Mädchenband aus Japan, spielen Technopopmusik mit iPhone und SuperCollider (eine Audio Programmiersprache) Craftwife is the Japanese girl band who plays 70-80's style techno pop music. They are using iPhone to control the synthetic music program which  is developed by themselves with an audio programing language "SuperCollider". Their works cut across the existing fields, such as music/audio, video/visual, design, fashion and languages etc. And they have been performing based on the concept "media and perception" and respect the split of "craft". Craftwifeは、音響合成プログラミング言語・SuperColliderで作られたプログラムを、iPhoneを片手にコントロールするガールズ・バンド。音楽、映像、デザイン、ファッション、言語といった領域を超え、メディアと知覚をテーマに、Craftの精神を尊重した制作活動をしています。 愛知芸術文化センター主催の若手アーティスト支援プログラム「第4回AACサウンドパフォーマンス道場」オーディエンス賞受賞。 みなさまの応援、ありがとうございました。 Craftwife got "Audience Prize" of sound performance dojo, an artist supporting program by Aichi Art Center. thank you. 私が生まれてから現在までの二十数年の間に新しく現れた科学技術は、一体私をどれだけ幸せにしてくれたでしょうか。目先の利便性のために、失われたもののことを、考えた事はありますか。いや、もしかしたら失われたものなんて何も無いのかも。けれど、ふと感じる虚無感と、忘れつつあるリアルな感覚。繋がっている。結局、この身体からは離れられない。それでも、ずっとずっと昔から変わらないと言えるもの、それはつくるという喜びと愛。クラフトワイフは「作ること」を応援する人妻集団です。 昨夏より、音響合成、映像サンプリングのためのソフトウェアの作成（プログラミング）、衣装のデザインと縫製を行ってきました。今年は、更にハードウェアの作成を予定しています。プログラミング、電子工作、縫製など、「作る事」、そして「考える事」が好きな、魅力的な人妻（メンバー）を随時募集しています。詳細は左のメニューよりAUSSCHREIBUNGをご覧ください。。 Craftwife is an unique Japanese girl band that plays 70-80's style techno pop music in special costumes style after the German group Kraftwerk (though in miniskirts). Behind their attractive and catchy appearances, they are hiding the high technology and philosophy. They use iPhones to control a sound and music synthesis program and a realtime video sampling system, developed by themselves with an audio programming languages. Their works cut across the existing fields, such as music/audio, video/visual, design, fashion and languages, etc. Craftwife was formed by a Japanese sound designer tn8 in the summer of 2008. Ten years ago, she listened to the fantastic sound synthesised with an audio programming language "SuperCollider" first time, she felt in love with it at that moment. Since then, she has been having a kind of a weird obsession with SuperCollider, stitching a code on a pair of socks, writing love songs for it and even passing out promotional tissue in support of this free software.  Craftwife's beautiful and unique sound is realised through the use of SuperCollider. Though mastery of that programming environment requires a high level of programming skill, these technical difficulty stimulates her logical creativity and it provides great flexibility. And she was enough smart to learn it. All of the sound of Craftwife is made with it; not only synth-bass and synthetic bright tones, but drum sounds and vocal vocoding as well.  She plays not only the audio but also the visuals. Craftwife's performances involve one live member and two virtual "clones", produced using original real-time video processing system. The music and video programs are mutually controlled via an iPhone-based touch interface.  According to their policy, Craftwife believes that their work should be seen live, and does not provide recordings of their music or performances. After some successful gigs in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka in 2008, they are finding new opportunities to play in all of the world.
