I'm excited to present a concert at EMPAC, one of the world's foremost performance venues, located on the campus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.  The first half of the concert will feature solo contrabass, as well as a new sound & video piece by rise set twilight, my duo with Linda Aubry.  The second half of the evening will be all about The BSC with our very special guest, Pauline Oliveros (accordion).  The BSC is a large improvising ensemble from Massachusetts: Bhob Rainey (soprano saxophone/leader), Mike Bullock (contrabass), James Coleman (theremin), Chris Cooper (guitar), Greg Kelley (trumpet), Vic Rawlings (cello, electronics), and Liz Tonne (voice).  Howard Stelzer will be unavailable for this performance but will be there in spirit, playing invisible tapes.

[HvEXAS] EMPAC | March 24 - April 2 | Frédéric Bevilacqua | Tere O'Connor


EMPAC
EMPAC
LECTURE/DEMONSTRATION
Frédéric Bevilacqua 
Tuesday March 24, 7 PM
Free + Open to the Public

Frédéric Bevilacqua, leader of the Real Time Musical Interactions team at IRCAM — the Paris-based Institute for Music/Acoustic Research and Coordination — will share his current research in gesture analysis and software development, including real-time demonstrations of potential applications in music and dance.

Bevilacqua and his colleagues are working on new paradigms for music performance and the interaction between gesture and sound/video processes. His most recent research involves the development of augmented musical instruments such as the "augmented violin," gesture analysis for performing arts, and applications in music pedagogy.

» More Information 


PERFORMANCE
Tere O'Connor: Rammed Earth 
Thursday, March 26, 8 PM
Friday, March 27, 8 PM
Saturday, March 28, 5 + 8 PM

$5/$10/$15 

In Rammed Earth, Tere O'Connor interweaves dancers, audience and the space they share. Inspired by 'sentient architecture' - in which structures change form in response to temperature, climate or human interactivity - the performance is adapted for each venue. Audience members are incorporated into the expanding, contracting, liquid space of the work as they are escorted into different viewing positions throughout. The four performers create an intimate and shifting environment around and among them, layering motion, gesture and emotion. Space is limited so reserve now!

Rammed Earth is funded by New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project (NDP), with generous support by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the MetLife Community Connections Fund of the MetLife Foundation.

[HvEXAS] Freaky local films & LET THE RIGHT ONE IN @ Proctors

First of all, if you have made a freaky short film (horror, sci fi, or just plain bizarre), and can afford the $25 submission fee, please consider submitting it for a possible screening at this April 23rd event at Proctors in Schenectady. You will find submission info at this address: http://ItCameFromSchenectady.com

And, of course, if you are merely an interested voyeur, here's the festival info:

It Came From Schenectady presents
LET THE RIGHT ONE IN and FREAKY 518 FILMS

This film festival will feature the award winning Swedish vampire film LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (2008), while also presenting locally produced horror, SciFi or outright bizarre films. Prizes, guests, games, shorts, trailers and other assorted craziness will all be part of the event. Starting time is 6 pm and the festival will end at Midnight. Let The Right One will be presented at 8pm.

LET THE RIGHT ONE IN tells the story of a pale, bullied 12 year-old boy who develops an unusual friendship with a brooding young girl with a thirst for blood. The film received widespread international critical acclaim and won numerous awards, including the "Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature" at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival and the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation's 2008 Méliès d'Or (Golden Méliès) for the "Best European Fantastic Feature Film".

[HvEXAS] Reminder! EMPAC | Unfiction on Safari | Thursday, March 19, 7 PM

It is a busy weekend here at EMPAC - hope to see you at some / all of these...


EMPAC
EMPAC
Unfiction on Safari 
Thursday, March 19, 7 PM
$5

A collection of three films: Olaf Breuning's Home 2, Sascha Paladino's Throw Down Your Heart with Bela Fleck; and Coco Fusco and Guillermo Gomez-Peña's The Couple in the Cage, together, present a complex terrain of intention and action surrounding tourism, cultural interchange, appropriation, and hybridity. Unfiction is not going "on safari" — but using the idea of safari as a way to look at the site of intercultural one-way mirroring: where the viewer seems not to understand the exchange as being visible to both parties involved along the same human lines.

In their own way, each film illuminates an aspect of this exchange, one that becomes increasingly important to examine as we hurtle towards ever-greater globalization.

What is the Safari of the 21st Century and how will we know when we are on it, or discover that we are the "savages" within it?

Catherine Sullivan with Sean Griffin: Triangle of Need, The Chittendens & D-Pattern 
Friday, March 20 - Sunday, March 29 
Free + Open to the Public

As part of Sean Griffin's second residency, EMPAC presents three video installations that cover the past six years of his integral collaboration with the artist Catherine Sullivan. Sullivan's work comes out of theater, but has become primarily realized as multi-screen video installation with Griffin scoring and collaborating on the overall aurality of the work, in one case even authoring a pseudo-Neanderthal language used throughout Triangle of Need.

Opening: Friday, March 20th, 7 - 10 PM

Walkthrough with Sean Griffin: Saturday March 21st, 1 PM

Exhibition open daily:

Friday, March 20: 7pm - 10 PM

WORKSHOP + PERFORMANCE
Johannes Goebel: Wandering between the Worlds 
Saturday, March 21, 3 PM Workshop + 7 PM Concert
One ticket gets you into both workshop and concert!
$15/$10/$5
 

EMPAC can be seen as a big instrument that bridges the world we can see, hear, touch and move around in, the world we can experience, and the intangible realm of digital computers that can only become meaningful when it is connected to our experience through sound, light, images, movement or anything our senses can perceive.

While in the Old World, Johannes Goebel built non-traditional instruments out of wood, metal and plastic; when in the New World, he programmed instruments in digital code. (For a few decades he also played music on ready-mades like pots and pans, scrap-metal and radios, wrenches, defunct pianos and garden hoses.)
