Tristan Louth-Robins will present an exiting array of his sound art installations and works, whilst Daniel Thompson will blow us away with his contributions to openMoco in the form of physical interfaces for animation and video.

DANIEL THOMPSON

Daniel Thompson is currently working with Rising Sun Pictures as a Mid Level 3D artist. He has had many generalist duties, such as previsualisation, character setup, lighting modelling and texturing.

In 2006, Daniel completed a Master Arts Degree in Digital Media at The Australian Film Television and Radio School in Sydney. The two year
degree was highly collaborative and allowed him to work with directing,
producing and cinematography students. Whilst at AFTRS, Daniel developed a motion control solution that allowed camera information to seamlessly travel from *Maya to onset.* Prior to Film School, Daniel was a
freelance TV editor, as well as working on numerous short films.

TRISTAN LOUTH-ROBINS
“He likes his girlfriend, pots of tea, ceramic bowls, oscillators, walking, being in transit, cooking, wine, gloomy weather, theories and topography.”
He is also known for his highly successful experimental music series Tyndall Assembly, which showcased emerging composers and experimental musicians, as well his collaborative and performance work with electro-acoustic music and new media art.

Although there were some technical problems with the device at first - and we had to rely on a YouTube video in lieu of a real-life demonstration - Ben did some troubleshooting during the coffee break and was able to let the audience play around with his synthesiser.
