PHASE! / Heat Retention / PRIMECUTS_063009

Brian Osborne, Heat Retention Records founder and current Brooklyn resident gathered a gaggle of musical friends in the midst intersecting east coast tours.

Reverse Mouth aka Panagiotis Spoulos and Sofia Zoitu are the prime movers in the Athens, Greece noise scene, performing on both sides of the Atlantic and releasing like minded projects on the PHASE! label.

Micheal Thomas Jackson is a walking improvisatory omnibus, working with extended techniques and employing microtonal strategies. He is the brainstorm behind the label PRIMECUTS. As well he works worldwide with a long list of many collaborators. Whilst and whilst not making noise he makes home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Studio Cyclops was graced by an explosion of ideas, approaches, dialects and diatribes.

NINNI MORGIA_061609_NORTH GUINEA HILLS

Open guitarist Ninni Morgia returned to Brooklyn from Italy to play a number of gigs and it was a great pleasure to have him in here at the studio.

Ninni is a strong element in the improv unit Quivers with Jordan Schranz and Chris Welcome. Using all their arrows to direct our ears in new directions, inversing mozart while imagining Sonny Sharrock sitting in with Black Flag for a sound summit.
Ninni also plays alongside the ever fluid like fury of Kevin Shea on drums in The Right Moves. music for recharting the tides of history after the fall of empire.

Loads of hiss expands across the room, concrete floats over our heads and splits...string details emerge and shift, darkness yields light, distant murk falls away quick hand movements evoke a scene, evershifting, breathing, alive!

ANDY GRAYDON + KENNETH KIRSCHNER_052609

Andy Graydon and Kenneth Kirschner are friends and collaborators who each create works that explore the framing devices that we as listeners employ when experiencing a soundwork.

Andy Graydon work is informed by math and nature, light and sound. He frames time with field recorders and composes sublime aural spaces. His installation and video work documents provide filmic frameworks, measuring light and space. His work involves documents from the the physical environment as well as digital synthesized elements.
Making sound pieces that are informed by his video and installation work, he creates what he calls "science fiction ecologies." These open speculations often explore the peculiarities of a given environment. By using discrete textures of sound he challenges the limits of the human senses and questions how our perception itself is the framework for each individuals experience.

Kenneth Kirschner is based in New York and among other things is inspired by composers of the New York School of the 1950s. The framework which informs much of Kenneth's current work is the use of silence both imagined and real, analog and digital. Working with a piano and real space he extrapolates upon the preparations of John Cage and embraces the silence of Morton Feldman. His works celebrate indeterminacy by employing the randomness of the digital. As a composer he provides loose frameworks that challenge the idea of the author by embracing open source digital culture and releasing work under creative commons licensing that invites remixing of his work.

Tonight Andy and Kenneth meet in dialogue, discuss past projects and present soundworks from recent releases.
