KARLHEINZ STOCKHAUSEN – “Total Immersion: Stockhausen Day”
“INORI – Adorations for orchestra and 2 dancer-mimes” – “Prayer-like gestures interpreted in performance by 2 dancer-mimes, lie at Inori’s core. “Dance is everything that a human being is able to do musically with any part of the body,” the composer observed. Inori celebrates the meditative potential of expressive movements, presented in fine detail by the two soloists and mirrored in the response of two orchestral groups. Stockhausen’s exquisite work will be introduced from the stage by David Robertson (also feat. Kathinka Pasveer and Alain Louafi, dancer-mimes)”
7P, Barbican Hall
“Hymnen” – “With its collage techniques, synthesis of ‘found’ national anthems and use of electronic sound modification, Stockhausen’s Hymnen remains a seminal work more than four decades after its completion. The two-hour tape composition, presented here in its four-track tape version of 1966-7, has influenced everyone from German electronic group Kraftwerk to Icelandic singer Björk with its unifying ideal of universal harmony and global humanism.”

“‘In Memory Like Water’, which revisits the idea of water as a metaphor for memory, the voices of people recounting their earliest memories are used to shape the sounds of water in motion. In each of eight loudspeakers, an individual is paired with a watery location (streams, rivers and lakes recorded in Ontario, Vermont and New York State). The streams of sound are continuous; for the most part the original voice recordings are submerged, and used to shape the water by imposing on it their frequency content, rather than being heard directly. Whispers of the voices occasionally become directly audible, however, especially when listening to one speaker at close range.”

Hello unto you.

Next week, a partial list of musicians and cultural heroes we lost in 2008 – but now, the sad passing of Fluxus maestro Henning Christiansen, followed by some nice news about Gary Todd of the Cortical Foundation.

Subject: Fwd: Press release about Henning Christiansen
From: dieter scheyhing <scheyhing [at] snafu [dot] de>
Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:57:34 +0100

“PRESS RELEASE
Askeby, Denmark, December 11th. 2008
The Danish composer and Fluxus-artist Henning Christiansen has passed away.

Tuesday night (December 10th), Henning Christansen quietly passed away after a short suffering of apoplexy. He leaves behind his wife Ursula Reuter Christiansen, four children and grandchildren not to mention an overwhelming production of compositions and art works from the ‘60s until today. Henning Christiansen was active as a composer from the ‘60s as well as an active member of the Fluxus-movement. He worked with artists such as Joseph Beuys and Nam June Paik as well as with his wife Ursula Reuter Christiansen. His overall goal was to work collaboratively and to trespass conventional boundaries. He resented the idea of an isolated artistic genius and his entire production can be seen as a subsequent and vibrant example of praxis in a constant flux. This is visible from his engagement in Fluxus, over numerous collaborative performances to his position as a professor at the Art Academy in Hamburg.

Henning Christiansen remained active till the very last day. He presented a large retrospective exhibition last year in Copenhagen, last month he participated in the music festival Wundergrund, and is currently showing in Berlin at Gelbe Music and at the Nordic Embassies. A book on the lifework of Henning Christiansen is being made at this very moment and is due in the spring 2009. Henning Christiansen resided almost 40 years on the Danish Island Møn. He was 76 years old at his passing and the funeral was Thursday, December 18th at 1 p.m. in Fanefjord Church.”

Subject: Gary Todd Holiday News
From: “Michael Intriere” <mintriere [at] rpa [dot] com>
Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 11:00:00 -0800

“Greetings to all and Happy Holidays! Gary sent out an email this year that I am including here in case any of you didn’t receive it. He is very excited about going to Montana on a ski trip with his family. They will be gone from 12/29 to about 1/4. Gary said to me he was looking forward to “downhill skiing” but the staffer at his house said he probably would be doing more snowshoeing than skiing. Also the picture of Gary and his dad wasn’t sent. I hope you can all respond to him at his email: garytsyl [at] yahoo [dot] com. The account is at his sister Barbara’s house so remember that she will see what you write.

Sorry that it has been so long since I’ve given an update on Gary’s situation, but I kept waiting for something to be resolved regarding his return to California. Unfortunately at this point his lawyer has decided there is no reason to take action at this time (!!!). He says he is not convinced that moving to California would be “best” for Gary. He did tell me that I personally could bring a motion to the court to have the guardianship shifted from Gary’s sister to myself and I guess that’s what will need to be done. Gary is VERY desperate to return “home” in Malibu, but his lawyer has decided that since he was judged incompetent when Barbara had herself appointed his guardian, he is too incompetent to know what he wants. He also refuses to have Gary re-evaluated by another doctor (Barbara’s family doctor did the first evaluation).

I hope everyone’s New Year holds a bright future,
Michael

Gary’s email:
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE.
I AM GOING SKIING WITH MY FAMILY.
WARM REGARDS
GARY”

“Perhaps some of you are familiar with Cheryl Leonard – I was not – her work involves using sounds from natural objects, i.e. bowing leaves, dropping petals on pinecones, etc. She’s about to embark on a sponsored trip to Antartica to make music there using whatever she finds, and will be bloggin’ about it here (also has a nice synopsis of some of her work so far):

“Dear Friends,
Machine is confronted with a serious challenge and we need your help.

I started Machine five years ago because I wanted a place that was comfortable, friendly, and interested in everything in the universe. Every month, our operations manager Michele and I have to raise almost $9,000 just to keep the doors open. Money above that amount we use to create the free events at Machine (almost 100 in 2008!) and put on shows like our one day takeover of LACMA. To survive we raise money from four sources – grants, workshops, the sale of books, and members – or future members – like yourself. As the economy goes tragically haywire, everyone faces challenges including the foundations who grant us money. As a result, funding we were counting on to pay Michele’s salary and the rent on our space will be significantly less, as in OH SH*T, HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY THE RENT less.

Machine has always been founded on the idea of getting as many people as possible involved in Machine’s projects for maximum awesomeness. Therefore, we are now going to do what we should have done all along – rely on the people like you who love Machine to be an active part in our survival. If you haven’t already, please:

*Donate $128 or whatever level is right for you to become a current member of Machine http://machineproject.com/membership/
*Give an additional gift to help this urgent campaign http://machineproject.com/donate
*Consider giving the gift of membership to a friend or dearest family member (we will write them an elaborate letter describing how great you are, and send it along with a machine book in time for the holidays)
*Purchase workshop gift certificates for the crafty, the restless or the electronically inclined (Sewing, Arduino, electronics, MaxMSP are our staples, but many more are likely to follow) at http://machineproject.com/store/ ; and
*Do some extravagant holiday shopping from our online book store http://machineproject.com/store/

Machine Project is a 501c3 registered non-profit and that donations are tax deductible. If you know anyone else who can help us, please encourage them to become members — or to make a significant gift. Please feel free to give me a call (213 483 8761) or email if you have any additional fundraising ideas, or would like to hear what our plans are.

It’s an odd feeling for us to be scrambling to raise money after the fun and success of LACMA, but I think that everyone who was at that event, and everything else that happens at Machine (from the sex life of sea slugs to pirate jamborees to our holiday frybq) felt how special this year has been. If you believe in the things we did together this year, I hope you will also want to see Machine Project continue on. Please help us keep doing great things together in the future. Become a Machine Project member or make an additional online donation right here.

Hello unto you.

To all my friends and fellow wizards with whom I’ve conferred and hobnobbed over this past year about life, art, death and everything below and to the left of it: thank you for making 2008 a vastly less inferior year, despite the ongoing brutality of tact, beige behaviors and people who just flat out gave in / up / out (circle one or more). My very best to you for a deeply contemplative and repeatedly peaceful holiday season – belief or disbelief notwithstanding.

Oh, and if anyone knows how to contact Ben Gilbert, operator of the ancient Zabriskie Point record label, I’d appreciate it.

S. Clay Wilson Suffers “Severe Brain Injury”
Posted by Steve Duin, The Oregonian November 09, 2008 13:23PM

“S. Clay Wilson, one of the seminal figures in the underground comix movement, suffered a “severe brain injury” last weekend, according to his partner, Lorraine Chamberlain, although no one is yet certain what caused those injuries. “I just talked to the neurologist a few minutes ago,” Chamberlain said early Sunday afternoon. “He’s in a decline because of the pneumonia. They can’t seem to stabilize him.” Chamberlain — Wilson’s partner of the last eight years (“though,” she added, “we’ve been flirting with each other for 40”) — said authorities in San Francisco originally believed that Wilson was mugged on his way home from a fairly heavy drinking binge. But Chamberlain now believes “it may be that he fell so many times” on the short walk home: “That’s what we think now, that he fell several times and hit his head,” Chamberlain said. “He has a fractured orbital bone in his eye and he fractured his neck. He looks like he’s been kicked in the face and beaten up. But if he’d been beaten up, he would have been robbed. There’s no way to know. But he had way too much to drink.”

Wilson, 67, arrived in San Francisco from Kansas in 1968, even as covers for Zap Comix were running off the press at Charles Plymell’s print shop on Post Street. Later that night, Wilson told Patrick Rosenkranz in Rebel Visions, he was showing his portfolio to R. Crumb. “I was just completely blitzkrieged by the guy,” Crumb said. “I’d never seen anything like those drawings of his before.” Wilson’s unapologetic approach to art, particularly in his depictions of sex and violence, has long been credited for persuading Crumb to stop censoring himself and, invariably, to produce his best work. “Just because you depict evil, doesn’t mean you are evil,” Wilson told Rosenkranz. “People always get that confused. They expect me to be all the monsters I draw. I say, ‘No, I’m a repressed Victorian. I shuffle around here and I drink my morning tea.’ People show up in leathers and s**t, looking like my characters, I won’t let them in my house …

“I get a lot of flak from feminists, but we all do,” Wilson added. “But within that group of feminists, there’s all kinds of mentalities. Some don’t understand what we’re dong — making fun of everything. Spain (Rodriguez) gets a lot of s**t about it, we all do. I like the idea of keeping the boat rocking.” Chamberlain said Wilson rarely drinks any more and apparently left the bar last Saturday night while friends were trying to track down a taxi. He’d been hospitalized almost 72 hours, she said, before he opened his eyes, and when asked his name, responded, “I don’t know.”

“It was very bad news today,” Chamberlain said. “The most important thing is that he gets over the pneumonia, but he’s had a very severe head injury.” Wilson is in intensive care at San Francisco General. Chamberlain said the hospital will not allow him to receive visitors or flowers.”

“George Brecht, 82, Fluxus Conceptual Artist, Is Dead
By KEN JOHNSON, NY Times
Published: December 15, 2008
George Brecht, a core member of Fluxus, the loosely affiliated international group of playful Conceptual artists that emerged in the early 1960s, died on Dec. 5 in Cologne, Germany. He was 82 and lived in Cologne. He died in his sleep, said Geoffrey Hendricks, a friend, who was also a Fluxus member. He had been in failing health for several years.

Mr. Brecht came of age as an artist in the late 1950s, when Abstract Expressionism and the cult of the heroic creative genius were ascendant. Inspired by the Conceptual art of Marcel Duchamp and the experimental music of John Cage, he began to imagine a more modest, slyly provocative kind of art that would focus attention on the perceptual and cognitive experience of the viewer. American, European and Asian artists who were thinking along similar lines included Dick Higgins, Alison Knowles, Ben Vautier, Nam June Paik and George Maciunas, who in 1962 came up with the name Fluxus for this confederation of like-minded Conceptualists. Like many other Fluxus artists, Mr. Brecht created assemblages consisting of ordinary objects in boxes and cabinets, as well as arrangements that often included chairs. He also made paintings and sculptures that played with language, like a piece with white plastic letters spelling “sign of the times.”

His most important and original contribution was a form he called the “event score,” which typically was printed on a small white card that he would mail to friends. The event score consisted of a title followed by eccentric instructions. The directive for “String Quartet,” for example, read simply, “Shaking hands.” The musicians would perform it by doing just that. One of his most famous pieces was “Drip Music,” in which “a source of water and an empty vessel are arranged so that the water falls into the vessel.” Performances of “Drip Music” can be seen on Youtube.com. He created event scores for sculptures as well. Instructions for “Three Arrangements,” for example, read, “on a shelf/on a clothes tree/black object white chair.”

Mr. Brecht said that he did not care if any of his event scores were realized and that he did not think that there was a correct way to perform one. He once wrote that his events were “like little enlightenments I wanted to communicate to my friends who would know what to do with them.” Mr. Brecht was born George MacDiarmid on Aug. 27, 1926, in New York. His father, a flutist who played in the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and the NBC Radio Orchestra, died when his son was 8. Mr. Brecht changed his last name to Brecht — not in reference to Bertolt Brecht, but because he liked the sound of the name — around 1945 while serving in the United States Army in Germany. After the war Mr. Brecht studied chemistry at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science in Philadelphia, and he supported himself as a research chemist from 1950 to 1965.

In the mid-1950s, following the lead of Jackson Pollock, Mr. Brecht produced paintings using chance operations and materials like bed sheets, ink and marbles. In 1958-59, he attended a class in experimental music composition taught by John Cage at what was then the New School for Social Research in New York. Soon he was producing compositions even more radical than those of Mr. Cage. In the early 1960s, Mr. Brecht taught in what was then the unusually progressive art department of Rutgers University, along with Mr. Hendricks, Allan Kaprow (who became known as an inventor of the “happening”) and Robert Watts, who also became a Fluxus artist.

Mr. Brecht’s first solo exhibition, “Toward Events: An Arrangement,” was at Reuben Gallery in New York in 1959. During the next five years, he participated in many group exhibitions and performances in New York. His work “Repository” (1961), a wall cabinet containing a pocket watch, a thermometer, rubber balls, toothbrushes and other objects, was included in “The Art of Assemblage,” the famous 1961 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, and the museum later bought it. Nine years later, Mr. Brecht was included in “Information,” another landmark show at the Modern. In 1965, Mr. Brecht left New York. He lived in Rome, the South of France, London and Düsseldorf, Germany, before settling in Cologne in 1972.

He is survived by his wife, Hertha, and a son, Eric, who lives in Southern California. Mr. Brecht’s work was especially appreciated in Europe. He was included in Documenta, the giant exhibition in Kassel, Germany, in 1972 and 1977. In 2005 the Museum Ludwig in Cologne organized a comprehensive career retrospective, which traveled to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona. Mr. Brecht once described his art as a way of “ensuring that the details of everyday life, the random constellations of objects that surround us, stop going unnoticed”.”

“Moniek Darge’s collection of music boxes tell a poetical audiovisual story, hold tiny sounds, subtle reflections, humour and a little bit of liberating kitsch. She frequently explores flea markets with the purpose of discovering interesting boxes and elements. During the visual design of “Muziekdozen” (Dutch for music boxes), fascinating sounds slowly fill up her ears. The result consists of unique creations in which listeners can imagine an exciting audiovisual universe.”

DAVID TIBET – recent works on paper inspired by Apocryphal, Gnostic and Hallucinatory scriptures
“For “INVOCATION OF HALLUCINATORY MOUNTAlN (Some Gnostic Cartoons)”, David Tibet will install a beguiling cycle of recent works on paper that have sprung from his intense study of scriptural and apocryphal Gnostic and Christian texts in the Coptic language as well as from his joyous exploration of the Canon of Apocalyptic Cartoons. David Tibet’s visionary drawings are those of the artist as scribe illuminating the contours and spaces of our shared spirit worlds. Tibet’s work is profoundly magical in intention and it portrays and describes the dimensions of hallucinatory bodies and their worlds, where writing and image are both fluid and entwined. His drawings are child-like, playful and comical, as he continues his colouring in of the universes. In these spaces the hierarchy of human, animal and spirit forms is dissolved: masks dream of planets and grin at moons. The imaginative world that Tibet gives form to is one in which writing and speech are divine, full of promises and threats. This investigation of word and form is rooted in his studies of the Coptic language, as well as in readings of ecstatic canonical and non-canonical Christian texts. However, these ideas are filtered through a uniquely English sensibility that places him in the tradition of such diverse figures as Enid Blyton, Aleister Crowley and Louis Wain. His idiosyncratic and passionate work shines an inmost light on the pleasures and horrors of the divine comedy that we all inhabit. 93 paintings were made by David for the “INVOCATION OF HALLUCINATORY MOUNTAlN (Some Gnostic Cartoons)” show, of which 39 will be exhibited.”

ANNE-MIE VAN KERCKHOVEN (a.o.)
“Error #11 – Into the Light”
“Into the Light addresses the status of the image and its complex interaction with its surroundings. The works brought together here display the participating artist’s differing attitudes and methodologies. They were selected for their complexity, their complementarity and their potential for inciting the viewer to take another look at reality. Thomas Bayrle investigates the infrastructure of the visual surroundings and weaves patterns into visually complex superstructures. Pierre Bismuth deconstructs common patterns of perception and adds to them an element of astonishment. Nikolaus Gansterer confronts us with a dubious, complex system of scientific theories as well as the boundary between nature, culture and art. Caron Geary’s photographic work poses questions about identity and gender. For “Into the Light”, the INTERFACULTYgroup produced a new work for a specific location, namely, a future hotel on the Leopold de Waelplaats. The work is the result of a process of cooperation that reacts to the spatial and social context. Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven’s psychedelic computer animations bear witness to a fascination for technology and its influence on humanity and society.

Hello unto you.

Just in case no one knew, Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Mike Dunnigan (December 6, 1957 – June 30, 2002) and drummer Sean Dunnigan (June 13, 1964 – April 14, 2002) died. They were in the band’s first incarnation and played on “I Saw Your Mommy.”

Blast from the Blaster
By Ron Garmon

“I’m sympathetic, but you don’t stiff people with cancer”: I can think of a metric f*ckton of better things to jawbone with Dave Alvin of The Blasters about than the financial peccadilloes of club owners, but Sam Lanni still owes the Dog & Pony Show benefit Dave hosted the $7,000 he collected from the gate. In the months since the Labor Day roots-music marathon, the owner of the now-closed Safari Sam’s has yielded up little but excuses for the missing money, intended to defray medical costs for four L.A. musicians, all longtime friends of the master Blaster.

Dave never played Lanni’s celebrated Huntington Beach venue back in the 1980s, but, like the rest of us, watched the new club going up near Kingsley and Sunset with curiosity. “I met Sam when they were building the club,” Dave drawled. “I went by just to look at it when it was being built. I met him the night we played and he seemed like a good guy; passionate, you know, about music and all that, and I’ve always held to the theory that to have a great club and a music scene, you have to have visionaries. Not just musicians, but owners of nightclubs. Ed Pearl, who owned and ran The Ash Grove for about 30 years, was one. Doug Weston at The Troubadour, Brendan Mullen and The Masque, even Elmer Valentine and The Whisky, so you need people like that, who’ll do anything to make that happen. Maybe sometimes it’s a little wacky with some of these guys, but you need that. Sam seemed like one of those guys to me.”

“I believe I played there the first time, in 2006, when it reopened. I don’t remember if it was the first night, but it was the first weekend. I did a New Year’s show with the Knitters and played there a couple of more times since. Then I put on the three-day benefit on Labor Day. Basically,” at this point Dave sounds as if he’s about to undergo a root canal, “I put it together with my manager Nancy Sefton, and the idea was to raise money for some friends of ours who’ve been battling cancer and don’t have health insurance. My best friend was a guy named Chris Gaffney and Chris unfortunately died from it. I have three other friends, Candye Kane, the blues singer, Duane Jarvis, a great guitar player who’s played with everybody from John Prine to Lucinda Williams, and Drak Conley, guitar-player and bon vivant. It was overwhelming! Nancy and Drak came up with the idea of an Internet site for music and people like this. Chris had fans from all over the world and that was kind of a way of raising the heart money. The benefit was not only to raise money to help somebody, but kind of also a group hug. So, Sam offered the place for free. Some places charge operating costs for benefits, whatever they say that is, but Sam was pretty cool about the door, thinking he’ll make money off the bar. I got a bunch of everybody’s friends to agree to play. It was successful and I was proud and kinda happy about it, but then there came a little problem.”

The problem was Sam’s non-payment of almost $7,000 worth of credit card sales to the objects of the benefit, three of whom still live while the fourth’s family is still paying medical bills. How the flamboyant entrepreneur got into this scrape is the subject of some lurid Clubland gossip these days, but Dave’s not particularly interested in Lanni’s troubles with his nut. “I’ve been hearing all sorts of rumors about this and some of them are pretty good,” Dave philosophized. “Every musician has been stiffed at a gig. Chris Gaffney would find it ironic he got stiffed on his last gig. It’s another thing to stiff people who are dealing with cancer. It was a frigging benefit to help these people … .” At this point, Dave’s pleasant movie-cowboy voice simply gave out and it was a long minute before he resumed. “Well, that’s a different kind of getting stiffed. He owes us $6,680. I know it’s not a million bucks or anything, and we got the bulk of the money, but this sum is off the credit card sales. If suddenly tomorrow we had the money, I’d be fine. Everybody goes through hard times and it’s hard to be a club owner, particularly in Los Angeles. The city doesn’t really want music clubs. I’m sympathetic, but you don’t stiff people with cancer. I can’t go to bat for everyone he’s stiffed, but that would make him fine with me. Sell a car or something. You owe us.”

ENSEMBLE MAE – “Licht is de Machine” (after an idea by Joost Rekveld, composer: Martijn Padding, director: Paul Koek, dramaturgy: Paul Slangen)
“Presented on the airport Valkenburg in Katwijk, promises to be a very exciting programme. Light is the Machine is both a gigantic visual installation as a music theatre performance. In the performance light presents her beauty but also her blinding flipside. The audience is taken on a trip along old utopian worlds, sad dreams and personal desire: sometimes in the form of an intimate concert, at other times in a visual surrounding, in which the audience, technicians, musicians and actors all share the floor. Light is the Machine is the first cultural project on the former Airport Valkenburg, Katwijk, commissioned by Kunstgebouw Zuid-Holland.”

“Holy Modal Rounders…Bound to Lose” (unrated / 87 minutes / projected from DVD)
“When fiddler Peter Stampfel collided with guitarist Steve Weber during the ‘Great Folk Scare’ of the early sixties in New York, the two musicians formed a powerful bond based on their shared fascination with American roots music and early psychedelia. Dubbing themselves The Holy Modal Rounders, these eccentric outsiders have been playing their unique brand of psychedelic folk for over four decades, barely surviving on the fringes of the music industry while drawing a dedicated following of luminaries and lunatics. From their origins in New York’s Greenwich Village folk scene and their involvement in the Easy Rider soundtrack, to the lost years of constant drugging, endless touring and a final shot at redemption, “The Holy Modal Rounders… Bound To Lose” recounts the unique forty-year history of these true American originals. With startling intimacy, the film also documents the band’s arduous, amusing, and sometimes heartbreaking struggle to capitalize on their recent resurgence in popularity, culminating in an unpredictable 40th anniversary concert in Portland, Oregon. More than just a chronicle of an obscure band, “The Holy Modal Rounders… Bound To Lose” is a raucous celebration of a lost Americanoutlaw subculture as it draws its final rebellious breaths.”

LOUISE BOURGEOIS – retrospective
“This comprehensive exhibition is the first major survey of American artist Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911, Paris, France) work in more than a decade. Bourgeois’s long and distinguished career reveals a vast oeuvre in dialogue with most of the major international avant-garde artistic movements of the 20th century – from surrealism to conceptual art – but always remaining distinctively separate, as an inventive frontrunner. Simultaneously engaging both modern and traditional techniques, Bourgeois explores various themes in a range of styles, from abstraction to the ready-made. With over 100 works spanning her career, the exhibition includes her earliest paintings; sculptures in differing materials; large-scale installation works from the 1980s and ‘90s; a selection of drawings and prints; small-scale hand-made objects; and her most recent works, which utilize fabric. A rare opportunity to see many of Bourgeois’ most well-known pieces reunited, the presentation includes Filette (1968), The Blind Leading the Blind (1947-49), and a number of her powerful “Cell” installations, such as Red Room (Parents) (1994) and Red Room (Child) (1994).”

“The Headphones Show” (curated by Alan Licht)
“Headphones have become a fact of the urban landscape – the Walkman, Discman, and now iPods have made headphones a ubiquitous presence in the culture of commuters. Headphones are the closest one can come to experiencing sound in the same way as reading silently to oneself. They provide an alternative, handpicked, and disjunctive soundtrack to one’s surroundings. They also block out the sounds of the immediate environment, while keeping the music inaudible to others, preventing listeners and their cohabitants from being disturbed. In this way headphones have come to symbolize isolation as an increasingly common attribute of life in the digital world. “The Headphones Show” brings together recent art works that require headphones to be experienced, acknowledging the rise of sound as an element in visual art, as well as a medium in itself. The works in the show explore shared experience versus private experience, using headphones to signify the daily reconciliations of interior and exterior worlds in everyday life.”

FELIX THORN – “Felix’s Machines”
“‘Felix’s Machines’ are a series of extraordinary mechanical instruments put together by the artist and musician Felix Thorn in his South London bedroom. The project, which began in 2006, is continuously evolving and will do so throughout and after its time at Gasworks. During the exhibition, musicians and producers will respond to ‘Felix’s Machines’ in a series of events exploring its musical potential. When connected to a computer, ‘Felix’s Machines’ translate Thorn’s compositions into mechanical actions performed by customised drums and piano parts and animated by solenoids, springs and motors. In this way, an electronic means of production is transposed into an acoustic output. Each element of the machine has its own light emitting diode (LED). In the darkened space of the gallery, this creates an arrangement of coloured projections illuminating the sound source and synchronised with the music.”

“Transcentric: Across, Beyond, Between and Within” (exhbition)
“TRANSCENTRIC is a collection of works across a range of media by artists associated with RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia and the University of the Arts London. The works in the exhibition move across, beyond, between, and within city centres. As such they are concerned with phenomena that we might think of as ‘urban’, however this is interpreted not only in terms of spatial relationship, but also considers how the urban centre resonates with overlapping themes arising from social, environmental, geographical, political and other forces. Many of the works are concerned with the particularities of the aesthetics of writing and re-writing urban space, while others reflect on associations emanating from and within the centre such as the symbolism of architecture, the structures of belief systems, mortality in the modern world, the relationship of the centre to the periphery, the spaces in-between, and the weather.”

Hello unto you.

It seems a good time as any to announce my band Black Love to a wider audience. The songs from our first single can be found here:

http://www.myspace.com/blackloveglobal

First Black Love live actions happen at The Smell in Los Angeles in early 2009, the entire experience of which can be most succinctly described as Robert Palmer transforming into a deck of tarot cards. Rather noisily, I should add. Our fans are called Black Lovers. Wouldn’t you like to be a Black Lover, too?

And now, here’s David Lynch with the weather: http://www.davidlynch.com/dailyreport/

Subject: We Be Echo, and others.
From: Kevin Thorne
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 01:19:49 -0800

“It’s the 25th anniversary of the release of the We Be Echo cassettes “Ceza Evi” and “Ceza Evi Special Edition” (featuring Genesis P. Orridge and Iham on Tibetan thighbone trumpet on “Inside Life’s Wire”). To celebrate, Mike Honeycutt of Mystery Hearsay and I have digitized the tracks from both tapes and I am pleased to announce the release of “Ceza Evi – Unleashed and Revisited”, a CD containing both albums. There will be 143 copies made, each individually numbered.

The CDs can be ordered from http://www.tdftl.com from December 1st 2008. Orders can be reserved now using the form on the website. CDs are $15 Canadian, plus postage. There’s 32 tracks, over two-and-a-half hours of music (including three ultra-rare tracks), packaged with a high quality cover.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“All things must come to an end.

After 10 years and over 40 releases, Crouton will be closing. There are many people who
without their help, none of this would have been possible. Even those simply reading
these messages took part in something that consumed a big part of my life, and for that,
I thank you. Those that supported the label by buying releases, I can’t thank you enough,
and hope you’ve enjoyed them as much as I have. Very special thanks also to Chris Rosenau, Scott Kawczynski, Jim Schoenecker, Andrew McKenzie, Hal Rammel, Dan Warburton, Tom Wincek, Jason Kahn, Bhob Rainey, Patrick Monaghan, Evangelinos Evangelos, Frans de Waard, Jochen Schwartz, Jerome Noetinger, Jimmy Johnson, and all the artists I’ve been able to work with over the years. These people helped in many ways to make the label possible, and the relationships were truly a pleasure.

Croutonmusic.com will remain active into 2009, and orders placed through the site will be filled with the same promptness as usual. However, no new titles will be produced. At an undetermined time, the site will be closed, and the remaining releases will no longer be available.

Thanks again to everyone for their interest and support over the years. It’s been a great
pleasure to be a part of this music.

Take care,
Jon”

“Electronic Music Network scene from 1980-1989

In my mind, no other period went through as much of a transformation of the music industry. In particular, the formation of a network of like-minded electronic artists never existed prior to that time. This is just an idea, and I’m sure it will evolve as we all collaborate. It is as much your project as mine. The finished product would be a DVD with a central narrative movie and “Bonus Features” that would include discographies, bios, photos, etc.

So, what do I need from you all to get started?
1 – Rummage through your attics and basements and pull together any photos, promotional graphics, video tapes, audio recordings that you feel represent your work from that time period. Please focus only on that period. Forward your selections to me (either electronically or hard copies, as you prefer). All materials will be returned to you.
2 – After I have a list of participants, I will send it to everyone on the list.
3 – Look over the list and prepare interview questions you’d like to ask any and / or all of the other people. My preference would be that you direct your questions to a particular person on the list. The idea is to create a “round table” discussion, with everyone interviewing each other in writing. Most of us know each other, so the questions can be directed more toward the individual, rather than being “generic”. Then forward the questions to me, to coordinate with others.
4 – I will forward interview questions to each of you.
5 – Everyone should read and respond to the questions on video. Or, if you prefer not to video tape yourself, make an audio recording of your response. The idea is to get a human feel to the responses, not just written.
6 – Prepare a complete discography of your work. You can include everything up to present day. A simple text file would be the best format.
7 – Prepare a biography of yourself. Again, simple text file is best. Be as general or detailed as you like.
8 – Think about what made this time unique in your life and in the history of music.
I’m sure we’ll all think of other things as we go…and the interviews should bring up issues that may pull this in a different direction. I’m not sure where this is headed, but that’s up to you all. Welcome aboard!

Here are my contact and information sites:

PS: Think about a working title for this thing. I’m at a loss so far…”

Ten moments in sports history: http://jesusleon.wordpress.com/2007/07/07/top-10-moments-in-sports-history/

NOVEMBER 23 – 25
MICHAEL SNOW – retrospective screenings
“Reverberlin” (2006, 55 minutes, video)
“Featuring Paul Dutton, John Oswald and Michael Snow. New York premiere. Using concert footage of CCMC, the free improvisational ensemble Snow co-founded in 1974, the filmmaker/musician digitally weaves together images and sounds from performances that have taken place across the globe. “I desired an equivalence of seeing and hearing so that one could actually listen, pay attention to the music, as well as follow the picture development,” Snow writes.
“La Région Centrale” (1971, 180 minutes, 16mm)
“Made over the course of five days on a deserted mountaintop in North Quebec, the vertical and horizontal alignment as well as the tracking speed of Snow’s equipment was all determined by the camera’s settings. Anchored to a tripod, the camera turned a complete 360 degrees, craned itself skyward, and circled in all directions. Because of the unconventional camera movement, the result was more than merely a document of the film location’s landscape, as its themes became the cosmic relationships of space and time.”

ENSEMBLE MAE – “Licht is de Machine” (after an idea by Joost Rekveld, composer: Martijn Padding, director: Paul Koek, dramaturgy: Paul Slangen)
“Presented on the airport Valkenburg in Katwijk, promises to be a very exciting programme. Light is the Machine is both a gigantic visual installation as a music theatre performance. In the performance light presents her beauty but also her blinding flipside. The audience is taken on a trip along old utopian worlds, sad dreams and personal desire: sometimes in the form of an intimate concert, at other times in a visual surrounding, in which the audience, technicians, musicians and actors all share the floor. Light is the Machine is the first cultural project on the former Airport Valkenburg, Katwijk, commissioned by Kunstgebouw Zuid-Holland.”
