 Dear all!

 Regards from a rainy London. How long yet for the spring to bloom?

 This year I celebrate 10 years since I became a practitioner in this
thing we call art.

 In the hope to celebrate the whole year long, here's a first taste of
what will be coming up in 2014.

 This message is sent by hand, only every 6 months, if I'm clever. 

 If you received this it's because we happened to talk or work
together at some point. However, if you don't like this, feel free to
unsubscribe at the bottom, and please forgive me for the annoyance.

 Thanks for reading.

 sincerely yours,

 Marco Donnarumma

 **Watch Ominous, an incarnated sound sculpture

 Watch the new video of Ominous

, the incarnated sound sculpture I recently performed at ICT & Art
Connect event at Watermans Centre, in London, UK. This new piece for
the Xth Sense plays with the audience perception, creating the
illusion of an invisible object molded by whole-body gestures. It is
the natural sound of my muscles and its virtual counterpart that blend
together into an unstable sonic object. This oscillates between a
state of high density and one of violent release. As the listeners
imagine the object’s shape by following my gesture, the sonic
stimuli induce a perceptual coupling. The listeners see through sound
the sculpture which their sight cannot perceive.

 On 8-9 March, Reverse Space hosts an Xth Sense workshop on
biophysical interactive music and video. During this intensive 2-days
course, participants make their own Xth Sense wearable biosensor for
interactive sound and video. The Xth Sense is a biotechnology that
uses bioacoustic sounds from human bodies for creative digital
interaction. The applications of the Xth Sense are manifold: from
complex gestural interaction with audio synthesis and sampling,
through generation of bioacoustic music, to bodily performance of
extended traditional instruments, and communication with external
software. On Saturday 8th, I'll perform some flesh sounds at the same
venue. You can subscribe here

 Save the dates! On 12nd March in New York, I'll offer a night of
incarnated interactive music hosted by Phil Niblock at the historical
venue Experimental Intermedia where I'll perform the new piece
Ominous, amongst other sounds. On Saturday 15th March, I'll be back at
STEIM in Amsterdam, where we have organised a concert night of
body-based musical performances of interactive music. The line up
includes Marije Baalman, Erfan Abdi, and yours truly. In May (date
TBA), will join the awesome Linux Audio Conference at ZKM in Karlsruhe
to premiere the first performance for a new musical instrument I'm
currently developing. It brings together multimodal biotechnologies
and machine learning for the creation of emergent music and sound
forms through physical performance. For details check the calendar

**The Xth Sense: Phase #2 launch at LISA Salon, New York

 Leaders in Software and Art (LISA, @softwareandart) is a society of
creative thinkers centered around monthly salons. The Salon was
created to strengthen the community of software and electronic artists
worldwide. On Tuesday 11th March, I'll present the the new phase of
the Xth Sense project that aims to nurture a grassroot approach to the
development and use of biotechnology across different creative
communities. The project is being developed as a joint venture of
myself, Heidi Boisvert and Harvestworks in New York, thanks to the
Rockefeller Foundation-supported CTE program (Creativity + Technology
= Enterprise).

 Create Digital Motion, the premiere online magazine for sound and
music technology, has just published a review of the new developments
<http://createdigitalmusic.com/2014/02/molding-sound-flesh-biophysical-muscle-music-keeps-evolving/?utm_source=emailcampaign3&utm_medium=phpList&utm_content=textemail&utm_campaign=Visceral+resonances+from+New+York%2C+Amsterdam+and+Karlsruhe>
of the biophysical music project I started in 2011. It is a great
pleasure to realise the project evolution is still a matter of
interest in the community after 3 years of incredible events, with
performances tours and over 17 workshops worldwide. And keep an eye
open for the next wireless, miniaturised version of the Xth Sense
hopefully coming out sometimes at the end of the year.
