Marine, A little lexicon | Rodolphe Blois | Aust | 2000
A meditation about water in the form of a lexicon of water sounds and wet, water related words. Water is both modulated - electroacoustically - and the modulator. Words spoken in water (an impossible feat) appropriately gurgle, bubble, create a somewhat tragi-comic babble and drown.
Rodolphe Blois is an author of sounds, an acousmatician and a sound environmentalist. His work explores diverse issues in electroacoustic and sound ecology; a "cinema for the ear", the relationship between acoustic and electroacoustic sounds, silence and the immersion of electroacoustic sounds in the wilderness. rblois@hotmail.com

Corroded Grooves | Chris Henschke | Aust | 2000
In the 'Digital dialectic', Katherine Hayles proposes the breaking down of culturally imposed structuralist dichotomies such as information? materiality, pattern? randomness, information? noise etc. Entitled "Corroded Grooves", the installation consists of two phono turntables, a computer, a monitor, audio speakers and a mixing console. The (hidden) computer plays a variety of samples taken from the turntables which have been digitally manipulated to create (occasionally fragmented) minimal rhythms, melodies, and bass tones.
Chris Henschke is a digital artist who has been working with interactive multimedia since 1993. He has an Associate Diploma of Arts in Electronic Design and Interactive Media at RMIT, and is presently studying for a Masters by Research in Animation and Interactive Media at RMIT.Chaososcillator@netscape.net
