MADISON, WI:
The Rock concert: a musical exploration of Deep Time
Isotope geochemistry rarely inspires art. I am pleased to announce
that this will change on April 9th, when the University of
Wisconsin-Madison will host "The Rock concert: a musical exploration of
Deep Time." I have commissioned saxophonist Roy Nathanson to compose
this theatrical concert in honor of the oldest dated terrestrial
object- a 4.404 billion year old zircon from Australia. Roy and his
band The Jazz Passengers will perform at 8 PM in the Great Hall on the
University of Wisconsin campus. Admission is free. The concert will be
preceded by the first public display of this zircon itself, in the
Geology Museum of the UW Department of Geology and Geophysics.
I make no promises. And by "make no promises" I mean that I guarantee
that this concert will be the greatest event, ever, anywhere, and worth
every penny of a round trip ticket from Paris or Sydney or Lima.
Please freely post this announcement wherever and to whomever you like.
For more information, or to RSVP for seats at the concert, go to www.therockconcert.org
You may now return to work, and dream of the Zircons of Spring.

LUX GALLERY: February events & March show by Derrick Fludd<
LUX Gallery of Art & Events is the brainchild of Sacha Warholic. This new
gallery opened in December of 2004, and brings to Chicago a unique approach
to art and culture. The gallery is more than a location It is a cultural
network that brings artists and musicians together in a pairing of
intertwined creativity focusing on emerging and established contemporary art
and music. LUX works to bring together different mediums-- photography,
sculpture, painting, drawing and mixed media to show the power and diversity
of art. Thursdays are the event nights at the gallery. The first Thursday
will open the months art features, while the subsequent Thursdays will
showcase the musicians in the LUX Gallery jazz series. The gallery is a
place where refinement and creativity are accessible to anyone. The mix of
music and art creates an environment that is social and stimulating.
LUX is very excited about the upcoming March show by Derrick Fludd. Mr.
Fludd has had shows at the Claudia Hellwich Gallery in Hamburg, Germany and
the Art Brick, Salander-OReilly Gallery in New York. He will also be
included in the 2005 Florence Biennale Fortezza da Basso, Italy. His March
show at LUX will be his Chicago debut. It will feature a series called
Pathways and large work called Random Thoughts. Random Thoughts contains
225 6X 6 canvases that are assembled in varying configurations each time
it is shown. When completed, it forms a larger installation that is 96 X
96. The Pathways series captures the beauty and the mystical/spiritual
nature of art as seen through how we experience events. Imagine being able
to lie on your back, close your eyes and watch the creation of a single
thought. The Pathways show is the type of exciting new art that LUX Gallery
will be showcasing. Below is a little more about LUX and Derrick Fludd.
LUX Gallery of Arts and Events
Our varied interests require that the gallery be adaptable to accommodate a
myriad of projects. The gallery is a 3000 square foot urban event space,
elegant with a raw loft feel. It provides a comfortable yet professional
atmosphere in which to experience the work of talented local, national and
international artists and musicians working in a broad range of media and
styles.

East Coast US Tour:
Somebody's Closet ON TOUR
Somebody's Closet conveys a contemporary mixture of jazz/funk and folk/rock fusion with a very earthy, rootsy tone. Brian Headlee kicks the infectious polyrhythmic grooves on the drum kit. Jeff Bujak splits his brain open to lay down the heart thumping low end with his left hand and the melodic key tones with his right, swapping leads with Justin Eck who adds stylishly percussive rhythms on acoustic guitar. His potent vocals mesh with the angelic, yet alluringly sultry voice of Christine D. Eck who also adds some spice with her array of world percussion instruments. The lyrical imagery spins out of the transcendental souls of Somebody's Closet and makes way to eager hearts all across the country.
11/27/04 SAT Monopole Plattsburgh, NY
"Somebody's Closet breathes new life to the long lost art - real music." Scott Wellington, Miami New Times, 2004
Somebody's Closet was created in Tempe, AZ and now bases out of Northampton, MA. With several U.S. tours, 3 albums along with countless live recordings in circulation, and a 'Best Jam Band of 2003' award at the Arizona Infusion of Music Awards under the belt, Somebody's Closet's popularity grows by the day. Linking songs with segues and including mind altering jams, the live show is their main product.
"The music rises with nary a dull moment, and continues to do so throughout their set." Jessica Acuna, Encore Magazine, Wilmington, NC, 2004

NEW YORK CITY:
WET INK 2004/2005 SEASON AT A GLANCE
In 2004/2005 Wet Ink presents new music at the Bowery Poetry Club, with 8 split-bills featuring The Wet Ink Ensemble and Ensemble-In-Residence Zs, as well as Slow Six Ensemble, saxophonist Charles Gayle, James Fei?s Alto Quartet, avant-rock from Coptic Light, Timetable Percussion, improvisations by TRIO (Christian Wolff, Larry Polansky, and Kui Dong), and works by Earle Brown, Beat Furrer, Wolfgang Rihm, Frederic Rzewski, Salvatore Sciarrino, Christian Wolff, and members of the Wet Ink Composers Collective, among others.
Friday, January 21, 2005: TRIO / Zs
Wet Ink presents the 4th annual Trio and Zs concert. Composer/performers Christian Wolff, Larry Polansky, and Kui Dong, come down from Hanover New Hampshire to split the bill with New York's brutal chamber sextet, Zs. Trio?s improvisations are sprawling in nature, running the gamut from lush diatonicism to pointalistic chromaticism to distorted noise and prepared piano sounds. Zs performs compositions by band mates Alex Mincek, Sam Hillmer, Matthew Hough, and Charlie Looker.
Wednesday, February 23, 2005: Charles Gayle / The Wet Ink Ensemble
The Wet Ink Ensemble performs compositions by members of the Wet Ink Composers Collective Alex Mincek, Sam Hillmer, Reiko Fueting and Brendan Connelly. Saxophonist Charles Gayle, one of New York's most guttural and aggressive improvisers, performs a solo set as his theatrical alter-ego, "Streets the Clown."
Wednesday, March 30, 2005: The Wet Ink Ensemble / Slow Six.
The Wet Ink Ensemble performs various duo combinations by Alex Mincek, Sam Hillmer, Brendan Connelly, Christian Wolff and Nils Vigeland. They will be followed by the New York-based ensemble, Slow Six, lead by composer, performer, computer programmer, Christopher Tignor. Slow Six investigates consonance in every way. The harmonic palate is relentlessly agreeable, and textures are constantly soothing.
Wednesday, April 20, 2005: Timetable Percussion / Coptic Light (the band not the piece)
Timetable Percussion trio performs works by Beat Furrer, Wolfgang Rihm, Hiroya Miura and others. They are followed by the avant-rock band, Coptic Light, whose bass and drums play aggressive free jazz/metal monolith in support of the guitar?s triumphant pop melodies.
Wednesday, May 18, 2005: Wet Ink Presents Salvatore Sciarrino's L'Opera per Flauto.
Sciarrino is a master at dissecting instruments and finding in them the most intricate and delicate manners of expression. His works frequently allow his precious discoveries to teeter on the brink of inaudibility. Flautist Erin Lesser will perform a selection of movements from Sciarrino's magnum opus for solo flute, L'Opera per Flauto.
Wednesday, June 15, 2005: The Wet Ink Ensemble: Music from the Wet Ink Composers Collective
For the final concert of the season, the Wet Ink Ensemble expands to 12 players for performances of new works by Wet Ink composers Alex Mincek, Sam Hillmer, Reiko Fueting and Brendan Connelly.

ATAU TANAKA
Composer and intermedia performer Atau Tanaka presents his project,
"Concrete Corps," a series of works for biosensor interface and electronic
sound.
Tanaka uses physical gestures to articulate music and sound. He has been
performing with the BioMuse since 1992, an invention that translates
electrical signals (EMG) from the body into digital data. Here, he attaches
sensors to his forearms, and then by tensing and relaxing his muscles he
controls computers. In effect, the system makes his entire body a musical
instrument. Sound sources are taken from animals, water, machinery and
telecommunications devices.
Atau Tanaka (b. 1963, Tokyo) was studied electronic music with Ivan
Tcherepnin at Harvard, and computer music at CCRMA at Stanford University.
In the early 1990s he moved to Paris to conduct research at IRCAM. He is a
co-founder of Sensorband with Zbigniew Karkowski and Edwin van der Heide,
and has been artist in residence at STEIM (Amsterdam) and V2 (Rotterdam).
In 1997 Tanaka moved to Japan for a project at NTT/ICC and came in contact
with the noise music scene, playing with Merzbow, Otomo, KK Null and others.
He is currently based in Paris and conducts research at Sony Computer
Science Laboratories on future music systems.
Co-presented with the Renaissance Society. This concert is FREE and will
take place in the gallery.
PHILL NIBLOCK
Drone lovers and lovers of all kinds celebrate as American minimalist
composer Phill Niblock returns for his first Chicago performance since 2001.
Niblock's music is thick and layered, made with adjacent, sustained tones
originally played on conventional instruments. He records these minute pitch
differences and then overlaps and multi-tracks them. Anticipate a
mesmerizing two-hour program. Niblock's films also will run continuously
throughout -- beautiful unedited long takes of people from all cultures
working with their hands.
Phill Niblock (b. 1933, Indiana) is an intermedia artist using music, film,
photography, video and computers. He has presented his work around the world
since the mid-1960s. He has received grants from the Guggenheim Foundation,
the New York State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts,
the Creative Artists Public Service Program, the City University of New York
Research Foundation and the Foundation for the Contemporary Performance
Arts. He has been director of the Experimental Intermedia Foundation in New
York since 1985 and an artist/member since 1968.
Lampo was honored to present Phill Niblock's Chicago debut in March 2000.
CM VON HAUSSWOLFF
Hausswolff premieres a new audio work, and Lampo launches its first CD/book
release -- all this and more amid our storied cinderblocks.
In August 2003, Lampo and partner Whitewalls brought Hausswolff here to
initiate a multifaceted project for Chicago.
The Swedish artist collected sound sources from atop the John Hancock
Building, selecting that location because it oversees the entire city. In
the open air observation deck, he used contact microphones and atmospheric
microphones to record building vibrations, passing breezes and excerpts of
overheard speech from tourists. Hausswolff then returned to Stockholm to
work in his studio for several months. These sources were transformed into
a dense, low-end drone work which he calls, "There Are No Crows Flying
Around the Hancock Building."
During his visit, Hausswolff and a small but fearless crew also spent nights
driving around town, identifying forgotten buildings across the city. Their
gear: a pick-up truck, several 4,000-watt spotlights, red filters and a
noisy gas-powered generator. Once a site was selected, the building was
washed in red light and Hausswolff took photographs. Sites included a gas
station, church, supermarket, housing project, warehouse, correction
facility and a hot dog stand. The result is a series of shots with an eerie
spectral beauty. These images are collected in a new book titled "Red Empty
(Chicago 2003)" published by Whitewalls/Lampo.
Carl Michael von Hausswolff (b. 1956, Linkoping) is a composer, visual
artist and curator. He lives and works in Stockholm. His main instrument is
the tape recorder, which he has used extensively throughout his practice.
Concerned with capturing hidden sound where supposedly there is none, he has
made recordings of architectural space and ventured into performances of
electronic interferences from "the other side" ("Operation of Spirit
Communication"). He also is expert in the work of Friedrich Jurgenson,
electronic voice phenomena (EVP) researcher who detected voices of the dead
hidden in radio static. Hausswolff's own audio works are pure, intuitive
studies of electricity, frequency and tone. Collaborators include Erik
Pauser, with whom he worked as Phauss (1981-1993), Leif Elggren and John
Duncan. Hausswolff was a Prix Ars Electronica prize-winner for Digital
Musics in 2002.
His fascination with the color red appears in many projects, including "Red
Pool" (Cities on the Move VI, Bangkok, 1999), "Red Night" (SITE Santa Fe,
1999) and "Red Mersey" (Liverpool Biennial, 2004). Additional major
exhibitions include Documenta X in Kassel, the Johannesburg Biennial and the
Venice Biennale. He curated the Goteborg Biennial, "Against All Evens," in
2003.
In 1992, Hausswolff and Elggren proclaimed the virtual Kingdoms of
Elgaland-Vargaland, all areas of no-mans land, territories between national
boundaries on both land and sea, digital and mental spaces. This nation,
ruled benevolently by Carl 1st and Leif 1st, has its own national anthem,
flag, coat of arms, currency, citizens and ministers.
Lampo first presented CM von Hausswolff in February 2001, when he performed
"Circulating over Square Oceans" with sonar, radar, oscillators and
microphones. In August 2003 Hausswolff screened his video project "Hashima"
at Lampo.
"There Are No Crows Flying Around the Hancock Building" and "Red Empty
(Chicago 2003)" are made possible in part with support from the Barbro Osher
Pro Suecia Foundation, the American-Scandinavian Foundation and the
Governor's International Arts Exchange Program of the Illinois Arts Council.

TONIC events MARCH 2005!
HELP SAVE TONIC!
Since 1998 Tonic has been a haven for creative music. We have helped nurture
the vital community of musicians and audiences who keep this music alive. Now
we are in danger of closing and ask you to help us keep Tonic alive.
Over the past few years we have suffered a series of blows: our rent has
doubled since 1998, our insurance costs have tripled, weve been robbed, and
weve been plagued by the expense of maintaining a building in ill repair
including the collapse of our main sewer line.
Any of these things would be challenging on their own but together theyve
taken a more serious toll and we are now facing the threat of eviction.
A number of outstanding musicians have come forward to help save Tonic and
throughout February we will be holding a series of fundraising concerts. If
Tonic has been an important venue to you, we ask that you please attend as
many of these concerts as possible.
Those who cannot attend but would like to help, please consider making a
contribution.
For Tonic to survive we will need to raise a upwards of $100,000 in the next
few weeks.
Only with your support can Tonic continue playing its role in presenting this
important music to its fans.
Our deepest thanks.

Viralnet.net is now online!
Viralnet is a productive nexus: critique, archive, art space and journal.
It intends to raise questions and provoke assumptions about culture,
media, politics and the arts.
Working with international social critics, media theorists, writers,
curators and artists, it is an online space that will grow and mutate as
it delivers material for these post-digital, post-democratic times. As
human experience becomes more mediated, we will highlight alternative
pathways into future thought and art making.
Produced by the Center for Integrated Media and the MFA Writing Program at
CalArts, Viralnet offers a series of commissioned online projects, essays
and interviews with a view toward articulating new concepts and working
strategies developed by contemporary intermedia artists, writers and
theorists. Tom Leeser, Director of the Center for Integrated Media,
says Viralnet is set up to look at digital media in relation to
culture, politics and the arts. The computer and the Internet have
expanded far beyond the boundaries of an exclusive digital domain,
allowing a transformation from novelty to the familiar," he says. "As with
radio at the beginning of the 20th century, digital technology has entered
a state of flux, going from an object of privilege to a common and
everyday ubiquitous appliance. This will have creative, social and
political ramifications that we are only beginning to
experience and understand."
Some of the contributors to this release of Viralnet include; social
critic and author, Norman Klein, new media theorist and author, Lisa
Nakamura, Kitchen curator and author, Christina Yang, artists, Perry
Hoberman and Sara Roberts.

includes full-length radio art programs by American and European
artists. Currently available are works by Terry Allen, Jacki Apple,
Diamanda Galas, Sheila Davies, Suzan-Lori Parks, Gregory Whitehead and
others. Additional programs will be added to the site in the coming months.
A weekly series distributed to public radio stations nationwide from
1987-1998, NEW AMERICAN RADIO includes over 300 original works
commissioned from such artists as Pauline Oliveros, Rachel Rosenthal,
Christian Marclay, Alvin Curran, and Carl Hancock Rux. During its 15
years of broadcast life, NAR became known-nationally and
internationally as the principal source of radio experimentation in
America, ranking with such high-profile international programs as ABC
Australia's The Listening Room. Its works, which won numerous prizes
in competitions worldwide, were aired throughout North America, Europe
and Australia. Although now off-air, NAR enjoys an active afterlife on
the Internet, where full-length programs, audio excerpts, scripts and
other artist writings are available.
An amazing cultural mirror of its time, both in regard to the issues it
dealt with and the techniques and strategies used by its artists, NEW
AMERICAN RADIO is also being archived in the World Music Archive at
Wesleyan University, CT, where it will be accessible both on location
and on-line to students, educators, artists, scholars, and the general

Announcing the Launch of the Website for:
"Re: Duchamp Traveling Exhibition"
La Biennale di Venezia:
49th International Exhibition of Art--
Concomitant Exhibitions
http://www.nyartsmagazine.com/duchamp
"The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition is a project that has been evolving
over time. It has traveled to various cities in Germany, Poland, Chile and
Israel, as well as New York City. It is the ongoing work of Abraham Lubelski,
and incorporates the work of over 250 other artists, including Nam June Paik,
Dennis Oppenheim, Carl Andre, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Taylor Mead, Larry
Weiner, David Humphrey, Inka Essenhigh....
The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition at the 49th Venice Biennale* is an
installation of clotheslines from which artwork is hung.** The idea for this
installation is derived from Marcel Duchamp's infamous benefit exhibition
organized on the Premises of the Coordinating Council of French Relief
Societies, 451 Madison Avenue, New York, October 14th - November 7th, 1942,
in which he criss-crossed the entire gallery with one mile of string. This
entanglement, which the public had to negotiate when they came to view the
art, stood as a metaphor for the difficulties encountered in attempting to
understand modern art.
The current exhibition uses this Duchampian metaphor to point to connectivity
as much as any difficulty that might hinder an appreciation of art in the
digital age---art whose nature may be partially or completely ephemeral,
time-based, or immaterial, and which might be conveyed digitally or housed
virtually. Re: Duchamp celebrates the process of visual sampling in a world
where the line between original and copy has been blurred, and the medium is
the readymade.
** Participating artists were asked to e-mail their submissions as digital
files. These were printed out, placed in plastic sleeves and brought to
Venice for installation. Hung from criss-crossing lengths of string at the
Church of S. Maria Ausiliatrice, they resemble so many Tibetan prayer flags,
the wind and the Web conveying and disseminating their messages.

the Peggy Gugghenheim Collection, the Biennale Arti Visive, and the

Festivals, Contests, Conferences, Programs, Airtime Submissions Requested!
The American Composers Forum is pleased to announce the re-launch of its Encore Program.
Award Range: $500-$2,500
To learn more about the program and how to apply, visit www.composersforum.org/encore.
Encore, the Forum's Performance Incentive Fund, encourages performers - individuals and ensembles - to add newly created works by living composers to their repertoires. It also aims to assist composers in securing premiere and post-premiere performances that are vital to building a career. While not a commissioning program and not expected to fully finance performances, Encore acts as an incentive to build new partnerships between performers and composers. By offering an opportunity for performers to work directly with the composer and helping compensate players for the time and effort required to undertake a new piece, Encore will ensure new works continue to reach a variety of audiences.
The program now makes grants from $500 to $2,500 to performers and ensembles to present a work at least three times during an 18-month period. Awards support rehearsal and performance costs, so that performers may connect with a composer whose work they have not previously performed. Grant amounts vary according to the duration, scope and difficulty of the work. (Performers need not be specialists in playing new music -- this is an excellent opportunity for ensembles that need that extra push to try a new work and devote the necessary preparation time to it.)
Joint applications may be initiated by composers or performers, may be submitted at any time, and are reviewed on a quarterly basis. Composers and performers must be based in different geographic areas of the U.S. (e.g. an ensemble in Arizona could apply with a Oregon composer or a Florida soloist might work with a composer from Texas). Selected works may be premiered or unperformed, but must not have an extensive performance history.
To learn more about the program and how to apply, contact David Wolff at dwolff@composersforum.org or (651) 251-2833 or visit us online at:
www.composersforum.org/encore
Encore is made possible by support from the Argosy Foundation and a generous gift from an anonymous donor.

Subject: Open Call for Circuit Bending Artists/Performers
BENT2005
spaceworks @ The Tank is currently accepting submissions for the BENT 2005 Circuit Bending Festival. The festival will take place from April 27th to May 1st at The Tank on 42nd street in New York City. It is our hope that the festival will be as diverse in its programming as possible, with performances, installations, lectures, workshops, etc, and that it will represent as accurately as possible the interests and talents of the circuit bending community. In addition we are looking to expand this years festival to include work people are doing with software/hardware manipulation (i.e.- gameboys/computers/nintendos/etc).
Additionally, we are limiting this year's festival to a Wednesday through Sunday schedule instead of spanning two weekends. This will give a more even trajectory to the festivities and help us separate evening concerts and public free-for-all workshops from more focused, intimate and multi-part daytime workshops and events.
This call for works falls into three categories:
Musicians / Performance Artists:
Installation Artists:
Please submit a written proposal of a circuit bent project that can reasonably be completed in the time allotted with a modest but flexible amount of supplies. See the floor plans of the gallery space at www.thetanknyc.org/spaceworks/floorplans.html
Instructors / Volunteers
Submission Deadline March 8, 2005.

OBF Composers Symposium /144
Performance Opportunities for ALL Composers.
I am writing with good news: this summer, we will
offer a Composers Symposium in which ALL participants
will receive performances from FIREWORKS, our
ensemble-in-residence. The group has been hailed
as ".the hottest new classical band in New York.The
experience is ecstatic." (The New Music Connoisseur)
Twelve participants will be selected to receive
performances on our concert series and twenty
participants will be featured on sessions of the
workshop series (recorded rehearsals and readings).
And in daily seminars, each composer will give a
presentation for the symposium about his or her
music. Also, the composers will participate in
a wide range of activities including sessions and
concerts given by guest artists such as Osvaldo
Golijov (Festival Composer-in-residence) and the
KRONOS Quartet.
We have kept the cost of the symposium--tuition
as well as room & board--unusually low. Please
see our website for details: www.iwagemusic.com.
The deadline for receipt of application materials
is Tuesday, April 5, 2005.
I would be grateful if you would please forward
this email to as many fellow composers as possible,
especially students. We aim to give all participants
an opportunity to hear their works performed, and
to connect with composers and performers in an
innovative and inspiring musical context.
All the best,

There is a new improvising space in the web at www.auracle.org
It's a webspace where everyone can improvise together, the only thing
you'd need to participate is internet access, a microphone (the
built-in mic of your computer is fully sufficient) and just your
voice or anything else that makes a sound. The idea is to provide an
easily accessable worldwide improvising space that anyone, musician
or non-musician, can easily handle and make music with it.
We over here in Stutgart are promoting this project from Saturday
25.9. until Friday, 1.10. every day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. central
eurpoean time, and it would be great if as many people as possible
would join us in this time and improvise together.
the project was initiated by Max Neuhaus, realised by Shekar
Ramakrishnan, Kristjan Varnik, Jason Freeman and others, and you can
find more information on the website www.auracle.org
Hope to meet all of you there
Just a reminder that the Audio Engineering Society is calling for
submissions for its second student design competition. The competition
will be held at the 117th Convention in San Francisco. Judging for the
finalists will take place on October 29th from 11:30am-1:00pm (room TBA)!
The deadline for submissions has been moved to October 10th!! Please visit
the webpage at www.aes.org/students/About/frameset_studentevents.html

Entries will be judged by a panel of industry experts in design and
manufacturing. The judges for this years competition will be: John La
Grou, Bob Moog, and Rupert Neve!
The top three winners will be awarded prizes. All prizes have been
donated this year by the Design Competition sponsor Universal Audio.
Projects may include, but are not limited to loudspeakers, electronic
circuits, software, microphones, musical instruments, or anything that
can be made for use in the audio field. This is an excellent opportunity
for students to have their work reviewed and evaluated by professionals,
and for manufacturers to meet with up-and-coming design talent.
If you have any questions please contact John Monforte at monforte@umich.edu.
We are currently accepting audio art pieces for a pirate radio project at High Desert Test Sites in Joshua Tree, CA. High Desert Test Sites is an open-format art event hosted by Andrea Zittel that takes place on four tracts of land in the desert in and near Joshua Tree, CA. (For more info: www.highdeserttestsites.com.). The radio station will be broadcast across part of a valley outside of Joshua Tree for two days during the event in late October. The radio station content will be curated by two artists, Fabienne Lasserre and Christy Gast, and will consist of a compilation of works submitted by other artists, community groups, audiophiles, etc. Listeners will tune in on their car radios, and at a listening station/art installation in the desert landscape.
Keep in mind that the radio station will be experienced in the context of the High Desert landscape, which you can check out at www.highdeserttestsites.com. Submissions can be fiction, music, oral history, soundscapes, soundtracks, etc. There is no time limit, but we may choose to use segments of longer submissions (in consultation with the artist or producer). Short submissions are also acceptable.

i am a co-founder and co-director of collective: unconscious, an artist-run multi media art space and production facility that has just moved into nyc/usa/tribeca, to hopefully engage in the heretofore rather obscure task of the de-gentrification of a neighborhood in new york city.
at this point, the best way that many of the prolific members of the experimental art/media/theater community can help us is through doing a show/event at collective: unconscious. our carrying expenses are 7000 dollars a month, and we need to have a full schedule of weird, strange, shocking, experimental, original stuff going on in our space to keep us from economically crashing and burning in short order
we have karen finley www.karenfinley.org doing a run of shows in september and october, which means sizable audiences to glean for a whole slew of open 10pm slots.
a partial and by no means exhaustive pitch for our new facility:
the only space of its kind left in lower manhattan, in a sea of starbucked duane readed name branded cultural garbage, a barnacle of freakdom that you can help keep alive in the trying months ahead
come by any of our bookings meetings any sunday at 6pm at 279 church st., nyc, usa, and/or email scheduling@weird.org. speak to gecko or myself. we are inviting both local artists and international artists seeking to do shows/events in new york city at low cost. we want engaging original work that may not be as established as the work presented by other experimental art spaces in nyc such as the kitchen or ps122. if you don't know about our space and you are interested in booking an event with us, check out our website www.weird.org

RAM-Radioartemobile and Nomads & Residents
A collection and a traveling archive of audio-artworks, a database on the Internet, and a center for different ways of listening
Proposal open to all artists who work with sound
Radioartemobile (RAM) and Nomads & Residents (N&R) kickoff an audio-artwork database.
All artists who have worked or are working with sound are invited to send an artwork on audio CD, DVD, or on a vinyl record. The RAM headquarters in Rome, via Conte Verde 15, will function as a gathering and a listening point and as an archive for all materials received. It will be open to public. Artworks will be gradually posted in the section "database" of the Radio website www.radioartemobile.it.
RAM is also the first location of a traveling archive initiated by Nomads & Residents. The second public presentation will be in San Francisco, at Southern Exposure, in the spring of 2005.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING AUDIO-WORKS
- the sender can mention any requirement needed to listen to the audio-work (type of loudspeakers, stereo system, headphones, etc.). These indications will be taken into consideration each time RAM would chose the piece for installing it, within the technical and logistic features available;
Radioartemobile and Nomads & Residents will take the best care of the entered works, but cannot take liability for accidental damage, loss or theft. For this reason we suggest to send two copies of each material. RAM and N&R will
archive all sound works that fit the above mentioned requirements and will present them to the public.
Lorenzo Benedetti, Riccardo Giagni and Cesare Pietroiusti will listen to all the entries and will gradually post them in the web-site database. In turn-to the discretion of the curators- some artworks will be displayed in the RAM headquarters in Rome with the aim of offering the public also the possibility to explore different ways of listening to audio-works. The database will gradually increase the number of contributions and will be presented to the public at regular appointments. The first public presentation is scheduled for mid October 2004.
Deadline for first submission is September 1, 2004.
Please send the material to:
With Music Beyond Performance: SoundImageSound II the Conservatory
Computer Studio for Music Composition (CCSMC) in combination with the
Conservatory of Music, University of the Pacific presents the third year
of concerts featuring the work of artists who cross boundaries to
combine the aural and the visual. For 2004 this event will again feature
new works of "fixed media" which in some manner combine multi-channel
sound and visual images without "live" performance.
Works in all media and style will be considered. Preference will be
given to concert works but sound/image installations are also possible.
The audio portion of the work may be composed for two to eight channels
of sound. Preference will be given to work which exceeds normal stereo
presentation.
The visual elements may be projected image (dvd, minidv, vcr, still
image, etc.) or three dimensional objects within the space. Works
requiring multiple projections will be considered.
Any unique or unusual equipment required for the presentation of a
particular piece will be the artist's responsibility.
Artists selected for presentation are encouraged but not required to
attend.
Works should be submitted in a format that best represents both their
sound and image components. Please email with questions concerning
format.
A complete submission should include the work itself, brief program
notes, and a short bio of the artist.
Submit all materials postmarked by July 19, 2004 to:
Robert Coburn
For further information contact rcoburn@pacific.edu
DEADLINE: Proposals received after August 1 cannot be considered. We encourage sending your proposals as early as possible.
SHOW CONCEPT: Although the show started in response to the inevitable spew of war and election propaganda, the basic concept for the show is a broadly based investigation of propaganda in popular culture, including advertising, war propaganda, presidential and political me(a)ssages, pharmaceutical information(i.e. the purple pill), NRA messages, etc. Included in the show will be older works on/of propaganda, providing historical context for today's propaganda and art on propaganda.
FORMAT: The show will consist of media art interspersed with perfomative sections, in a seamless evening exploring the facts, myths, perceptions and consequences of propaganda.
WHAT WE ARE SEEKING: Media Art (video/film/DVD) should be relatively short. Works in excess of 15 minutes will have to shrivel our undies to get accepted, but will be considered. Performative works (music included) should also be short (2 to 5 minutes), require minimal technical support (key light and sound available). Again, longer works will be considered, but only if outstanding. We are looking for a kaleidoscopic view of propaganda, making longer works problematic.
WHEN: We are planning to do this show prior to the November election. We are projecting either October 9, 16, or 23.
WHERE: TBD venue, probably in Pasadena area.
HONORARIA: All artists will receive honoraria. The amount will vary according to the type and length of work.
QUESTIONS?: You can call Richard Amromin at (626)398-9278 or send inquiries to newtownart@charter.net.
HOW TO SEND PROPOSALS: Media art should be sent on VHS or DVD, along with an SASE if you want the work returned. Performative work should be presented in as complete and thorough a manner as possible. We realize documentation of performance is difficulty, so we will leave it to you to best represent your work in the manner you choose. If you are proposing work not yet completed, please send work sample(s) that indicate the general quality of your work. Enclose a brief biography or resume and any other materials you feel will be helpful.
Send proposals to:

Dangerous Curve is a new Downtown Los Angeles experimental exhibition
and performance art space committed to supporting visionary emerging
artists of all ages, by emphasizing one-person shows of risky,
intelligent work that is not necessarily commercially viable nor
currently popular. Dangerous Curve is also a new venue for performance
artists, with performance-exhibits, monthly performance art and
experimental music events, and an annual end-of-summer festival planned.
Dangerous Curve is looking for performance artists and experimental
musicians for their monthly Performance Art and Experimental Music
Nights. We will give preference to work that is, in the words of Jacki
Apple, radical content in radical form. We want work that pushes
the envelope, not pure dance, singing, or theatre.
Submission format: DVDs/CDs/URLs preferred. We can handle videotapes
and slides, but not to your best advantage. For performance art, a
written description may even suffice; musicians must send samples.
Deadline: Ongoing.

GRANT
The New York Arts Recovery Fund will survey NYC artists to find out
if they need job retraining in the areas of teaching, social work,
and some construction-related trades as well as arts organizations to
see if they have laid workers off. Artists will be eligible for the
Consortium for Worker Education's job retraining program for NYC
artists whose economic base has been impacted by the disaster.
Additionally, it is possible that CWE will provide, with NYFA's help,
partial wage subsidies to nonprofit arts organizations that laid
workers off or cut back their pay or hours as a result of September
11.
ORGANISM: MAKING ART WITH LIVING SYSTEMS
organism is a new mailing list for people interested in art that

technical, practical, aesthetic, and ethical issues.
subscribe to the organism mailing list:
http://music.columbia.edu/organism/
the idea of making art with living systems is not new; you might even
consider a topiary garden or a goldfish pond to be biological art. what
is new is the degree of control over biological systems and materials
contemporary technology offers us.
some artists making biologically-based art:
Eduardo Kac has made several transgenic artworks, including GFP Bunny,
a genetically engineered fluorescent rabbit.
Damien Hirst's A Thousand Years involves a cycle of maggots eating a cow
head.
Yukinori Yanagi uses ant farms in some of his work.
Edgar Lissel's Bakterium is photographic images rendered in
light-sensitive bacteria.
Richard Reames is an arborsculptor who makes extreme trees.
douglas repetto (that's me!) has a number of pieces, like How to Annoy a
Plant, that involve plants and time-lapse photography.

The changes wrought by the terrible events of September 11, 2001 are
still becoming visible. The arts community has, like every other area
of life, been deeply affected by the terrorism and its aftermath. In
response to the horrors and destruction in New York City and
Washington, D C, the Santa Fe Art Institute is contributing to the
support and normalization of life in America. The Santa Fe Art
Institute is offering two to four week residencies in beautiful,
quiet residence spaces with studios as respite for artists whose
living spaces or studios have been compromised by the terrorism. The
residencies are available during the fall and winter at no cost to
the artists.

Circuit Bending Festival
CALL FOR WORKS
Musicians / Performance Artists
Installation Artists
Instructors / Volunteers
We are seeking bands, musicians, and performance artists who somehow incorporate the tools, aesthetics, or ideas of circuit bending into their live performance. We are putting together three nights of circuit bent performances and are interested in as diverse an array of performances as possible. Please send a brief description of your live show, and/or any links to mp3s/photos/websites etc. No attachments will be read or considered. Also feel free to mail us your info. See below for our contact information.
The Tank includes a basement gallery space, and as such we are seeking 2-3 artists-in-residence who will each receive 15-20 hours of gallery/studio time and as many tools and resources as we can provide to complete a circuit bent installation during the festival. All studio hours in the gallery will be open to the public, and we are most interested in artists who don't mind chatting about what they are doing and explaining circuit bending to gallery visitors who wander through. Please keep in mind that this is a smallish gallery space and your work and your working attitude will have to co-exist with the other artists and their work. Be excited about interacting!
We will have a wide assortment of standard circuit bending tools/equipment (soldering irons, pots/wires/capacitors/resistors/etc/etc/etc) and as much random materials as we can pull together. We will also facilitate a trip to Materials for the Arts to help gather more supplies. www.mfta.org
This year we are looking to find people that are interested in leading workshops, presenting talks, and being on-hand during public workshops to help beginners learn how to bend. This year we are considering doing a multiple-day type workshop for attendants that want to work in a more intimate setting and develop more complicated work. Also, when 100 newbies show up and start ripping apart toys (so fun! if you experienced the first day of the festival last year you know what we mean....) it would be great to have dependable people on hand that can help guide them.
Please tell us about yourself and what you do, and how you would want to be involved.

Hey friends, I'm going to be offering a new workshop at Machine starting March 13th on programming microcontrollers with some general electronics thrown in. Here's the basic info:
Schedule: Sundays from 4-8pm. March 13,20,27 and April 3
Course Description: Electron wranging for beginners is a hands on crash course in making stuff do stuff with electricity. Incredibly, this course will cover both the very popular and useful basic stamp microcontroller, and the basics of analog electronics. After 4 sessions of intense brain expansion you will bask in your new knowledge and "can do" attitute towards using electricity to make rad art. How do we do this all in so short a time? By using Science!
A link to the syllabus and registration page can be found here: www.machineproject.com/classes/microcontrollers/index.php
Would you be so kind as to send this along to people who might be interested?
Love,
Mark Allen
Troika Ranch Live-I Workshops 2005 New York / USA
July 11-15 / July 18-22 2005
www.troikaranch.org/livei.html
First Week - Software / Sensors / Technology - July 11-15, 10am - 4pm
Second Week - Aesthetics and Creative Expression - July 18-22, 10am - 4pm
Application Deadline: Apr 15, 2005
Notification of Acceptance: Apr 22, 2005
Fees due to Troika Ranch by: May 15th, 2005
New York City based dance theater company Troika Ranch announces its annual Live-Interactive (Live-I) Workshop, an intensive seminar for artists and advanced students who want to explore the use of interactive computer technology in the creation and performance of dance, theater, installation, and related live artworks. The workshop will take place from July 11-22 in New York City. Application deadline for the workshop is April 15th, 2005.
Led by composer/media artist Mark Coniglio and choreographer Dawn Stoppiello, Artistic Co-Directors of Troika Ranch (www.troikaranch.org), the Live-I Workshop allows students to explore strategies and techniques for combining interactive digital media and live performance. Participants will learn to use software and hardware that links their gestures and vocalizations to interactively controlled video, sound, light and other digital media, leading to the creation of a short study over the course of the workshop. This hands on aspect will be complimented by an introduction to the aesthetic and compositional concerns that arise when using interactive digital tools, including critical discussions about how the technology itself shapes the form and content of an artwork.
Students will learn Isadora(r) (www.troikaranch.org/isadora.html as the primary software tool for authoring, though they are welcome to bring other software (MAX/Jitter, etc.) if they are comfortable in those environments and can bring their own copy. (Please let us know if you plan to do this.) In all cases, participants will learn what is necessary to create their studies during the workshop: basic programming skills, video and audio capture, and how to manipulate the media with software.
We will be selecting ten participants for each workshop. The application deadline is April 15th, 2005. You will be notified of your acceptance no later than one week after the deadline. Fees are due to Troika Ranch no later than May 15th.
To apply, please send or email Troika Ranch (see contact information below) one paragraph explaining why you are interested in attending the workshop and one paragraph describing the kind of work that you make. You should also briefly tell us about your level of expertise with computers. Please include your name, address, telephone number and email address.
Participants may choose to attend only the first week. Those who have attended a past Live-I Workshop may attend only the second. If you plan to attend the first or second week only, the cost is US$400. If you plan to attend both, the cost is US$800.
NOTE: It is recommended that you bring your own laptop computer (Mac or PC) if possible. We have a limited number of computers for use by the workshop participants. If you cannot bring your own computer, you may be required to share a computer with one other participant. In addition, if you can bring a digital video camera, you will find it useful. If you are able to bring your own computer, please let us know the type, speed, and whether or not it has a FireWire (aka iLink) port.
For further details, please visit: www.troikaranch.org/livei.html
Or, if you have questions, please email us at: mailto:workshop@troikaranch.org
About Mark Coniglio, Dawn Stoppiello and Troika Ranch
Dubbed "interactive performance pioneers" by the New York Times and "multimedia mavericks" by the Village Voice, composer Mark Coniglio and choreographer Dawn Stoppiello founded Troika Ranch in 1994 to create works that fuse traditional elements of dance, music and theater with interactive computer technology and media. Their recent evening length work "Future of Memory" was awarded the 2003 Time Out New York Dance Audience "Bessie" Award in New York City and received an honorary mention at Prix Ars Electronica 2004.
Troika Ranch has performed throughout the United States and Europe, at venues including Monaco Dance Forum, Monte Carlo, Monaco, The Duke on 42nd Street, The Kitchen and Joyce Soho, all in New York City; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood Florida, among others.
They have taught the Live-I Workshop at numerous institutions in the United States and abroad. European hosts have included Contredanse (Brussels, Belgium), FACT (Liverpool, England), and Neuer Forum Musiktheater (Stuttgart, Germany). In North America, the workshop has been taught at Brown University, Oberlin College, University of Maryland, the Santa Fe Art Institute, and InterAccess in Toronto.
Coniglio and Stoppiello both received their degrees from California Institute of the Arts, where Coniglio was a student of electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnick. After graduating, Stoppiello danced professionally for the Bella Lewitzky Dance Company. Coniglio has taught Interactive Music Composition at CalArts and New York University and Stoppiello has taught on the dance faculties of Loyola Marymount University, Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts, and Universtiy of Maryland, Baltimore County.
