| Jon Rose (Australia) |
Friday 5
|
In 1987 Jon Rose brought the interactive
MIDI violin bow into the world; since then there have been three more prototypes
of bow powered digital systems using ultra sound, accelerometers, bow pressure
sensors, etc.; the latest development in this technology is Keith McMillan's K-bow,
and, in a rare New York performance, Jon will use this brand new bow and his considerable
virtuosity on the tenor violin in a new surround sound, multi-media work - P A
L I M P O L I N; for everything radical on, about, and with violins, strings,
and fences jonroseweb.com
Bolsa Ernesto de Sousa, a memorial fellowship named for the Portuguese Intermedia
Artist, sponsored by the Luso-Americana Foundation and the Fundacao Calouste Gulbenkian,
in Lisbon, coordinated by Isabel Alves, presents an intermedia performance: |
| Sergio Cruz (Portugal /England)
|
Tuesday 16 |
Drawing on notions of difference,
diversity, pluralism and even hybridism as inherent to contemporary cities, Cruz
will present "United", a multiple screen film installation (triptych
in loop) made through the re-processing of existing footage from his residencies
in New York (USA 2009), Maputo (Mozambique 2008) and Beijing (China 2007)

Cluett (USA) |
Thursday 18 |
|
will present a new long-form sound work: 'forms of forgetting;'
the culmination of a series of performances over the last year, it explores
the role of in-attention and re-attending in listening; using found objects,
altered consumer electronics, home-made instruments, sine tone oscillators,
the acoustics of the space and a host of psycho-physical phenomena, this new
work aims to construct a focused, attentive perceptual space and an elastic,
malleable experience of time onelonelypixel.org

Jones (Baltimore) and Richard Garet (New York City) |
Friday 19 |
will create an evolving, undulating,
shifting terrain of live video, text, voice, and electronic sounds; the performance
will combine both improvised collaboration as well as areas guided by the video
and/or text projections; the project explores the creation of environments that
explore the real and artificial / the material and ephemeral - in effect, short
circuiting the senses

| Tom
Johnson (Paris) |
Tuesday 23 |
|
He was one of the first composers to present his work
at the EI loft; his now well known "Nine Bells" was premiered there,
as were some of the first examples of his "counting music" series,
the lectures with audience participation, and other things; after 15 years in
New York, he left the big apple and the Village Voice and settled in Europe,
where he has continued writing operas and radio pieces, and where his pure music
has become more and more mathematical; the evening will include "Music
and Questions" (1988), excerpts from very recent pieces, and probably,
for old times sake, the "Lecture with Repetition" (1975) tom.johnson.org

| Ignaz Schick and Margareth Kammerer (Berlin)
|
Wednesday 24 |
Two solo sets and one collaborative
set: Kammerer - electric guitar and voice and Schick: turntables; Kammerer workfield
is the song : in her solo she will present a selection of them where she investigates
the sound of the voice in different languages and songforms in combination with
minimalistic melodies and texts; Schick plays turntables without vinyls creating
a vast palette of sounds by only using objects directly on the metal plate of
the turntable; he calls the set-up "Rotating Surfaces"; the friction
sounds are simply amplified with a condenser microphone; various objects (wood,
plastic, metal) create rich textures from tonal drones to thick layers of harsh
noise and are sometimes sampled and slightly pitched in realtime; in their duo,
they explore the creation of a sound form combining both improvised and composed
material, with electroacoustic soundscapes and songs zangimusic.de
