THIS WEEK!
PERFORMANCE
Yvon Bonenfant: Beacons
Friday + Saturday, May 29 + 30, 8 PM
Free + Open to the PublicThere are singers, vocalists, vocal stylists - but not one of those terms quite fits Yvon Bonenfant. Call him an extended vocalist: He uses his virtuosic range in surprising ways to span and encompass extreme emotion and subtle expression. In Beacons, Bonenfant pairs this instrument with video and flashing lights, in a piece that is winsome and magical. Bonenfant's newest work explores the notion of voice as signal and of light as a means of reaching across a darkness that isolates. Beacons is an homage: to love, to loss, to the act of longing.

+ words:
When I think of summer, I think of... winter coats (those ugly big
ones that don't allow you to put down your arms). Wool caps (for
warmth, not burglary). Polar bears (their ginger ale is pretty
cold). Blizzards (not the ones with cookie bits). Ice (cue ripped
off Queen bass line). Superman's Fortress of Solitude. Frostbite.
Hypothermia. Brrrrrr. And then I remember that it is almost freaking
summer, and we don't have to worry about such things for a few
months. And what better way is there to fully ring in summer than on
the deck at Brown's with one of their beers in hand while the good
folks of Goodship provide the soundtrack? There is none. Well, there
might be one or two, but we could not clear the permits, nor was Rip
Taylor available on such short notice. Goodship favorites
thepelham123 and White Lotus are available, though, which is just
fantastic for all involved. Troy Night Out, then the Official
Unofficial Troy Night Out Afterparty (now with 100% more deck) at
Brown's - high fives will be available for those overcome with emotion.
p.s. I don't want to ruin the surprise for you, but the beer of the
day that night will be... delicious. Yeah, snare hit.

[HvEXAS] just a reminder (one more to come) may 31
spread the news...
An evening of experimental music (and more)
YGO (St. Petersburg, Russia) and If, Bwana (Chester, NY)
Sunday, May 31, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Studio at the Seligmann Homestead
23 White Oak Drive, Sugar Loaf
(home to the Orange County Citizens Foundation and Orange County Arts
Council)
Tickets: $5.00
To reserve tickets please call the Orange County Arts Council 845-469-9168
YGO _ is a multimedia project that includes 3 artists from St.Petersburg,
Russia. YGO is a synthesis of experimental music, video art and unique
ancient Russian singing tradition "Znamenny Raspev" (znamenny chant). One of
the goals of the project is to familiarize the general public with the
history and treasures of Russian Spiritual music and liturgical chant.
As happens so often, the musical structure of the half-forgotten ancient
tradition of Znamennij Raspev has something in common with modern music
concepts. Electronic and 'just intonation' music use the same modes as
Byzantine and Old Russian monodic singing. The essence of the YGO project is
to achieve the synthesis of these two concepts. Thus the project is neither
reconstruction nor restoration of ancient tradition. It's authentic and
distinctive music supported with original video art and may be more likely
referred to modern experimental and avant-garde music trends.
If, Bwana is the experimental music/sound art project of Al Margolis,
currently located in Chester, NY. If, Bwana is sometimes a solo venture and
sometimes includes other musicians. This evenings' version will also feature
longtime collaborators Dan and Detta Andreana.
"If, Bwana is some sort of evil genius working with raw materials which are
never adapted to a genre or a context, because they create one in that very
moment." Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes
