Ultrasound: TileToy and Pan Sonic

Ultrasound 2005, 21-25 November
Media Centre, Huddersfield, England

The Ultrasound 2005 festival is just around the corner, filling Huddersfield with audiovisual performances, experimental music and media art. The list of artists include Golan Levin and Zachary Lieberman (who together and solo will perform in 3 different projects), Jan Robert Leegte, Pan Sonic, Sue Costabile, Owl Project and many more.

This year, Director Tom Holley has decided on an interesting twist. In cooperation with PixelACHE organizer Juha Huuskonen this year’s festival has a section called “Finnish Partition”, presenting a number of Finnish artists and performers. The legendary noisemakers Pan Sonic (pictured above, in front of the TV tower in their current home town, Berlin) will perform, as will Grey Zone. Exhibited projects include Kick Ass Kung-Fu, the classic Habbo Hotel and the Open Source "Modular Electronic Game Prototype" TileToy.

There will be a TileToy workshop during the festival, see the workshop page for information. It looks like a great lineup, sure wish I was Finnish in Huddersfield.
