Nick Wilson’s I Am Sharing is an exploration in sound of social media as the dominant medium for our interaction with the world today. In a completely improvised performance, audience members share social media posts to be sampled and molded into a new sonic work created in the moment. Each performance is unique to the night, as Nick surfs the waves of a non-stop social media feed.
Dates: Thursday, Friday & Saturday, 19th-21st November Times: 9pm-10pm each night
The performances in the Digital Fringe will present I Am Sharing in its originally-intended format, as a completely online experience. I Am Sharing was publicly premiered last year in the Jolt Sonic Arts Festival at Footscray Community Arts Centre.
The first performance of I Am Sharing was in November 2018. Check out some excerpts here:
My twenty-five year career as a musician covers composition, performance and teaching, with a focus on electronic music and sound art.
I have also been known as Nick Fakeman, n-Entropy, Professor Entropy and Nicholas Bates at various times in my career.
Musical projects have included Tiatto, Random Acts of Elevator Music, Reductionist, Continuum, The Entwined and Space Is Ace, guest appearances with Winduptoys, Philosophy of Sound and Re-Sound and various production credits. I have also worked on several sound installation projects, including City Frequencies, Cafe Voyeur and Bush Resonance. Over the last ten years I have managed the Clan Analogue record label.
My professional interests include:
• Teaching and training
• Music composition and performance
• Independent art project administration
Currently I am employed as an Audio Lecturer at SAE Institute. This blog will be a forum to write about various things that interest me, mainly in the field of music but potentially further afield, depending on what grabs my attention.
