FESTIVAL OF MIXOLOGY! � NEW AND UNUSUAL USES OF TECHNOLOGY IN MUSIC AND INTERMEDIA ART �
Monday, June 5th
_Kurt Ralske_
Kurt Ralske is a NYC-based video artist, composer, and programmer who uses technology to research time and the atemporal. He works in a variety of practices, including improvised audio-visual performance, in installations, in digital print media, and in software art. His work is created exclusively with his own custom software, written in C/C++ and Java. He has performed and exhibited at museums, galleries, and theaters throughout Europe, Canada, and the US, including the Guggenheim Bilbao, Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art and the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art. The New York Times has praised his "compelling, ingenious alliance of sound and motion" and "technological wizardry." Tonight he presents Atemporal Etudes, a series of video experiments involving dimensional remapping. In these Atemporal Etudes, events that occurred sequentially appear simultaneously. Objects at rest appear in motion, and moving objects appear to be at rest. There are distortions of geometry and impossible types of motion, but more importantly something is revealed about time and our relation to it.

_David & Gisela Gamper [See Hear Now: Visible Music]_
David Gisela Gamper's See Hear Now (http://www.seehearnow.org) is a real-time music and video collaboration that merges the sonic and the visible into a transcendent experience. See Hear Now premiered in 1999 and over the following year performed around the eastern US, including the Knitting Factory and Roulette in New York City. In their individual work, the artists are fascinated by sounds and images from nature and life. To create his live improvisations, David begins with the acoustic sounds he draws from his piano, small instruments and found objects. When he expands them through live electronic transformations they retain the power of natural sound. Originally a photographer, Gisela has extended her image making into video. Her imagery reveals how movement and rhythm create our world. With a system David developed, Gisela performs her imagery with the same immediacy as David performs his music. For this live improvised performance at Roulette, the Gampers create a unique installation using projectors, mirrors, fabric and speakers. ��enwrapped in a womb of sound and imagery penetrating my whole being�� (audience comment.)

_Keiko Uenishi a.k.a. o.blaat_
Based in Brooklyn, sound artist, composer, core member of SHARE (http://share.dj), o.blaat (Keiko Uenishi) is known for creating various interactive audio environments resulting from her ceaseless pursuit of ways to erase performer's presence and ultimately alter listening situations. Tonight�s performance is the US premiere of her first audio-visual piece, Der Blinde (The Blind Man), initially commissioned and presented by Der Ohrenzeuge/veza.klingt.org festival, Kleylehof, Austria in June 2005. The piece was made based on a short story of the same name written by Elias Canetti in his book Ear Witness: 50 Characters. Uenishi�s piece imagines a �slide show� by a blind man who takes pictures to document the sounds that he hears. For the performance, Uenishi will use a remote slide projector sensor device, created with great help from Mark Wise at Harvestworks. Check out: http://obla.at

_Ron Kuivila & Ed Tomney_
Sophisticated Filters
Sophisticated Filters is an ongoing collaborative project involving a live performance/installation by composers Ron Kuivila and Ed Tomney. Tonight, an evening length composition in three sections entitled Filtering 6-14 will be performed. Components of this performance will entail live control of software, electro-acoustic sculptures, a customized enclosure/sculpture designed to conduct live foley-art operations and vintage modular synthesis (EMS Synthi). In the concert multiple media, (physical and electroacoustic sound sources, archival audio recordings, foley art, analog synthesis and customized software) are used to produce an enormous variety of sounds that are nearly -- but not quite -- identical. This project involves the live performance of an original composition that also designates improvisational elements and responses as moment-form reactions to timbral clusters and gestures. This affords a unique realization and interpretation every time the composition is performed.
Friday, June 9th
_Benton-C Bainbridge & Evidence_
Landscaping by Evidence (Stephan Moore & Scott Smallwood) and Benton-C is a live audio/visual performance in which the artists reconstitute their experience of specific locations as improvised electronic 'landscapes'. Stephan Moore, Scott Smallwood and Benton-C Bainbridge visit sites with cameras and microphones to capture sights and sounds as raw material for cinematic collage. Bainbridge has performed, screened, streamed, broadcast and installed video worldwide over the wires and airwaves and in museums, galleries, clubs, colleges and festivals including the Whitney, MOMA, Mercat des les Flores (Barcelona), Uplink Factory (Tokyo), American Museum of the Moving Image, The Kitchen and Hotwired (World Wide Web.) Currently, Benton-C Bainbridge is designing video for RGB LED displays and live spectacles on stage and TV with FUEVOZ, a company he co-founded with V Owen Bush.
Saturday, June 10th
_Amy Knoles with Michael Sakamoto_
Amy Knoles and Michael Sakamoto will premier Sacred Cow and other works, all using live interactive video, electronic percussion and movement. Knoles is a composer/performer who tours globally performing computer assisted live electronic music with percussion controllers and linear/interactive video. Sakamoto is an acclaimed multidisciplinary artist whose works combining theater, dance, music, media and visual art question popular culture, media and common notions of authenticity and knowledge and blend complex structures through abstract, iconic texts. Their collaborative project, Sacred Cow, explores sacred and profane music and dance through the ages. South Asian chant, European gypsy rhythms, hip-hop and much more are all turned on their proverbial heads in a performance environment combining high-tech soundscapes and primal expressionism, where everything and nothing is sacred.

_Jim Staley & David First with live visuals by Ikue Mori_
This evening features the premier of Standstill, a new collaborative work by trombonist Jim Staley, guitarist David First and Ikue Mori (live visuals.) Mori, who is well known for her electronic percussion, has in recent years added image processing to her work, using MAX-JITTER to process image and sound simultaneously. Tonight, she will work exclusively in the visual realm. Staley and First will stick to the acoustic and electroacoustic realm.
Jim Staley, trombonist and composer, works primarily with improvisation, crossing genres freely between post-modern classical music and avant-garde jazz. He has collaborated for many years with other highly experienced improvisers, both dancers and musicians, including Sally Silvers, Pooh Kaye, Simone Forti, John Zorn and many others. Staley also performs and records with the Tone Road Ramblers, a collaborative chamber-improv ensemble, together since 1981.
David First has had a pretty eclectic musical career. He has played guitar with everyone from Cecil Taylor to Television�s Richard Lloyd, created electronic music at Princeton University and led a Mummer�s String Band in bicentennial parades. As a composer he has is known for his long, severely minimalist soundscapes. The New York Times calls First "a fascinating artist with a singular technique", and the Village Voice, "a bizarre cross between Hendrix and La Monte Young."
Ikue Mori began her musical activity playing drums with the seminal DNA band (with Arto Lindsay and Tim Wright) in the late 70s. She is a recipient of the Prix Ars Electronics Digital Music Award of Distinction. She has worked with the band with Dave Douglas's �Witness Freakin" ensemble and John Zorn's Electric Masada. Current working groups include Mephista with Sylvie Courvoisier and Susie Ibarra, a quartet with Kim Gordon, DJ Olive and Jim O�Rourke and a duo project with Zeena Parkins.
