Exciting events and experiences happening this week in Adelaide.
Welcome to LAB RATS! ILA is excited to announce our 2025 series of hands-on workshops with a focus on creative tech, shared learning and interdisciplinary collaboration. ------------------------------- In this compact 1-week workshop, musician Andrew Lang presents an overview of Videosync – a visual engine for Ableton Live that allows users to treat video with the same processes as audio. Andrew will explore how approaches to music production in Ableton Live can be quickly translated to video design and the potential interactions of video and audio within the software. Designed for musicians with an existing understanding and familiarity with Ableton Live, participants will learn how the Videosync software can be implemented with live performance via Ableton to create dynamic and reactive visuals. ------------------------------- ***Week 1 [Tues, October 7th]: Creating Live Visuals with Ableton and Videosync Participants will explore Videosync in Ableton Live to create reactive, dynamic visuals that can accompany live music performances, using the same approach for manipulating video as they would audio in Ableton. ------------------------------- FREE entry with registration - Doors Open = 5:00pm Workshop = 5:30pm - 7:00pm Networking = 7:00pm - 7:45pm Close = 8:00pm - Requirements: · Laptop (view requirements: https://tinyurl.com/43v92unn ) · Ableton Live full version (11/12 suite, or 11/12 Standard with Max for Live) · Videosync (free trial: https://tinyurl.com/yc3dfmpb ) · Prior knowledge (participants are recommended to have a solid understanding of Ableton fundamentals – effect racks, automation, etc. ) · Video Content (please provide a piece of video content to work with) ------------------------------- Who is Andrew Lang? Andrew Lang (he/him) is a composer & noisemaker living on Kaurna land in Adelaide, Australia. His work encompasses elements of ambient, drone, shoegaze, and contemporary classical music, to explore the illusory and emotional nature of sound. Andrew utilizes a range of resources in his work including live and electronic instrumentation, reactive visuals, field recordings, tape, found sounds, and live reamplification, often heavily processed to draw out unusual and unfamiliar characteristics in the source material. Andrew has composed several full-length solo records, in addition to works for films and live performance. His music is known for being contemplative, subtle, emotional and at times deeply moving.

From the award-winning team behind EDEN, ILA and internationally renowned Berlin-based artists flora&faunavisions present the world premiere of TIMELIGHT “Beyond our ticking world”, an Adelaide-exclusive immersive experience. TIMELIGHT invites visitors of all ages and all walks of life to look beyond our busy world— to the places where time stretches and bends. Trees bloom in cycles shaped by light, not numbers. Galaxies swirl in arcs beyond imagination. Through vast digital landscapes, visitors are free to move and play with time itself: bending gravity, shifting the rhythm of clocks, and slowing the rise and fall of the sun. The half-hour immersive experience begins in the ILA Studio, surrounded by over 100 sqm of LED screens. It continues in the ILA Gallery, where visitors are invited to pause and reflect on their personal relationship with time and contribute to a living, collective artwork that evolves across the season. TIMELIGHT is more than an immersive spectacle—it is a chance to see how time is a force that flows through nature, through life, and through the universe—far beyond our ticking world.

I Killed The Prom Queen was not just a band instrumental in laying the foundations of the metalcore sound, but a cultural force that was critical to the creation of the pathways to success of countless other metal and hardcore bands who followed, with genre giants Parkway Drive and Bring Me The Horizon among the names that would not be the bands they are today otherwise. Over their three album run Prom Queen not only changed the game - they defined it.</p><p dir="ltr"><br>In 2025 its founding members - vocalist Michael Crafter, guitarists Jona Weinhofen and Kevin Cameron, and drummer JJ Peters reunite to celebrate their formative years of their history with a set spanning the band's first decade. Honoring the low end legacy of the late bassist Sean Kennedy will be the band’s one-time vocalist Jamie Hope.</p><p dir="ltr"><br>Joining them for this momentous occasion are American mosh metal legends Emmure, Sydney’s fast rising deathcore killers To The Grave, and Melbourne hardcore outfit Threshold. </p>
