:: Mission Report

The .3rd Resistance deployed the mobile broadcast unit know as 'Forward Control' into a Christchurch warehouse rave.

Equipped with 100volt line horns and data projectors the unit was installed inside the warehouse and left in operation for the duration of the event.

Audio content was delivered at an average of volume of 80-90db. This provided approximately a 4m radius of sonic incursion into the primary rave sound field which was measured at an average of 100db 8m from sonic centre.

Hey all,

If you had a gripe about the non-academic experimental music world being under-represented on the NZ Geographic CD, here’s your chance!

We’ve been funded for a compilation CD to be given away with February 2009 edition of The Wire magazine (subscribers only but that’s still 9000 copies!).
It’ll also be included with the White Fungus issue around the same time.

The compilation is intended to be an overview of current NZ audio culture, including both emerging and established artists.

The MONO RAVE is a physical and sonic monolith to rave culture.

A sound system installation designed for the Lyttelton Winter Street Party. The MONO RAVE exists as one part of multiple areas, stalls and happenings in a carnival atmosphere.

The installation will provide Dj's playing rave music for the duration of the street party.

The sound system is built into a single stack of speakers. The Dj is presented directly in front of the speaker stack creating an image of the DJ and the sound system as one integrated entity.
