San Francisco:
Sten Rudstrom
Friday 29 September 2006
Antonin Artaud, French theater critic, social theorist and dreamer, wrote
some of the most influential texts on Western theater in the last century,
the most famous of which was The Theater and its Double. He rebelled against
the popular bourgeois theater with its emphasis on literature and psychology.
Artaud proposed instead a more physical theater of "fire and real meat where,
anatomically, by stamping of bones, limbs and syllables, bodies are remade."
In 1947, he was commissioned by the French National Radio to produce a radio
play. Artaud hired actors and recorded his work, To Have Done with the
Judgment of God, but the director of the station refused to air the production,
considering it inflammatory, obscene and blasphemous. Two months later, Artaud
was found dead, seated at the foot of his bed, holding his shoe.

MUSIC FOR THE EQUINOX
The Callithumpian Consort
The Callithumpian Consort returns to the front lines of avant-garde sound
with its EXPERIMENT SERIES at the new Inman Square performance space "The
Lily Pad" (formerly the site of the Zeitgeist Gallery, 1353 Cambridge St. in
Cambridge). Once a month, on a Friday, new, uncharted worlds at the
frontiers of free improvisation and the avant-garde will be trespassed and
ruined for future generations.
The series was founded in March 2004 to present concerts that explore the
crossroads between composition and improvisation in an informal atmosphere
conducive to the enjoyment of both aficionados of creative music and the
first-time listener. Each concert is produced by New England Conservatory's
Callithumpian Consort, an eclectic contemporary music ensemble led by
pianist/NEC professor Stephen Drury, with support from the Massachusetts
Cultural and Cambridge Arts Councils. The series is co-curated by

SONGS OF ANDY FRIEDMAN
ANDY FRIEDMAN, NEW YORKER CARTOONIST-TURNED-KING OF ART COUNTRY RELEASES
FIRST STUDIO ALBUM, TAKEN MAN WITH HELP FROM FRIENDS KETCH SECOR, PAUL
CURRERI, MELISSA FERRICK, JEFFREY FOUCAULT, KRIS DELMHORST AND OTHERS
CITY SALVAGE RECORDS - STREET DATE: OCTOBER 17, 2006
Jon Friedman, the creator/producer of The Rejection Show and younger brother
of Andy Friedman hosts a unique, fun CD release event/party/tribute night to
celebrate the release of Andys first studio album, Taken Man!
10 DIFFERENT BANDS EACH PLAYING A DIFFERENT SONG FROM THE NEW ALBUM!!
WELCOME WAGON
SONGS OF ANDY FRIEDMAN
www.tremendousrabbit.com
The Brooklyn-based visual artist, songwriter, and iconoclast performer Andy
Friedman has made a name for himself over the last five years as a
genre-bending 'erudite redneck (BOSTON GLOBE), 'winning over audiences
(NEW YORKER) with projections of his visual works to accompany his original
story-songs and talking blues onstage. This fall, however, Friedman hits the
road in support of his first studio album, Taken Man (City Salvage Records),
by leaving the visuals at home. Backed by his stellar four-piece ensemble
The Other Failures‹featuring Greg McMullen (Chris Whitley, Greg Dulli) on
pedal steel‹the artist and his energetic band will place Taken Mans
ambitious new songs about art, wanderlust, and love at center-stage.
Produced by longtime crony, songwriter/guitarist, and label-mate Paul
Curreri, the songs on Taken Man are well-crafted, insightful, and starkly
unique. This makes sense coming from an artist who is also a regularly
published New Yorker cartoonist. The sound is something in between classic
country and art-school indie. Friedman calls it 'Art-Country, but one
might also describe the music as Indie-Roadhouse. Paul Demko of the
Minneapolis City Pages refers to Friedman as 'The King of Art Country. The
songs are brave‹exploring issues and aspects of art, marriage, infidelity
and wanderlust to great effect. In addition to Curreri, the CDs special
guests include Old Crow Medicine Shows Ketch Secor, Melissa Ferrick,
Jeffrey Foucault, Devon Sproule, Natalia Zukerman, and Kris Delmhorst.
When Andy Friedman first took to the stage and to the road in 2002 he was,
ostensibly, a visual artist and performance-poet with a spoken-word
slideshow. Projecting his paintings, drawings, and photographs to accompany
a seemingly extemporaneous series of grumbled rants and poems written by the
artist‹Friedman set out to explore the ways that a painter could connect
with an audience in the seedy, low-lit, social environs of the rock clubs
and roadside taverns. He called his pictures 'songs that you look at, and
considered his spoken poems to be the lyrics to his visual music.
Alternative newsweeklies across the USA unanimously praised Friedman for his
spirit and wit, calling him the 'next big thing (EUGENE WEEKLY) with 'the
coolest live show to come around in a long time (GOOD TIMES) and describing
the artist as 'the Johnny Cash of painting. . .an iconoclast who is quietly
(but radically) changing what it means to be a visual artist in this day and
age (CONNECT SAVANNAH).
Although he never played an instrument or sang a note in his life, in
interviews Friedman aligned himself to pre-war country blues musicians like
Jesse Fuller and West Village folkies like Dave Van Ronk rather than to the
visual artists working the contemporary art scene. He endlessly referred to
his visual works as songs, while preferring to classify his two art
chapbooks as 'albums rather than books. During the winter of 2004 his
musical interests came to a head, and Friedman began to explore the ways he
could incorporate music (that you listen to) into his live shows.
Using Hank Williams 'Luke The Drifter records as a model, Friedman
incorporated folkie-country instrumental compositions beneath his spoken
verse and alongside his projections. Initially finding his musicians on
street-corners and pubs from city to city each day while on tour, Friedman
eventually formed his own traveling band, The Other Failures, which he named
for his first book of pencil drawings and poetry, Drawings & Other Failures.
His first CD, Live at the Bowery Poetry Club, was recorded live in July 2005
and interprets the spoken poems and monologues from his first years on the
road as country-tinged compositions performed live with his band. Released
in the winter of 2006, the artist half-jokingly refers to his first CD as a
'book of pictures you can listen to in the albums liner notes.
On Taken Man, set for an October 17 release on City Salvage Records, the
artist delivers edgy, insightful, and at times agitated lyrics with a voice
that seems like its been singing forever. In fact, it has, but only
recently has Friedman worked to let it surface. With a hollow-body Gretsch
strapped around his shoulder, a gutteral growl that fronts one of the
tightest, most energetic bands on the growing Brooklyn Country scene, and a
collection of songs that reflect the artists 'deeply American identity
(CVILLE WEEKLY), the ever-challenging Andy Friedman has reinvented himself
again, this time in the image of the musician and songwriter that brought
him to the road in the first place.

Pamela Z Events in CA, Chicago, NYC, Russsia
Dear Livingroom Folks,
Just wanted to share with you some exciting upcoming events spanning
from California to Chicago to New York to Russia! Lot's of major
touring performance events in the land of Z this Fall!
In less than a week, I leave for Russia (my first time there!) to
give performances of my solo works in the Long Arms Festival in St.
Petersburg (Sept 27) and the Aposizia Festival in Moscow (Sept 29).
Then, I return to the States to give the Los Angeles premiere of my
one-act opera "Wunderkabinet" at REDCAT (Oct 12-15)! This is the
piece I created last year in collaboration with Composer/Cellist Matt
Brubeck and video artist Christina McPhee. This engagement is very
exciting for two reasons: One: it is my first chance to play at
REDCAT, the gorgeous, adventurous theatre and arts center located in
a beautiful, shiny Frank Gehry edifice in downtown Los Angeles. Two:
LA is the home of the famed Museum of Jurassic Technology, which was
the inspiration for Wunderkabinet, so it will be magical to perform
the piece there. If you will be in the area, scroll down for
specifics on the time, and address.
In November, I'll be performing my performance work "Voci" at the
Museum of Contemporary Art Theatre in Chicago (Nov 5) as part of the
Chicago Humanities Festival. "Voci", my solo work exploring many
facets of voice, involves multiple channels of video projections by
Jeanne Finley + John Muse and a beautiful lighting design by Elaine
Buckholtz. It will be my first opportunity to perform a large-scale,
multi-media performance in Chicago.
And Finally, I'll be performing as a member of Vijay Iyer and Mike
Ladd's company in their modern oratorio "Still Life With Commentator"
(about mass media in time of war) at the Brooklyn Academy of Music
(Dec 6-10) as part of the BAM Next Wave Festival in New York.
Hope to perhaps see you at one of these events!
Cheers,
Pamela

A Secret Service: Art compulsion concealment
Opening Hatton Gallery Newcastle University Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU
Artists: Sophie Calle, Roberto Cuoghi, Gedewon, Henry Darger, Susan
Hiller, Teching Hsieh, Katarzyna Josefowicz, Joachim Koester and Adrian
Dannatt, Paul Etienne Lincoln, Mark Lombardi, Mike Nelson, Kurt
Schwitters, The Speculatice Archive, Jeffrey Vallance, Oskar Voll.
Curated by Richard Grayson
The human fascination with secrets is explored in A Secret Service:
Art, Compulsion, Concealment, a new exhibition organised by Hayward Gallery Touring in collaboration with the Hatton Gallery, Newcastle University.
The exhibition explores the work of 15 international artists and groups
whose practices centre on the creation of secret worlds or the exposure
of hidden facts and images. It includes key figures of Modern art,
established and emerging contemporary artists and 'outsiders'. Together
they address numerous aspects of secrecy: magic, alchemy, sexuality,
dreams, religion, political conspiracy, assumed identity and the covert
workings of the State.
The exhibition has particular reference to Kurt Schwitters, whose final
creation, the Merzbarn is now permanently installed at the Hatton
Gallery. The Merzbarn 1947-48 is among the rare surviving examples of
Schwitters' four Merzbuildings - complex, architectural constructions
created from refuse and found objects. During Schwitters' lifetime the
Merzbuildings were seen only by his most trusted friends, today they
remain confounding riddles. A Secret Service presents rarely seen
documentation of the Merzbuildings in conjunction with a specially
commissioned new work by Turner Prize nominee Mike Nelson.
The exhibition explores the work of 'outsiders' and those operating
beyond the mainstream. It includes a substantial presentation of work
by the reclusive Chicago janitor Henry Darger whose immense body of
watercolour illustrations for the fantasy novel In the Realms of the
Unreal came to light only at the very end of his life.
A Secret Service is curated by artist and curator, Richard Grayson. His
recent exhibitions include Intelligence, 2005 and Messiah, 2004 at
Matt's Gallery, London. He was Artistic Director of the Sydney Biennale
in 2002 and Arts and Humanities Research Fellow at the University of
Newcastle 2003 - 6.
A fully illustrated catalogue featuring essays by Roger Cardinal, Clare
Carolin and Richard Grayson will accompany the exhibition. It is
distributed by Cornerhouse Publications.

Natural Anthems: five experimental groups sing and play anthems
(in order of appearance):
at Dangerous Curve
Saturday, September 30, 2006
1020 East Fourth Place
Los Angeles, CA, September 16, 2006 - Take these five soloists/groups and have them
play music and sing anthems for actual and/or imagined places. That's the idea
Jerry Drake (of the legendary experimental music series line space line) had for
this eclectic lineup of musicians: Missincinatti (Jessica Catron and Jeremy Drake)
Anni Rossi (voice and viola), Berlin's Alessandro Bosetti (voice and laptop), Non
Credo (Joe Berardi and Kira Vollman), and Esperanza (voice, accompanied by Jesse
Berent and Sammy K). As conceptual glue, during intermissions, we will play
national anthems from around the world in full MIDI glory. All this happens amongst
the sculptures in Sky Burchard's exhibit "No Point Takes Up Space," from a wonderful
world of video games.
The concert starts at 8:00 p.m. and costs $10.00. We're located at 1020 East Fourth
Place, between Molino and Mateo Streets, in the back of the 500 Molino Street Lofts,
#102, between the Fourth Street Bridge's (the bridge on the LA River side of
downtown) two on/off ramps. See our website
Missincinatti
Missincinatti (Jessica Catron + Jeremy Drake) makes sounds you'd hear at that place
down the street from your house, past which you walk sometimes---that place behind a
chain link fence, that's covered bits of trash and overgrown fennel and clumps of
dirt, and where a family of mice lives.
Jessica Catron www.myspace.com/jessicacatron is a freelance cellist based in Los
Angeles, California. Over the last seven years, she been devoted almost entirely to
new music, composition, experimental sound, and improvisation. She's performed
around the world, most recently at the Seattle Improvised Music Festival,
Vancouver's Sonic Boom Festival, the CEAIT Festival at REDCAT, the .sound. series at
the Schindler House, the Indiana Lotus Festival, Boston's NEMO Festival, California
WorldFest, the Getty's Friday Night Series and Summer Sessions, la Festival de
Musica Contemporanea in Bogota, Colombia, and the Lincoln Center's Out-of-Doors
Festival. She has also done many recordings and soundtracks, including original
music for Paramount Classics' "Mean Creek," and Sony Pictures' "Levity" and "The
Covenant." Currently, she's working with Carla Bozulich on "The Night Porter."
She's also in The Microscore Project, an ongoing chamber-duo with violinist Johnny
Chang, the pop! band Dreaming Ferns, the vocal quintet VOCO, and Missincinatti with guitarist
Jeremy Drake.
Jeremy Drake www.jeremydrake.com is an improvising guitar player, concert
organizer and educator living in Los Angeles. He used to organize the much-missed
weekly improvised music concert series, line space line, with musicians Chris Heenan
and David Rothbaum. In 2004, he was nominated as a best new-genre/uncategorizable
artist in the LA Weekly Music Awards. He currently curates for SASSAS and is all
over town, including on the Disney Hall stage with Glenn Branca and about 80 other
guitarists, and nearby at routesandmethods.com's James Tenney extravaganza. His
releases can be found on the Experimental Musical Research and Reify Recordings
labels.
Anni Rossi
Anni Rossi (voice and viola) studied violin and piano as a toddler, thanks to her
grandmother. After 15 years of classical violin training, she happened upon a
viola, causing her departure from the traditional symphony towards her untamed song
project. She attended Cal Arts for one year, studying with the likes of Mark
Menzies, Vinny Golia, and Susan Allen. She has toured her compositions since early
2005, over the United States, Canada, Japan and, most recently, Europe. She released
her debut album, "Scandia" in the Summer of 2004. Her next album, "Afton," is due in
early 2007.
"Viola player gone mad from beautiful melodies to abrupt squeals, Anni Rossi has
been astonishing audiences all over the U.S. and now Europe. At the age of 21, she
has toured with acts such as The Gowns, Gang Wizard, and most recently The Dead
Science and Carla Bozulich...She is a solo performer who coaxes her own odd sounds
both from her instrument and her voice. Whimsically strange and poppy, Anni Rossi
performs her craft of improvisational ballads." --Art Prostitute Magazine
Alessandro Bosetti
Alessandro Bosetti (voice and laptop) does things "roughly reminiscent of songs,
kind of almost spoken, abstract songs." He says, "Maybe it's just their duration
that make them song-like, maybe they are just 'pieces.' Maybe they are not songs at
all." He is "an untrained, passionate singer" who makes music out of conversations.
He usually uses his voice and a laptop, projecting the sound produced around the
audience. He wears headphones, through which he receives signals to which he
reacts. "Often I misunderstand them [the audience]," he says, "Often I can't really
control what I sing, because the headphones separate me from the environment."
He sees as his themes voice, language, misunderstandings, sound-anthropology,
aesthetics, tone languages, conversations, headphones, geography, relational
unspoken languages, feedback (in behavior and physics), no-control, handicap, and
imitation or mimetic behaviour.
"Italian-born Alessandro Bosetti is the modern-day musical eclectic-eccentric.
Through field research and interviews, Bosetti crafts abstract compositions rich in
context and harmony." --Flavorpill/Chicago
"... idiosyncratic and radical in its dislocation of the physical instrument from
familiar musical contexts." --Julian Cowley, The Wire
"...he really knows to capture my attention. Great stuff." --Vital Weekly
Non Credo
Non Credo www.myspace.com/noncredo is the duo consisting of Kira Vollman
and Joseph Berardi. She's a singer, he's a drummer, but their musical palette
extends well beyond the scope of their primary instruments. Their unique sound
falls solidly into the RIO (Rock In Opposition) camp. Utilizing Kira's remarkable
vocal range and a musical landscape of bass clarinet, percussion, and unusual
samples, they lead the listener on a journey with many detours and dark alleys along
the way. Be prepared to get seasick, beaten up, thrown in jail, fall in love,
contract an STD, have your heart broken, your wallet stolen, get shanghaied, hog
tied and crucified.
Kira Vollman is a breathtaking vocalist with the voice of a fallen angel. "My
patience threshold is pretty low", she reveals. Perhaps this explains her tendency
to jump from style to style and sound to sound. Never without an absurdist's dark
sense of humor, she is an ace at role-playing. Vollman also plays bass guitar,
clarinets, keyboards, and other assorted devices, and supplies the lyrics for Non
Credo's evocative textures. Aside from Non Credo, Vollman has been involved in
several musical projects and bands in her home town of Los Angeles. She was a member
of the improvising chamber ensemble Fat and Fucked Up, she toured and recorded with
Kid Congo Powers band, Congo Norvell, performed frequently with musical scavengers
Stay Home, recorded with slop-rockers Thelonious Monster, and sang with
microtonalist Kraig Grady. She is active in the LA improv scene, having worked the
likes of violinist Jeff Gauthier. She is also in a vocal duet with Kaoru, called
Punishment Cookies.
Joe Berardi began life as a member of the ground-breaking avant-pop band The
Fibonaccis. Since then, he has been involved in a wide assortment of projects and
bands. As a drummer, his unique style and use of miscellaneous percussive objects
and found sounds within the traditional drum kit have made him a fixture on the Los
Angeles music scene. He is a member of surf-spy experimentalists Double Naught Spy
Car, the metal/found-objects-percussion group The Obliteration Quartet, the bent
blues band The Mentones, Megan Mullally's Supreme Music Program. He also plays
keyboards with Weill/Eisler worshipers, the Eastside Sinfonietta. Berardi has been
the drummer/percussionist of choice for a diverse group of notorious performers,
including recordings, tours and collaborations with such notables as: Stan Ridgway,
Rufus Wainwright, Ann Magnuson, Lydia Lunch, James White and the Blacks, Congo
Norvell, Donovan, Pixies' Frank Black and Joey Santiago, Algerian vocalist Rimitti
(with Robert Fripp and Flea), Kristian Hoffman, Stew, The Velvet Hammer Burlesque, Motor
Totemist Guild, Nels Cline, and microtonalist Kraig Grady.
Esperanza
Esperanza (voice), who will sing songs with music and lyrics by experimental bassist
Drew Schnurr and herself, has the evolved soul of an artist that can channel
something way larger than herself. That's the best thing we can say about any
artist. She is a long-time favorite who sounds especially good in Dangerous Curve's
boomy space. When she takes the mic away from her mouth and just resonates the room,
she can make grown men cry. (We've seen it!) You'd never know she once broke her
neck in a car accident. Her vocal coach Ron Anderson allowed the woman who sang
worse after studying at the best opera school in the country to find her real voice.
Jesse Berent (guitar) is a recent graduate of USC's Studio/Jazz guitar program. He
plays wide variety of rock, blues, jazz, and folk styles, performing throughout the
Los Angeles area with various jazz and rock bands. He has also performed on
numerous film and television soundtracks and is a featured performer on the Fox
Channel reality show "The Princes of Malibu." He helps run Hollywood's House of
Blues' acclaimed outreach and education program.
Sammy K www.slamminsammyk.com is a Grammy nominated musician
who's played internationally with The United States Air Force Band of Flight, The
Walt Disney Company, Dolphin and Sea Wind Cruise Lines, Show Choir Camps of America,
and Cedar Point. He's led his own band to three consecutive Best Band awards in the
Down Beat Magazine international competition. Currently based in Los Angeles, Sammy
K has performed with the best of the best: Bob Hope, The Coasters, The Stars of the
Lawrence Welk Show, Jon Hendricks, The Platters, Nelson Riddle Orchestra, Steve
Turre, The Mills Brothers, David Pomeranz, Kate Miner, Dave Brubeck, The Ink Spots,
and The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. He has appeared on the Emmy-Award-winning "Wayne
Brady Show," on "Ally McBeal" with KC and the Sunshine Band, and in the film "The
Fast and the Furious." His clients include: The Walt Disney Company, Ferrari, NBC,
The Hal Leonard Publishing Company, Much Music Television, the Six Flags Co!
rporation, Daimler-Chrysler, ABC, the international Toys for Tots campaign, and
CBS. He is in high demand by songwriters in Los Angeles and New York, and he can
be seen on stage or heard in the studio with a wide variety of pop, country,
contemporary Christian and Jazz artists. If you listen closely to your television
or radio, you can hear him driving the world-famous Los Angeles Laker Band.

SKULL DEFEKTS
Henrik Rylander and Joachim Nordwall, two gentlemen from Gothenburg,
premiere new solo works and a duo project made especially for this Lampo
concert -- their U.S. debut and only North American appearance.
Rylander and Nordwall formed the Skull Defekts in early 2005. Their common
interest in the power of sound gave birth to a double-headed beast where
noise met intense and monotonous rock. Since then, their experiments have
reached a form of deep feedbacking and drone magic. Noted recordings
include "Open the Gates of Mimer" with Lasse Marhaug and "Yes I Am Your
Angel," a new split LP (gorgeous milky white vinyl, yes, you must have it)
with Wolf Eyes.
Anticipate warm, disturbing electronic tones, feedback, distortion and
deliriousness. Heavily rhythmic, the music rides a consistent beat
throughout, as new sounds emerge in and around the pulse of the music.
Together they'll create "The Sound of Defekt Skulls and Intense Cranium
Contact (Feedbacking Gothenburg and Chicago)." Nordwall and Rylander will
mix found sounds from Gothenburg with new sonic material collected in
Chicago. Here, they'll treat these sounds live and blend them into a
defekt skull cranium contact session.
Also on the program, Nordwall does a rare solo performance of "I Am The
Fire." And Rylander presents his new work, "Power Model X (Motherboard
Drone with Live Treatment)." In the latter, conceived as installation and
live concert, he uses 11 small mixers and The Henrik Rylander Feedback
Unit -- all connected to a large audio mixer -- where each of the mixers
is modified with an audio cable from input to output.
Henrik Rylander (b. 1966, Malmö, Sweden) is an artist, composer and
photographer. He has performed in several important festivals and venues,

Joachim Nordwall (b. 1975, Karlskrona, Sweden), the Idealist, began
experimenting in sound as a young boy. In 1987, he formed the Alvars
Orkester with Jan Svensson in Johannishus, a small village in the
south-east of Sweden. Alvars, which mixes electronic sound with interests
in psychic broadcasting and EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena), was
particularly active within the independent music scene of the 80s and 90s,
releasing works in Sweden through the Borft Records label. After a brief
hiatus, the group has recently (Jan. 2006) released the "Interference"
album on London's Ash International label, showcasing their superb analog
sound experiments. From 1998-2005, he was part of the avant punk rock trio
Kid Commando, a band that toured Europe several times. Also in 1998, he
founded the iDEAL Organization as a platform for his ongoing work as an
artist, label owner and festival organizer. Nordwall has collaborated with
many artists, including Henrik Rylander, Keith Rowe, Leif Elggren and Mats
Gustafsson. He lives and works in Gothenburg, Sweden.

FLORIAN HECKER
Drop-dead digital disorientation, duh! Vienna-based Hecker presents a new
6-channel computer piece, structured and organized by an artificial neural
network -- an electronic model based on the neural structure of the brain,
or if you prefer, a computing system that can learn on its own. Hecker
breaks it down, explaining the network will be "educated by my practice in
'doing' live electronic music, and once functioning, creates music in 'the
style of me.'"
With software engineer Tommi Keranen, he's developed an artificial neural
network that controls the many software instruments he's been using over
the last seven years. In concert, sound is diffused manually (Hecker) and
by computer (artificial Hecker).
Florian Hecker (b. 1975, Augsburg, Germany) has been working with computer
music independently and in collaboration with other artists such as
Russell Haswell, Peter Rehberg, Oswald Berthold, Marcus Schmickler and
Yasunao Tone since 1996. His works emphasize the connections between
recent developments and historical trends in computer music and related
technology. Often working closely with software engineers and scientists,
his recent productions incorporate psychoacoustic effects that disorient
spatial perception. His full-length solo recording, "Sun Pandamonium,"
received the Award of Distinction at the Prix Ars Electronica 2003.
Hecker has given numerous international solo audio presentations,
including La Biennale di Venezia, 49th International Exhibition of Art,
Venice 2001; Royal Festival Hall, London 2002; Documenta11, Kulturbahnhof,
Kassel 2002; Centre Pompidou, Paris 2002; ICMC 2002, Gothenburg 2002 and
Ars Electronica, Linz 2003. He also works closely with visual artists,
including Angela Bulloch, Carsten Holler, Florian Pumhosl and Cerith Wyn
Evans. Together with Russell Haswell, he is currently working on a CD with
material recorded early 2004 during their research with the UPIC system at
the Centre for Composition of Music Iannis Xenakis (CCMIX) in Paris. He
lives in Vienna.
Florian Hecker performed at Lampo in November 2002. Together he and
Yasunao Tone premiered "Palimpsest," in the duo's first U.S. appearance.
Hecker also presented his solo work "Stocha Acid Vlook."
MARK TRAYLE AND DAVID BEHRMAN
Mark Trayle and David Behrman share this concert at Lampo. Trayle and
Behrman first met at Mills College in 1980; although a generation apart,
they have collaborated on music projects in California and Berlin. Among
his other accomplishments, Trayle was a pioneer in the translation of
early pieces of analog electronic music into the software environments
that first became available at the end of the 20th century. Among these
was Behrman's 1968 piece, "Runthrough." The evening will feature solo work
by both musicians as well as collaborations.
Trayle will present selections from two works. "Domestic Intelligence" is
sonic data mining. Bits and bytes are extracted from the laptop, from the
Internet, and maybe even the audience's credit cards, then looped,
mangled, twisted and reassembled into something like music. "Saturation"
explores the possibilities of feedback softcircuits ... no-input laptop
music always on the verge of collapse.
Behrman will perform "Acoustica," a new piece in which the borderlines
between acoustic music and computer-generated sound are blurred.
"Acoustica" makes use of the capabilities of current-day laptop computers
to handle high-quality acoustic sound, recorded live and on the spot or
beforehand, in multiple layers and channels simultaneously; to process
them in various simple or sophisticated ways; and to combine them with
computer-generated sounds of different varieties. The piece moves linearly
through a number of sections in which different themes are pursued and
different events unfold. Behrman is looking for the places, somewhere
midway across the spectrum from fixed composition at one extreme to free
improvisation at the other, where performers in a particular
personally-designed, software-based situation will be most comfortable and
most energized.
Some elements in "Acoustica" go back 35 years when the work Behrman and
his friends were doing consisted sometimes of building homemade analog and
hybrid analog / digital synthesizers and of playing them in live
performances. The homemade equipment of those days had characteristics
resulting from odd limitations. Some of those odd limitations have
attracted his curiosity again lately.
Mark Trayle (b. 1955, San Jose, Calif.) works in a variety of media
including live electronic music, installations, improvisation and
compositions for chamber ensembles. In the mid-80s he was among a group of
young California composers who pioneered the use of personal computers in
music. Trayle helped found computer network band The Hub (1985-1996) with
John Bischoff, Tim Perkis, Chris Brown, Scott Gresham-Lancaster and Phil
Stone. The Hub, now playing again after a ten year hiatus, was one of the
first ensembles to investigate computer networks as a medium for musical
composition and performance.
Trayle has performed and exhibited at experimental music and new media
venues and festivals in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, including recent
appearances at t-u-b-e, DEAF ‘04, Resistance Fluctuations, net_condition,
Pro Musica Nova, Format5, and Inventionen 2004. His music has been
performed by Champs D'Action, Ensemble Zwischentoene, Kammerensemble Neue
Musik Berlin, and Ensemble Mosaik. Recent collaborators include Boris
Baltschun and Serge Baghdassarians, Toshi Nakamura, Wadada Leo Smith, and
the Rova Saxophone Quartet. Trayle has recorded for the Artifact,
Atavistic, CRI, Inial, Los Angeles River, Elektra/Nonesuch, and Tzadik
labels.
David Behrman (b. 1937, Salzburg) has been active as a composer and artist
since the 1960s and has created many works for performance as well as
sound installations. Most of his music has involved homemade electronics
and computer-controlled music systems that operate interactively with
collaborating performers.
In 1966, he founded the Sonic Arts Union with Robert Ashley, Alvin Lucier
and Gordon Mumma. Working at Columbia Records in the late 60s, he produced
the "Music of Our Time" series of new music recordings, which presented
works by Cage, Oliveros, Lucier, Reich, Riley, Pousseur and other
influential composers. From 1970-76 he worked as a composer/performer for
the Merce Cunningham Dance Company and was commissioned to write several
pieces. He received a D.A.A.D. fellowship in 1988-89 and an Individuals
Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts in 1994.
Behrman lives in New York.
David Behrman performed at Lampo in September 2003 -- his first Chicago
concert in more than 30 years. He presented "Homemade Synthesizer Music
with Sliding Pitches" and a new version of "QS/RL" made for cellist Fred
Lonberg-Holm.
JESSICA RYLAN
Something new from JR ... synthesizer blurpage and campfire vocals ...
mysteries nested like Russian dolls ... homemade and heart-wrenching.
Masters of the Ellipsis, we are.
Rylan (b. 1974, London) is a sound artist and electronic musician who
lives and works in the Boston area. She builds analog synthesizers, which
she uses for sound installations at galleries (LIST Visual Art Center at
MIT, the Boston Center for the Arts, Bard College) and also in her high
energy musical performances. Her recordings are available on RRRecords and
Ultra Eczema, as well as her own IRFP label. In 2005, Rylan was named
Research Affiliate at the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at MIT to
study chaotic synthesizer design. She has lectured at Bard College,
Boston University, Harvard and Smith College.
Jessica Rylan and her Natural Synthesizer first appeared at Lampo in
October 2005.

SAMO-WILMO-TEK SERIES @ 21 Grand
SAMO-WILMO-TEK SERIES ANNOUNCES A PERFORMANCE ON
OCTOBER 1ST AT 21 GRAND IN OAKLAND THAT FEATURES BAY
AREA ARTISTS BARBARA GOLDEN AND KATTT SAMMON.
WHAT: samo-wilmo-tek Series
* THE SERIES:
samo-wilmo-tek series was established by Kattt Sammon
& Alyssa Lee in 2004 to present the works of artists
involved in installation, dance, electronic music,
theatre, and video.
* EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Barbara Golden will perform "Acid Reflex and Other
Altered States: Paintings, Poems, Dreams, Songs Under
the Influence." Never did a thing until I was 28, in
terms of drugs, that is. My previous highs included
prawn cocktails and hot fudge sundaes. But Roberte
Rochette, my exotic neighbour from Guadeloupe, lured
me with Planters Punch, delicious concoctions of rum
and fresh fruit juices. Soon I was tongue kissing
other husbands in the kitchen and calling in absent to
my school-teaching job because I actually thought I
had "stomach flu"... And that was the beginning...
Kattt Sammon will perform a new turn of her electronic
"Influctuation" which focuses on the unvoiced
vibrations of her tongue, lips and air against a press
n seal mask, the songs "Lullaby" (duet with K.
Atchley) and "In the Breeze," "Non-Stop 20" (an
installment of Talking Trash Cycle), and the text
piece "Alex."
* ARTIST BIOS:
Barbara Golden is an interdisciplinary, artist
(discipline, yah) who divides her time between the SF
Bay Area and Montreal. She performs regularly with
WIGband, Gamelan Sekar Jaya, and on KPFA midnite
radio. Golden employs mostly archaic forms: small
aquarelles, words, piano enhanced by high (rarely),
and low tech to fashion her particular brand of
iconoclasm. She is currently working on her memoirs,
and this is a tasting from the larger oeuvre.
Kattt Sammon writes, composes, sings, reads text,
plays keyboard, and combines these disciplines into
performance. Ms. Sammon's works include solo
performance, as well as, collaborations with artist
Kenneth Atchley: and since 2003 has commissioned
musical theater pieces from a growing roster of
artists who include Judy Dunaway, Blue Gene Tyranny,
Alyssa Lee, Guillermo Galindo and Kunsu Shim. In 2005,
the text and stage diagram for her piece "Talking
Trash" was published in the anthology "Sound Visions".
Ms. Sammon has performed at venues in the Bay Area,
New York, & Germany.

Instal is a festival of underground music
13, 14, 15 October 06
Instal is a festival of underground music. Not mainstream or indie music - underground music. It's not about the Next Big Thing; it's an alternative to big things. Instal is the largest, best-attended and most exciting underground music festival in the UK, and is curated and produced for the Arches by Arika.
This year the festival will build on previous successes by commissioning original performances from and showcasing the best of international, national and Scottish underground music. In order to do this, we're expanding the festival to include a third stage, which will form the focal point of the festival later in the evening and will showcase the best up-and-coming Scottish and UK underground musicians.
We're interested in music that's made because individuals want to say something about themselves, the world around them or simply to investigate the form of music itself, without worrying about what scene they might fit into, or about sounding like someone else.
There are people all over the world making this kind of music; it's an underground community has nothing to do with connoisseurship or elitism, and everything to do with self-expression. We've handcrafted a programme and an atmosphere in which we hope this community feels real and open to anybody, where the connection between the artist, the work and the audience is direct and democratic.

"No Point Takes Up Space" sculpture by Sky Burchard
an Experimental Exhibition and Live Art/Visual Art Performance Space
Voted 5th Most Popular Art Gallery
Exhibit Dates
Wednesday through Saturday
The exhibition opening celebration
1020 East Fourth Place
Los Angeles, CA, August 28, 2006 - Ever wanted to live inside a video game? Now you can at Dangerous Curve, at Sky Bur chard's "No Point Takes Up Space" sculpture exhibit. Step inside the mind of a great artist/hacker. The exhibition celebration is on Saturday, September 16, 2006, from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. Live art and music TBA, with the usual great vegan food prepared by our master vegan chef, John Saslow. The exhibit is up until October 21, 2006. See ourwebsite for directions, pictures, and updates.
We're located at 1020 East Fourth Place, between Molino and Mateo Streets, in the back of the 500 Molino Street Lofts, #102, between the Fourth Street Bridge's (on the LA River side of downtown) two on/off ramps.
Burchard writes that he "was intensely analytic" as a child. He didn't just play with toys---he "would find their seams, test their strength, take them apart, put them back together, and exaggerate the way they were intended to be used." As with Richard Feynmann, the famous physicist, he has always been interested in how things are made, how they work. "Now I take things apart as I consume them," he writes. "I cannot throughly enjoy something if I am not taking it apart as it is coming together in front of me." He deconstructs movies as he watches them, video games as he plays them. "Avid gamers know that the best way to beat a game is to see what is behind the surface, behind the graphics and the narrative, down to the code," he writes. In fact, that is how Burchard makes art, going "about living, analyzing things, consuming them, poking holes in them while appreciating them."
This show highlights one leg of Burchard's multifarious output: his video game environments. He prefers light games to horror ones. His "Emerald Hill Zone/Act 2" is a 10-foot-long 3D version of the grass in the "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" game. He played the game when he was a child and always wanted to be inside it. In the game, we see the 2D version of the grass. Burchard "imagines" the 3D version of it, opting not for a relief, but a full-blown 3D version. He imports the image into Flash, makes a 3D template for it in Maya, snaps to grid to get measurements for cutting the parts out of EPS foam, cuts the foam, paints it, and assembles the pieces. He works bottom-up, building up works from small pieces. Nevertheless, Burchard learned from his employer Yutaka Sone not to get too detailed.
Burchard makes his "Blue Set" furniture pieces from the "Animal Crossing" game with texture maps on polystyrene, with more foam. They depict the way the game's objects are built out of 2D elements to appear 3D. He extrapolates the inner workings of various computer applications to sculpture fabrication. For instance, he noted that when one flips an image in computer graphics, one reverses the image rows, but if one "flips" each pixel-high row, one gets the same image. In "upside-down chair," he slices an IKEA children's chair horizontally, turns each slice upside down, and reassembles the chair with each slice in its respective position horizontally. The result is a chair that is globally right-side-up, but locally upside-down.
Burchard holds a BFA from UCLA and an MFA from USC. He's been seen in numerous group exhibits at such places as Black Dragon Society, Bowie Van Valen, Raid Projects, Shenandoah House, and Akiyoshidai in Japan.
Come see this beautiful show and be transported into worlds you never thought you'd visit.

"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.

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.

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."

Blood Stereo + Ludo Mich
Blood Stereo is the collaborative project of the family man of the UK noise underground, Dylan Nyoukis, and his partner Karen Constance; linchpins in the noise scene, they're also astutely aware of 20th century avant thought, subsuming electro-acoustics and sound poetry into their sound. Ludo Mich is a musician/ poet, performance artist and Fluxus associate best known (if at all) for the series of hysterical 60's / 70's films. Instal aims to join the dots between current developments and previous generation's pioneers, this collaboration does just that. A UK premiere
Indebted to '60s minimalists like LaMonte Young, Pauline Oliveros and Phil Niblock, Fullman has spend 20 years developing her Long Stringed Instrument, a unique construction involving tens of wires strung in tension over great distances (she'll take up a whole 40m arch at Instal!). For this specially commissioned performance, Ellen has written a piece for herself and drummer Sean Meehan, who has over 15 years gradually pared down his kit to a single snare drum, conjuring sustained pitches with extraordinary purity of timbre by laying cymbals on the drumhead and gently exciting the surfaces with rosined dowels. We think he's one of the most interesting improvising drummers in world. A world premiere.
The Boston duo Nmperign - soprano saxophonist Bhob Rainey and trumpeter Greg Kelley - are motivated by an intense determination to take their instruments beyond all obvious limits, far outwith the reaches of free jazz or European improvisation. Their collaborative CD with Lescalleet, (the result of 7 years of playing together live) is one of the best releases of 06, Lescalleet drawing a healthy dose of piercing noise from the two horn players as he reworks them live through tape loops and processing. Again, this is a UK premiere
Hailing from the Kansai scum rock scene (which also recently spawned Afrirampo), Oshiri Penpenz have exploded the Japanese underground with the same sort of ingeniously sloppy No Wave that made Pussy Galore so vital; a rickety clatter filled with hoarse, shouted vocals, scattered drum shots, and sharp, percussive guitar scrapings. They come to the UK with a wild reputation as the best live band in Japan right now: “most violent rock action in Japan” was how JOJO of Hijokaidan described them to me, and he would know. This is their first ever show outside of Japan.
Patterson has an incredible ear for the tiniest of sounds, setting up processes that make the minute real and understandable. Whether that's the use of tiny mics to amplify the energy released by the burning of seeds and nuts, the ever-changing drone of sparklers or the dynamic pops and bursts of glass bottles as they cool, his work is always both visually intriguing and sonically charming.
Baczkowski is one of the premiere free improvisers in the US at the moment, a wild and levelling bass sax player who has collaborated with a host of kindred spirits including Chris Corsano and Paul Flaherty. His best work to date has been with Ravi Padmanabha, a Buffalo-based percussionist able to shift between sub-continental drifts, almost rhythm and blues, to full-on pounding clatter. A UK premiere.
Quintessentially British, and with the air of a pair of crazed lab technicians, the Bohman Brothers are the creators of a unique and impure experimental music. Traces of Fluxus japery, musique concrete, sound poetry and free improvisation can be detected, but ultimately the whole is greater and more arcane than the sum of its parts. Their tabletop instrumentation - full of fans, empty bottles, locally found junk, springs and Chinese take away menus - is a sight to behold.
Lethe is the solo project of Kiyoharu Kuwayama, one of the most startling young musicians in Japan today, his music marked by a profound interest in spaces both musical and physical. For his solo performance at Instal, Kuwayama has constructed 4 steel tables, which once heated by a single candle until searingly hot he then plays by rubbing dry ice across the table top, causing a caustic metallic drone to engulf the space: unlike any musical performance you'll see this year. A UK premiere.
Haino is without a doubt one of the most coruscating and urgent performers in music today with a catalogue of intensely realized conceptions, stretching far beyond the rock canon, each encompassing great dynamic range, numbing power and devastating emotional depth. Tony Conrad is a master of the exceptionally gradual surprise: his work (in the early days of the Velvet Underground, with the Theatre of Eternal Music, his legendary side with Faust and his own staggering layered violin works, which sound most like a fleet of B52s preparing for launch) marks him out as one of the true pioneers of avant thought. This is the first time they have played together in public.
'Metal Music Machine' is the new Jazkamer line-up - a leather-caked supergroup formed around Lasse Marhaug and John Hegre, expanded to include members of Black Metal heroes Enslaved and Manngard. It collides grindcore, extreme doom, 80's thrash and Glenn Branca-like black metal into a seething hulk of pulsating vitriol that is oddly nowhere near as savage as that description sounds. This is the first time this line up have played live.
Umeda works with self-built instruments to set up feedback environments within a space. His charmingly homemade speaker orchestras, with tweeters replacing the blades on domestic fans, produce densely evolving drones that change as you move around the space, and seem at times to be emanating from between your ears.
Working across circular breathing bass clarinet, wild throat singing, and the psychedelic use of a singing copper kettle and jaw harp, De Dionyso's Breath of Fire LP is one of the most startling free recordings of the century to date. His live performances are by all accounts shamanic - the Wire's Brian Morton said “De Dionyso doesn't so much shape a performance as let the spirit descend on him haphazardly”. This is his first ever show in the UK.
A member of Japanese psychedelic rock group Overhang Party and VAVA KITORA, Sachiko's first solo album you never atone for is one of the best debuts in years, a collection of wordless, floating star fields that at times remind you of liturgical chant, and at others explode into ferocious Patty Waters-style vocal hysteria. This is her first solo performance outside Japan.
Raw, live, avant-garde jazz: music that soars and uplifts and ignores all boundaries. Trumpeter and bass clarinetist Matt Lavelle is rewriting the rules for the trumpet with a scale that includes nondiatonic (western) notes, giving his music a unique richness. In Eye Contact, he's joined by Matt Heyner (of No Neck Blues Band and the legendary underground jazz cabal TEST) and Ryan Sawyer on drums. Heyner is an amazing bassist, highly intuitive and lyrical, with a wealth of influences, including flamenco and heavy metal. Sawyer is exciting as well, his kit propelling the music with both delicate stickwork and full-out cooking. A UK premiere
Kiyoharu Kuwayama and Rina Kijima are formidable players, and so well attuned to each other that their improvisations cannot be distinguished from highly complex compositions. With a particular interest in ambient sound, and locations that inspire improvisation, that can be worked with, they take advantage of the natural reverb of each location (under a bridge at night, an abandoned warehouse), and changing their position in it while playing create beautiful and charged performances. UK premiere
Maryanne is interested in sound. Not necessarily air-born sound, but structural-born sound, sound that rattles buildings but also the inner workings of your head and body. A friend of mine told me that when he visited one of her performed installations in New York, he walked through the space and felt as though the sounds he was hearing were somehow slowing him down, as if he were walking through sonic tar. He turned to explain this to his companion and as he opened his mouth, a sound that was not being created anywhere in the room came out of his mouth. The cavities in his skull were resonating and creating a shifting tone that wasn't present otherwise, but which Maryanne had composed her piece to utilize. When he closed his mouth, it stopped. Maryanne's work is complex, theoretically rigorous and yet utterly human and physical, perplexing yet engaging. This is her first ever performance in Scotland.
As mentioned above, the festival will also present a platform to some of the best young acts from the UK each night. This is still being finalised, but will hopefully include Usurper, Wounded Knee, Hockyfrilla, Kylie Minoise, NOMA, Opaque, Ben Reynolds, Polly Shang Kuan Band, Red Kites and Jazzfinger.
In addition, we're also planning a series of talks and workshops, including a 2 week residency from the most interesting music education practitioner in the USA, David Dove, at Platform, the new arts centre for Easterhouse. David's workshops for children and young adults are designed to stimulate a supportive environment for artistic exploration through music improvisation.
