The Troy Night Out Afterparty – 2012 Edition
Friday March 30th, 2012

Check out the Facebook event:

Recent studies show not all DJ's are the same. This TNO is a perfect example of that. Il-young and Properly Chill are having a secret battle over who can play the most eclectic jam (secret, as in, I haven't told them). Not to be out-done, Scooby will play a set using all triangles and woodblocks. Plus free trips to the sweat lodge.

9:00 Il-young
10:30 Properly Chilled
12:00 Scooby
(times are estimated…)


As always this party is FREE

[HvEXAS] Peter Edwards + Sabisha Friedberg: The Hant Variance | Wed. 04/04, 8:30 PM | EMPAC, Troy, NY

WORK IN PROGRESS
Peter Edwards + Sabisha Friedberg: The Hant Variance
Wednesday, April 4, 8:30 PM
EMPAC Studio 1 - Goodman
Troy, NY
FREE


A work in progress performance as part of a residency in which Pete Edwards (Casper Electronics, Troy, NY) and Sabisha Friedberg develop a composition influenced by the audience's movement through space.
 
Using array of loudspeakers distributed in three-dimensional space throughout Studio 1 - Goodman, they explore how frequency waves interact with one another and physical bodies, canceling each other out or making sounds audible. Edwards and Friedberg will be controlling the piece from stations in the center of the room, reacting to the sonic environment created around them.
 
The score is inspired by various scientific and metaphysical sources, including the writings of Vic Tandy, which suggest that certain sonic equations yield supernatural experiences. This exploration of the aural and the physical—informed scientifically, logistically and intuitively—will be the basis of this experiential 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.
