AETHER9 : Initiated in May 2007 during a workshop at the Mapping Festival in Geneva, Switzerland, Æther9 is a collaborative art project exploring the field of realtime video transmission.
Developed by an international group of visual artists and collectives working in a dozen of different locations (disseminated throughout Europe, North and South America, the Middle East) and communicating primarily through the Internet, Æther9 intends to become a functional framework for collaborative video performance.

Shivnakaun's Optical Electro acoustic Performance Indian Academy Of Electronic Arts Presents " Carnival of Electronic Creativity ( Feb 27,28,1 March 2009 )
Spontaneous Sensory Reactions by - [ Vinny Bhagat - Laptop , objects, Ashhar Farooqui - Laptop , Voice, Maria Fava - Laptop , Optics ] INCIDENT REPORT : BY Shankar Barua " Vinny Bhagat had brought together Maria Fava and Ashhar Farooqui to perform with him, in what was perhaps not really an experimental collaboration, but also what was certainly not something that all three had ever done together before. And, nor was it anything that they had scripted and choreographed in any great detail. In short, we were back to unpresented live improvisation to close the whole show. Vinny laid down the central core of the performance, with an eloquent compendium of pure audio-synthesis, made and played in SuperCollider. Ashhar sat at his desk in the shadows of the stage-corner, in his usual inimitable way, every now and again stylishly injecting lovely little snippets of improvised lyric that he then looped and tweaked and twiddled perfectly into the sound-cloud. And, Maria handled the live video-manipulation, demonstrating a remarkably prescient ability to almost perfectly reflect every movement of the music that came through from Vinny and Ashhar (in fact, I even asked her later on whether she’d had a direct signal-feed from either of them, which she did not). Things got almost hypnotic, and, in very many ways, it was altogether an amazingly appropriate act to end with.For, end it had to, even though some part of the audience looked like they wouldn’t mind seeing it go on and on and on.Which of course meant that we had to get rid of those of them who weren’t ‘insiders’, so as to move on~;o). " MARCH 2009
Shivnakaun …is an experimental arts project led by electronic music composer , sound artist and designer , Vinny Bhagat. His work highlights computational electro acoustic music that explores digital sound generative and synthesis models. The music is created through custom build applications using code in SuperCollider ( a dynamic programming enviorment for acoustic research, audio synthesis , algorithmic music and interactive programming). " Our performance is like a journey, that can start with ambient minimal generative sounds and climbs to various areas of abstract sonic art and electronica. The spontaneous nature of the music means you hear a one off performance." Accompanying him on video will be Maria Fava [ an Italian friend , composer and visual artist ] - exploring Video feedback and Live Video Synthesis. + a special surprise……

Distant Impressions by Shivnakaun Distributed performances are emerging trends in performance practices where the performers are not in close proximity to each other. Through modern Internet technology, isolated performers can be visually and sonically connected to each other. Hence, the requirement of performers in one physical space is rather a matter of choice not condition. This opens up new avenues of collaboration between distant artists. One can set up a performance base, collaborate with artists in isolated locations and broadcast performances in multiple venues within one time frame.
Shivnakaun is a Sound Art Project born in 2005 and is led by electronic music composer & percussionist - Vinny Bhagat . He invites distant artists from various backgrounds for performative collaboration. " Our performance is like a journey, which can start with ambient minimal generative sounds and climbs to various areas of abstract sonic art and electronica. The music is created through code in SuperCollider - that explores real time sound generation and manipulation methods, audio visual feedback processes , field recordings + acoustic instruments and found objects. The spontaneous nature of the music means you hear a one off performance.

Finishing of this beautiful journey of 4 years , the night before I had to leave for India , Seeing Orbo had a gig at Exeter Hotel . Few close friends came( chris and Chamunda - i remember for sure ) and was alot of fun to play . Minimal drum setup , few solos and chris who has been a great help to me recorded it all. I still have to collect the video from him ..We went out to sugar after that - it was a monday night , got drunk and yes , I love to dance alone ..
Seeing Orbo also recorded 7-8 songs at Billy hyde Studio few days ago. Work on that is still pending,but playing needs to get alot better before any release should be thought about.
Air-Stream Wireless is a non-profit community group who use wireless in combination with free and open source technologies to deploy a Wide Area Network (WAN) that supports community participation, local content and communications.It is the first and largest community group in South Australia to successfully build a Wide Area Network (WAN) using wireless technologies.
Vinny Bhagat's work is based on performance of isolated performers ( different countries / location ), conducting distributed performances , connecting musicians , visual artists - sonically and visually - hence streaming audio and video from multiple locations to the performance venue and vice versa. He is examining available technologies for audio video streaming , audio video conferences and tools for isolated musicians and Vj's . In the past he has used skype , ichat and msn conferencing . This is now including second life and more importantly Audo jack technologies. Live feed link + Maria Fava - Live video from Nice-France + Kym Gluyas - Live Saxophone from EMU,Univeristy of Adelaide

Interesting concept , may be a bit unusual for poetic gatherings, dont know , i think it certainly came up as a surprise for the people present there. Expressionism dissolved in Hertz... Maura invited me to a poets gathering ,where she would recite her poem and i will manipulate her voice .. Imagine the result .. >5 mins .. I am fascinated by the possibilities and interactivity with the real time sound capture and its synthesis . SC has given me hands on tools to do that, certianly a huge area of exploration.. {LiveInput * Synthesis}.concept;
This was great , collective spontaneous music making at seacliff , hard to believe we all havnt done much music together , one show with ankgor wat , and the second was this , great to play with Pat , justin, kym , julius, molly , liz , christian, nick and others. have a great time Liz , will meet up soon, somewhere in this planet. god bless..

b@mall : vb~(kit) +kg~(sax) this is fine, even if i dont get much money. its amazing how things have changed , when i first arrived Adelaide, seeing musicians on the streets busking was weird , i had never thought i will do this, now things are different ,i am doing it, not just for playing, some % for $ too. someone is watching , the days to come are not very far , i am getting there , here or in some other land, may be in my land.
Shantrastra school of Yoga @ Mt Barker, celebrates 'gurupurnima '- 18July'08, night of the full moon of guru.. I went to play Tabla with devotees chanting , I also recorded the last chant "sacred shiva".
