Rose & Danner see the hypermedia art of Station Rose as a new development
succeeding Techno, where the artist and musician not create music and art separately,
but create their audiovisual content synced in real-time, performing at different
locations (hi&lo: underground, clubs, museums, galleries, avantgarde-festivals),
and publish in various media. STR was founded in Vienna in 1988 by musician Gary
Danner & artist Elisa Rose as a public multimedia-lab. On from the beginning
activities of Station Rose spanned the spectrum of CD,- Vinyl- and CD-ROM-production,
artproduction, research on Virtual Realities to symposia, lectures, performances
in galleries, clubs and museums. Station Rose Info: STR is online since 1991 & is
one of the 1st multimedia bands in the world & played at Ars Electronica,
Transmediale, Viper, Museum Ludwig, Cyberthon, XS & Ultraschall, Robert Johnson,
le Batofar, Paris, Melkweg Amsterdam, Museumsquartier & the Museum
of Applied Arts, Vienna, ICA London, to name a few.

":// on Demand" 4 track EP, gunafa 10
available for download at finetunes.net
The four tracks on this EP consist of two songs with vocals and two
abstract instrumentals.
The instrumentals (Caravan 2 France, Verwehung) feature evolving
textures of filtered reverb-rooms, distortion and echo, freely based
around layered, minimal rhythmic patterns, progressing on mathematical
structures found by chance.
The two "songs" (Suractive, Inside) experiment with harmonics,
vocals, acoustic instruments (guitars), and interaction between rhythmic
and melodic changes. The connoisseur will discover structures reminiscent
of Neu!, The United States of America and Soft Machine.
Stills of 3 tracks from the EP can be seen in the artists«book

The publication, with (practically) no text & 64 pages in colour
in large part, is available from Revolver Books now.
It was about time for STR to rematerialize in print, after 4 years of TV-production "Best
of Webcasting", and a resulting DVD & CD of the same title.The book
features audio-visual works, performances, installations and Web 2.0 activities
and linkings. Fuzzyness is a subject, too. A lo-res mobile phone coverage style
of today gets sharp again when vectorized.

Best
of Webcasting DVD [DVD 3056] ________________________ Best
Of Webcasting CD [ZYX 20703-2]


The influential
TV-series “Best of Webcasting” is aired weekly
in the Late Lounge at hr-fernsehen, with no comparable form
of art in German TV. Editing for TV presents the challenge,
to rearrange the sequences, loops, audio-visual-patterns and
textsamples. The online webcasts are made up from a flow of
a main theme and from it's improvisation. The TV-Versions reflect
the laws of mass-media, thus shortening the online-versions
to about 4 to 8 minutes remixes.
"Best of Webcasting" from Station Rose now has its own DVD, with
the best scenes. It mirrors the digital lifestyle of a whole generation that
grew up, like Station Rose, with bits and bytes. On the DVD there is a choice
of 16 AV-Tracks produced for TV, classified as "Abstract",
"Pop", and "Nature Is Cool". Additionally
there is a fifteen-minute "Behind the scenes"-feature,
with the artists speaking about their activities and the DVD.
Information and velocity meet slow-motion. Compression, followed
by emptiness. Action inside deliberately created loops.
In order to give consideration to their role as Hypermedia pioneers,
Station Rose created along with the audiovisual tracks the layout,
artwork, as well as the interactive menues and the concept.As
a bonus, in addition to the DVD, the accompanying CD has been
released, which contains newly produced tracks and all tracks
