BH, MG (2005)
Thursday, December 1st
BH, MG (Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais) and The Cervantes Meditations will both premiere on the same night, the same venue, but as part of different events.
The Cervantes Meditations was composed for the closing of a Don Quixote Symposium to be held by the CSU Dominguez Hills Foreign Languages Department. The multi-media piece includes projected designs of iconic Quixote, Cervantes, and Iberian images. The following event in La Corte Hall, scheduled for 8:30 PM, is a recital by soprano saxophone master Doug Masek accompanied by guitarist James Smith. BH, M G, homage to my wife Nanci's Brazilian city of birth, is an up-tempo samba romp filled with curious twists and crucial turns.

World Music Institute presents
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2005 8:00 P.M.
Wadada Leo Smith & Alan Kushan
Merkin Concert Hall - 129 W. 67th Street
The acclaimed Intepretations contemporary music series, now in its 17th year, will continue on December 1st with the New York premiere of Tabligh, a cross-cultural collaborative work composed by Wadada Leo Smith and Alan Kushan. Integrating American improvisational music, Persian classical music and poetry with the Sufi devotional practice of Zikr central to the work, the performance will feature prominent names in contemporary and cross-cultural music. Smith's Golden Quartet, comprised of Wadada Leo Smith (trumpet), Nasheet Waits (drums) Vijay Iyer (piano) and John Lindberg (bass), will share the stage with Rumi's Disciple, an ensemble with Alan Kushan (santur - hammered dulcimer, voice), Amir Koushkani (tar - Persian lute, sitar - Indian lute, voice) and Saam Schlamminger (tonbak - goblet drum, daff - frame drum).
Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith, trumpet-player/multi-instrumentalist/composer/ improviser, has been active in the creative contemporary world music for over thirty years. His theory of jazz and world music was significant in his music development as an artist and educator. He has studied a variety of music cultures (African, Japanese, Indonesian, European and American) and developed a jazz and world music theory and a notation system to fully express this music which he calls "Ankhrasmation." Born in Leland, Mississippi, he began his early musical life in high school concert and marching bands. At the age of thirteen, he became immersed in the Delta blues and improvisational music traditions. He received his formal musical education with his father, the U.S. military band program (1963), Sherwood School of Music (1967-9), and Wesleyan University (1975-6). He has composed music for solo, ensemble, classical and creative orchestra and theater. His Nda-Kulture ensemble has performed most of his music since 1970. His compositions have also been played by Ursula Oppens, Marilyn Crispell, David Rosenboom, Vickie Ray, the AACM Orchestra, the Kronos Quartet, the Da Capo Chamber Players, the S.E.M. Ensemble and California E.A.R. Unit. He has performed with Muhal Richard Abrams, Anthony Braxton, Leroy Jenkins, Roscoe Mitchell, Joseph Jarman, George Lewis, Cecil Taylor, Andrew Cyrille, Oliver Lake, Anthony Davis, Carla Bley, David Murray, Don Cherry, Tadao Sawai, Han Bennink, Misja Mengelberg, Marion Brown, Kazutoki Umezu, and Charlie Haden,among others. Currently a professor of music at the California Institute of the Arts, he is the director of the MFA program in African American Improvisation. He is a member of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians.
Alan Kushan, composer/vocalist/instrumentalist, is best known for his techniques and performances in avant-garde music on his self-made santur. His travels as a child throughout Iran, India, Pakistan, Israel, Russia, China, Japan, Turkey, and Europe laid the foundation for his love and understanding of global music and culture. He studied music composition in Zurich, Kln and Berlin and continued his further education in improvisation with Sir Yehudi Menuhin and avant-garde theory with Karlheinz Stockhausen. Not satisfied with range of his chosen instrument, he became an accomplished instrument builder. He expanded the range of the traditional santur by adding elements from the modern piano, harp and guitar; this resulted in a new and powerful instrument, which embodies the musical textures of the ancient and the new. His extensive credits include performing and collaborating with Miles Davis, Paco De Lucia, Max Roach, Billy Cobham, Ronald Shannon Jackson and Mickey Hart, among others. He resides in New York City where he is finishing work on his new symphony. His current collaborators include Persian singer Sussan Deyhim, film composer Richard Horowitz, flutist Robert Dick, trumpet player Roy Campbell Jr, bazantar player Mark Deutsch, and bass player Daniele Patumi.
This program is made possible in part with public funds made available by the New York State Council on the Arts, a State agency. Additional funding is provided by the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust.
Upcoming Interpretations concerts include:

Serial Underground 2005
Where: Cornelia Street Cafe (29 Cornelia Street, NYC)
Box office: 212.663.1967 (advance purchase discount available)
ComposersCollaborative inc's (CCi) Serial Underground introduces new multidisciplinary concert theater collaborations the second Monday of the month at the legendary Cornelia Street Cafe, NYC. Doors open at 8:30 pm.
Composer/pianist Jed Distler (CCi artistic director) opens the September 12th evening with his own The Anthem atWoodstock(1996) for piano, a salvo to Jimi Hendrix's historic performance.
You might notice a political thread in our September 12 program directed by Arnold Barkus. David Lovett's lighting design adds glitz to the underground experience.
As of 1998 "the ever imaginative ComposersCollaborative" (Time Out) has presented such new music fare as the Solo Flights and Non Sequitur
festivals. Launched in the fall of 2004, Serial Underground presents multidisciplinary collaborations between composers, playwrights, directors,
spoken word artists. Allan Kozinn (New York Times) contextualizes Serial Underground, CCi's monthly performances in the basement of the Cornelia
Street Cafe "Informal performances of concert works were part of the musical ecology, and to some extent part of the ecology of urban night life
as well. That tradition lasted into the 20th century, when ... "serious music" reserved the concert hall as its home, and jazz (and later other popular forms) took its place at street level. ... Composers Collaborative and its inventive artistic director, the composer and pianist Jed Distler,
have decided that this [lost] intimacy [between listeners and performers] is worth recapturing."
The Cornelia Street Cafe has presented an enormous variety of artists, from singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega to poet-senator Eugene McCarthy, from members of Monty Python to members of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Upstairs there is a beautiful oak bar, and 3 dining rooms. And there is a real kitchen, which garners much acclaim such as the 1998 Village Arts Award for "inspired cuisine."
about the Serial Underground artists on September 12, 2005 program:
Artistic Director of ComposersCollaborative, composer/pianist Jed Distler is developing a concert theater work, Everbest, Virgil, with director Arnold
Barkus for premiere at the Krannert Center of the University of Illinois. Jed is also collaborating with playwright Ed Schmidt (The Last Supper) on The Gold Standard, a piano theater work about a slightly disgruntled pianist. Highlights of the past season include solo performances in NYC at Joe's Pub and with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company at BAM, and a commission from Symphony Space for their Wall-to-Wall Sondheim. For the full scope of Jed's musical life, visit Composers Collaborative inc.
Pianist and composer David Hanlon is a member of the Anechoic and Tactus Contemporary Ensembles, with whom he has performed as a soloist and ensemble member in works such as Rzewski's De Profundis, Reich's Music for 18 Musicians, Xenakis's Palimpsest, and the American premiere of Michael Gordon's Decasia. He has also played with Newband in Harry Partch's Oedipus, the first staged production of the work since its first performance. David regularly travels to Egypt to perform recitals of classical, contemporary, and improvised works and to study Arabic music on the oud. A trained actor and director, David takes particular delight in participating in theatrical performances and writing theatrical music. He graduated from Wesleyan with a double major in Classics and Music and earned his Masters at Manhattan School of Music.
"...An exceptionally sensitive pianist" (Gramophone), Jenny Lin has earned a growing reputation for her adventurous programming and charismatic stage presence. Her performances have taken her to Carnegie Recital Hall, Kennedy Center, Miller Theatre, MoMA, Whitney Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, BAM Next Wave Festival, Flanders Festival, Divonne Festival, Festival Ars Musica, with orchestras and ensembles such as Ensemble Contrechamps, and Elliott Sharp's Orchestra Carbon. Jenny's latest album "Preludes to a Revolution" on the Grammy-winning Hnssler Classic features Russian Piano Preludes from 1905-1922. Scheduled for release in 2005/6 are CDs for Hnssler, Koch Records, and AEON.
A veteran of the European touring scene, lighting designer David Lovett worked for the Almeida Theatre in London; designed pieces for Scottish Opera, Attic Theatre, Newcastle Playhouse, The Matrix Ensemble; realized John Cage's installation piece Essay in Barcelona and a tour of Cage's Europeras 3 & 4. For the Aldeburgh Festival, he lit the world premiere of John Tavener's Mary of Egypt, and re-lit Robert Wilson's Hamletmachine on the European tour. David has been on board with CCi since 2002.
Walt Christopher Stickney was born August 30, 1944. He received a B.A. in English and comparative literature from the University of Pennsylvania. His books include To Night: Little David On Mouth-Harp, Cover My Souls, one and five minute pose-pomes, The Bethesda Preludes, and How To Live With An Actor. He has performed widely in Europe and the United States. He received an award from The National Endowment for the Arts and several awards from the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities including the 1st individual grant award.

CHICAGO:
Lampo
Friends,
Lampo is pleased to announce its Fall 2005 schedule. Details below.
- Thomas Lehn and Marcus Schmickler (Sept 10)
All events at 2116 W. Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Ill.
Fall 2005
THOMAS LEHN AND MARCUS SCHMICKLER
Lehn (analog synthesizer) and Schmickler (digital synthesizer and computer)
perform together in Chicago for the first time. Two heavyweights from
Cologne, they are. Agog and gaga, Lampo is.
Thomas Lehn (b. 1958) has been working as a performer, interpreter, composer
and improviser since the early 80s. In addition to his duo with Schmickler,
ensemble work includes Gerry Hemingway, Gnter Christmann, Eugene
Chadbourne, Paul Lovens, Raymond Strid, and trio Konk Pack with Tim
Hodgkinson and Roger Turner.
Marcus Schmickler (b. 1968) has been involved with numerous projects,
including the seminal group Kontakta. As a solo artist, he has created
important works such as Wabi Sabi, Sator Rotas and Param, as well as three
CDs under the name Pluramon. While rooted in electronic music, he also has
a background in contemporary composition, having studied under Stockhausen
collaborator Johannes Fritsch. Schmickler also has worked in the house and
techno scenes, both on his own and with musicians such as Thomas Brinkmann
and Cristian Vogel.
KEITH ROWE
Solo Rowe -- an evening of improv from the famed British tabletop guitarist
and radio manipulator.
In the mid 60s, Keith Rowe (b. 1940, Plymouth) began to develop his own
idiosyncratic guitar technique, setting the instrument flat on a table and
preparing it with various tools: transistor radio, contact microphones,
pedals, bows, springs, mini handheld fans and various metal scraps. He is
co-founder (and former member) of the groundbreaking collective AMM, and
current all-star in MIMEO (the 12-piece Music in Movement Electronic
Orchestra, which also includes Lehn and Schmickler).
JESSICA RYLAN
Jessica Rylan (aka Can;t) overlays voice and DIY electronics to make music
"as warm and direct as an autumn campfire." Here, she calls forth swishy and
fluttery sounds from the Natural Synthesizer, one of her recently completed
homemade synths. Think: tree branches waving in the wind or frogs croaking.
Spin: "New Secret" (RRR) her superb picture disc and so-called noise album.
Jessica Rylan (b. 1974, London) is a sound artist and electronic musician
who lives and performs in the Boston area, where she grew up. The main
focus of her work has been the design and construction of modular
synthesizers that use analog electronic circuits. She uses her synthesizers
in installations at galleries (LIST Gallery for Visual Arts at MIT, the
Boston Center for Contemporary Art, Bard College) and also in her
high-energy musical performances.
STEPHAN MATHIEU
For his Chicago debut, Mathieu will present "Radioland," a suite of
computer-processed live AM radio, accompanied by a fast, random video
flicker of 256 colors.
Stephan Mathieu (b. 1967, Saarbruecken) spent the 90s in Berlin as an
improviser playing drums. In 1998 he made a radical switch to the digital
domain. A composer, performer and installation artist, Mathieu has created
sound installation works for the cultural heritage monument Volklinger
Hutte, Germany, and elsewhere and has released more than 10 albums for
labels such as Orthlorng Musork, Ritornell, Lucky Kitchen and Fallt, both
solo and in collaboration with Ekkehard Ehlers, among others. He also
teaches Digital Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design HBKSaar,
Saarbruecken, and has worked as a guest lecturer at the Royal Academy of
Arts, Gteberg, the Bauhaus University, Weimar and the Merz-Akademie in
Stuttgart, Germany.
ALESSANDRO BOSETTI
Bosetti, in his first local performance, presents solo work for voice and
electronics.
He also will premiere "Scena Muta," a project that he will complete in the
days immediately preceding his Lampo concert. For this new work, Bosetti
will make video portraits of Chicagoans listening to his short compositions
with headphones, after which he will destroy the music. Only the video
document of people listening, and the incidental sounds they make while
listening, will remain.
Alessandro Bosetti (b. 1973, Milan) is a composer, soprano saxophonist and
sound artist. He is interested in the musicality of spoken words and
different aspects of spoken communication, often employing field research
and interviews to gather material for his abstract text-sound compositions.
As a saxophonist, he has developed an original extended technique.
Collaborators include Michel Doneda, Axel Doerner, Annette Krebs and Andrea
Neumann.

Their fresh, networked interfaces look to a variety of means to utilize the internet, as playground, platform or paintbrush.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mediatopia.2 fresh!
Artists create art in cyberspace, but can you hang it on a wall?
Mediatopia.2 fresh! assembles an exciting mix of recent net-based work by a diverse group of neoteric artists, creatives and thinkers. Their fresh, networked interfaces look to a variety of means to utilize the Internet, both as creative medium and as a channel to share and distribute their output. The Internet, with its network functionality and potential for user interaction, is their creative playground: a form to manipulate and a means of social or political expression. Mediatopia.2 fresh! is a net-based opportunity for artists to gain exposure for their culture work. Mediatopia.2 fresh! is produced by Adhocarts.org, a non-profit media-arts organization. Lara Bank and Andrew Bucksbarg worked together to curate a program from recent work submitted internationally that uses the Internet as a playground, platform or paintbrush.
Jessica Ivan's Retrotype historically traces female representation in video games through an interface that allows the participant to personalize and question the object of their gaze. Do you live in East L.A. and long to live closer to celebrities in a gated community? Carlos Katastrofsky performs Neighborhood and Area Research for you, so you can discover who your IP address neighbors are in cyberspace. On the Internet, distance is collapsed as ideologues are brought closer together. Michael Takeo Magruder's
Together these disparate works signify the production, both singularly and collaboratively, of persons whose concerns go beyond the instance of capital and reach outward to the cultural center of what digital media can mean for human expression and communication. Their work is a mirror before us that traces both our success and failure: together and separate in the network. These words may wish to provide an overview or representation of their work, but fail to provide the one thing these artists considered as they created their work- your interaction. This interaction forms a means to destabilize the relation of the author or creator, bringing in the user as an active director or participant in the process.
Artist's work created for the Internet poses problems for persons, museums or galleries who would collect and display it. Internet Art is not easily installed in these traditional spaces, and although digital information does not degrade, the technology that expresses it is constantly changing and upgrading. Software evolves, computers and their operating systems change, as well as progressive modifications to the human-computer interface, making it difficult to collect and archive this kind of work. Net-based art is ephemeral under these circumstances.
Artists who create "net.art,' have another problem at hand as well. How do you create value for something that is distributed on a network and available to anyone with a computer and connection? Historically, most art, aside from live performance, is based upon its being a one-of-a-kind object that maintains or even gains value as a collected piece. This makes raising funds for or selling this work a difficult proposition. Rachel Greene, author of Internet Art, writes, "Internet Art has less to do with objects of social prestige, and little, at least currently, to do with the cosmopolitan art businesses that thrive in New York, Cologne, London and other culture capitals.' These limitations have given artists who work with the Internet a kind of freedom and revelry of exploration, as well as a particular tool for cultural and institutional critique. Many artists see the Internet as a cause to really challenge fundamental elements of humanity: identity, methods of communication, technology, politics and the institution. These artists understand that people expanded by the Internet all over the world, are brought together in cyberspace.
The Internet was launched in 1989 by the British scientist Tim Berners-Lee. As the use of the Internet grew, so did a community of artists who began to utilize it as a creative medium by the mid 1990s. Some of the early practitioners of Internet Art were Post-Communist East Europeans and organizations like the Ljudmila Media Center in Slovenia, supported by George Soros's Open Society Institute. Much of the practice of Internet Art also saw support in media arts festivals in Europe during this time. Internet Art has grown over the years as the Internet has seen increased use and is now getting more recognition from the traditional formats of museums and galleries.
Artists will continue to participate in the social uses of new technology. They will take part in future network technologies and cultures, where the Internet will be augmented by shared virtual space. People on the network will come together in synthetic worlds to create, communicate and recreate. This is already occurring in online multi-player games and environments like Second Life (http://secondlife.com), which include their own economies. Objects and land can be bought and sold and complex social transactions take place in these ephemeral, digital realms that exist on servers. Some artists, such as Chris Burke, are hacking online multi-user games for other purposes, such as a talk show in game space (http://www.thisspartanlife.com).
Artists have a long history of socially relevant communication from within the culture they are steeped. Mediatopia.net and its supporting organization, Adhocarts, offer perspective to this process in the continually shifting phenomena of cyberspace. Mediatopia.net is produced by Adhocarts (http://adhocarts.org), which sponsors a variety of expressions that fall on the lines of interconnecting disciplines, theories, technologies and cultures. Adhocarts.org is a non-profit collaboration supporting arts and culture by producing avenues for creative expression and thought both online and off. Adhocarts.org was founded in 2000 and exists as a catalyst for work that uses technology and hypermedia, such as net.art, installation, digital video, writing and live art.
We still believe in net-based culture. Mediatopia.net

The Invisible Guy
is online now!
Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Fellow Cyber-Surfers:
This is to let you know that my latest and current project, The Invisible Guy, is now officially online. Over three years in the making (and still in progress), it consists of lots and lots of music - surf tunes, humorous songs, a couple of tangos, and some demented anachronistic pop stylings not easy to describe - and for every number a scene (delivered in prose, I'm afraid; no flash cartoons or videos. You have to enjoy a good read).
These will be uploaded every Friday for the next 40 to 50 weeks, much like a serial novel. So to enjoy the full ride you'll have to keep coming back. It's cumulative though; once up there, every episode will be permanently available and accessible any time.
You are invited to get your first glimpse of The Invisible Guy right now at the above URL. Listen to the theme song, meet the gorgeous but wicked Zipper Ripper, and learn a bit of trivia.
This is a free online entertainment from the Leisure Planet.
(By the way, view it in Netscape if you can. Some stuff doesn't look right otherwise, and I'm not sure why.)
Thanks,

Plugged ~ In
18 April 2005
Dear Friends,
I wanted to let you know that we have just launched The Memory Theater, an iPod opera.
Serialized as 49 playlists between April 10, 2005 and February 24, 2007, The Memory Theater is a retelling of Cathedral's 5 moments through the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.
The Fanfare (Program 1) has begun, and the Prologue will begin on April 24.
Featuring the pan-genre global collective Cathedral Band, The Chronicler, and the voices from the web, The Memory Theater is crafted especially for the sound world of the iPod.
I hope you'll be able to join Nora and me as we begin this new chapter in the Cathedral story.
Best wishes to all,

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

"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."

Among the prizes awarded for acoustic creation, the Phonurgia Nova competition has, since 1986, occupied a special place by virtue of its recognition of artists whose work exploits sound as a medium for expressing the real and the imaginary. In 2003, 150 productions from 19 different countries were entered in the prize.
This year's competition will distinguish authors whose work manifests a keen sense of sound and listening as means of expression, on two areas :
RADIO ARTS will privilige all forms of inventive radiophonic creation: documentary,
fiction, essays, interviews, radio mix, Hrspiel, experimental forms etc.
NEW MEDIAS awards will go to sound installations or sonic works which have been specially created for "new media" to bring new experiences in sound art to listeners - mobile phone, audioblog, site exploring the acoustic dimensions of the net.

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!

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.
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

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
Longwood Cyber Studio is equipped with four NT networked pc
workstations, Internet accessibility, software programs such as
Microsoft Office 2000, the entire Adobe suite including Photoshop,

administrative office as regards your telephone and fax needs. While
they are well aware that access to computer and office equipment only
offers relief of a material nature, they hope that relief may help to
assuage some of the worries of those affected by this loss. Bronx

8:30 - Groundbreaking flutist, Robert Dick working with the words and text of two different poets including Bruce Lawder's "The Sound" which was premiered by Robert at Dartmouth last January, and with the anonymous random word texts that spammers send blocks of in an effort to get through spam filters.
9:30 - Improv-goddess Kali. Z. Fasteau creates wild and pan-cultural jazz. This internationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and composer performs on soprano saxophone, voice, nai flutes, piano, drums, sanza, and mizmar, along with master drummer Ron McBee on djembe, berimbau and African percussion, the incredible Michael Ray on trumpet and voice, and wise wordsmith Carletta Joy Walker.
8:30 - Composer/violinist, Jason Kao Hwang and Sang Won Park(kayagum, ajang, voice) now working as a duo, have collaborated for over fifteen years in The Far East Side Band. Their cross-cultural improvisations continue to evolve.
9:30 - Strike Anywhere Ensemble, led by actor Leese Walker, developing signature sets of short performance pieces where they use structures from Jazz and popular forms as the parameters within which to improvise. Working title is "3D Jazz". Set "melodies" are composed which might be text, dance, music or some combo and then ordered in song form. Different disciplines play the different musical roles one would find in a band. So the dancer could play the bass function and the actors might function like the horn section.
8:30 - Cornetist, Taylor Ho Bynum, and dancer, Rachel Bernsen working on a performance duo, trying to move away from the traditional confines of dance/music collaboration and [move] towards creating a shared interdisciplinary improvisational language.
9:20 - Saxophonist and Lyriconist, Jorrit Dijkstra working with sculptor and painter Marieken Cochius whose art works will be on display downstairs specifically for their performance/collaboration.
10:10 - Guitarist Rolf Sturm presents his project "456" performing with silent film and video. Rolf is joined by Bohdan Hilash: bass clarinet, Rob Henke: trumpet, Jody Espina: sax, Alan Brady: clarinet, Jim Whitney: bass
Big Bang promises to be a fun, educational and yes, even nutritional series of discovery, open dialogue, and creative exploration between many different art forms. Come join us!

CONCERT I
PITCH BLACK: The Music of Jacob ter Veldhuis
Jacob ter Veldhuis has emerged as one of the Netherlands' most engaging and provocative contemporary composers. Strongly influenced by rock, his musical language employs expressive, stylistic collisions that eviscerate distinctions between high and popular idioms. His compositions for saxophones and boom box incorporate samples ranging from Chet Baker to the Jerry Springer Show to religious fanatics in Times Square.

Salvatore Sciarrino: Pagine & Canzoniere da Scarlatti
The artistry of the renowned Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino and the "gentle, reedy beauty" (New York Times) of the PRISM Quartet meet in this exploration of elaborazioni of classical and jazz icons. Sciarrino, following in the tradition of contemporary Italian composers who were also scholarly devotees of western composition, stunningly adapts music by Gesualdo, Bach, Scarlatti, Mozart, Gershwin, and Cole Porter.

will be granted at the discretion of the Center. Submissions not
accepted for the commissioned category will also be reviewed for the
general submissions category. Accepted commissions will be awarded a
stipend of $3000 and a residency at Connecticut College between March
27 and April 1 that includes:
- performance or installation of the accepted work
- workshops with students
- attendance at the symposium
- presentation at the symposium
A two-page extended abstract or complete paper, including technical
requirements, must be submitted by email or mail. Upon acceptance,
revised papers must be submitted electronically by January 31, 2006 as
a PDF. Complete technical requirements for presentation must be
included. Papers will be published by the Center in the symposium
proceedings. All rights will remain with the author. Papers will be
selected for twenty-minute presentations as part of the daily schedule
of speakers. Papers may be grouped by the Center in a panel discussion
format.
Proposals for panel discussions are encouraged. Proposals should
include names of prospective panelists and topic, which should address
the general areas of the symposium. Papers may be grouped by the
Center in a panel discussion format.
In addition to academic and theoretical papers, submissions of
technology-based or technology-oriented creative works are encouraged.
Maximum one proposal per person or team, and we reserve the right not
to review multiple pieces in a single submission. All submissions must
be accompanied by a one-page description/abstract for presentation at
the symposium about the work, a list of complete technical needs,
biography and contact information. See specific categories for
additional requirements. All presenters and artists are encouraged to
speak about their work at the symposium. Symposium registration will be
required for all symposium attendees.
MUSIC COMPOSITIONS
Music submissions (composition, performance, theory, interactivity,
signal processing and music understanding) are encouraged. Works for
instruments, digital media, CD or interactive compositions are also
being solicited for "tape only" concerts or live performance. Works
should not exceed 15 minutes in length and should be submitted with
accompanying score, where appropriate. Music must be submitted on CD
for review, with accompanying scores as required. Musicians, dancers
and actors may be available for live performance pieces. All
submissions must be accompanied by a one page description/abstract for
presentation at the symposium about the work. Complete technical and
performance requirements must be included.
Computer-generated or computer-aided dance compositions and theater
works are being solicited for live demonstrations or for videotaped
presentations. Specially produced dance or theater videos are of
particular interest as opposed to concert tapes or other archival uses
of video. Also of interest are proposals for workshops, demonstrations
of software for dance or theater notation, choreographic analysis,
interactive studies and/or multi-media studies of performance in dance
and theater. Performances may be accepted, but will be limited by
technical needs and financial considerations. All submissions should be
accompanied by a web site, CD, DVD or VHS, and one page
description/abstract for presentation at the symposium about the work,
biography, contact details, and complete technical needs and spatial
requirements.
