Hackoustic Presents

Hackoustic is a hacking group dedicated to exploring acoustics and instrument building. We run a host of different types of events related to acoustic hacking, including festivals, workshops and talks. We also appear as part of  larger events and venues such as the Tate Modern, the V&A, Cafe Oto, the Elephant and Castle Maker Faire among others. Our goal is to provide a platform for sonic-hackers of all kinds, from musical instrument builders to sound-artists to present their work to the general public.

We have duo Dr Amy Cutler and Scott Pitkethly aka RAVINE/MACHINE playing their unique performance of Ritual projection and sonic illuminations; CRAIG SCOTTS LOBOTOMY is bringing some of his feedback mobiles and sonic machines; Hannah Kemp-Welch will be showcasing her research into DIY antennas and radio receivers! There will be additional hands on installations from Vulpestruments and a HUGELY welcome return to our wonderful house DJ #BARRYSLOUNGE<a href="https://amycutler.net/ravine-machine" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RAVINE/MACHINE</a>RAVINE/MACHINE’s set begins with a Kodak carousel slide projector. Using the idiosyncrasies of the carousel machine’s processes – the rumble of the slide tray/magazine, the flicker of the light shutter and the rotating air fan – Scott Pitkethly and Amy Cutler create familiar and unfamiliar worlds. Drawing on Barthes’ concept of shimmering images, these constructions build illusive landscapes in the bringing together of sound and vision.<a href="https://www.sound-art-hannah.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Hannah Kemp-Welch</a>Hannah Kemp-Welch is a sound artist with a socially-engaged practice. She produces audio installations, radio broadcasts and online artworks, often with community groups, using voices, field recordings and found sounds. She also produces zines and builds basic radios, aiming to open out sonic practices and technologies for all. Hannah is currently conducting PhD research into voices and socially-engaged art, based at CRiSAP (Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice), University of the Arts London.Hannah will present her experiments with homemade antennas and radio receivers, including adaptations of crystal radios and induction loops that hear the earth's natural radio. She’ll share designs and ideas as well as recordings made in remote locations using these no-power radio receivers, made from found objects and simple materials. Hannah is a member of Shortwave Collective, an international, feminist artist group interested in the radio spectrum as artistic material.<a href="https://www.craigscottslobotomy.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Craig Scotts Lobotomy</a>Craig Scott is a composer, improvising guitarist and sound artist.
