Deprogram will be performing an ambient set at the Flight Lounge as part of the annual Festival of Flight in Stanwell Park on Sunday November 13. The bill also features Luke O’Neill and Ion Pierce, Jodi Martin and Nick Southcott.
The event runs from 4 – 7pm at the CWA Hall, topping off a busy day at the festival which celebrates the Father of Flight, Lawrence Hargrave, the first person to become airborne using four box kites off Stanwell Park beach in 1894. One of the highlights of the day will include a fly-over by the super constellation Connie, courtesy of the Historic Aircraft Restoration Society.

Gestural Controller
Deprogram have added customised open source software and DIY controllers to their performances, moving beyond ready-made hardware and laptops to DIY controllers to allow for more expression and interaction. They’ve devised an audiovisual program that uses sensor gloves to mix and alter sounds and projections.
All processing is done through digital workstation, Ardour, which is controlled by ReacTIVision using TUIO protocol. Ardour then sends feedback to the control surface – commands like gain, pan and metering. This is sent to Smokescreen, a visualisation application, via OSC.
The controller was initially developed and premiered at the Underbelly Festival and Public Arts Lab, Sydney in August 2008. It has also been incorporated into a performance inside the Regenr8 geodesic dome featuring 360 degree projections at the Peats Ridge Festival.

We dusted out the cobwebs and performed some new music and visuals at Salmagundi Studios, sharing the lineup with Cherry2000 and Fabels.
The warehouse, crouched in the shadows of the latest Meriton Wolli Creek developments, was decked out with amazing artwork as part of the Return Flight exhibition.
Here are some photos of the gig kindly taken by Amanda Nast.
