TwoTwenty/OneTen
REDCAT, Los Angeles, January 25-27 at 8:30 p.m.
redcat.org/season/0607/mus/ceait.php
TwoTwenty/OneTen Festival
The genre-defying festival, TwoTwenty/OneTen, curated by the CalArts
Center for Experiments in Art, Information and Technology, offers
three evenings of new improvised music and multimedia. Opening the
festival is Miya Masaoka, the Alpert Award-winning composer, sound
artist and koto player. Masaoka's work incorporates field recordings
and sounds generated by insects, the physiological processes of
plants, and the human brain. This year's fest also brings programs
from the Sicilian composer and improviser Domenico Sciajno, whose
practice focuses on a process generating or modifying sounds through
visual parameters and processes; and Tokyo-based sound artist, Toshi
Nakamura, who uses his signature “no-input mixing board” to develop
controlled improvisations despite the "accidental" nature of his
feedback system. Each artist will perform a solo set, and then a
second set with Los Angeles-based improvisors Hans W. Koch (25 Jan.),
David Rothbaum (26 Jan.) and Lewis Keller and Carole Kim (27 Jan.).

About Tape Music and SFTMF
In the early part of the 20th century when the idea of recorded sounds was still novel, a new kind of music began to emerge. This music did not treat the recording medium as a stand-in for an absent performer, or a document of a musical performance, but as a vital and unique territory for exploration in and of itself. Tape music does not worship the technology with which it was produced, or the medium in which it is contained. It is a sonic inquiry, sculpting a new kind of music from the entire palette of sound.
The San Francisco Tape Music Festival began eight years ago in true underground fashion in a warehouse in Oakland. A small collective of composers wired the space with their own equipment to hear their favorite works in surround sound and experiment themselves with multichannel composition. Since then they have become one of the premiere presenters of fixed media music on the West Coast.
SFTMF would like the thank the following organizations for their generous support:

Artist Jo Derbyshire in Loft Space Project ... Review of "When the City Speaks" A
Review' by Artist Jo Derbyshire, Loft Space Project, Liverpool, England.
Written by Gaynor Evelyn Sweeney, Photographs by Tony Knox.
20 January 2007
The 'Loft Space' project was unveiled today by Jo Derbyshire, an initiative
conceived and curated by the artist. In the urban space of a house in Liverpool,
once a location for the infamous 'Bread' television series in the late eightees and
in the same area where 'Boys from the Black Stuff' and the 'Liver Birds' were
filmed. A location synonymous with media, whether socio-political critique and
satire on the community of the place.
This is the first in a series of exhibitions to be researched and developed by the
artist with other artists to contribute and respond to the space and location of the
house. The opening exhibition to this programme is a collection of Derbyshire's
recent and current art research and projects, titled 'When the City Speaks – A
Review'.
Derbyshire presents a collection of art, including her two large abstract expression
pieces. These are faces with undertones of of Picasso-esque influence and similar
the other, but in pastels, a fusion of mass of faces peering inwards and outwards of
the two dimensional surface. They are described as psychoanalytical studies of form
and tone and within the layers of each abstracted composition of the human face or
head something different to be discovered and realised by each viewer's
perspectives.
Along the peripheral of the far wall is an installation of photographs and
paintings. The photographs an anthology of visual records of generations gone
before. There are mixed media paintings combined, which evolved from each live art
intervention in different cities of 'When the City Speaks'. This is project where
audience participation determines the evolution of the art by contributing during
the live art experience.
These canvases themselves become artefacts at the moment of intervention by the
audience, but organic as they continue to the next urban and cultural space.
Adjacent to these are a series of photographic images (documented by Tony Knox for
Derbyshire) from previous incarnations of 'When the City Speaks'. They present an
archival record of the journey of the canvases in the installation and a visual
understanding to the next stage of development in the context of this current
project in the 'Loft Space'.
The concept of the 'Loft Space' and Derbyshire's interest in urban culture takes the
concept of spatiality and re-addressed the urban to the institutional constructs
where the art and visual dialogue become archive and artefact.
This is an immensely innovative project conceived by Derbyshire and in this first
exhibition provides a thought provoking platform to the concepts of display,
aesthetic form and function and art objects. I would strongly recommend a viewing to
this exhibition, which runs for a week, 21January 2007 - 27 January 2007. This is by
appointment only. For further information or viewing contact the artist at
aprilskies1204@aol.com or 07946353251. You can view more art of Derbyshire at
www.joderbyshire.co.uk.
The programme for the 'Loft Space' continues with the following artists to explore
diverse creative insights and interpretation of the space.

Boston:
New England Conservatory Performance Series
Program Bids Farewell to Composition Chair Prior to Departure from Boston
As New England Conservatory composition chair Lee Hyla '75 ends a remarkable
teaching run in Boston, the NEC Composers' Series celebrates his time in our
community with a concert of his music, January 30 at 8 p.m. in Jordan Hall. A
member of the NEC composition faculty since 1992, appointed co-chair in 1998 and
full chair in 2000, Hyla will become the Harry N. and Ruth F. Wyatt Chair of
Music Composition at Northwestern University in September.
A highlight of the concert will be the Boston premiere of Paradigm Lost for
saxophone quartet, which was commissioned by Chamber Music America and first
performed by the Prism Quartet in May 2005. Stephen Drury of the piano faculty
will perform the solo piano work, Basic Training (1994) and will be soloist in
the Concerto for Piano and Chamber Orchestra No. 2 (1991), conducted by Charles
Peltz. Drury will also conduct Pre-Pulse Suspended for chamber orchestra (1984).
Baritone Mark McSweeney and pianist Judith Gordon '84 DP, '88 will perform
Wilson's Ivory Bill and alto saxophonist Tim Smith takes on Pre-Amnesia (1979).
Born in Niagara Falls, New York, Hyla grew up in Greencastle, Indiana. After
graduating from NEC, he received his M.A. from SUNY Stony Brook and lived in New
York City before returning to the Conservatory.
Current commissions include a solo violin piece for Midori and Vadim Repin; a
Concerto for Orchestra for the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra funded by Meet the
Composer, and a piece based on Polish folk songs for Boston Musica Viva. Next
year, Hyla will serve as Meet the Composer/Music Alive Composer-in-residence with
the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.
Hyla has also received commissions from the Koussevitsky, Fromm, Barlow and
Naumburg Foundations, the Mary Flagler Charitable Trust, the St. Botolph Club of
Boston, and the Concert Artists Guild. In addition, he has been the recipient of
a Guggenheim Fellowship, two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships, the
Goddard Lieberson Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the
Stoeger Prize from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and the Rome
Prize. He has written for the Lydian String Quartet, pianist Stephen Drury,
cellist Rhonda Ryder, Triple Helix piano trio, the Kronos Quartet, Speculum
Musicae, and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. His music has been recorded on the
Nonesuch, New World, Avant, CRI and the Tzadik labels.
His newest CD on Tzadik, Wilson's Ivory-bill, has just been released. It contains
the title cut (with Mark McSweeney and Judith Gordon), the String Quartet No. 4
(with the Lydian String Quartet), the piano trio Amnesia Redux (with Triple
Helix), and The Dream of Innocent III for amplified cello, piano, and percussion
(cellist Rhonda Rider, pianist Judith Gordon, and percussionist Robert Schulz).
According to the New Grove Dictionary, Hyla's musical style "seeks to find a
common ground between the postwar American Expressionism of such composers as
Stefan Wolpe and Elliott Carter, and the gritty urban style of Avant-Garde Jazz
musicians such as Cecil Taylor and the rougher styles of Rock, especially Punk."
The January 30 concert is free and open to the public.

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.

Chicago:
Lampo performances!
2116 W. Chicago Ave., Chicago, Ill.
Friends,
We're pleased to announce our winter season.
First concert this Saturday at the Renaissance Society (FREE)!
JAN 27 ... C. SPENCER YEH
All at 9PM. Admission open to all ages.
LAMPO Winter 2007
C. SPENCER YEH
Solo voice and violin from C. Spencer Yeh. You may know him as Burning
Star Core, BxC, or that genius from Cincinnati.
Here, he'll present two works: "Two Mouths Breath as One," is a new stereo
microphone improvisation set up to address the visual aspects of vocal
performance—by obscuring the performer. That is, you won't be able to see
his (inherently comical?) facial contortions. With Yeh hidden, is the
live, real-time performance less real? Only you can answer that question.
(But please, do it privately, in your head. Others will be listening to
the concert.) "Amplified Violin" is as titled, violin improvised and given
a light sonic treatment, without masking the organic nature of the
instrument. Yeh will not be concealed in this segment.
C. Spencer Yeh (b. 1975, Taipei, Taiwan) moved to the U.S. in 1980, and
now lives in Cincinnati, Ohio. He is active both as a solo and ensemble
artist, as well as with his primary organized sound project, Burning Star
Core. As an improviser, Yeh has focused on developing a personal
vocabulary using voice, violin and electronics. Collaborative partners
include Double Leopards, John Olson (of Wolf Eyes and Dead Machines), Hair
Police, Thurston Moore, the Hototogisu, Pengo, Jessica Rylan and many
others.
Co-presented with the Renaissance Society, 5811 S. Ellis Ave. FREE Admission.
LEIF ELGGREN W/ KEVIN DRUMM
Aficionados of the semi-hilarious may, like Lampo, find a hero in Leif
Elggren.
The Swedish artist will premiere his new work, "If Other People Exist Then
They Are Totally Sealed Secrets (The Voice as an Irregular Sound
Generator)." He's conceived the piece especially for this Chicago concert.
Voice and video, motors and vibrating tin can crowns. Then, following this
solo royaling, more roiling in duo with Chicagoan Kevin Drumm.
Active since the late 1970s, Leif Elggren (b. 1950, Linköping, Sweden) is
a writer, visual artist, art book publisher, stage performer and composer
based in Stockholm. His varied and prolific output routinely involves
dreams, subtle absurdities and social hierarchies turned upside-down. His
audio work, often created as the soundtrack to an installation or
performance, has been released on labels such as Ash International, Touch,
Radium and his own Firework Edition. In 1988 he formed the duo Guds Söner
(the Sons of God, with Kent Tankred). That same year he released his debut
solo LP "Flown Over by an Old King." Elggren also is the benevolent
co-monarch (with Carl Michael von Hausswolff) of Elgaland-Vargaland, all
areas of no-man's land, territories between national boundaries on both
land and sea, digital and mental spaces. This nation has its own national
anthem, flag, coat of arms, currency, citizens and ministers.
JOE COLLEY & JASON LESCALLEET
Colley (from California) and Lescalleet (from Maine) meet up in the great
Midwest. Cheap electronics, tape loops, decay, good times.
Both are drone prone, with a taste for texture. They share an active,
physical approach to live performance and a common predilection for old,
broken equipment. Really spectacular stuff that defies the man-made blurb.
Alternating solo sets on 3/9; duos on 3/10. One nice price for the Fri-Sat
combo, if you're so inclined.
Joe Colley (b.1972, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.), based in Oakland, 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. His
lo-fi experiments encompass abstract electronic/noise composition,
amplification of natural phenomena, investigations into phase, and
creation of complex mass from layers of simplistic sound material. His
performances have been seen as part of festivals including Activating the
Medium (SFMOMA), Observatori (Valencia, Spain), Lampo (Chicago, Ill.),
Phonotaktik (Vienna, Austria), Mutek (Montreal, Canada), Beyond Music
(Venice, Ca.), and Songlines (Mills College, Oakland, Ca.). Notable
recordings include "Desperate Attempts at Beauty: Conceptual and Research
Exercises" (Auscultare Research), which was nominated for the Transmediale
05 Award, and "Psychic Stress Soundtracks" (Antifrost), which received an
Award of Distinction at Ars Electronica 2006. Colley first appeared at
Lampo in February 2004.
Jason Lescalleet (b. 1968, Worcester, Mass.) uses a ragtag collection of
ancient reel-to-reel tape recorders and equally tattered electronics,
running short loops of crumpled tape between machines. He blends layers of
ambient tape loops, found sound, shades of silence and white noise, all
transformed through cheap microphones and trashed speakers. He has
performed and recorded with Greg Kelley, Ron Lessard, Donald Miller, John
Hudak and Thomas Ankersmit. Recent recordings include "Forlorn Green"
(Erstwhile) with Kelley, "Annihilate This Week" (Korm Plastics) with
Colley, and "The Pilgrim" (Glistening Examples), a solo project and
memorial to his father. Lescalleet lives in Maine.

Barry Snyder, piano, has developed a reputation as a versatile musician,
performing an array of solo, concerto, and chamber concerts. He gained early
attention at age 22, winning three major prizes in the Van Cliburn
International Piano Competition. He has since made 36 recordings and, over a
period of almost four decades, given several concerts around the world. Mr.
Snyder has been a soloist with a number of orchestras, including the
Detroit, National Symphony, Houston, Atlanta, Singapore, and Japan
Philharmonic orchestras, and has worked with conductors such as Robert Shaw,
Leopold Stokowski, David Zinman, and Charles Dutoit. As a chamber music
collaborator, Mr. Snyder has appeared with artists such as Herman Prey, Jan
de Gaetani, Zvi Zeitlin, and Sylvia Rosenberg, as well as with the
Cleveland, Purcell, and Curtis quartets. An exponent of 20th-century music,
he has given several world premieres of works by Sydney Hodkinson, Toshio
Hosakawa, and Augusta Reed Thomas. In addition, several works have been
written for him, including Verne Reynolds’ Florilegium, Volumes I and II,
and Carter Pann’s Improvisations on the Name Barry Snyder for solo piano. A
professor of piano and co-chair of the piano department at the University of
Rochester's Eastman School of Music, Mr. Snyder has given master classes at
the Royal Northern College of Music, Trinity College and the Guildhall
School, Hochschule für Musik, and the Manhattan School of Music, among

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

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

Viralnet.net is now online!
Viralnet is a productive nexus: critique, archive, art space and journal.
It intends to raise questions and provoke assumptions about culture,
media, politics and the arts.
Working with international social critics, media theorists, writers,
curators and artists, it is an online space that will grow and mutate as
it delivers material for these post-digital, post-democratic times. As
human experience becomes more mediated, we will highlight alternative
pathways into future thought and art making.
Produced by the Center for Integrated Media and the MFA Writing Program at
CalArts, Viralnet offers a series of commissioned online projects, essays
and interviews with a view toward articulating new concepts and working
strategies developed by contemporary intermedia artists, writers and
theorists. Tom Leeser, Director of the Center for Integrated Media,
says Viralnet is set up to look at digital media in relation to
culture, politics and the arts. The computer and the Internet have
expanded far beyond the boundaries of an exclusive digital domain,
allowing a transformation from novelty to the familiar," he says. "As with
radio at the beginning of the 20th century, digital technology has entered
a state of flux, going from an object of privilege to a common and
everyday ubiquitous appliance. This will have creative, social and
political ramifications that we are only beginning to
experience and understand."
Some of the contributors to this release of Viralnet include; social
critic and author, Norman Klein, new media theorist and author, Lisa
Nakamura, Kitchen curator and author, Christina Yang, artists, Perry
Hoberman and Sara Roberts.

"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."

CALL FOR SCORES – CABRILLO COMPOSERS WORKSHOP – DEADLINE MARCH 1st, 2007
Led by Maestro Marin Alsop, the Cabrillo Conductors'/Composers' Workshop brings together leading faculty, the award-winning Cabrillo Festival Orchestra, and early career conductors and composers for a professional training program which focuses on the creation and performance of new music. The five-day program is held in downtown Santa Cruz, California, and involves 3 selected composers, 7 participating conductors, and up to 13 auditing conductors.
Now in its seventh season, this workshop is presented in collaboration with the international Conductors Guild. Maestro Alsop and Gustav Meier serve as faculty for the Conductors Workshop sessions, and composer Michael Daugherty joins them as faculty for the Composers Workshop. All student conductors and composers participate for the full five days of the program, which takes place in the context of the Cabrillo Orchestra's rehearsal and performance schedule.
Selected composers will have their work conducted by participating conductors, under the direction of Marin Alsop, and performed by members of the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra. Three dedicated rehearsals will take place, culminating with an "In the Works" concert where each piece will receive two performances. Composers will receive recordings from each rehearsal and the final concert. Composing faculty Michael Daugherty will offer guidance and seminars throughout, other Festival composers-in-residence will participate, and direct feedback will be offered from the players and conductors.
Further details about the program and the submission process are outlined below.
Composers are invited to submit one score, recording on CD (if available, MIDI versions are acceptable), and resume to arrive no later than March 1st, to the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, 104 Walnut Avenue, Suite 206, Santa Cruz, CA 95060. If you have any questions or wish to discuss the program in greater detail, please feel free to contact Ellen Primack, Executive Director of the Cabrillo Festival at 831.426.6966 or via email at ellen@cabrillomusic.org.

Chisel, cut, mix, set in spaceŠSound has the power of the cinema and is lighter
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:

Performance art, video, installations, experimental music.
Dangerous Curve is a new Downtown Los Angeles experimental exhibition
and performance art space committed to supporting visionary emerging
artists of all ages, by emphasizing one-person shows of risky,
intelligent work that is not necessarily commercially viable nor
currently popular. Dangerous Curve is also a new venue for performance
artists, with performance-exhibits, monthly performance art and
experimental music events, and an annual end-of-summer festival planned.
Dangerous Curve is looking for performance artists and experimental
musicians for their monthly Performance Art and Experimental Music
Nights. We will give preference to work that is, in the words of Jacki
Apple, radical content in radical form. We want work that pushes
the envelope, not pure dance, singing, or theatre.
Submission format: DVDs/CDs/URLs preferred. We can handle videotapes
and slides, but not to your best advantage. For performance art, a
written description may even suffice; musicians must send samples.
Deadline: Ongoing.
Mailing address: Dangerous Curve, POB 532281, Los Angeles, CA 90053-2281
See dangerouscurve.org for directions, etc.
New Media Scotland calls for participation for Drift - an exploration
of sound art and experimental music which comprises live events,
radio broadcasts, moving image and publications.
The accessibility of the Internet together with new tools and methods
for digital recording, manipulation, reproduction and distribution
have changed forever the way that we think about and interact with
sound, giving us new ways to communicate our ideas. An increasing
number of artists, producers, DJ's and sonic creators, from a broad
spectrum of disciplines and varying modes of practice, are exploring
streaming media as a viable format. We want to open up this channel
further.
We are offering four opportunities to take part in Drift, details
follow. Further information, guidelines and application forms

much more noise insulation from the street than our old space
