*POSTVINYL
Mathias Fuchs mixes sounds from the game Unreal with contemporary electronic music, offering a “navigation” in intense rhythms and images from the mod of Mathias Fuchs, Postvinyl. Postvinyl is an autonomous game based on the platform Unreal, giving the player the possibility to explore the history of vinyl records, finding his way through a sonic space full of records and paraphernalia from the history of pop music. At the same time, it can be used as a performance tool, and as an installation for a DJ mixing the sounds from the game with the music of a real DJ.
Mathias Fuchs studied computer science at Technical University in Erlangen, Germany, and Vienna and also Electronic Music at the Music Academy in Vienna (Roman Haubenstock-Ramati and Dieter Kaufmann) and at EMS in Stockholm (Tamas Ungvary, Lars Gunnar Bodin). He returned to Austria to teach “Telecommunication and Music” at the Academy of Applied Arts (Prof. Roy Ascott) in Vienna. Mathias Fuchs also set up and directed a multimedia studio, called FREE MEDIA MIX, at the Academy of Fine Arts. Since 1994 He is a lecturer at “University for Art and Industrial Design in Linz”.
