Lukatoyboy touching music workshops

bitte mitbringen:
- any sound recording device with a microphone (dictaphone analog/digital, laptop, ipod with italk recorder…)

How-to personal recommendations: ZX Spectrum video synth (circuit bent), electro-acoustic live improvisation and its friends and enemies, current Nintendo DS homebrew music software scene, field recordings in the park during festival’s disturbance, and the very classic Casio SK1 in its patch glory.

Kids are welcome too!
More info soon…

Luka Ivanović / Lukatoyboy was born in Belgrade 1981.  His main sound/music activities include field recordings, producing & performing experimental electro-acoustic improvised music (based on real-time sampling of various objects, toys and voice) often using small iPod FM transmitters and feedback. On the other side of the groove, he is playing nanocore and free IDM on a Game Boy. He has performed live in bands like Pending, CasTrio and skiiiik++ at various relevant Serbian music festivals and specific events, but today he’s more active as a solo performer - Lukatoyboy, and from 2006 he checks Europe’s look, and Europe checks his sound - as 9 EU cities already did. His music can be found as Creative Commons licensed files on http://www.last.fm/music/lukatoyboy In 2007 he has collaborated via live audio/video streaming session with New York free jazz trumpeter Peter Evans. They met on MySpace, and the gig was their first musical meeting - they will playing live together soon.

He’s also editing a radio show ‘Cut-Paste FM” on Belgrade city radio Studio B. The show is 8 years old - a selection of albums to sleep with has charted in The WIRE magazine.
His writings about music, pop culture and internet/technology related topics may be found in various magazines and websites in Serbia. In the turbulent Serbia’s music market past, he was involved in Belgrade’s CDR store Bluebox which was influential in country’s musical underground from 2001-2003. It offered music which was impossible to buy, or heavy to find (at the time still without broadband internet) in Serbia. He was also a musical supervisor and sound designer for theatre plays (“Velika Bela Zavera, “Druga Strana” and “Muška Stvar”) in Belgrade.

Since February 2007 he is a co-organizer of improvE nights in Belgrade, encounters of electronic musicians and improvisers, which also serves as a host for the local SHARE events.
He was also one third of recently disbanded electronic noise-rock band Pending, playing synthesizers and samplers. Another new band - CasTrio, is formed in spring ’07 - focused on limitations and advantages of the vintage Casio toy samplers which are circuit bent and used as audio/video instruments.
