The experience was a good one and I would definately go again, I left feeling extremely influenced as a large amount of work was particularly relevant to my interests and working style.
Many old techniques and technologies were on display, such as film loops, but more in keeping with my project, reel to reel tape.
In the Resonance FM section, there was a piece that involved a tape loop created by the artists who run the radio station. It was set to be on record with a microphone picking up the specator's voice, go through a laptop (where they were applying some sort of effects I presumer), then it was played back to you through a heavily distorted echo.
I found this interesting as I did not realise that tape loops were still used and was pleased that they are. I still feel they are a great way of visualising sound, and experimenting in an analogue way, the possibilities of the medium.
