i say:
characterizations about the externalization of memory and the problem of re-presentation. with memory removed from the embodied self, there is an erosion of personal autonomy (the external localized memory is the technological network -- which is not a network after all, but a lateral hierarchy). the act of placing memory externally reifies what would be an internally dynamic condition of evolutionary presence.

material limitations aside, neoscenes works in a variety of sonic and moving visual mediums since first picking up a Bolex 16mm camera in the 70's. after some inspiring studies with experimental film-maker, Stan Brakhage, and video artist Janice Tanaka, whenever moving image equipment is available, neoscenes makes good use of it. the latest work takes the form of more complex live and live-streamed improv re-mixes from the sizeable neoscenes archive of audio and video material. samples of those streams are found under the specific project pages which are still under construction...
selected audio works:
a special live/streamed event, radio aporee presents flickering wastelands III in its long-standing open-house tradition. good foods, good sounds, good people. part of the 48-Stunden-(Berlin-)Neukölln Kunst und Kulturfestival. neoscenes, fresh back from many weeks on the road in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona will take you, with hydrocarbons flaring, on a drifting trajectory through spaces that dwell restlessly between ears and leave traces of soot, soil, and water.

Udo Noll, the impelling force behind aporee maps invites me to participate. no hesitation. it's a realization of a long-running idea of his to place sounds and to be able to receive those placed sounds. a convergence of his prodigeous programming skills, his imagination, available technologies, and some enthusiastic participants makes this an exemplary project that is still actively developing new aspects. do a search on neoscenes, and stay tuned!
one component of the massive neoscenes travelog/blog is a collection of ambient remixes of the various sonic stimulations based on local listening positions that are ever-changing in movement. in 2008 I shifted this work to aporee maps (above)
