Bryan Eubanks (electronics) - Brooklyn
Mike Bullock (contrabass, electronics) - Troy

Albany, NY

About the musicians:

Bryan Eubanks lives in Brooklyn and Andrew Lafkas lives in Queens.  Individually and together they have been presenting concerts, producing recordings, and helping to nurture New York City's growing underground improvised-music scene..  
 
Vic Rawlings (prepared amplified cello, surface electronics) is active in the Boston improvised music community. His performances focus on the metamusical potential of unstable sounds and silences. He is an instrument builder specializing in modifications of existing instruments. In addition to his extensive cello preparations, he continually develops an electronic instrument from extant analog circuitry, producing, in effect, an analog synthesizer with a highly unstable interface.
 
He performs regularly as a soloist and as a member of undr quartet, The BSC, and in duo and trio ensembles with Michael Bullock, Greg Kelley, Bhob Rainey, Sean Meehan, Jason Lescalleet, James Coleman, Tatsuya Nakatani, and Howard Stelzer. Collaborators have included Eddie Prevost (AMM), Donald Miller (Borbetomagus) , Daniel Carter (Other Dimensions in Music), Laurence Cook, Jaap Blonk, Masashi Harada, and Stephen Drury.
 
Rawlings appears on the record labels Audio Dispatch, Grob, Sedimental, Emanem, Boxmedia, Chloe, Absurd, and Rykodisc. He has performed as a soloist/ composer with Nicola Hawkins Dance Company and has composed scores for films by Alla Kovgan and Jeff Silva. He has toured throughout the US and in France.

Michael T. Bullock is a composer, sound artist and visual artist based in Troy NY. The range of his work includes contrabass, banjo, video instrumentalism, and illustration. Bullock performs across the entire US and in Europe, collaborating with a huge range of artists, including Pauline Oliveros, Christian Wolff, Steve Roden, Bhob Rainey and Greg Kelley of nmperign, Mazen Kerbaj and Theodore Bikel.
His groundbreaking solo contrabass playing has brought him to medieval chapels and the side of a mountain. Bullock also performs with the BSC, an octet of Boston-based improvisers; as the trio MAWJA with Kerbaj and Vic Rawlings; and in the multidisciplinary duo rise set twilight.
 
Bullock is the founder of Chloë Recordings. He currently pursues a doctorate in the Arts Department at RPI in Troy, where he researches noise, feedback, and non-idiomatic music cultures. Bullock also curates concerts with the Albany Sonic Arts Collective.

[HvEXAS] REMINDER: the official unofficial troy night out afterparty | fri. 08/29 from 9 pm to 3 am | rev. hall, troy, ny

Snag a copy of this week's Metroland to read up on Charlie Everywhere

will be a quiz on the matter:

See you there.

The Official Unofficial Troy Night Out Afterparty
(presented by Goodship & Revolution Hall)

Friday, August 29, 2008
9 pm to 3 am
Revolution Hall
425 River Street, Troy, New York, 12180
$5 / got to be 18 to get in (ID required)

Goodship, purveyors of the raw unbleached whole grain hotness for
quite some time now, are making all the way around the bases with
this one. Yeah yeah yeah: you know we are bringing our usual awesome
stable of trix, and then beefing it up with McGillicuddy and We Are
Architects, but then our cup freaking runneth over with the dual
attack of Charlie Everywhere and BEWARE! The Other Head of Science.
Maybe you have heard of them from a little thing I like to call "my
well-earned hyperbole that is in this very message you are reading
right now and thus not necessarily an outside reference", and you
know said tome always leads you the opposite of astray. Tomorrow, we
may die (or, to be more realistic and way less depressing, probably
sleep in too late and watch "Sister Act" on Oxygen... again), but
tonight, we live! See you at the madcap, good + plenty.

sound (times subject to change - what with time travel and relativity
and so forth):

9 pm - McGillicuddy (hula hooping her sounds straight down to your toes)

10 pm - BEWARE! The Other Head of Science (some caps + an exclamation
point? it is on, my friend)
10:30 pm - Charlie Everywhere (everywhere, as in "everywhere you want
to be, vladimir")

11:30 pm - We Are Architects (... and we are impressed by what you
are constructing)
12:15 am - jenkins (the honus wagner of this crew)
1:15 am - back from japan (the ruth buzzi of this crew)

vision:

blar (ya got moxie, kid)
color commentary (some assembly acquired)
skfl (pitchshifting from irrelevance to super irrelevance & back
again w/ a stop right about here)

September 2008 Release

NOAH CRESHEVSKY / IF, BWANA
FAVORITE ENCORES
(Pogus 21049-2)
UPC: 760342104926

" ŠCreshevsky's music is cosmopolitan and streetwise post-modern
expressionŠI do not exaggerate when I say that I have never heard anything
like Creshevsky's music beforeŠIf you're up for an aural adventure, here's
your ticket." (Josh Mailman, American Record Guide)

"ŠIf, Bwana is some sort of evil genius working with raw materials which are
never adapted to a genre or a context, because they create one in that very
moment. Those sources are radically altered up to an utterly unrecognizable
state, anarchic manifestations moving in compact determination." (Massimo
Ricci, Touching Extremes)

A split cd of works by Noah Creshevsky (4 tracks) and If, Bwana (3 tracks).
While on the face of it this may seem a somewhat odd pairing, the pieces
recorded here comment on and highlight each other. And as the above quotes
suggest, an aural adventure is indeed in the offing.

Trained in composition by Nadia Boulanger in Paris and Luciano Berio at
Juilliard, Noah Creshevsky has taught at Juilliard, Princeton University,
and Brooklyn College. He was director of the Center for Computer Music
(1994-2000) and is currently Professor Emeritus at Brooklyn College of the
City University of New York. His musical vocabulary consists largely of
familiar bits of words, songs, and instrumental music that are edited but
rarely subjected to electronic processing. The result is a music that
obscures the boundaries of real and imaginary ensembles though the fusion of
opposites: music and noise, comprehensible and incomprehensible vocal
sources, human and superhuman vocal and instrumental capacities.
Creshevsky's most recent hyperrealist compositions explore the fragmentation
and reconstruction of pre-existing music in combination with original
synthetic and acoustic materials. Moments suggest musical environments of
indeterminate ethnicity--simultaneously Western and non-Western, ancient and
modern, familiar and unfamiliar.

Hyperrealism is an electroacoustic musical language constructed from sounds
that are recognizable parts of our shared environment ("realism"), handled
in ways that are exaggerated or excessive ("hyper"). Hyperrealist music
exists in two basic genres. The first uses the sounds of traditional
instruments that are pushed beyond the capacities of human performers in
order to create superperformers--hypothetical virtuosos who transcend the
limitations of individual performance capabilities (e.g., Mari Kimura Redux,
Intrada, Favorite Encores). Hyperrealism of the second genre aims to
integrate vast and diverse sonic elements to produce an expressive and
versatile musical language. Its vocabulary is an inclusive, limitless sonic
compendium, free of ethnic and national particularity (e.g., Shadow of a
Doubt). Hyperrealism celebrates bounty, either by the extravagant treatment
of limited sound palettes or by the assembling and manipulating of
substantially extended palettes.

Al Margolis has been working under the musical pseudonym If, Bwana since New
Year's Day 1984. There are often collaborators in this project‹both
knowingly and unknowingly. Both are represented on this recording. Xyloxings
was a concept-based work that in the end had the concept discarded for
compositional considerations. Lisa Barnard's vocals were recorded with her
direct knowledge. Scraping Scrafide uses a portion of Tony Scafide's piano
part from a prior work of mine‹3 Out of 4 Ain't Bad‹and processes it. Cicada
#4: Barnard Mix is part of my "discipline" series‹an open set of works‹and
uses Barnard's vocals from other sessions to create one of many possible
versions of this work.

[HvEXAS] FRIDAY :: Bitter:Sweet @ Revolution Hall :: $2 off ticket and first drink free w/ email print-out!

Hey all,

Jared over at Rev Hall (the same one who makes the TNO afterparty possible) knows that I'm into this band, and thought if I was into it, maybe other "Goodship" folk would be into it as well.  SO, he said I could send out a special offer for the people I love to spam once a month with the TNO info.  :)

Print out this email, bring it to Rev Hall Friday night, and you'll get in for $2 off and he'll buy your first drink.  I'm guessing he said something about what kind of drink, but I can't recall, so see what you can get out of him!  (probably a porkslap, but damn are those orange cans good...)



Here is the full info.  Definitely check their myspace. Also, I hear great things about the Red Lions.

Friday, August 8th

VIP Lounge is Available

Bitter:Sweet

Millions of people have heard the infectious tunes of Bitter:Sweet via their debut album The Mating Game, as one of their many friends on MySpace, or in their favorite movies and TV shows. 

Since coming on the scene last year with their debut album, Bitter:Sweet has received a plethora of accolades from the press including The Los Angeles Times who claimed The Mating Game as "perhaps the best album of its kind since Portishead's 'Dummy' was released more than a decade ago" and URB magazine who called the album, "delicious." 

Bitter:Sweet's trademark sound is an intoxicating blend of Shana Halligan's melodically sweet-and-sexy vocals paired with the duos sassy genre-bending production work. In 2000, Kiran emerged on the scene as a founding member of The Supreme Beings of Leisure. Signed to Chris Blackwell's Palm Pictures, the band sold over a quarter million records worldwide. Shana is, of course, no stranger to the music industry. She has been a respected part of the Los Angeles music scene her whole life and grew-up in a household with father, Dick Halligan (Blood, Sweat & Tears). Together, Kiran and Shana have created Bitter:Sweet, one of the most seductive interpretations of retro swank and hot beats since James Bond was Sean Connery.

Oh and mark your calendars for the TNO afterparty this month, it's got diamonds on the soles of it's shoes.
