INTER/actions will be a three-day symposium and mini-festival focusing on performance and interaction in electronic music. The aim is to provide an environment to exchange ideas and instigate collaborations for composers, performers, sound artists and music technologists interested in the role of the performer in electronic music, whether in the traditional sense, or audience-as-performer.

An interactive score turns the concert into live-event of a very special kind: Performer and composer process an interactive score on multiple iBooks and exert mutual influence on them. Atelier Avant Austria, composers and media artists Andreas Weixler & Se-Lien Chuang from Austria, are creating an interactive audiovisual performance together with an open ensemble by muscians of Bangor. The musical and visual components interact and reciprocally influence each other in order to blend into a unique, synaesthetic, improvisational work of art.

Denoising Field Recordings documents an early attempt at using denoising-techniques in a creative and compositional manner. Instead of utilising noise-reduction-algorithms for their intended purpose (the restoration of damaged audio signals), these processes are applied to various field recordings or live signals of trains, streets, swimminghalls and public transport. Due to the fact that these recordings consist entirely of noises this operation transforms the originals into an uncanny hybrid of newly introduced processing artefacts, occasional silence and sporadically audible traces of the original field recordings. What kind of sound-aesthetics can emerge while denoising field recordings? Which audible parameters are able to resist this »audio-erasement-process«? How are these traces comparable to the visual remanences of Robert Rauschenberg's erasure of a de Kooning drawing?
