MTF Paris
IRCAM, Centre Pompidou. 21-23 November 2014
During the weekend of 21-23 November, IRCAM - Centre Pompidou became a creative playground for experimentation with new music technologies and new ideas for music performance. Everything was allowed: hacking into existing controllers, collaborating with professional musicians, experimenting with new ideas in situ, impromptu jumping onto the stage. The Music Tech Fest “Gunk” (Geek Punk) ethos is all about being totally hands-on with technology, rough and ready with noise making, and experimental with the immediacy of self-expression. We do not encourage smoothing over cracks, fixing it in the mix, or autotuning. Nothing is a mistake and there are no rehearsals. But you can always expect a few surprises.
