----- performance: an evening of modular collaborations (as part of the eavesdropping series)
february, 9th 2012 -- 7:30 pm
the tank: 151 west 46th street, 8th floor

artist/s: gill arno, patrick franke, richard garet, wolfgang gil, andrew lafkas, david moscovich, daniel neumann, ben owen, ole schmidt, chris weinheimer and others.

modern composer and curator guy barash’s new music series “eavesdropping” returns to the tank to present some of today’s most daring performers and surprising composers. this installment features: gill arno, patrick franke, richard garet, wolfgang gil, andrew lafkas, david moscovich, daniel neumann, ben owen, ole schmidt, chris weinheimer, and others. the group will explore collaborative strategies of composing and performing sound and visuals based on the idea of modular organization. pieces are developed in non-hierarchical and decentralized forms where collaborators interact as equals. the modular structure is reflected less on the technical level but primarily on the level of collaborative formulation of ideas and its execution.

about eavesdropping: for artists, eavesdropping provides a stage for risk-taking and the exploration of the non-conventional in sound, to present a relevant boundary-breaking artistic work. shows often include multi-media elements, real time electronic processing, and performance art. for our audiences, we are committed to presenting innovative repertoire that is relevant and intriguing. eavesdropping is cross-genres new music series presented to the city’s inquisitive listener. the one that seen it all and heard it all but crave for cultural excitement. pr or any other pertinent information: tickets are $10 at the door / $8 online at: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/214702

the imagery of melting ground consists of an uninterrupted single handheld take, while flying in a helicopter over mendenhall glacier in juneau, alaska in august 2005. garet submitted the footage to rigorous processes of digital manipulation, altering the takes natural condition, light, motion, rhythm, and duration. the audio was specifically composed for the imagery. asher’s sonic construction commenced by making recordings with microphones placed inside the body of a piano, very close to the hammers, and emphasizing not only the tactile qualities of the instrument, but also the timber and sensorial richness of its sound. additionally, asher focused on layering and synchronizing loops of the piano’s sounds to create irregular structures in which new melodic phrases would arise through chance.
