Omer Eilam (ISR)

Omer Eilam presents Feedback Feeds.This live act explores the notion of sonic feedback systems between humans and machines. Centred on recorded and live sounds from an analog No Input Mixing Board (NIMB) these sounds will be transformed by two signals, one from human muscle contractions sensor and another from electromagnetic radiation sensor, thus blending together body and machine in a textural noisy soundscape. Transcending beyond the sheer auditory aspect of sound, through an outer layer of feedback the sounds produced will be analysed by a computer and used to drive electric pulses to electrodes attached to my body.

The performance was created especially for the Rewire festival and is based on ideas conceived during CTM’s MusicMakers Hacklab, Berlin 2015.

Omer Eilam was born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel. He studied computational biology in Tel Aviv University and currently in the process of finishing a PhD on the subject of microbial metabolism. In parallel he started studying music composition 2 years ago in Tel Aviv but after one year decided to leave and move to The Hague, where he currently studies electroacoustic music in The Institute of Sonology. Playing piano from an early age on the one hand and being raised on heavy metal music on the other, his interests lie in the interplay between artists from different disciplines creating new innovative art forms while harnessing technological advances to invent and explore new musical languages.
