[HvEXAS] ENDANGERED GUITAR w/Hans Tammen, Dafna Naphtali & Zachary Seldess

Just a reminder... this show is THIS FRIDAY at 7:30pm, and its a MUST for anyone into experimental guitar and electronics. 

The closest comparison to another artist I can come up with is Fred Frith (ex-Massacre/Material/Naked City/Henry Cow)
, but that doesn't really do justice to either of these amazing performers.

The bottom line is that this is a show absolutely NOT to be missed.  But then, I imagine I'm preaching to the choir here, so... I'll see all of you Friday night at the GE THEATRE @ PROCTORS (and please pass notice of this rare event on to any interested friends).

Tickets $16

SCREENING
Unfiction | Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait 
Friday, February 27, 8 PM

Over the course of a single match (Villareal vs. Real Madrid, April 2005), 17 film and video cameras captured every move — every step, every squint, every strike — of legendary footballer Zinedine Zidane. Directors Philippe Parreno and Douglas Gordon have used their documentation to create a modern portrait that is equal parts performance, athletic event and intensely personal reverie.

Via a surround mix of audio, viewers in EMPAC's Theater will be immersed in this poignant examination of the human condition of the athlete and of athlete as performer.

Set to a soundtrack by Scottish post-rock phenoms Mogwai, the filmmakers present a spectacular meditation on the joys of both physical virtuosity and spectatorship.

» More Information

For an additional treat, arrive early and grab a snack. For an hour before the screening, The Epicurean, will provide food and beverages for purchase in EMPAC's Evelyn's Cafe on both February 27 + March 6.

Zeroth Channel II 
Friday, March 6, 8 PM
 

Is listening to a recording of a bottle still listening to a bottle? What about a glacier? New works for multichannel sound diffusion by composers Doug Henderson (Berlin), Seth Cluett (Paris), and Natasha Barrett (Oslo) explore questions of where and how to locate what is "real" or "true" in the experience of audio works that begin with documentary, field recording.

[HvEXAS] Fwd: EMPAC DANCE MOViES Commission 2009-2010 Open Call for Proposals

Begin forwarded message:


EMPAC
EMPAC
EMPAC DANCE MOViES COMMISSION 2009-2010 
OPEN CALL FOR PROPOSALS: DEADLINE MAY 1 


In 2007, its inaugural year, EMPAC's DANCE MOViES Commission received more than 150 applications from dance-filmmakers in North and South America. The four films that resulted are currently touring in festivals in the US and abroad. As the first major US-based commissioning program available to dance-film artists in the Americas, the DANCE MOViES Commission represents an important opportunity for those working at the intersection of the moving body and the moving image. Selected artists receive awards ranging up to $50,000. 

EMPAC (the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) is now accepting proposals for its 2009-2010 commissions. The deadline for the proposals is May 1, 2009. 

This year, with the opening of the EMPAC building in the fall of 2008, artists may apply to create their DANCE MOViES works in conjunction with the Artist-in-Residence program at EMPAC.  Works commissioned may take advantage of EMPAC's spaces and technology, using infrastructure such as computer-controlled rigging or large-scale immersive studio environments. 

Backed by The Jaffe Fund for Experimental Media and Performing Arts, the DANCE MOViES Commission supports works for the screen including film, video, installation and other audio-visual formats. The works may be narrative in nature or abstract; they may range in length (up to 20 minutes); they will certainly vary in style, technique and expressive intent.

[HvEXAS] Fwd: MPBE#14 - FOR REALS!

Subject: MPBE#14 - FOR REALS!

Montague Phantom Brain Exchange #14 

Wednesday, February 25th, 9pm Five Bucks! 
at the Rendezvous 
78 3rd St 
Turners Falls, MA 01376 

Keith Fullerton Whitman 
Idea Fire Company 
lecture by Scott Foust 
DJ Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase 

read on: 

A delayed Fourteenth is like, so much better than no Fourteenth, and thus, everything good that was supposed to happen in January will happen in February.  Don't you wish you could relive your Fourteenth Burthday?  Well let's try again - amass the nervous energy & maximize our hormonal confusion for this second try at our first date of the new year.  Clear roads & sweaty palms ahead!   

Keith Fullerton Whitman is trekking Rte 2 from the frosted Eastern 
Ring of Massachusetts to present his basketfuls of sonic finery. 
Those of you familiar with the various shards of electronic dance 
musics at the turn of this century, might recall Whitman routinely 
eviscerating samples under the Hrvatski moniker.  These days his time 
is divided between maintaining the impressive Mimaroglu Music Sales 
webstore & composing/performing deftly articulated masterpieces of 
electro-acoustic music incorprating "elements from nearly every era: a 
reel-to-reel tape machine, a selection of small "jerry-rigged" / 
"circuit-bent" battery-powered sound-producing boxes, an analog 
modular synthesizer, an early "consumer" home-computer, and at the 
core; a contemporary computer running a custom-built max-msp based 
modular system that both controls these elements and acts as a central 
conduit into which their sounds are captured/collected, processed, 
then diffused to up to eight separate channels/speakers/amplifiers." 
If neither that spiel nor info from these links below stirs a boner, 
i'd suggest peeping the Mimaroglu site, as it is rich with 
cross-referenced detail and elevates record browsing to an educational 
experience. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Fullerton_Whitman 
http://www.myspace.com/keithfullertonwhitman 
http://www.mimaroglumusicsales.com/ 

Time bandits of minimal drone propagation, Idea Fire Company 
consistently strike detailed tableaux from the larger Anti-Naturals 
epic.  The core duo of Scott Foust & Carla Borecky have previously 
harnessed the robust talents of Meara O'Reilly, Jessi Swenson, Matt 
Krefting, Frans de Waard, Graham Lambkin, and Dr. Timothy Shortell. 
For this evening's performance, they will be joined by Son-of-Earther 
& Burroughs scholar Matt Krefting. 

As if 2009 couldn't get any better, IFCO founder Scott Foust has 
agreed to provide us with some context & deliver his lecture entitled 
"How to Make Your Life into an Art Object."  The perfect Phantom Brain 
Exchange material indeed!  After this, you will be able to define what 
is hyperbole & what is fact. 

But wait, "Who is Scott Foust?" you ask - this answer can be found on 
the Swill Radio site: "Visionary theorist, musician, composer, 
filmmaker, performance artist- Scott Foust is a true outsider artist. 
Unlike most outsider artists, who tend to be mystical crackpots or 
mental defectives (usually both), Foust has a clear world view 
grounded in reality. For three decades Foust, now 50, has pounded away 
at The Spectacle, employing a wide array of aesthetic approaches with 
no public or financial support. Foust's hermeneutics lie at the 
strange crossroads between Guy Debord and Oscar Wilde. If Foust's 
ideas seem idealistic and impractical at first, it is only because 
being against power and for beauty is always idealistic and 
impractical. His Swill Radio record label, founded in 1983, has 
released not only his own work, but LPs by The Shadow Ring, Asmus 
Tietchens, and Ralf Wehowsky among others. His longest running musical 
project, Idea Fire Company (founded with long time associate Karla 
Borecky in 1988) - while not having the bloated catalog of many 
contemporary bands - produced three of the finest, if still unknown 
LPs of the last decade: Anti-Natural, Stranded, and The Island Of 
Taste. In 1997 Foust along with Borecky and Dr. Timothy Shortell 
founded the Anti-Naturals, an art and theory group which has few but 
dedicated members worldwide."  Can somebody on this list write his 
Wikipedia entry? 
http://www.anti-naturals.org/swill/ 

Lastly and thoroughly, DJ Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase (aka Chris Cooper) 
will be slingin' vinyl from his vast stacks.  Another highly 
knowledgeable dude with a taste for the obtuse, obscure, & opulent, 
your ears will be rewarded  with his selections. 

Also for 2009, the MPBE is stepping up to provide an informative 
program with admission to each event, whereby a handy two-sided, 
single piece of 11x17 b/w photocopied paper will be utilized.   please 
consider submitting material:  collaged scraps, drawings, comics, 
cutups, weather reports, seed calendars, musical scores, maps, 
diagrams, photos, catalogs, advertisements, dj playlists, hotlinks, 
armor designs, information relevant to that evening's proceedings, 
book/record/film reviews, advice, venetian blinds, plastic hamburgers, 
stereo cassette decks, gardening tips, facebook profiles, bold new 
initiatives, power grid schemata, fashion advice, clockwork manuals, 
and shapeshifter accounts. submission are accepted via post, email, or 
at the event. 
<kayleen AT suchfun.net> or MPBE c/o Yeay! pobox7 turners falls, ma 01376 usa. 

Montague Phantom Brain Exchange is a place where bodied & disembodied 
brains & nonbrains can safely gather to deconstruct solutions & create 
problems while soaking in an envigorating bath of provocative 
entertainments. Last wednesday of every month, 9pm to midnight, at the 
Rendezvous (bar with food!) 78 3rd St Turners Falls, MA. A typical 
evening will include 2 - 3 performing acts, a 15 minute lecture and a 
DJ.

LECTURE
In a Glass Hour | Johannes Goebel
Tuesday, February 17, 7 PM
Free + Open to the Public

In this talk, music will serve as a projection screen to reflect thoughts on time. Music is, quite obviously, not language (even though there are many who say music is the universal language). Sound moves differently in time than pictures or touch. A printed book evolves differently in time when we read it than a piece of music when we listen to it. A film can be fast-forwarded differently than a piece of music. Music in Western culture has dealt with time and rhythm differently than music of other cultures. The Western notation of music in conjunction with the development of clocks influenced how we think and feel time. Time became mechanized, and now computers are lost without their clock. The assumption that time, as we see it governing our lives, allows us to structure future, present and past (in that order) is a political tool, for better and worse.

Didn't Michael Jackson take Bubbles to a prom? Did Elizabeth Taylor
dip Petticoat Junction? Is this Moonwalk I keep hearing about the
official "walk" yet? I have questions. Many questions. Potentially
disturbing questions. There are a few things I do not question,
though: The sun will come up tomorrow, Annie, you potentially had a
freaking blast seeing a dialed up facsimile of Michael Jackson last
week, the prom is the best night of your life, and Tittsworth is the
freaking belle of the ball. Every ball. In particular, this ball. I
have a ball! I'm done. So get gussied up, grab a floozy, and head on
out to Rev. Hall on Valentine's Day for all of your prom themed fun.
Drink specials! Lady's Choice Dances! Prom photo booth! A king and
queen that almost certainly did not win said titles through some
rigging of the system! I cannot put enough exclamation points in this
sentence to adequately state the raw moussed up hotness that will be
this evening - so roll up and make a word or two yourself.

Unfiction | Les Glaneurs et la glaneuse (The Gleaners and I) 
Tuesday, February 10, 7 PM
Director: Agnés Varda

Departing from Les Glaneuses, Jean-Francois Millet's celebrated 1867 portrait of women picking through a harvested wheat field, French filmmaker Agnés Varda constructs a moving and thoughtful visual essay on the concept and lifestyle of "gleaning," or scavenging, once ubiquitous in rural 19th-century France. Varda's film is both a social documentary and a frank and personal rumination on the experience of marginalization. By focusing on the overlooked, an open view emerges of our own attitudes towards usefulness, aging, decay and the discarded.

The intrepid septuagenarian filmmaker embarks on a road trip to find France's contemporary gleaners – young vandalizers, trash artists, a former truck driver – all the while commenting on what she sees with her compassion and wry humor. Varda sees herself is a gleaner of images, objects, people, thoughts. As she travels through this "wandering-road-documentary", gathering the film's images, she collects heart-shaped potatoes that would otherwise be tossed or a silent broken clock that ends up on her mantle.

Sound moves differently in time than pictures or touch. A printed book evolves differently in time when we read it than a piece of music when we listen to it. A film can be fast-forwarded differently than a piece of music. 

Music in Western culture has dealt with time and rhythm differently than music of other cultures. The Western notation of music in conjunction with the development of clocks influenced how we think and feel time. Time became mechanized, and now computers are lost without their clock. The assumption that time, as we see it governing our lives, allows us to structure future, present and past (in that order) is a political tool, for better and worse.

words:

Didn't Michael Jackson take Bubbles to a prom? Did Elizabeth Taylor
dip Petticoat Junction? Is this Moonwalk I keep hearing about the
official "walk" yet? I have questions. Many questions. Potentially
disturbing questions. There are a few things I do not question,
though: The sun will come up tomorrow, Annie, you potentially had a
freaking blast seeing a dialed up facsimile of Michael Jackson last
week, the prom is the best night of your life, and Tittsworth is the
freaking belle of the ball. Every ball. In particular, this ball. I
have a ball! I'm done. So get gussied up, grab a floozy, and head on
out to Rev. Hall on Valentine's Day for all of your prom themed fun.
Drink specials! Lady's Choice Dances! Prom photo booth! A king and
queen that almost certainly did not win said titles through some
rigging of the system! I cannot put enough exclamation points in this
sentence to adequately state the raw moussed up hotness that will be
this evening - so roll up and make a word or two yourself.
