WEST COAST US TOUR:
L.A. sound and noise coming to your town...
Bob Bellerue, Albert Ortega and Adam Overton are sound and noise performers from Los Angeles and will be embarking upon a brief west coast tour during the end of March and beginning of April 2005. Each of them has staked out claims in the frontier between the camps of the lo-fi hi-brow and the hi-fi lo-brow, and are currently exploring the sonic territories of noise, sound collage, feedback, homemade electronics, and biosensors - a sublime blend of analog and digital experimentations.
Performance dates currently include:
Bios
Bob Bellerue / halfnormal is a noise artist and audio engineer from Los Angeles and elsewhere. My work uses repurposed electronics, custom programming, and prepared ambient (public & private) field recordings for performance and installation. With a background in punk / acid rock, Balinese gamelan, and Tibetan Buddhism, I'm interested in the various ways that extreme sonic experiences affect awareness and identity, and the supple techniques used to focus and modulate energy.
Albert Ortega, a Los Angeles native, instrument builder, and sound situationist, considers his immediate surroundings as the primary energy in which to capture, blend, and release sound using environmental instruments / instrumental environments that are modified with each performance. His sound practice explores the tactile relationships of the body fumbling with unlikely objects among other bodies negotiating their presence within a space.
Adam Overton is a performance artist, sound artist, and composer from Atlanta, Georgia and is currently living in Los Angeles. His recent performance work incorporates homemade sound software and biosensors that use the heart, brain and lungs to disturb and manipulate digital noise.

PASADENA, CA:
Afternoon House Concert of Indian Classical Music
Kushal Das - Sitar
Sunday, April 3, 2005, 3:00 pm
Admission: $20 ( $18 if Prepaid before April 1,2005), $15 for Students with ID.
All tickets sold only at the door beginning at 2:30pm.
Artists:
Kushal Das was born in a musical family in 1959. He started learning Sitar from his father Sri Sailen Das (a disciple of Pt. Lachman Bhattacharya and Pt. Ravi Shankar) and his uncle Sri Santanu Das, disciple of Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.
Kushal continued to develop his artistic skills under the guidance of Prof. Sanjoy Bandopadhyay of Khairagarh, who is a disciple of Radhika Mohan Maitra. Further inspiration came from artists like Ajoy Sinha Roy, Manas Chakraborty and Ramkrishna Basu. He has participated in most of the major music conferences in India and has also performed in various countries in Europe. Kushal Das combines musical depth and maturity with imagination and enormous virtuosity. His sitar playing has a rich and melodious tone that reminds one of the late Pandit Nikhil Banerjee.
Abhijit Banerjee, born in 1964, began learning Tabla at the age of four under the guidance of Shri Tushar Kanti Bose and later received guidance from Shri Manik Pal. He then became a disciple of one of the greatest Tabla teachers of this century, the late Pt. Ghyan Prakash Ghosh. Abhijit also received lessons in vocal music from Shri Ajoy Chakraborty and in violin from Smt. Annapurna Devi. Abhijit has continually participated in major music festivals in India and worldwide, both as soloist and as accompanist. He has accompanied artists like Amjad Ali Khan, Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Pt. Jasraj, Pt. Ravi Shankar, Parveen Sultana etc. The late Pt. Nikhil Banerjee chose him as an accompanist on his last tour to Europe in 1984.
P.S. When Kushal performed in Pasadena few years ago audiance liked it so much that we had to arrange another concert on Tuesday night. So do not miss this opportunity.
EAGLE ROCK, CA:
Open Gate Sunday Music Series for April
On Sunday, April 3, at 7:00 p.m., the second in the spring series of Sunday evening concerts will occur presented by Open Gate Theatre, featuring the Bobby Bradford Motet and Vinny Golia Music for Like Instruments: the Clarinets. The concert will take place at the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock, 2225 Colorado Blvd, Eagle Rock (one block west of Eagle Rock Blvd.). Admission is $10 (half price for students, seniors, and series participants). Free parking is plentiful. Further information can be obtained by calling (626) 795-4989.
Certainly local mainstay and music legend Bobby Bradford needs no introductory remarks by now. His contributions to the music of Ornette Coleman (he was the original trumpet player in Coleman?s then local quartet) and his long-term collaborations with the late great John Carter are now a luminous part of the historical record. Many a jazz great has passed through the ranks of Bradford?s band. He has been one of the leading and most inspiring lights of jazz education in this area for decades. Here he returns to the Open Gate Theatre monthly concert series with a full Mo?tet comprised of many local heroes as well: trombonist Michael Vlatokovich, saxophonist Chuck Manning, guitarist Ken Rosser, bassist Roberto Miguel Miranda, and drummer William Jeffrey. Mr. Bradford and his music truly are the bridge between bebop and the new thing (hardly new anymore!). Listen!
Opening the evening will be multi-instrumentalist/composer Vinny Golia's latest installment in his Music for Like Instruments series of groups, this time for the full range of clarinets. A local jazz legend himself (as well as one of the veterans of Mr. Bradford's band), by now also needing no introduction, Golia turns his attention to new compositions for a clarinet quintet, having already explored and recorded music for quartets of Eb saxophones and flutes (both documented on self-titled CDs on the 9 Winds label). In fact, both quartets have performed at the Open Gate series. The clarinetists joining Golia (Ab, Eb, alto, contra alto, bass, and contrabass clarinets) for this quintet in its concert debut will be Brian Walsh (Bb and bass clarinets), Jim Sullivan (Bb and bass clarinets, basset horn), Miguel Garcia (Bb clarinet), and Andrew Pask (Bb and bass clarinets).
It's a rarity to be able to hear these two important local exponents of what Mr. Bradford calls guarding the avant performing together as bandleaders on the same evening. Consequently, attendance is recommended.

Thursday, April 7, 2005, 8PM
Goip, the first experimental multi-media party presented by Whisper Culture will take place Thursday, April 7th at the Bohemia Bar, 1624 California/Polk, SF.
Five groups will present work at the Whisper Culture debut: romantic science-fact audio-video electronic spasm trio Sagan, new media dance company group A, ambient beat duo miba, brutal noise heroes Tolga, and DJs SarahO and RyanP.
Whisper Culture is a group of local multimedia artists who bring experimental music, dance, video, and installation art to a wider audience by presenting work in dynamic social settings. Our mission is to increase the awareness and accessibility of experimental art, encourage and foster inter-disciplinary collaborations among artists, champion emerging artists who blur the lines between pop and high art and create settings in which such work is appreciated and enjoyed.
Goip Artists:
Miba: Kristin Miltner and Mark Bartscher make music with bells, voices, computers, trees, self-created software patches, birds and cats, creating rhythmic granular textures ranging from harmonic washes to dense noise. Some shows and projects that miba has been involved with are the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival at SOMArts, the CEAIT Festival at CalArts, the NWEAMO Festival in Portland, the Sacramento Noise Festival, the Strictly Ballroom Series at Stanford University, the Thursday Night Special, CPEACH in Eureka, and ElectricPacific at San Jose. miba also plays with Bilge-Radiolaria, CMAU, the Brown Bunny Ensemble, and Out of the Loop.
www.paxrecordings.com/Artists/miba.html
group A: Formed in 2002 by choreographer and dancer Alyssa Lee Wilmot, group A is a dance company that seeks new means of expression through collaboration with multidisciplinary artists. In the past these collaborations have resulted in performances employing live electronic music, video, motion triggered laser beams, duct tape, and various electronic installations in unconventional venues. For Goip, group A features dancers Melissa Anast, Bethany Clemen, Amy Dumars, Jez Lee, Jarred McAdams, and Dawn Urista, who present moving body sculptures/performance art, as well as a new work, Trio for Video, incorporating video by Kristin Miltner with music by Cenk Ergn.
www.whisperculture.com
Sagan: Jon Leidecker (aka Wobbly), Blevin Blechdom and J Lessers soundscapes contain cranky computers, chirpy helium speed loops, big lumbering rock drums, spiky metal guitar leads, crumbling towers of gabber stomp, pastoral piano meanderings, field recordings from bird hospitals, abrupt tempo collapses, and shivering synthesizers.
Tolga: Mark Bartscher, Sudhu Tewari, and Cenk Ergn improvise with laptops and homemade electronics, blending rich ambient textures with rambunctious brutality.

Just Intonation Network
concert series: Robert Rich will perform a solo concert of his electronic music
* Upcoming concert in June
Robert Rich will perform a solo concert of his electronic music on
June 11 in San Francisco, as a part of the Just Intonation Network
concert series:
Robert Rich Live
The Rickshaw Stop
"For the ninth and final concert of our series, composer/performer
Robert Rich presents his most recent work from upcoming albums
"Electric Ladder" and "Echo of Small Things" along with
improvisations and older compositions using MOTM analog modular
synthesizer, keyboards, computer, steel guitar and various flutes.
Rich's new work often involves hybrid harmonic tunings that expose
relationships between timbre and melody, taking advantage of new
advances in computer control of analog synthesizers. His use of
acoustic instruments maintains a human connection to his densely
layered performances."
In celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the organization's
founding, The Just Intonation Network, in association with Other
Minds, will present a series of nine concerts of twentieth and
twenty-first century music in Just Intonation at a number of
different San Francisco Bay-Area venues between April 9 and June 11,
2005, featuring works by many of the leading composers exploring the
wealth of expression offered by just tunings. This will be the most
extensive series of performances of justly tuned music ever presented
in Northern California--possibly anywhere--and will showcase the
beauty and diversity of the music being created by contemporary
composers and musicians working in Just Intonation.
Composers and performers represented on the series include Alexis
Alrich, Phillip Arnautoff, David Canright, Ellen Fullman, Gamelan Si
Betty, Kraig Grady/Shadow Theater of Anaphoria, Lou Harrison, Michael
Harrison, Janis Mattox & Loren Rush, Other Music, Harry Partch,
Joshua Pierce, Robert Rich, Terry Riley, and John Schneider.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

New American Radio Website Project
New American Radio
New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. is pleased to announce its
redesigned, updated and expanded NEW AMERICAN RADIO (NAR) website that
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
public. The archive is made possible by grants from the National

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.
* At the 49th Venice Biennale, the Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition forms
part of the Markers Project, which involves organizations in Venice including
the Peggy Gugghenheim Collection, the Biennale Arti Visive, and the
Municipality of Venice itself."

REDCAT ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS FROM LA-AREA PERFORMERS FOR UPCOMING STUDIO PERFORMANCE
REDCAT, the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater, is accepting submissions for original works to be presented in the March edition of Studio, a quarterly venue for new works and works-in-progress in dance, theater, multi-media and music by Los Angeles-area artists. Auditioners should present an original work of less than 15 minutes in length. The auditions will be held on Sunday, April 17, 2005, and the performances will take place on May 22 &23, 2005.
The deadline for applications is Wednesday, April 6, 2005, 5pm. Visit
redcat.org/participate/artist.html
to download an audition application form, or contact Lindsay Hendrickson at 213-237-2816.
Each edition of Studio features a mixed bill of approximately six projects. Performances take place Sunday and Monday nights and are performed in REDCATs 220-seat theater in the Walt Disney Concert Hall. With a straightforward presenting style and low-tech vibe, Studio brings the creative process to the stage. Studio will serve as a workshop for audience and artist, and feature a range of new work that explores the boundaries of contemporary disciplines.
Studio was created to give new artists an opportunity to hone their skills, as well as offering established artists a chance to test new material and works-in-progress before an audience. The program is curated by a revolving panel of two regional working artists. Check redcat.org for information on future editions of Studio.
REDCAT is an interdisciplinary arts center that introduces diverse audiences, students and artists to the most influential developments in the performing, visual and media arts from around the world, and gives artists and future artists in this region the production opportunities and creative support they need to achieve national and international stature.
Are you interested in performing on the Meridian Music series?
We welcome your interest and want you to have a sense of what we're seeking for this series. The space is a wonderful, intimate venue, a rectangular gallery space, deeply windowed at one end, hardwood floored, 14 1/2 feet by 30 feet with a 10 1/2 foot ceiling. We can seat a maximum of 50 people. We're on the second floor of a building in downtown San Francisco, generally quiet, but with some street sounds audible. There is not a piano in the space. The audience usually sits on comfortable folding chairs. Because it is an active, vibrant art gallery, the music always occurs in relation to the current exhibition. So, we are interested in music that works well in this resonant space.
Each concert is professionally recorded by Michael Zelner of Zoka Productions. With this opportunity, those selected will also share their unique musical perspective with a group of about 15 low-income, high school aged, interns in a one-hour workshop.
We invite proposals from composer/performers for solo or very small ensemble performances that take into account the size of the room. Quiet, "lower case" music works well here, so do sonically saturating pieces. It's a small space, and we respect the ears of our audiences and we want performers who understand that. We host a wide range of styles and approaches, including free improv, structured improv, minimalism, new (and old) complexity, as well as streams from jazz, "concert" music, art music from all world cultures, experimental music, and performance art. We hope to present a wide variety of these sorts of art music, and we need your proposals to help us to do that.
Your proposal needs to let us know what you wish to perform and how you sense your work fitting into the Meridian Music series. Just a few lines of text are fine; we're not after pages of information. You're also very welcome to enter a conversation with us about what you'd like to do. We're working artists and musicians and educators and we always enjoy talking with others in these fields. We want your experience with us to benefit you as well as us and that is why we look thoughtfully for good matches of performer and space.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely, Tom

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.

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
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.

Introducing SONUS.ca, a free online listening library
featuring all forms of experimental electronic music.
With over 1200 works from artists around the world,
SONUS.ca is the world's most extensive audio
web-resource dedicated to technology-based sound
exploration. Best of all, it's free to listen and
free to submit your work.
Sonus is built around a Flash interface, which makes
the site simple to use and navigate. It's easy to
create and modify playlists, or find music in the
library with the powerful search engine. Curated
galleries will be a regular feature, showcasing work
from different labels and festivals, or presenting
work chosen by a curator around a particular theme or
style.
With these features, Sonus is a great way to promote
your work. You can include biographical information,
track notes and links to personal webpages. So why not
send in your audio? The CEC will encode it as high
quality mp3 and include it in the Sonus library.
If you run a weblabel or have a personal webpage, you
can use Sonus to house your audio with a link directly
from your page. Contact us for more information.
Sonus.ca is supported by the membership of the CEC and
the Canada Council for the Arts. Sonus.ca is dedicated
to presenting experimental electronic music of all
kinds, and has attracted over a quarter of a million
listeners since its inception. Check it out:

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:

Performance art, video, installations, experimental music.
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.
Mailing address: Dangerous Curve, POB 532281, Los Angeles, CA 90053-2281
See dangerouscurve.org for directions, etc.
New Media Scotland calls for participation for Drift - an exploration
of sound art and experimental music which comprises live events,
radio broadcasts, moving image and publications.
The accessibility of the Internet together with new tools and methods
for digital recording, manipulation, reproduction and distribution
have changed forever the way that we think about and interact with
sound, giving us new ways to communicate our ideas. An increasing
number of artists, producers, DJ's and sonic creators, from a broad
spectrum of disciplines and varying modes of practice, are exploring
streaming media as a viable format. We want to open up this channel
further.
We are offering four opportunities to take part in Drift, details
follow. Further information, guidelines and application forms
available from the Drift web site:

feel free to come along and play something or just check it out.
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
involves living systems. discussion topics on organism include
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.
Please send a letter (and slides if possible) to The
Santa Fe Art Institute, 1600 St Michaels Drive, Santa Fe, NM 87505,
Or email to: info@SFAI.org

air conditioning that actually works
a dsl line useful for webcasting, along with possible access to a t-1
a no smoking space that doesn't leave you smelling smoky on your way out
much more noise insulation from the street than our old space
a collective of artist administrators that have busted their asses without pay for many months to keep our ongoing institutional experiment alive -- we need help
