[HvEXAS] REMINDER! Annie Dorsen: Hello Hi There | Sat. 02/18, 8 PM | EMPAC, Troy, NY

http://www.facebook.com/events/181883528583598/
PERFORMANCE 
Annie Dorsen: Hello Hi There 
Saturday, February 18, 2012, 8 PM 
EMPAC Studio 1 – Goodman
Troy, NY
$18 general admission / $13 non-Rensselaer students, seniors, and Rensselaer faculty + staff / $6 Rensselaer students


What happens when you place two chatbot programs in conversation? What might they have to say about age-old philosophical questions? In Hello Hi There, Obie Award-winning director and writer Annie Dorsen poses these questions by staging two chatbots as live performers, reflecting on the issues of language, creativity, and political power raised in an infamous television debate between philosopher Michel Foucault and linguist Noam Chomsky in 1971. Each conversation between the chatbots forges a unique path, resulting in an unexpected and humorous meditation on what separates humans from machines.

Prior to Annie Dorsen's performance, there is a FREE screening of the original, lively 60-minute debate between Foucault and Chomsky cinema-style (including all the movie snacks you can eat!) in EMPAC's Studio Beta at 6 PM.

* Clips from Hello Hi Therehttp://youtu.be/3PiwEQQNnBk

* Transcript of the Foucault/Chomsky 1971 debate: http://www.chomsky.info/debates/1971xxxx.htm

Obie Award-winning director and writer Annie Dorsen works in theater, film, dance, and digital performance. She is co-creator and director of the 2008 Broadway musical Passing Strange, which Spike Lee subsequently made into a film. In 2010, she collaborated with choreographer Anne Juren on Magical and with Juren and DD Dorvillier on Pièce Sans Paroles. In 2009, she created two music theater pieces, Ask Your Mama and ETHEL's TruckStop. She is a graduate of the Yale School of Drama.

Evelyn's Café will open at 7 PM with a full menu of meals, snacks, and beverages as well as a selection of wines - service continues after the performance. Parking is available in the Rensselaer parking lot on College Avenue.

Additional event information can be found on the EMPAC website: http://empac.rpi.edu/. Questions? Call the EMPAC Box Office: 518.276.3921.

[HvEXAS] TONIGHT! Lucky Dragons: Actual Reality | Wed. 02/15, 8 PM | EMPAC, Troy, NY

PERFORMANCE
Lucky Dragons: Actual Reality
Wednesday, February 15, 8 PM
Studio 1 – Goodman
EMPAC, Troy, NY
$18 general admission / $13 non-Rensselaer students, seniors, and Rensselaer faculty + staff / $6 Rensselaer students


Using an archive of Internet searches for the phrase "actual reality" as raw data for this process, acoustic sounds of musicians (and the audience) are analyzed and resynthesized in real-time and then presented back for reply, creating a call and response. Along with the "real" performance, collected source material—video and audio from previous performances, rehearsals, and incidental audio—is processed and layered on top, creating an endless loop of what is and what has been.

Lucky Dragons is a Los Angeles-based experimental music group, and includes any recorded, performed, installed, packaged, shared, suggested or imagined pieces made by Luke Fischbeck, Sarah Rara, and/or any occasional collaborators that claim the name. Fischbeck and Rara have presented interactive performances and installations at MOCA Los Angeles, the Smell, Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Whitney Museum of American Art (as part of the 2008 Whitney Biennial), the Kitchen and PS1 in New York, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, REDCAT and LACMA in Los Angeles, Frankfurt's Schirn Kunsthalle, ICA London, ICA Philadelphia, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Evelyn's Café will open at 7 PM with a full menu of meals, snacks, and beverages as well as a selection of wines - service continues during and after the performance. Parking is available in the Rensselaer parking lot on College Avenue.

Additional event information can be found on the EMPAC website: http://empac.rpi.edu/. Questions? Call the EMPAC Box Office: 518.276.3921.

[HvEXAS] Fwd: Forcefeel- Almost Lost/Barely Found on Remissive Records

 


The debut albums by Forcefeel and the debut releases from Remissive Records

Forcefeel
Almost Lost
Barely Found

(Remissive Records 001-2012)

Almost Lost and Barely Found were culled from a massive library of unreleased material recorded over the past decade, including one piece, "Maggot Grains", whose scum atmospherics are grouted by cassette grime created when the artist was a mere adolescent.

Forcefeel is a musician whose various rumblings played a minor role in the upstate New York and Philadelphia noise scenes. As one half of the duo m0dnAr, Forcefeel made damaged experimental synthpop whose careful prerecorded arrangements were complimented by an often frenzied and histrionic live show that brought performance art and visual thought pieces to roller rinks and coffee shops. As a member of the "spacedelic" outfit Lunch With Beardo, he went in the opposite direction- anonymous and collective-oriented improv that could maneuver between delicate drips of icy desolation and monolithic bursts of room-filling noise. During this time, he continued to develop, performing eclectic electronic sets as Autocratic Forcefeed and releasing a few conceptual tapes on FDH Records which proved largely unrepresentative of his overall sound range.

Almost Lost and Barely Found are the first recorded works we've heard from Forcefeel since 2007. Of the two, Almost Lost is the core release, a dark and dynamic opus of violent outbursts, sustained dread, malfunctioning sputters, and droning disarray. From the toxic haze of "Clean Air Act" to the cavernous hollows of "Alive", Almost Lost is intoxicated by unease, as if lurking in the liminal space between recognition and obscurity. Composed of a kitchen sink assortment of found and forged sounds including Philadelphia city street noise, sleep moaning, Israeli TV snippets, relaxation tapes, and, in the case of "Requisition for a Dream", CD-Rs designed to skip by intentional scarification, the fractional pieces on Almost Lost nonetheless sound like they were meant to be alongside one another.

Download Almost Lost: http://www.mediafire.com/?xyz629qfhzamvbg

Compared to Almost Lost, Barely Found is practically an afterthought. The tracks on this release are works that for years sounded incomplete, but now seem to be saying more by their absences (lacking both tonality and any sense of compositional control) than they might have had they been further fleshed out. Unlike the raw nerve endings on Almost Lost, the songs of Barely Found are skeletal and numb, all emotion ripped out to reveal an abstract, recondite, ghostly frame. The more purely tactile companion to Almost Lost, Barely Found is what happens when you come back from being completely lost, when all that's left is unrecognizable and who you were before you disappeared is irretrievable.

Download Barely Found: http://www.mediafire.com/?ve7247diva12cbp


As simply the tip of Forcefeel's vault, these two releases will be followed by several more in the months to come of 2012, which promise to deviate wildly from the prototype set forth here.
