Another Tag-Team Night!

9:30(ish) McGillicuddy + il-young
12:00 Ryan Kick + Jay Balance

Apologies for the lateness, we had some last minute changes in the lineup, but everything worked out. We decided to go with another Tag Team DJ Night (maybe we'll make it a theme for the summer?). In addition to the always amazing collabo of Ryan Kick and Jay Balance, we teamed up TNO veteran McGillicuddy with TNO newcomer il-young to get the night started.

What can I say about this. First, I miss skfl. That dude could write a paragraph. Second, we've got 4 all-around party DJ's tonight. Any of them could rock the entire night on their own and keep you dancing. So if you think about it, it's like 4 parties happening inside one party; our own little multiverse. That's how much we love you. We don't just bring you fun, we bring you multiple universes.

And we bring them for Free!! (but encourage you to tip your bartender)

See you there!

(and for those at Beaux Arts two weeks ago, Mcgillicuddy was the one keeping you dancing!)

[HvEXAS] TONIGHT! Oliveros at 80 concert | Thurs. 05/10, 7:30 PM | FREE | EMPAC, Troy, NY

PERFORMANCE

Pauline Oliveros: Oliveros at 80
Thursday, May 10, 2012, 7:30 PM
EMPAC Concert Hall
Troy, NY

FREE
http://empac.rpi.edu/events/2012/spring/oliveros

Join us for a celebration of musician, composer, and Rensselaer Arts Department faculty member Pauline Oliveros on the occasion of her 80th birthday. Presented in collaboration with the Rensselaer Arts Department, this free concert will feature a reception with nine birthday cakes and the opportunity to support Oliveros' venerable Deep Listening Institute. Every member of the audience will receive a free copy of the hot-off-the-presses DVD with the video of the joint concert by Oliveros and Cecil Taylor at the opening festival of EMPAC in 2008.

 
One of the highlights of this concert is an acoustic simulation of the Fort Worden Cistern—a two-million-gallon underground water tank made famous by Oliveros' 1988 Deep Listening album and recreated by Jonas Braasch, professor in Rensselaer's Architectural Acoustics program. It will empower EMPAC's concert hall to sound like the cistern with its 45 seconds of reverberation. Guests are invited to listen to the process of tuning the concert hall in the afternoon from 11:30 AM to 2 PM as Jonas Braasch and Pauline Oliveros prepare for the evening performance.

Pauline Oliveros' life as a composer, performer, and humanitarian is about opening her own and others' senses to the many facets of sound. Since the 1960s, she has profoundly influenced American music through her work with improvisation, meditation, electronic music, myth, and ritual. All of Oliveros' work emphasizes musicianship, attention strategies, and improvisational skills. Many credit her with being the founder of present day meditative music, and she has been celebrated worldwide. Sounding the Margins, a forty-year retrospective, will be released soon in a six CD boxed set from Deep Listening.

Evelyn's Café will open at 6:30 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.

[HvEXAS] musikFabrik | Sun. 05/13, 6 PM | FREE | EMPAC Concert Hall, Troy, NY

PERFORMANCE

musikFabrik

Troy, NY

"What could a musikFabrik (music factory) be?" When asked this question, a young child answered, "That's where they create music that hasn't been made yet." Ensemble musikFabrik has been commissioning new works and performing unknown music since 1991. The Cologne-based soloist ensemble plays more than 100 international concerts each year, and has built a close association with prominent conductors and composers.
 
musikFabrik comes to EMPAC after a Fromm Foundation residency at Harvard University, where they will collaborate with PhD composition students in performing their latest works. The ensemble will select two pieces from the Harvard premiere to perform, providing a unique opportunity to hear what these young composers currently are up to.
 
Setting the context for these new pieces are John Cage's Concert for Piano and Orchestra; Interference by British composer Richard Barrett, a piece for contrabass clarinet and kick-drum; and the colorful chamber music piece Paramirabo by Canadian composer Claude Vivier.
 
This is concert presented with support from the Goethe-Institut New York.
 
Cologne-based musikFabrik is a leading contemporary music ensemble dedicated to artistic innovation. New, unknown, unusual, and often personally commissioned works are typical of their productions. They perform in over 100 concerts a year in Germany and abroad, at festivals, in their own series "musikFabrik in WDR," and in regular radio recordings and CD productions.
 
Interdisciplinary projects include live electronics, dance, theater, film, literature, and creative art. They also present discussion concerts and alternative concert forms involving audience participation. Because of their extraordinary reputation and superb artistic quality, musikFabrik is a trusted partner of renowned composers and conductors worldwide.

Evelyn's Café will open at 5 PM with a full menu of meals, snacks, and beverages as well as a selection of wines. Parking is available in the Rensselaer parking lot on College Avenue.
