COSMOS is located at 21st and Bryant, one block south to the future from Blowfish Sushi, in San Francisco. for more details, sound samples, and photos, see http://detritus.net/events/cosmos, or write to info@detritus.net Details about the performers People Like Us Since 1991 Vicki Bennett has been producing music, radio art and video work under the name People Like Us. She has released 3 CD's and a host of records in both Holland and America. She has created sound works for Radio Brandenburg (Germany), Radio 100 (Holland), KPFA, KBOO, Free Radio Berkeley & KFJC (USA) and regularly broadcasts her work on Holland's VPRO. Vicki has frequently collaborated with a variety of audio and visual artists and Spring 1999 sees the release of a CD of remixes by 24 of these groups. Wobbly Wobbly began in 1990 as a weekly live mix radio program in Santa Barbara. Shifting participants, content ranging from talk radio parody/critique & cut-ups to narratives to improvisatory tape-electronic sound. Upon relocating to San Francisco in 1994, Wobbly was acquired by the super powerful corporation General Injectables and Signals, and annexed to the Digital Adepts Program as a content provider. Wobbly recordings remain white dots of sound. Documentation of their pure radio work, structured isolationist long form compositions, and by demand, found songs. Mr. Meridies' Optimization Routine Mr. Meridies = Bob Boster's thin veil of anonymity in the face of a systematic pattern of cultural poaching. The Optimization Routine includes a dynamic mapping of collage, performance art, found sound, and improvisational elements which will respond to the specific needs of the assembled audience, thereby maximizing their receptive capacities. The Optimization Routine will resemble, but not replicate previous mappings as documented by Illegal Art's _Deconstructing Beck_ CD, Friction Media's _Cognitive Mapping Vol 2_ CD, or Mr. Meridies own eponymous release, as well as various live incarnations. We hope you will consider this one-time shareware package for use with your personal operating system. The Optimization Routine is not Microsoft Certified. Steev Hise Currently based in San Francisco, Steev Hise has been making experimental music, performance art, and video since approximately 1990. At California Institute of the Arts he studied composition with Morton Subotnick and Wadada Leo Smith, sound design with Tom Erbe, and critical theory with Dick Hebdige. He has performed across North America. His work centers around appropriation and recontextualization of pre-existing culture, in other words, making new art from the old. Steev's recordings appear on several Viral Communications releases and on the Illegal Art compilation _Deconstructing Beck_. For more information on his work and VirComm, see http://www.detritus.net/steev, or write to vircomm@cyborganic.net. At Cosmos Steev will be performing with his sampletar, a hybrid computer/sampler/guitar instrument of his own design. Experimental vocalist Merlin Coleman will also make a guest appearance during Steev's set. DETRITUS is an online resource center located at http://detritus.net, focused on the artistic reuse of culture and collage in all media. It is intended as both community gathering place and scholarly clearinghouse, a place for those who create and study appropriation art to learn and share.
From: Richard Andrews- CONCERT J.D. Parran, contrabass clarinet and other instruments Vijay Iyer, piano David Wessel, live interactive electronics. SATURDAY DEC. 12, 8 PM UC Berkeley Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT) 1750 Arch Street, Berkeley Tickets: $10 general, $5 students Legendary multi-instrumentalist J.D. Parran teams up with the acclaimed jazz pianist and composer Vijay Iyer and the innovative computer musician David Wessel for an evening of improvisations and original compositions at Berkeley's historic 1750 Arch Street, now the site of the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT). Currently a visiting professor at Mills College, the New York-based J.D. Parran is a brilliant reedsman, composer, and bandleader hailing from St. Louis. After decades of collaborative work with the most important creative musicians of our time, including Anthony Braxton, Muhal Richard Abrams, Don Byron, Roscoe Mitchell, and Anthony Davis, Mr. Parran has recently released his first album with his own group, Spirit Stage. The great Alvin Batiste writes of this disc, *J.D. has captured threads of expression that connect the diversity of diasporan idioms resonating in the African American experience, and has done so in a hip and urban manner.* Vijay Iyer has been hailed as a *keyboard visionary* and "*one of the finest young musicians currently working in the Bay Area"* by the San Francisco Bay Guardian. He has worked closely with artists such as saxophonist Steve Coleman, trombonist George Lewis, hip-hop innovators Midnight Voices, and the legendary poet Amiri Baraka, and he has released two critically praised discs, *Memorophilia* and *Architextures*, on Asian Improv Records. David Wessel is Professor of Music at the University of California, Berkeley where he is Director of CNMAT, a research institute for computer-music applications. He is particularly interested in live-performance computer music where improvisation plays an essential role. He has collaborated in performance with a variety of improvising composers including Roscoe Mitchell, Steve Coleman, Ushio Torikai, Thomas Buckner, Vinko Globokar, Jin Hi Kim, Shafqat Ali Khan, George Lewis, and Laetitia Sonami, and has performed throughout the US and Europe. The potential in this unique combination of artists should make for a fascinating evening, not to be missed.

Pamela Z PARTS OF SPEECH (a solo performance work about language) The first week of December, 1998, at Theater Artaud in San Francisco, Pamela Z will perform PARTS OF SPEECH, a large scale interdisciplinary solo performance work using extended vocal performance, live electronic sound processing, found text, sampled sounds of speech fragments, and projected still and moving images. The soundscore will be performed live and will include samples triggered with a wireless MIDI controller which allows the performer to manipulate sound by making physical gestures. PARTS OF SPEECH focuses on the language of asking (begging), the changing language of gender, questioning, grammar (dialect), small talk, coercion, technology, and news (mass media). It examines and makes music of the subtleties of the human speaking voice with it's diverse languages, accents, and dialects. Pamela Z appears as narrator, news commentator, storyteller, and cantor in this word ritual. The audience finds themselves in the midst of an aural and visual landscape of queries they can answer in any way they choose. Parts of Speech is a grammar quiz made up entirely of trick questions THEATER ARTAUD 450 Florida (Between 17th and Mariposa Streets) in San Francisco Thursday, Friday, & Saturday December 3,4, & 5, 1998 at 8pm "Insights" discussion (Hosted by Charles Amirkhanian) immediately following Friday performance.

Conceived, written, composed and performed by Pamela Z; Lighting Design: Joey Williams; Set Design: Lauren Elder; Still Projections: Larry Ackerman; Video: Please Louise Productions. This performance is supported by an Individual Artist Commissioning Grant from the San Francisco Art Commission and by a grant the LEF Foundation. "It is often said that music is a language. I am more inclined to believe language is music. I am constantly drawn to the depth of melodic and timbral complexity of the spoken word, and when language sounds are organized and repeated, very satisfying and compelling sound works often result." -Pamela Z

(Doors Open at 1pm)

On Sunday, November 8, at 2 pm (in the Great Hall of Cooper Union) ASCI will celebrate a major aspect of the origins of the creative explosion which has resulted in multimedia, electronic music, and a new way of conceiving of art -- as it looks at: "Bell Labs and the Origins of the Multimedia Artist." The second half of the 20th century offered a new set of tools for artists to work with -- namely, digital computers. Bell Labs provided an environment for some of the early experiments in using these new technologies for both music and visual experimentation -- both for artists and scientists.
Some of the people who were a part of that heady period at Bell Labs will explore the projects and events that made that time so exciting. They include:
Ken Knowlton
- one of the early developers of computer motion pictures
Max Mathews
- often referred to as the "father of computer music"
Emmanuel Ghent
- composer/pioneer of algorithmic music, computer-controlled lighting
A. Michael Noll
- extended the capabilities of the technologies
Laurie Spiegel
- composer/visual artist who did extensive creative work there
Jerry Spivack
- brought interactive graphics into a museum setting
Doree Seligmann
- on the current relationship of Bell Labs to multimedia
Carl Machover
- consultant on computer graphics technologies
For those interested in discovering the period which opened up the multimedia revolution, and for those who are helping to extend this revolution into the next century, this panel represents an unprecedented opportunity to enrich the digital art industries of the future by sharing its unique beginnings.
The event will consist of Q&A from the moderator and audience, and audio/visual materials documenting the work of these innovators.

Tuesday, October 20, 8pm KAM FONG AS CHIN HO (Arthur Jarvinen and Ryan Francesconi) This duo made their debut last April at Roulette (NYC). This will be their first L.A. appearance. United by a mutual enthusiasm for the Casio VL-Tone, Ryan and Art use stomp boxes, custom software, sruti box, harmonica, guitar, and voice to create some very unusual music, spanning the gap between quiet repose and reckless abandon. As Art says, "This is what the music we sent into outer space will sound like to THEM." with : STEUART LIEBIG electric bass guitar with StALiq, a new quartet featuring Jeff Gauthier, violin; Eric Barber, saxophone; and Alex Cline, drums. Four superb musicians in an evening of new Liebig compositions. Steuart put this group together especially for this concert. These are some of L.A.'s best improvisers, but the concert will also be a showcase for some of Liebig's compositions in a more "chamber music" genre.

For the first time in the 28-year history of California Institute of the Arts, women of the School of Music have produced a CD of original compositions by women performers. Finding no established outlet at CalArts for female musicians to record and produce a cross-genre album, students Hillary Maroon and Sandra Velasquez were inspired to produce XX 1998: CalArts Women's CD. With the intention of promoting women musicians, the producers secured funding from the Institute to create this 100% student-made compilation. The eclectic album features twelve original compositions in styles including avant jazz, roc en espanol and R & B. Instruments range from the bassoon and sitar to frame drum and Fender Rhodes. The artists come from a variety of discliplines within the School of Music, such as chamber music, instrumental jazz, classical Indian, and Ghanian music. |

Ms. Murgatroid Miss Murgatroid is an avant accordianist of an otherwordly ilk -- combining dense reed explorations and effectual tonal strains to make songs that echo soundtracks of the past and soundscapes of the future. "Her talent reveals haunting overtones overlaid with skating, slippery melodies, goofy dirges that rely on air more than notes and fingers, unrecognizable noise wheezes and unearthly shudders." -- Time Out New York Ted Reichman Best known for his work with Anthony Braxton, Ted Reichman's accordian playing combines elements of new music, jazz, folk, and rock. Guy Klucevsek Guy Klucevsek has been described as "a musical Orient Express whose themes pass from Hungarian gypsy to Slovenian waltz to Middle Eastern wail without stopping at the borders."

In The Yard : A Celebration of Performance, Music, Film and Food featuring Performances by : John Bergamo Leather Hyman Mary Mullen and the Following Films : Bouquets 1-10 by Rose Lowder Tarp by Richard Myers I'll Walk With God by Scott Stark Decodings by Michael Wallin THIS IS GOING TO BE THE HOT EVENT OF THE HOT SUMMER!!!!! GREAT EXPERIMENTAL FILMS, PERFORMERS AND DINNER, ALL FOR ONLY $20.00 (plus the cost of beverages). JOIN THE HARDEST WORKING LITTLE ARTS ORGANIZATION IN THE LAND (Well, okay, we may not be the James Brown Band of the arts, but we do work hard to bring you more fun than anyone thought was possible and still present really hot experimental and new art) FOR SUMMER'S MUSIC AND FILM FINALE. NewTown continues its exploration of new ways to make adventuresome and challenging performing and media arts enjoyably accessible to more people. With its first excursion outside of the Pasadena area, NewTown takes its multidisciplinary evening into Sylmar, a city which has quietly attracted a thriving community of experimental and progressive artists, mostly culled from the elite, sun-baked graduates of Cal Arts. In The Yard, like many of NewTown's events is designed to make cutting-edge art an experience that is simultaneously fun and an appropriate setting for works too often confined in venues and situations "preaching to the converted". The public is invited to come, bring a chair or lawn blanket, if they wish, and enjoy tasty food, adventuresome music in three distinct styles and four films by award winning mediamakers from throughout the nation.
Lukas Ligeti will perform a concert of his solo compositions and improvisations for electronic drums, as well as some pieces for acoustic drum set, at
TONIC
on
Saturday, August 22, 1998
Sets begin at 9 and 10:30 p.m. Admission: $6
He will play some of his solo pieces in a choreographic, motion-based way,
generating long polymetric patterns inspired by musical thinking from
different parts of Africa. Influences from other musical traditions, such
as those of China and Korea, are also present, as is rhythmic and melodic
craziness referencing worlds as diverse as contemporary European
composition, Captain Beefheart, avant-garde jazz and new electronica. Even
though he plays drums, not nearly all of the sounds he uses can be considered
percussive.
"Lukas Ligeti on electronic, sample-based drums is probably without peer in
the current music scene."--Jazz-Podium (Germany)
(Tonic's website: http://www.tonic107.com)
Some other upcoming events with Lukas Ligeti (** indicates a New York event)
*Hildegurls - Composers Eve Beglarian, Lisa Bielawa, Kitty Brazelton and Elaine Kaplinsky provide 21st century perspectives on Hildegard von Bingen's 12th century Ordo Virtuum at the Lincoln Center Festival, July 22, 24 and 25 at 8:00 p.m. Clark Studio Theater, $25 unreserved seating.
Four cutting-edge composers/singers, Eve Beglarian, Lisa Bielawa,
Kitty Brazelton and Elaine Kaplinsky form an electronic ensemble to
bring 21st century perspectives to bear on this 12th century
morality play written by German mystic, Hildegard von Bingen.
Hildegurls' version of Ordo Virtuum offers a sharp contrast to Sequentia's
authentic recreation of the same work.
*The Patrick Grant Group performed at The Knitting Factor July 28th at 7:00 P.M.
This large ensemble's music has been described by the Village Voice's Kyle Gann as being "clearly Balinese inspired,...but there's also a driving and rather harsh energy redolent of rock, as well as a cleanly (Western) melodicism...motorically 'snapped to grid', in computer parlance, the music's momentum and intricate cross-rhythms rarely let up, making the occasional infectious tunes that emerge all the more beautiful for surprise...the slight microtonal retunings...give the music a highly original punch." On this Knitting Factory concert, the group will perform selections from the CD Fields Amaze as well as some premieres for this ensemble of keyboards, gamelan, winds, string and percussion.
*Second Meeting in Sarvar , July 19 - 26, Sarvar, Hungary
From July 19 - 26, at Nadasdy Castle in Sarvar, Hungary, about 200 km from
Budapest and Vienna, with artistic direction by Istvan Szigeti and Igor
Lintz-Maues and with the participation of the EAR Ensemble (Budapest),
there will be a gathering of composers and public interested in electronic
music. The Electroacoustic Music Studio of the Hungarian Radio (HEAR
Studio) and the Austrian Society for Electroacoustic Music (GEM) invite
composers from all over the world to attend.

PRESS RELEASE FROM THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA
CHAR DAVIES: EPHEMERE
PREMIERES AT THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA
from 26 June to 7 September 1998
OTTAWA, Canada * 12 June 1998 * The National Gallery is proud to
present the world premiere of Ephemere (1998), an interactive, fully
immersive virtual reality installation by the Canadian artist Char Davies.
Ephemere is a spatially-enveloping audio-visual environment based on
metaphorical elements of nature and landscape, flesh and bone, suggesting a
symbolic correspondence between body and earth. It will be on view in Video
Gallery B209.
Based in Montreal, Char Davies has achieved international
recognition for her work in virtual reality, fusing art and technology. She
was born in Toronto, and studied Liberal Arts from 1973 to 1975 at
Bennington College, Vermont. In 1978, she obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree from the University of Victoria, British Columbia, and she is now a
PhD candidate in Philosophy of Media Arts, University of Wales College,
Newport, Wales (CAiiA: Centre for Advanced Inquiry in the Interactive Arts).
Trained as a painter and filmmaker, Char Davies became interested, as early
as 1985, in the potential of three-dimensional computer graphics for
furthering her artistic intentions.
A founding director of Softimage Inc., she was on its Board of
Directors from 1988 to 1994 and was Vice-President/Director of Visual
Research from 1988 to 1997. At Softimage, she developed the ground-breaking
exhibition Osmose (1995), which premiered at the Musee d*art contemporain de
Montreal, and has since toured to New York, London and Monterrey, Mexico.
Her earlier non-immersive works have also gained international recognition
through numerous exhibitions as well as prizes such as the Prix Ars
Electronica Distinction * Computer Graphics, Linz, Austria, 1993. Recently
she left Softimage to pursue her career independently.
As in all of Davies*s work, Ephemere is based on landscape as
metaphor, situating the participant in the midst of an enveloping ephemeral
world of imagery and sound. The virtual world*s appearance is linked to the
participant*s own behaviour. Interaction in Ephemere is based on the wearing
of a head-mounted display, and a vest which tracks breath and balance,
allowing the participant to float within the work by simply breathing: this
contemplative hands-free approach is highly unusual for VR. The central
experience of the work involves solitary immersion in a private chamber:
adjacent to this is a larger space where visitors can watch and listen to
the immersant*s journey as it takes place in real time, via a live
video/audio projection generated from the immersant*s point of view. They
can also watch a shadow silhouette of the immersant's body as he/she moves
in response to the work, a strategy which serves to emphasize the subjective
body*s role as experiential ground.
Ephemere was created with the assistance of John Harrison, custom
virtual reality software; Georges Mauro, computer graphics; Dorota
Blaszczak, sonic architecture & programming; Rick Bidlack, sound composition
& programming. The work was co-produced by Char Davies and Softimage Inc.
Due to the solitary nature of immersion in this work, a limited
number of participants can experience the work each day. The immersive
journeys of participants
can be viewed in real time, via projections in the installation at any time.
Reservations for immersion in the work can be made after 26 June
by calling 1- 613 991-6555
or by inquiring at the installation.
Through her art, Davies explores the unique potential of immersive
virtual space to change habitual ways of perceiving the world. For Davies,
the potential to make people more aware of their own embodied
*being-in-the-world* has many philosophical and environmental implications.
According to the artist, Ephemere is *concerned with the ephemerality of
being, in terms of our fragile, fleeting lifespans as mortal beings embedded
in a living, flowing world, among an unfathomable myriad of
comings-into-being, lingerings and passings-away, including our own.*
Ephemere, and its predecessor Osmose, are the fruits of many years
of research by Char Davies and her team into the artistic potential of
*virtual reality* using the SOFTIMAGE|3D modeling, animation and development
environment, and the Silicon Graphics (R) Onyx2 (TM) InfiniteReality (R)
visualization supercomputer, the most advanced real-time 3D computer
graphics technology available today. Char Davies* interest in the medium of
immersive virtual space is centred, in her words, *on its capacity as a
spatiotemporal arena, replete with paradox, wherein an artist*s mental
constructs of the world can be given virtual embodiment in three-dimensions
and be kinesthetically explored by participants through full-body immersion
and interaction, even while such constructs retain their ephemeral
immateriality*. Char Davies* work in immersive virtual reality is considered
worldwide to be among the most original to date.
A media preview will take place on Thursday 25 June from 2 to 4 pm
in Video Gallery B209. Jean Gagnon, Director of Programs, Fondation Daniel
Langlois, in Montreal, and former Curator of Media Arts, National Gallery of
Canada, has organized this exhibition. He will be available to answer
questions in the company of artist Char Davies and Janice Seline, Curator of
Media Arts, National Gallery of Canada.
This exhibition has received generous support from Immersense Inc.,
the Fondation Daniel Langlois/Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art, Science,
and Technology, Softimage Inc. and Silicon Graphics Inc.
Opening Event
On Friday 26 June at 5 pm in the Lecture Hall, Char Davies will
present a lecture entitled Osmose and Ephemere: Landscape, Body, Earth and
Time in Immersive Virtual Space. This will be followed at 6 pm by a viewing
of the work in Video Gallery B209 and a reception in the Upper Rotunda.
