at The BOX Club
in Frankfurt.AT THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCES, STATION ROSE CREATES "A VIRTUAL
ROOM WITHIN A ROOM" BY MEANS OF SOUND
AND PROJECTION SURFACES. THIS ROOM CONSISTS EXCLUSIVELY OF BEAMS AND PROJECTION
SURFACES ONTO WHICH VISUALS ARE THROWN. THESE IMAGES ARE DOWNLOADED
AND EDITED LIVE ON THE COMPUTER. THE LIVE MUSIC CONSISTS OF SOUND
SAMPLES FROM THE DIGITAL ARCHIVE OF STATION ROSE WHICH ARE COMBINED INTO
COMPOSITIONS ON THE SEQUENCER. THE TECHNO LIVE ARTIST MOVES
HIS STUDIO TO THE "STAGE" FOR THE PERFORMANCE AND CREATES NEW
VARIATIONS ON HIS SEQUENCES, NEW TONES, TEMPORAL STRUCTURES AND LOOPS IN
REALTIME. THE STYLE OF MUSIC IS BEST DESCRIBED AS PSYCHEDELIC TECHNO.
WITH ISDN, A REALTIME CONNECTION IS CREATED WITH The INTERNET & THE
E-MAIL NETWORK "THE WELL" IN CALIFORNIA, OF WHICH STATION ROSE
HAS BEEN A MEMBER SINCE 1991. THIS NETWORK ALLOWS USERS AROUND THE GLOBE
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT. A CU See Me CONNECTION WITH
VARIOUS PEOPLE WORLDWIDE IS SET UP. CHANGES WILL TAKE PLACE DURING THE PERFORMANCE,
THEREBY CHANGING THE AESTHETICS OF THE VIRTUAL LIGHT SPACE; INFORMATION
WILL FLOW THROUGH THE INTERNET ONTO THE WALLS ILLUMINATED WITH COMPUTER
EMISSIONS. THE NETWORKING PROCESS CAN BE OBSERVED ON THE PROJECTION SURFACES
AS A FURTHER OPTICAL ELEMENT.
