Plutopia 2010:
The Science of Music

Monday, March 15, 2010
Mexican American Cultural Center
Austin, TX

This year’s Plutopian theme explores the role of technology, sound and digital media in changing the landscape and narrative of music in the information age.


The science refers to everything from immersive listening and the expanding of audio boundaries and experimentation, to new forms of instrumentation, sampling and remixing and emerging creative processes; and from integrated multi-sensory systems and interfaces with intelligent networks, to the transformation of aesthetics and the changing rhythm of nature.

Out of Context – Experimental Music Podcasts

Calling Out Of Context Season

This special edition of The Experiment comes from the ICA Upper Galleries in London, where over eight furiously fulfilling days a temporary recording studio was set up as part of the Calling Out Of Context Season. Listen to tracks from each of the eight days that were conjured up from scratch by participants – either in live collaborative form or solo sample based endeavors with the assistance of Charles Poulet, James Oglivey and Manuel Mera on engineering duties. The podcast begins with a short discussion with Charles, Manuel and the ICA’s music curator Jamie Eastman before providing for your listening enjoyment tracks from sessions curated by Gravid Hands and The Experiment itself – and then work taken from sessions with Michachu, Seb Rochford/Drew McConnell/Pamelia Kurstin,Alexander Tucker, Actress/Lukid from Werk Discs, Woebot and About.

The Experiment would also like to take this opportunity to thank participants from its own curated recording studio session – a wonderful day of cakes and culinary creativity of the highest caliber. !POWER POWER!.

The Experiment is a monthly podcast commissioned by the ICA and presented and produced by Kevin Quigley. Calling Out Of Context was a nine-day season of experimental music and sound at the ICA in conjunction with Jamie Eastman and Charles Poulet.
