The New York jazz ensemble Spooky Actions creates new arrangements of older
music, finding inspiration in the discipline and muted palette of twelve tone
counterpoint, the harmonic beauty of Olivier Messiaen, the narrow focus of

improvisations derived from music that is often thought of as "etched in stone."

ranging from the music of South India, West Africa, and Indonesia to the dada and
fluxus movements.

practices of improvisation has led him to establish ongoing, long-term relationships
with performers from a wide range of backgrounds. Returning to New York from
Finland, cellist Juho Laitinen frequently performs with leading Scandinavian
jazz musicians, and with his own ensemble "Group Seven." Christian Wolff has
had a particular interest in developing music that allows flexibility and ranges
of freedom, fostering a spirit of liberating interdependence, and drawing
material from traditions of popular political music.

La Mirada, CA:
Tom Flaherty Premiere
Dear Folks,
Adding to the nearly glutted field of music for viola, cello and
orchestra, I've written a new piece, "In the Midst of Darkness, Light
Persists," which will be performed this Saturday. I'd love to see you
there.
Carl Maria von Weber: Clarinet Concerto No. 1 in F Minor - Al Rice, clarinet
La Mirada Symphony, David Stenske, conductor
For the past few years, my wife Cindy and I have frequently performed
as Celliola, a viola/cello duo, and have developed a tradition of
commissioning and performing new works here and across the country.
When conductor David Stenske asked us to perform in this concert, my
first thought was to write something for the occasion, for the unusual
combination of viola, cello and orchestra.
Long before the piece was finished, the orchestra needed a title. After
hearing a few passages, Cindy mentioned a phrase by Gandhi which had
sustained her through the terrible days following September 11, 2001:
"In the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth truth
persists, in the midst of darkness light persists." The piece is not
really programmatic in a detailed way, but plays light against dark in
several ways. The dark viola and cello often play in their lowest
ranges, uncharacteristically so for solo parts with orchestra. At other
times they soar above the orchestra. The harmony, rhythmic
interactions, and orchestral textures range from dark and densely
dissonant to clear and brightly consonant.
"In the Midst of Darkness, Light Persists" is dedicated to David
Stenske and the La Mirada Symphony.

Los Angeles, CA:
Pianist Vicki Ray in concert at REDCAT, Jan. 24, 2006
Tuesday, January 24, 2006, 8:30pm
REDCAT begins its music programming this season with an exploration of
visual music by the virtuoso pianist Vicki Ray. This synaesthetic program
features Eve Beglarian's ethereal Cave, with video by Clifton Taylor; Clay
Chaplin's Tricomatic, a structured improvisation for piano and percussion
derived from the color, speed and mood of the video; Bruno Louchouarn's
ReTouR, an Orphic inquiry into the narrative shape of love gained and lost,
mediated and articulated by music for solo piano, video and tape; and Chris
Mich's award-winning experimental film MFL, a study in the perception of
movement, time, space and their correlation to planes, trains, trees,
freeways and evening gowns, with a score by Paul Oehlers. Ray's own music is
showcased in the world premiere of Jugg(ular)ling, accompanied by a video by
Tammy Ray; a new work coupled with Cross Contours by Dennis H. Miller, a
series of otherworldly unfoldings in video; and improvisations to three
films by early-cinema pioneer Germaine Dulac.
Program (in program order):
Pianist Vicki Ray performs widely as a soloist and collaborative artist. She
is a member of the award-winning California E.A.R. Unit and Xtet, and a
founding member of PianoSpheres, an acclaimed solo piano series dedicated to
exploring the less familiar realms of the piano repertoire. A long-time
champion of new music, Ms. Ray has had works written for her by composers
John Adams, Paul Dresher, Stephen Hartke, Kamran Ince, Shaun Naidoo, and
many others. Ms. Ray has been featured on the Los Angeles Philharmonic Green
Umbrella Series, with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the German ensemble
Compania and the Blue Rider Ensemble of Toronto with which she made the
first Canadian recording of Pierrot Lunaire. She has played on various
national and international festivals including the Salzburg Festival, the
Berlin 750 Jahre Festival and the Ojai Festival where she premiered a new
concerto with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Sir Simon Rattle. Her solo
recording, "from the left edge", a collection of works written for her by
composers living in California, can be found on the CRI label. As a pianist
who excels in a wide range of styles, Ms. Ray's numerous recordings cover
everything from the semi-improvised structures of Wadada Leo Smith to the
twisted groove base of John Adam's Road Movies, from the elegant serialism
of Mel Powell to the austere beauty of Morton Feldman's Crippled Symmetries.
Ms. Ray has been a member of the piano faculty at the California Institute
of the Arts since 1991.
Vicki Ray faculty bio
REVIEWS:
"Ray's pianism is lucid and clean, and always sensitive to the demands of
the music ... musical thoroughness and technical panache that puts a
composer's thoughts directly before the listener." –Los Angeles Times
"Phenomenal and fearless." –Alan Rich, LA Weekly
Boston:
NEC's Weilerstein Trio to Give World Premiere of Trivia
NEC's Weilerstein Trio to Give World Premiere of Trivia, Commissioned from Conservatory Colleague Michael Gandolfi
Free Concert January 25 in NEC's Jordan Hall Coincides with Release of Trio's New Dvorak Disc
New England Conservatory's Weilerstein Trio (Vivian Hornik Weilerstein, piano; Donald Weilerstein, violin; Alisa Weilerstein, cello) will present the world premiere of Michael Gandolfi's Trivia at its Jordan Hall concert, January 25, 2006. The trio commissioned the new work from Gandolfi, who like Vivian and Donald Weilerstein, is a member of the Conservatory faculty.
The 8 p.m. concert also celebrates the January 24 release of the Weilersteins' new Koch International recording of Dvorak Trios.
The title of Gandolfi's new work, Trivia, "derives from its Latin roots: tri- three, via road or path and its obvious reference to the piano trio and the three movement form," says the composer. Like several of his works, Trivia took its inspiration from a literary sourcein this case, Richard Wolfson's book Simply Einstein. The first movement, Multiverse, reflects "a fascinating chapter about our universe being but one small branch of a possibly infinite multiverse.'" The music, "in its contrapuntal developments of a single theme, describes several multiverses or branching sections." Similarly, the second movement, Time Traveler, "was inspired by Wolfson's explanations of Einstein's reference frames,' time dilation concepts and time travel." The last movement, Coursing, "is a fast-paced finale."
Surrounding the Gandolfi on the program will be trios by Dvorak and Schumann.
The Weilerstein Trio, NEC's piano trio in residence, first performed together publicly at the Round Top Festival in Texas when daughter Alisa was six years old. Highlights of the current and past seasons include concerts at Lincoln Center in New York City and at prominent venues in Washington, D.C., Cleveland, St. Louis, St. Paul, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Boston. The trio made their London debut last season at the Royal Academy of Music. They have been guests on the nationally broadcast radio program St. Paul Sunday, and NPR's Performance Today. Alisa and Vivian were featured last November in More Magazine and on the Jane Pauley Show in stories about mother/daughter professional teams. (For more on the Weilerstein Trio, visit the website beginning in January: www.weilersteintrio.com
Donald Weilerstein, founding first violinist of the Cleveland Quartet from 1969 to 1989, holds the Dorothy Richard Starling Chair in Violin at NEC. Early in his career, he won both the Munich International Competition for violin and piano duo and the Young Concert Artists Auditions. With the Cleveland Quartet, he toured the world and made many highly regarded recordings, including seven that earned Grammy nominations and Best of the Year awards from Time and Stereo Review. Weilerstein has taught and performed at many major American and European music festivals, including Caramoor, Aspen, Ravinia, Marlboro, Mostly Mozart, Salzburg, Lucerne, and Perlman Music Program. His students have won prizes in major international competitions, including Munich and the Naumburg and many now hold positions in major orchestras including the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Several string quartets he has coached have won prizes at such major chamber music competitions as the Coleman, Fischoff, and Banff. He also teaches at the Juilliard School.
Vivian Hornik Weilerstein, acclaimed by The New York Times as "a splendid pianist," is on the piano and chamber music faculties at NEC and also directs NEC's Professional Piano Trio Training Program. She is a frequent collaborator with many eminent artists and ensembles. She performs regularly with her husband Donald Weilerstein as the Weilerstein Duo, at venues such as Alice Tully Hall and the 92nd Street Y in New York City, and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington D.C. The duo has recorded the complete works of Ernest Bloch for violin and piano for Arabesque Records, earning rave reviews and inclusion as a "must" on Fanfare's annual "Want List". They have also recorded the Janacek, Dohnanyi, and Enesco Sonatas for Arabesque, and, most recently, the complete sonatas of Robert Schumann for Azica Records.The pianist has performed at the major American music festivals, including the Marlboro,Aspen, Chamber Music West, Music Academy of the West, the Perlman Music Program, Norfolk, Sarasota, Roundtop,LaJolla, Yellow Barn and Blue Hill. She was also a guest artist at the Young Musicians Festival in Israel, the Verbier Festival in Switzerland, and at the Daniel Days in Amsterdam. She is in demand for master classes and residencies throughout the country.
Alisa Weilerstein is internationally acclaimed asa soloist and chamber musician. Her highly praised debut disc, recorded with Vivian Hornik Weilerstein, was released on EMI Classics in 2000. That same year, she was awarded an Avery Fisher Career Grant. Ms. Weilerstein has performed as soloist with the New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre National de France, Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and the symphony orchestras of Baltimore, Bournemouth, Cincinnati, Colorado, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Tokyo, and San Francisco, among many others. During the 2006-07 seasons she will appear twice with the New York Philharmonic, with Lorin Maazel and Zubin Mehta. She was chosen by Carnegie Hall to be an "ECHO" Rising Star in 2001, and she is an alumna of Lincoln Center's Chamber Music Society II. Born in 1982, she made her debut with the Cleveland Orchestra at age 13 and her Carnegie Hall debut two years later. Ms. Weilerstein holds a bachelor's degree in history from Columbia University. (Check out Alisa's website at: www.alisaweilerstein.com
Michael Gandolfi, who began his involvement in music as a self-taught guitarist playing rock and jazz, received his B.M. and M.M. degrees in composition from New England Conservatory. He received additional training at the Yale Summer School of Music and Art, the Composers Conference, and the Tanglewood Music Center. Recipient of many awards and grants from the Fromm, Guggenheim, and Koussevitzky Foundations, Gandolfi has composed works for numerous orchestras including the Boston Symphony Orchestra. His widely praised Impressions from "The Garden of Cosmic Speculation" was premiered in August 2004 by Robert Spano and the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra and was subsequently performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the direction of David Zinman. In October, his Plain Song, Fantastic Dances, commissioned by the St. Botolph Club, was given its world premiere by the Boston Symphony Chamber Players.

acf/LA proudly presents the 19th Composer's Salon on Sunday, January 29th!!!!
We are starting off 2006 with a most intriguing mix of true mavericks and innovators: Sean
GRIFFIN, who is not only at home in the concert hall in La Jolla and the music theatre stage
in Berlin, but who as a composer also made it into the Whitney Biennial and is currently at
the Tate Modern in London (and he'll tell us why he belongs there just as much); Paul
COHEN, who will be demonstrating that a Cello can, and sometimes ought to, expand to
six amplified strings, and that he's not afraid to use them; and Adam RUDOLPH, early
innovator in the development of what is now called "World Music", collaborator with the
legendary Yusef Lateef, and most recently founder of the GO Orchestra, for which he has
invented a whole new process of organizing music in a large ensemble.
Details see below. Do NOT miss this! I mean it.

Barry Schrader 60th birthday retrospective concert at REDCAT
One of the biggest events for me in 2006 will be my 60th birthday retrospective concert at REDCAT Wednesday, February 22, at 8:30 P.M. This will be a multimedia celebration of my work from 1973 to the present, and will feature the world premiere of Fallen Sparrow with Mark Menzies on violin. Other featured performers will be pianist Vicki Ray and harpsichordist Barbara Cadranel . There will be films and videos by Michael Scroggins , Steve Eagle, Adam Beckett , and Jules Engel , and a new dance theater setting of the piece After Death by choreographer Kyu Hee Park, with video by Francesca Penzani. Also, there will be a presentation of Love, In Memoriam, sung by the late Frank Royon Le Mee, with poems by Michael Gluck, with a rarely seen documentary on Frank Royon Le Mee produced by the Cartier Foundation.
More information on this concert is available on the REDCAT web site. Although I'm somewhat prejudiced, I think this will be a terrific presentation and I hope to see many of the readers of this newsletter there. Also, in conjunction with the concert, I'll be doing a special interview with Martin Perlich on KCSN-FM, 88.5 in Los Angeles, at 4:00 P.M. PST on Thursday, February 16. The program will be available streaming on the web at Listen LIVE to KCSN . For those outside of the Los Angeles area, the program will stream live at 00:00 GMT (UTC).

Antonio Puri: Outside the Mandala
December 16, 2005 to January 29, 2006
When viewing the work of Antonio Puri, his large scale canvases, can only be described as a fully encompassing experience of color, texture, and form. Puris paintings depict a delicate balance of sharp and concise circular forms, combined with a more improvisational and spontaneous application of paint and wax. His paintings are an unprecedented hybrid. He has taken the ancient Eastern technique of batik and applied it to mixed media and oil paints on canvas, creating a new form, the batik canvas. By using this modifiedprocess, Puri is able to capture the very essence of his gestures as he attacks the canvas. Through this process, layers once covered, are exposed after the wax is removed, thus revealing the evolution of the work over time. However at times, Puri uses strings as a resist, instead of wax.
Ultimately, Puri'sart form engages the viewer in an active level of deciphering and imagining the works in various stages of completion. As Puri writes in his artist statement, by contrasting highly textured surfaces with flat surfaces, vertical and horizontal drips, circles of different proportions a tension develops. This tension is the force that keeps the paintings alive. Many of the paintings on view in Outside the Mandala were created while Puri was a part of the chashama artist-in-residence subsidized space grant in New York.
Puri was born in Chandigarh, India, and spent the first 17 years of his life in international boarding schools in the Himalayas. He came to the United States to attend Coe College in Iowa, where he majored in art. Puri also studied at the San Francisco Academy of Art and attended the University of Iowa School of Law where he earned his JD. Puri has had several solo exhibitions including Weiss Pollack Gallery, New York; chashama, New York; Holland Art House, West Chester, PA; Gloucester County College, NJ; Cumberland County College, NJ; and Planet Art Museum, South Africa. He has also exhibited in numerous group exhibitions including the Susquehanna Art Museum, PA; Bergen Museum of Art and Science, NJ; The Noyes Museum of Art, NJ; Sharadin Art Gallery at Kutztown University, PA; Rowan University, NJ; and Som Arts Cultural Center, San Francisco, among many others. His work is also represented in museum and corporate collections and he is currently planning for two large-scale exhibitions in 2006 at West Chester University, West Chester, PA and the Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville, NJ.

Binarykatwalk announces the launch of its first edition.
Binarykatwalk.net
Binary Katwalk is an on-line New Media exhibition focusing on work that is experimental
and would benefit from this non-traditional exhibition space. The goal
of the site is to unify works over time into one expanding and unified
exhibition as opposed to specific exhibitions that open and then close or
go to a secondary archive. It is co-curated by Jeremy Hight and Sindee
Nakatani.
Come to Binary Katwalk to see the work of 5 strong artists from very
different points in the spectrum of New Media.

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,

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.

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

"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!
Sincerely, Tom

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

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

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

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.

I direct the CSU-LA New Music Ensemble. Thanks to the lively repertoire chosen for this group, it has become a favorite of our student pianists. So popular with these fine students that I am often in need of duo piano works.

Proposals for new, original, interdisciplinary works will be accepted
for a "Commissioned" category. Works must be created by a team
consisting of two or more members, and must combine two or more areas
of creative expression and contain a major technology component.
Proposals will be accepted for performances, concerts, showings or
installations; completed works will be presented during the symposium.
Proposals must include detailed technical and production requirements,
and a proposed budget. Limit of one proposal per team. The piece must
not have been previously published, performed or exhibited. Awards
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.
