Interview with GLTI.CH at Noisey.Vice

You don’t need to leave the house to belt out your favourite karaoke tracks—with strangers. Two Skype-friendly artists have founded glti.ch karaoke, an online karaoke project which anyone can partake in. You literally sign into Skype and sing karaoke duets (or quartets) with fellow fans. Imagine chat roulette was entirely musical and you get how things are matched. The artists Kyoung Kim and Daniel Rourke started this without any plans.…

Lovely Lustig Latency

GLTI.CH Karaoke has been on hiatus, but that doesn’t mean its ceaseless energy has ceased! No. No. No. No. No.

Spinning into my Facebook feed today was a piece at Slate on a new project by Raymond J. Lustig’s called : Latency Canons.

Working with the New York-based American Composers Orchestra and a carefully tuned hookup on Google Hangouts, Lustig and his team orchestrate musical ‘canons’, pushing bandwidth delays into melodious syncopations between NY and Manchester, UK.…

glti.chy insomnia

When all else fails, think glti.ch.

This was the lesson of last night’s insomnia, which led to thoughts about setting up a GLTI.CH Karaoke for this Thursday’s rather impromptu Goldsmiths Art Postgraduate Research Open Studios.

So far, we’ve hooked up spaces thousands of miles and many timezones apart. But on such short notice, with a desire to muck around some more, an internet connection and bandwidth that’re as reliable as one can ask for, and general February winter lazy/hibernation mode set to full blast, wondering what if we take GLTI.CH…

Failure lecture at Gli.tc/h 20111 Birmingham

Glti.ch Karaoke in the flesh! This is a lecture, performance and intellectual escapade all rolled into one. Watch Daniel and Kyoung chat, fail, sing and fail some more.

And the crowd go wild…

Check out some of the other, superb, glitchy lectures and performances, via YouTube and Flickr. And thanks once again to Antonio Roberts and everyone at Gli.tc/h for their incredible hospitality and FAILURE foresight.…

testingtestingtesting: google hangouts (again), skype (again), synchtube, tokbox, tinychat

we’ve been doing quite a bit of testing out of different software recently for GLTI.CH

prior to GK4 between liverpool and london, daniel and i met up to figure out what went wrong with google hangouts during GK3. with its youtube, chat, and multi-user videoing, we thought it might be the holy grail to GLTI.CH karaoke, only to be proven wrong as it automatically muted and canceled out sound every time we attempted to sing together.…

GK3 (17 Aug 2011): london+seoul+bbqs+rain+plastic goose+more kludge

one of my favorite things about GLTI.CH is that it’s not just about the Big Event.  the ideal is an ongoing stream where people pop in and out with no muss or fuss and/or people build their own events around a 24-hour party. for every GLTI.CH we do, there are tests in between and sometimes we just hook up with friends and family not because it’s part of GLTI.CH…
