Macro-Phone live at Salon Bruit
24 October 22.00

Collaborative sound performance created using a mobile phone and a Kaoss Pad effects processor.

The audience is invited to use their own phones as microphones and contribute their voice real-time to the installation dialing a special number. Their sound might get looped, sampled, distorted, or played live just once.

In Macrophone both the audience and the performer become part of a feedback loop, where the content is created by the audience and the structure (and speed) is controlled by the performer. What will become of the sound? How will the "actual" live voices interact with the "virtual" sampled copies?
Will there be a point when the seemingly open structure will close down "satisfied" with just replicating itself?

About Dee Mee Tree:

Origins...
In Greek mythology Demeter ("distribution-mother") is the goddess of grain and fertility, the pure nourisher of the youth and the green earth, the health-giving cycle of life and death, and preserver of marriage and the sacred law. She is invoked as the "bringer of seasons" in the Homeric hymn, a subtle sign that she was worshipped long before she was made one of the Olympians. She and her daughter Persephone were the central figures of the Eleusinian Mysteries that also predated the Olympian pantheon.

Her Roman equivalent is Ceres, from whom the word "cereal" is derived

Biography...
Dee Mee Tree (Dmitry Paranyushkin), originally from Russia, moved to Berlin two years ago attracted by the special creative atmosphere in the city, which has been inspiring artists since the twenties and was famously nicknamed "Berliner Luft". Using his previous background in theater, music, and expressionist butoh dance, he created a solid body of work, spanning from electro beatbox extravaganza to trashy burlesque performances.

While the psychedelic fumes in the "air" of the reckless city were feeding his creative side, Dee Mee Tree has also been rigorously researching schizophrenic internet browsing patterns, cybernetics, and neural networks. His recent projects merge all these influences into a purposefully incoherent and volatile whole. Think of it as Psychic TV combined with contemporary dance, Stanislavsky system, and Russian futurism – all Googled live by an ADD patient.

Dee Mee Tree's latest projects include a collaborative internet guide to similar things – http://thisislike.com and his new piece "I did this for you to like me" to be premiered at Act Art festival. .
