San Francisco, CA:
San Francisco Electronic Music Festival 2006
Thursday, August 10, 2006 through Sunday, August 13, 2006
The 2006 San Francisco Electronic Music Festival consists of four evenings of electrifying performances by internationally recognized artists and musicians in the electronic music field. This year‚Äôs impressive line–up features both respected pioneers and emerging artists whose work spans the sonic spectra –– from ambient to rhythmic, from atonal to melodic. As the only San Francisco music festival dedicated solely to electronic music, the SFEMF brings together the varied practices of artists working with laptop generated sound, processed live acoustic instruments, amplified found objects, projected video, improvisation, and performance art.
For this year's festival, SFEMF has invited a wide–ranging field of artists from across the globe, including the United Kingdom's audiovisual duo Semi–Conductor (in a late–night performance on Saturday at Recombinant Media Labs); Norwegian duo Alog (in their first North American performance); Mexico City–based sound artist Manuel Rocha; Los Angeles–based James Tenney whose piece will feature a performance by percussionist Willie Winant; Montreal–based automaton builder Maxime De La Rochefoucauld; New York–based voice and computer musician Dafna Naphtali; and Los Angeles–based lowercase music pioneer Steve Roden, who will present a piece based on Nam June Paik's "primitive music" sculpture. SFEMF 2006's local artists include composer/intermedia artist Elise Baldwin, long tube performer Brenda Hutchinson, multimedia artist Barbara Golden, experimental drum machinist Matt Davignon, sonic explorer Joe Colley and electro–acoustic trio shudder.

San Francisco Electronic Music Festival 2006 Artists:
Raised on a farm in Idaho, Elise Baldwin now resides in San Francisco, where she recently completed her MFA in Electronic Music at Mills College. When not indulging her interest in pyrokenesis or reading compulsively in the bath, E can be found cooking up aurally hazardous byproducts in her studio or building software instruments for video manipulation. She focuses on solo and collaborative intermedia performance, appearing recently at ARTSfest 2004, E.S.P. Media Lounge, CalArts CEAIT Festival 2003 and the National Queer Arts Festival. She is a 2006 Harvestworks Artist in Residence and recipient of the 2004 Frogs Peak Award for Experimental Music.
Born in 1963 in Mexico City, Manuel Rocha Iturbide studied composition at the Escuela Nacional de Musica at UNAM. He finished an MFA in electronic music and composition at Mills College. In Paris, he finished a PHD in computer music at the University of Paris VIII in 1999. He has received prizes and honorable mentions from different international contests like Bourges, Russolo and the Schaeffer Prize. His music has been performed all around the world. He is also a sound artist and his work has been shown at important galleries and museums as ”Artist Space NY 1997”, "Sydney Biennale 1998”, "ARCO 1999”. He currently lives in Mexico City working as a composer and sound artist.
Brenda Hutchinson performs on a "Long Tube Instrument” (literally, a long tube) combined with a gestural interface and a computer. Brenda is a composer and sound artist whose work has been presented at international festivals in New Zealand, Europe, Latin America and Canada. Venues in the United States include performances at Lincoln Center, Merkin Concert Hall and The Kitchen in New York, and "Soundprint" on NPR. Since 2002, Brenda has been on the faculty at the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College. She has been an artist in residence at San Quentin Prison, Headlands Center for the Arts, Harvestworks, the Exploratorium and the Djerassi Foundation.
Barbara Golden, an older gal (but still extremely cute) is a multimedia artist living in the Bay Area and Sutton Quebec. Born in Montreal, the escaped housewife/schoolteacher studied at Mills with Terry Riley, Bob Ashley and Maggi Payne. For the last two decades she's been occupied with politically incorrect raunch (WIGband), Balinese music (Gamelan Sekar Jaya), and radio production/hosting (KPFA). DVDs and videos with Helen Prince, Johanna Poethig and Bill Thibault have been shown in US, Canada, and Europe. Her cookbook/cd/poetry published by Burning Books is in its second edition.
Steve Roden is a Los Angeles based artist whose work includes painting, drawing, sculpture, film/video, and sound. in the sound works, source materials such as objects, architectural spaces, and field recordings are abstracted and activated through humble electronics. The performances are generally quiet and reflective, directing the activity of listening towards the creation of a kind of audio architectural space, or "possible landscape". Since 1994 Roden has performed in arts spaces and in festivals worldwide. In September he will create a sound work for James Turrell's skyspace at the Henry museum in Seattle.
James Tenney was born in 1934 in Silver City, New Mexico, and grew up in Arizona and Colorado, where he received his early training as a pianist and composer. He attended the University of Denver, the Juilliard School of Music, Bennington College (B.A. 1958) and the University of Illinois (M.A. 1961). A performer as well as a composer and theorist, he was co–founder and conductor of the Tone Roads Chamber Ensemble in New York City (1963–70). He has long been active in the field of electronic and computer music, working with Max Mathews and others at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in the early 1960s to develop programs for computer sound–generation and composition. He is currently Professor of Music at York University in Toronto, where he was named Distinguished Research Professor.
Matt Davignon is an experimental musician living in Oakland, California. Since 1993, the self–taught musician has sought to make instrumental music as personal and unique as possible – focusing largely on textures, arrhythmic patterns and musical imperfections. For the past few years he has been working primarily with a drum machine. Instead of using it as a rhythm device, he plays the pads manually while processing the sounds through an array of effects devices and samplers, improvising music made of biotic tapestries, hums, gurgles and crackles.
Joe Colley (b.1972 Ft. Lauderdale) is a self taught artist concerned primarily with the phenomena of sound and its unique ability to activate a consciousness set apart from rational understanding in a way very different from visual or verbal means. This consuming interest has led to extensive experimentation with results occasionally made public through performances, installations, and commercially available recordings. Growing up in California's central valley, Colley has traveled widely making field recordings and researching various cultures with a focus on ritual music and the art of the insane. His performances have been seen as part of numerous international festivals. His recording "Psychic Stress Soundtracks” (Antifrost CD) received an award of distinction at Ars Electronica 2006.
Alog is the brainchild of Espen Sommer Eide and Dag–Are Haugan. One dark and snow–stormy day in the winter of 1997, the band was born in a basement of a Kindergarten in Tromsoe – a city located in the far north of Norway. This day a string of happy coincidences led them to meet up for a session of tablas and guitar, of which they had no idea would evolve into a creative burst of ideas, involving all kinds of found instruments and collected sounds. The set of 4–track recordings of these winter constellations eventually made it onto Alog's debut release on Rune Grammofon, entitled Red ShiftSwing. In 2001 they followed up with the critically acclaimed Duck–Rabbit CD. The record showcases Alog‚Äôs unique combination of genres, often described as "listener friendly" electronica meets avant–garde jazz and contemporary composition.
Semiconductor are UK artists Ruth Jarman and Joseph Gerhardt. They make films out of sound using abstract landscapes and architecture as a means to describe aural and visual interpretations of the world. Finely crafted digital work is combined with analogue processes that tailor the randomness and errors within computer systems as co–conductor. Their music can be described as a contradiction where 'musique concrete' becomes simultaneously hypnotic and violent, minimal and maximal. Live digital performance is one strand of Semiconductor‚Äôs output; they also produce surround sound installations and single screen sound films which are exhibited at galleries, festivals and biennials worldwide.
Formed in 2004 for the purpose of playing for a Matt Gonzales for Mayor fundraising event,shudder works with compositions and improvisation to explore and develop a language for acoustic instruments that can exist easily in the realm of electronic music. shudder features Kyle Bruckmann and Phillip Greenlief on wind instruments; Lance Grabmiller performs on laptop/Audiomulch. Electro–acoustic innovation, deep listening–informed group communication and an ear for dynamics and austere details, shudder provides one of more rewarding listening experiences available to San Francisco Bay Area audiences.
Maxime De La Rochefoucauld is a Montreal–based musician who builds orchestras out of automatons. Usually, these are collections of up to 20 percussion and string instruments, placed nearspeaker cones modified into striking mechanisms. By sending inaudibile audio signals to the speakers, he can create surprisingly intricate compositions. He has presented this work in Canada, USA, South Africa and Japan.
a Naphtali is a sound–artist/improviser–composer from an eclectic background of music–making. A singer/guitarist/electronic–musician she performs and composes using her custom Max/MSP/Jitter programs for sound processing of voice and other instruments that she has been writing since 1992. Besides her composing and improvised projects, she co–leads the digital chamber punk ensemble, What is it Like to be a Bat? with Kitty Brazelton, and has collaborated/performed with Lukas Ligeti, David First, Joshua Fried, Ras Moshe, Kathleen Supov√© and Hans Tammen. She teaches and has given workshops at universities in the US (especially New York University) and in Europe.
William Winant "one of the best avant–garde percussionists working today according to music critic Mark Swed (Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal), has performed with some of the most innovative and creative musicians of our time, including John Cage, Iannis Xenakis, Keith Jarrett, Anthony Braxton, James Tenney, Cecil Taylor, George Lewis, Steve Reich and Musicians, Jean–Philippe Collard, Frederic Rzewski, Ursula Oppens, Joan LaBarbara, Oingo Boingo, and the Kronos String Quartet. For eight years Mr. Winant was Artist–in–Residence at Mills College with the critically acclaimed Abel–Steinberg–Winant Trio, and he is principal percussionist with the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players and the John Zorn Chamber Ensemble.
SFEMF events are offered as parallel programming in conjunction with ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge and ISEA2006 Symposium, a gathering of artists and culture–makers from around the world featuring some of the most innovative, astounding art ever seen or experienced. From August 7–13, ZeroOne San Jose will offer a variety of one–of–a–kind, many never–before, only here experiences. See 01sj.org for further details.
THE ORGANIZATION:
The San Francisco Electronic Music Festival is an artist–run organization founded in 1999 by a committee of eight Bay Area electro–acoustic music and sound art practitioners. Its mission is to provide a highly visible public forum for the diverse community of composers and sound artists working with electronic–based technologies in the Bay Area. Designed as an annual multi–day event consisting of concerts, installations and discussions, the primary focus is on independent artists whose innovative aesthetics challenge academic and commercial standards. The Committee's goals are long–term: to establish the festival as an annual presence in the Bay Area; to foster a greatersense of community among the diverse group of Bay Area sound artists; to stimulate the creation of new electronic sound works; to increase public awareness of new sound–based technologies and their creative applications; to raise the level of discourse surrounding music and sound–art; and to raise the national and international profile of the Bay Area as a center for electronic music and sound art.

Hollywood, CA:
"sound." Concert Series Concludes with Rare Performance by Art Ensemble of
Chicago Co-Founders Roscoe Mitchell and Joseph Jarman
Summer series returns to the Ford Amphitheatre for final event of the 2006
season
SASSAS is pleased to present two towering figures in modern jazz, Roscoe
Mitchell and Joseph Jarman, in a rare duo, on Sunday October 8 as a part of
"sound." at the Ford Amphitheatre. As founding members of the legendary jazz
collective the Art Ensemble of Chicago, these veteran multi-instrumentalists
last performed together in Los Angeles as a part of the Ensemble in the
mid-1970's. For this exclusive performance at the Ford Ampitheatre,
they make their first appearance in Los Angeles as a duo, swapping solo sets
and playing together.
The music created by Mitchell and Jarman appeals to fans of jazz, modern
classical composition, modern American music, spiritual music, American
primitive music, and Afro-centric music. In the book "Great Black Music:
Ancient to the Future," author Lincoln T. Beauchamp, Jr. describes how the
Art Ensemble of Chicago encompasses all forms of Black artistic expression
and communication, from ancient rites and rituals to sanctified pulpits;
from the language of drums to rap; from la Conga to the Jitter-Bug.
Listeners can expect a live experience with the musicians utilizing many
different instruments: Mitchell's main instrument is the saxophone, and
also plays clarinet, flute, piccolo, oboe, baritone and bass saxophones.
Jarman is also a saxophonist and a multi-instrumentalist who plays
woodwinds and many percussion instruments, including vibes, marimba,
balophone, and an array of bells, gongs and little instruments. He also
incorporates voice with these instruments.
Mitchell and Jarman's musical lineage stretches back to the beginnings of
free jazz via the Art Ensemble of Chicago (along with Lester Bowie and
Malachi Favors), and before that as founders of the highly influential AACM
(the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) in 1965. The
AACM can count internationally known jazz musicians Anthony Braxton, Henry
Threadgill, Wadada Leo Smith, and Muhal Richard Abrams as former members,
among others.
"The Art Ensemble was unquestionably a groundbreaking band. In the late
'60s and early '70s, the Art Ensemble helped pioneer the fusion of jazz
with European art music and indigenous African musics." - All Music Guide
Both Mitchell and Jarman have remained vital forces in music through their
solo performance, composition, and improvisation, placing them at the
vanguard of not only jazz, but of modern music.
In 2004, Mitchell released "Solo 3," an ambitious 3 CD set of solo saxophone and
percussion works. About Mitchell's work Mathew Sumera of
the Jazz and improvised music webzine One Final Note wrote, “Mitchell's
sound world is one of heterogeneous homogeneity. It is not that he lacks
the ability to strive toward a unified statement; again, he simply chooses
not to. Unity can just as easily be achieved without compromise, without
modifying the personality of a single statement—simply place one against
the other. It is not some sort of smashed, forced, postmodern sensibility.
It is a commitment to the fact that sounds exist together. We hear
simultaneity."
Joseph Jarman's work takes in a wide variety of influences, including jazz,
western music (especially Webern and John Cage), Asian music and theater
and African music. Because of his collaborative work with poets, dancers
and other artists, he is sometimes called the first "multi-media" jazz
musician. In 1990, Jarman was ordained a Jodo Shinshu Buddhist priest. His
devotion to Asian philosophy and meditation has brought much to his
musicianship, especially the values of breath and silence. Jarman
summarizes the many strands of his experience as an interest in "the sound
of the universe." He last performed in Los Angeles in 2003 as a part of
sound. at the Schindler House in an evening of solo works and in a trio
with legendary bassist Henry Grimes and percussionist Alex Cline.
Mitchell and Jarman's particular brand of jazz music - based on free
expression and ethno-polyrhythms and interplay - remains influential. These
enduring musicians continue to shape modern music for listeners interested
in challenging current musical conventions.

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

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.)

The Memory Theater, an iPod opera
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."

Festivals, Contests, Conferences, Programs, Airtime Submissions Requested!
The Kronos Quartet-in collaboration with Carnegie Hall, Pop Montréal, the
Sally and Don Lucas Artists Programs at the Montalvo Arts Center, and the
American Music Center-is pleased to announce the launch of the fourth
Kronos: Under 30 Project, a program through which musicians under 30 years
of age are selected to create new music for the Kronos Quartet. The members
of Kronos will personally review the applications and select 1 musician to
whom the group feels artistically committed. Together, Carnegie Hall, Pop
Montréal, and Kronos will then jointly commission the selected composer to
write a new piece of music for Kronos. The Lucas Artists Programs at the
Montalvo Arts Center will host the composer during a multi-week residency in
the Saratoga Hills in Northern California, providing the composer a
supportive environment for creative work. The commissioned composer will
join Kronos in San Francisco, CA, to prepare the new piece, and will travel
to Carnegie Hall and to Pop Montréal for Kronos' performances of the work.
Please note: If you have applied to the Kronos: Under 30 Project in the
past, please read the following guidelines carefully, as they have changed.
We do not hold over applications from previous years, but we encourage you
to re-apply with your latest work. Applicant must be under 30 years of age
as of October 16, 2006, and can be of any nationality. Applicant must be
able to agree, if selected, to create a new work and provide written music
to Kronos no later than November 16, 2007. The selected composer will
receive a commission for a new work in the amount of $5000. (Commission fee
includes the creation of score, parts, any other necessary performance
materials.) The length of the new piece will be determined in discussion
with Kronos, but will be in the range of 10-20 minutes. The composer will
also receive travel and accommodations for an initial meeting with Kronos,
location and date to be determined; travel and accommodations for a
multi-week residency at the Lucas Artists Programs at the Montalvo Arts
Center; travel and accommodations for a residency with Kronos in San
Francisco to rehearse the new piece; travel and accommodations for the world
premiere of the new piece in concert in Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall on
February 22, 2008; travel and accommodations for the Canadian premiere of
the new piece in concert at Pop Montreal in October, 2008. Submit the
following materials together in one package: (1) a completed, signed
application form, available for download from the website below (please type
or print legibly, as it is important that we be able to contact you with any
questions); (2) 5 copies of a CD containing at least 2 pieces of music that
are indicative of the breadth of your recent work, regardless of
instrumentation (include at least 1 complete work; additional material can
be excerpts; we encourage you to present your most recent work first; no
preference will be given to composers who submit recordings of string
quartets; we suggest you keep the CD under 30 minutes; label the CDs clearly
with your name, the names and timings of the pieces, and the instruments and
names of the performers; MIDI or computer realizations are acceptable; CDs
are strongly preferred, but cassettes are acceptable in exceptional
circumstances; and (3) a note about your music; please include a brief note
that you have written about your own music-it should not be a review or
commentary by someone else (for example, you might write about a specific
piece, like a concert program note, or you could choose to write a more
general note about what you hope to achieve artistically through your music;
(4) 2 copies of your bio or resume, about your musical background; (5)
Optional: other work samples, such as written scores or videos (DVD
preferred), if they provide extra insight into your work. All materials must
be clearly labeled with your name and title of the work. Please do not send
any original materials, as they will not be returned. Incomplete, illegible,
and/or late submissions will not be considered. The selected composer will
be announced on the Kronos Quartet website, http://www.kronosquartet.org, no
later than March 15, 2007. Send your application package to:
The Sonict Ensemble of the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater invites
composers to submit scores for consideration for performance. The ensemble

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, Hörspiel, 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.
In each category the jury will deliberate on two types of work:

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

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:

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.

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.

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,
Dreamweaver, Flash and Director, a flatbed scanner, zip drive and
color printer. We would also like to offer access to our
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
Council on the Arts again sends our sincere condolences and warmest
thoughts.

William C. Harrington was born January 10th, 1952 in Yonkers, New York. His
grandmother played piano at silent movie theaters: by the time he was a sophomore in
high school, he was working as a professional musician playing parties,
roller-skating rinks, and more. While at Cal State Dominguez Hills (now UC Dominguez
Hills) he studied composition, performance, and electronic music with Richard
Bunger, who authored the classic book on John cage, “The Well Prepared Piano.” He
was also influenced by seminars with several composers including Nicholas Slominsky.
After leaving college he worked in the wholesale record industry for two years
before going on tour. First with Natalie Cole doing lighting, then with Gentle
Giant, Frank Zappa (making a brief, credited appearance in Zappa’s movie, “Baby
Snakes”). He was with Zappa in Paris when Pierre Boulez visited. Upon returning to
LA he attended the UCLA Extention Music Business course where he was awarded two
NARAS scholarships. He studied record production with Nick Venet - producer of The Beach Boys,
Creedence Clearwater and many others. In the 80’s he became the Supervisor of
Operations, Videotape Operations, Paramount Pictures Corp. In that capacity, he
received four ATAS Emmy certificates for contributions for “Cheers,” one for “The
Arsenio Hall Show,” plus one for best sitcom, again, “Cheers.” In 1990 he became a
freelance videotape engineer - doing videoasst, 24 frame playback - and acting as a
technical director. Credits have included “Little Black Book” and “Alpha Dog” as
well as several sitcoms, most recently, "Cuts" and "One on One". Urban Electronic
Music was constructed using loops recorded over a 30-year period, analog and
digital synthesis, as well as traditional instruments and found objects.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: What is that thing?
A: Its called a sitar. Pretty cute, huh?
Q: Is it hard to play?
A: Well, it's got 17 strings with two bridges stacked on top of each other. You
have to reach under the top set of strings to play the bottom set. If you want to
change keys, you have to move all the frets as well as retune all the strings, and
if it's even a little bit out of tune, it sounds like a moose in heat. Also,
there's no western notation at all for the sitar. After some trial and error, I
figured out how to transcribe the Sanskrit notes to the western scale. Other than
that...it's pretty much a snap.
Q: Why do you play such a thing?
A: The same reason salmon swim upstream, leap up a waterfall to mate, and then die
at the end of the party. God has a bizarre sense of humor, and I am one of his
cosmic jokes.
Q: Do you sound like Ravi Shankar?
A: Ummm....Ravi Shankar is probably the finest musician in the WORLD. He's played
classical Indian ragas to sold-out audiences worldwide for close to a century. I
taught myself sitar five years ago in my living room, and play to rock and roll
audiences in Hollywood. Other than that, we sound pretty much exactly the same!
Q: Have you ever met Ravi Shankar?
A: Er...no. For some reason, we never get invited to the same parties.
Q: Did you ever meet George Harrison?
A: See my blog: MY LUNCH WITH GEORGE. I do frequent the place the Beatles stayed
when they were in India. It's an abandoned ashram in an overgrown jungle, right on
the banks of the Ganges. Beautiful beyond belief. I climb up on the roof of the
house the Beatles built and play sitar while the mist floats over the river and the
monkeys swing in from the jungle. It's heaven. The last time I was there, though,
it had been raining for a couple of months, and the vegetation was really high. A
girl told me not to go in, because a jaguar had killed a local goat and was hiding
out in there. Of course, I desperately wanted to see a jaguar, but a rare wave of
common sense came over me, and I went down to the river instead.
Q: Will you play at my club/music festival/fundraiser?
A: I am so there! Especially if your club or festival is in some exotic place with
semi-dangerous animals and vines to swing from.

Creativity Courses Spring/Summer 06
Founded in 1993, the Creativity Workshop is dedicated to teaching people about their creativity and how to use it in all aspects of life, work, and creative expression. The Creativity Workshop helps people believe in and develop their imagination through using a unique series of exercises in memoir, creative writing, visual arts, sense perception, brainstorming, and storytelling. In a non-competitive, nurturing atmosphere, our workshops help participants develop creative skills, expanded sense perception, innovative problem solving, inspired brainstorming, and new ways of looking at life as exciting and transformative. The price of the New York workshop is $650, tuition only. Our European workshop prices start at $1,650, including tuition and 9 nights accommodations. The only requirements for the Creativity Workshop are curiosity about the creative process and a sense of playfulness.
