Japan, and recorded several CDs. Anatoliy Trofimov is a skillful arranger of
all of the ensemble's repertoire. In 1997 the Russian Duo performed at
Carnegie Hall in the gala America Salutes Moscow. In 1999 and 2004 they were

cities. In the summer of 2004 Russian Duo was invited to participate in Bard
Music Festival's Shostakovich Festival. They performed for the production of
two famous Shostakovich operas The Nose and Moscow: Cherry Tree Towers.

NYC:
Wiener Philharmonic returns with "Doody Calls"
The Wiener Philharmonic returns with "Doody Calls," an original new sketch comedy show every Friday in February at The PIT! The New York Times calls The Wiener Philharmonic "A delightfully sophomoric young comedy troupe." "Doody Calls" is written and directed by Jon Friedman (ECNY Best Writer, The Rejection Show.)
"Doody Calls" is a grouping of sketches, scenes, and short films portraying everyday situations that cause anxiety, stress, and awkwardness and attacks them with hilarious absurdity.
-Jon Friedman speaking about "DOODY CALLS"
The Wiener Philharmonic is:
"DOODY CALLS"
Yes, you must grow up, but no one ever mentions that you
also need to lapse back into adolescence every once in a
while. The good folks at the Wiener Philharmonic offer a
brief sophomoric jaunt that's guilt-free and fun.

Pianists Susan Grace and Alice Rybak bring together two distinguished
careers. Each has earned recognition as a soloist and chamber musician in
the United States and abroad. Both artists share a special interest in the
vast repertoire for two pianos and the unique collaboration involved in its
performance. Quattro Mani, formed in 1989, has gained international
recognition with performances in Spain, Korea and many cities in the United
States. Their special interest in twentieth century repertoire has led to
collaborations with such composers as George Crumb, Joan Tower and Frederic
Rzewski and to participation in contemporary music festivals throughout the
USA and Europe.
Following the release of Quattro Mani's debut CD, A Game of Go, Fanfare
wrote: "Grace and Rybak play all of this music with power and intelligence,
shaping large expressive phrases. Quattro Mani's blistering performance
forms the beating heart of an arresting recital." Quattro Mani's next CD - a
recording of George Crumb's music for two pianos - was issued by Bridge
Records, and immediately nominated as Best Chamber Music CD of the Year by
the International Critics Committee of the Cannes Classic Awards. This CD
received Fanfare's Critics Choice and highest ratings from France's
Repertoire as well as from ClassicsToday.com. Speaking about Quattro Mani,
the Pulitzer Prize-winning Crumb writes: "The duo piano team Quattro Mani is
one of the very finest I have heard. Susan Grace and Alice Rybak are
wonderful artists and their performances are both technically and musically
superb." Quattro Mani has been featured on two recent critically acclaimed
discs: The Music of Poul Ruders, Vol. 4 and Complete Crumb Edition, Vol. 8,
which was chosen as one of the top 10 CD's for 2004 by Amazon.com. Their
most recent disc is Harmony for a New World. Quattro Mani is on the
International Roster of Steinway Artists.
Alice Rybak is an instructor of piano and director of the accompanying
program at the University of Denver's Lamont School of Music. The winner of
several prestigious competitions and awards, Ms. Rybak entered The Julliard
School at age seven, where she studied piano with Herbert Stessin. She has
studied piano and chamber music with Menahem Pressler, Abbey Simon, and
Janos Starker at Indiana University's School of Music. In demand as both
soloist and collaborative artist, Ms. Rybak has performed throughout the
country, including performances with the Colorado Symphony; Amarillo
Symphony; and National Repertory Orchestras, as well as appearances at New
York's Town Hall; and the 92nd Street Y. As the winner of the United States
Information Agency's Artistic Ambassador competition, she presented five
weeks of concerts and master classes throughout India, Thailand, and
Malaysia and has also appeared at the Taipei Arts Festival.
Ms. Rybak has performed with a wide variety of musicians including
violinists Rachel Barton, Dylana Jenson and Sergiu Schwartz and Metropolitan
Opera mezzo-soprano Judith Christin. She was a member of the Colorado
Chamber Players for ten years and was also the pianist of the Denver Trio.
She teaches at Indiana University's School of Music Summer Piano Academy and
has also recorded for Crystal Records.
Susan Grace has performed solo and chamber recitals, and has appeared as
soloist with orchestras in the United States, Europe, the former Soviet
Union, China and India. Additionally, she has performed in numerous series
and festivals, including the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C.; the
Grand Teton Festival; Music at Oxford; and the Helmsley Festival in England.
She has toured with the Goldnagle Duo in Hungary, Munich and other venues in
southern Germany as a piano trio. Ms. Grace and her husband, Michael, have
toured with a concert titled Piano Music and Painting; these programs, which
include slides of the paintings upon which the piano compositions are based,
have been presented recently on numerous series, including those at Florida
International University; Bucknell University; the Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts; South Dakota State University; the Loveland Civic Music
Association; and the University of Lueneburg, Germany. In 2005 Ms. Grace,
sponsored by the American Embassy, presented concerts of American piano
music in India. She will be returning to India in the fall of 2006. As a
collaborative artist, Ms. Grace has performed with cellist Janos Starker,
violinists Martin Chalifour, Glenn Dicterow and Jose-Luis Garcia,
clarinetist David Shifrin, soprano Martile Rowland and many other
internationally known musicians.

Pamela Z performs VOCI in Budapest Feb 23, 2006
Pamela Z's VOCI
VOCI
Composed, Performed, and Written by Pamela Z
Venue Info: www.trafo.hu
Voci (Voices) is a full-evening, multimedia performance work exploring the sonic, cultural, physical, and artistic worlds of the voice, celebrating the broad range of colours in the singing voice and speaking voice, and examining scientific and cultural phenomena around the voice and the many metaphors for voice. In addition to Pamela Z's dramatic performance work with voice and live electronic processing, Voci features vivid, tall video projections designed by filmmakers Jeanne Finley and John Muse and a stunning lighting design by Elaine Buckholtz.
Written, composed, and performed by Pamela Z, Voci consists of layered, dynamically varied segments incorporating live electroacoustic vocal work with real-time digital processing, vocal samples (triggered with a gesture controller), and video. The stage is alive with unexpected visual and auditory transformations, and from time to time, Z performs "virtual duets" with some surprise guests who appear in the form of video samples.
These segments approach voice as anatomy, as character, as identifier, and communicator. The piece weaves stories about voice together with arias, non-verbal utterances, choruses of "real" and synthetic voices, fragments of scientific information, beautiful and terrifying cries and whispers.
(Pamela Z's Voci is generously supported by Creative Capital Foundation. Voci is represented by Bernstein Artists http://www.bernsarts.com/)
PAMELA Z
Pamela Z has toured extensively throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. She has performed in numerous festivals including: Bang on a Can at Lincoln Center in New York; the Interlink Festival in Japan; Other Minds in San Francisco; and Pina Bausch Tanztheater's 25 Jahre Fest in Wuppertal, Germany. She has composed, recorded and performed original scores for choreographers and for film/video artists, and has done vocal work for other composers (including Charles Amirkhanian, Vijay Iyer, and Henry Brant). Her large-scale, multi-media performance works, Parts of Speech, Gaijin and Voci, have been presented at Theater Artaud and ODC Theater in San Francisco, and at the Kitchen in New York. Her new one-act opera Wunderkabinet (co-composed with Matthew Brubeck) premiered in 2005 at The LAB Gallery in San Francisco. She has had audio works included in exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Erzbischfliches Dizesanmuseum in Cologne, the Tang Museum in Saratoga Springs NY, and the Dakar Biennale in Sngal. Her work has also been presented at the San Jose Museum of Art, El Museo del Barrio in New York, and La Biennale di Venezia in Italy.
Ms. Z has been commissioned to compose works for new music chamber ensembles: the Bang On A Can Allstars; Ethel, the California E.A.R. Unit; the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble; and the St. Luke's Chamber Orchestra. Since 1986, she has been producing "Z Programs", an ongoing series of interdisciplinary events in which her own work has been featured along with that of other experimental artists in various genres. She has collaborated with a wide range of composer/performers, media artists, and choreographers including Miya Masaoka, Joan Jeanrenaud, Jeanne Finley + John Muse, Shinichi Momo Koga, Leigh Evans, and Jo Kreiter. She has participated in several Zakros New Music Theatre events (including their John Cage festivals), and has performed with The San Francisco Contemporary Music Players. Pamela is the recipient of numerous awards, including: the Guggenheim Fellowship, the CalArts Alpert Award in the Arts; the Creative Capital Fund; the ASCAP Music Award; and the NEA and Japan/US Friendship Commission Fellowship.

Jenny Lin performs in Silvestrov's "Drama" at The Stone
I am delighted to be joined by Cornelius Dufallo and Dorothy Lawson, members of the acclaimed string quartet, Ethel, in a rare performance of:
Valentin Silvestrov: "Drama" for piano, violin and cello (1971/rev.2002)
w/Jenny Lin, Cornelius Dufallo and Dorothy Lawson
Sunday, February 26, 2006, 10pm
The Stone www.thestonenyc.com
Program:
"With this piece I attempted to get out of the avant-garde's ghetto, as others were doing at the same time", writes Silvestrov about his gigantic Drama for piano trio from 1971. Lasting nearly 40 minutes, Drama is a breakthrough work, dense with instructions and indications, requiring something akin to choreography with the players leaving one at a time at the end of the piece.

Barry Schrader 60th birthday retrospective concert at REDCAT

BINARY KATWALK
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.)

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.

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

Video by Jeanne Finley and John Muse
Lighting and Set Design Elaine Buckholtz
Pamela Z is a San Francisco-based composer/performer and audio artist who works primarily with voice, live electronic processing and sampling technology. Processing her live voice through "MAX MSP" software on a PowerBook, she creates solo works that combine operatic bel canto and experimental extended vocal techniques with found percussion objects, spoken word, and sampled concrte sounds. These sounds are often triggered via custom MIDI controllers such as Ed Severinghaus' BodySynth or Donald Swearingen's Light SensePod, both of which allow her to manipulate sound with physical gestures. Her performances range in scale from small concerts in galleries to large-scale multi-media works in flexible black-box venues and proscenium halls.
Elaine Buckholtz is a visual artist and musician. She has done lighting and visual designs for numerous Bay Area performance artists over the past 15 years. She is the annual lighting designer for the Telluride Film Festival; and Lighting Director for Meredith Monk's solo concert tours. Elaine has released two solo cd's, Horse in the Window and Dark Rodeo, on Out of Round Records. Elaine is currently at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA.
Jeanne C. Finley and John Muse have worked collaboratively on numerous experimental documentaries and multi-channel video installations since 1988. These works have been exhibited nationally and internationally, at festivals and galleries, including the San Francisco International Film Festival, Berlin Video Festival, Toronto, and World Wide Video Festival. Their numerous awards include a 2000 Creative Capital Foundation grant. Finley, a Guggenheim Fellow, and Alpert/Cal Arts Award winner, is a Professor of Media Studies at the California College of Arts and Crafts. Muse is an artist and writer who currently resides in Vallejo, California and is pursuing a PH.D. in Rhetoric at the University of California, Berkeley.

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.

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.

March 30 April 1, 2006
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.
