initiatives and related ideas.
To create these stories, the teams must use the Challenge and Intervention cards available to them at a given time or respond to the cards already linked to particular playing fields. Another, third set of cards, Wildcards, is composed of “external” events which can offer unique windows of opportunity for either team or skew the balance in a number of ways.
Audiences (peerticipants) evaluate the players’ storylines in real time and, in doing so, affect their chance of success. As a peerticipant, you also have the option to contribute prompt cards (prior to or during the event) for the players, making the game a dynamic knowledge commoning and scenario-building tool.
