* Summer 2009 ookoi is filming Woody, an Ameland/SL machinima video clip directed by Evo Szuyuan.
Read almost all there is to know about ookoi's "1024" in the september -october 2008 issue (nr. 88 , p. 56/57) of GONZO ... (in dutch) : "Zelfcomponerende klankstukken" ...
You can BUY "1024" online here :
ookoi's a dutch duo whose work is foremost a play with time and space, and thus with identity: between here and there, between then and when ...
In 2005 ookoi released their "Muziektafel/Tafelmuziek (2004)" CD ... At the time they were still known as 0 OK, 0:1 ...The CD contains a series of 'songs' that were conceived as a transformation of a collection of recordings of ookoi's live performances, in casu recordings made while in residence on the dutch island of ameland, in may 2004. You may read about what went on there, and - among many other things - about ookoi's ongoing deeds, in the soundblog.
The 1024 dvd, released in 2007, is both a sequel to and a deepening of ookoi's Muziektafel CD.
1024 is ookoi's kibibyte ... It is based upon a collection of one thousand and twenty four sound bites all of which have been carefully extracted, again from recordings of ookoi's live performances and interventions, here roughly between the summers of 2004 and 2006. Without beginning and without end, the sounds continuously re-assemble into β-poptunes, recognizable enough (because of the unity of material) to even at times find yourself whistling along to them ... but never once the same ... Every presentation is a premiere ...
ookoi's main virtual platform is Raudio, a series of evolving 24/7 audio web streams, hosted by the Amsterdam based PARK4DTV. Playing now: leve ookoi ! ...
Then listen to ookoi's brand new "Live Beyond the Paradiso" EP, based upon recordings from their legendary Inside/Outside Paradiso (Amsterdam) performance, in the summer of 2005.
Originally exclusively available as part of a digital datadump at the Netherlands Media Art Institute Montevideo/Time Based Arts, in Amsterdam, the sixteen tracks are now streaming at Last.FM, complete and unabridged ...
