fractured talking points

the echo,
who said it?
either Ornette

the words, the parts,
the multiplicity of thoughts
that impact across our tympani.

doubled up, we nod in agreement

EMBARKER
is the project of Michael Roy Barker.

EMBARKER burns electronic waveforms
that splinter like porcupines rolled out by a steamroller.
Circuits in collision,
improvisations for post-ADHD living.

Sound-tracked video lives from the lost and found.
Audio obsessions. Experiments and interactions with found media.
Rewound and repurposed audioscapes that disassemble and challenge mainstream media identities. Frenetic offerings to alternative paths of thought and action.

Movements on the fractured table via live electronic interface.
>sweat >sparks >sound.
Modular synths, radical routing and vox processing.
Clamped strings and black boxes
> bent/retooled.

Multiples and mutations gathered to form a monophonic signal.
A singular voice.

EMBARKER has released a CD of found answering machine tapes on Heresee Records and a compilation of found video on Sendhelp.

2011-10-03T19:17:00.077-04:00

Rising to cross the sky, native son Jonathan Ray aka JON RA applies sound knowledge with resolute vision. Growing from the same desert root as his brother 13pieces aka artist Justin Ray, they represent crates of creativity and floods of knowledge from Laguna Puebla.
With cinemagraphic DJ skills JON RA throws down rotations.
Mixing light, air and clay into slabs of movement.
He arcs across the sky, crossing the continent with thought.

***
In the air
Tracing rings, growing
Raising the roof, it begins.

Alternating stacks of red rock, mixed brick
Red-orange clay spun in the mix.

High desert winds whistle, winding in deep grooves
Slot copper canyons, dry green glint
The surface noise, tracing the earth's crust.

Dust tracks trace the path from no town to near you
Wise heads, the crate-diggers gather to uncover
The archeology.

In multiple parts, upon multiple paths, we enter
Applying art to perspectives, Applying in real time.

Rotating, the arc tracing
Earth's analog
Expanding once more
To move a spirit.

BALKANIZED ////////////////////// with NEG-FI

2011-08-20T16:34:00.059-04:00

A musical survey of Balkan states of mind. Two views.
East/West mixes via Ryan Walsh & Evelyne Buhler
A psychogeography, with selections by Neg-Fi.

The Balkan Peninsula is an icon of the fractured land
that forms between the tides of empires.
It's history betrayed by the degradations of demagogues.
The map, a many stranded tapestry of folkloric beauty, spiritual corruption and nationalist butchery.

The Balkans witnessed Byzantium's last stand.
Crusader vengeance via The Holy See.
Isolated valleys caught between the Ottoman Empire's Islamic expansions, Habsburg Austrian-Hungarian pretensions and Greek and Russian Orthodoxy.
Tito's national unification and subsequent post-Soviet style break-up and NATO post cold-war disorganization all add to the current mix.
Imperial pressures, collisions of dogma, fear of the other. Revolution and industrialization fed the frictions that frayed the social apart.

Long threads of thought, we follow the wool. Piecing back together the fabric of communities long torn asunder. People and herds mixing, migrating along mountainsides and into valleys. In noisy numbers, bells ring, footsteps and hoof treads trace multiple threads.
Caravans of culture, village to mountain to village. Communities growing into coastal cities connected to the world afar. The mountains multifold with dialects and lineages yet many share a lingua franca.
People trade positions and provisions and improvised songs.
Goat skin bladders, Double reed and drum. Group harmonics for mountain passes.
Greek and Turk, Slav and Romani, German and Jew to name but a few that add to the melody.

History forces us to recognize that new musics now haunt
the hate burnt villages, destroyed factories and blood filled valleys.
Laments for lost shepards and black sheep. Polyester and petrol.
Post-punk units using soundsystems in guerrilla deployment.
Musicians document the recent social transformation. Aesthetics of urgency and insecurity tangle with each other as historians search the tapestry's torn edge. Search parties question this map. Borderlands are repeatably disputed and denied. The location of mass graves leaving a permanent stain upon the land that cannot be forgotten.

How now to challenge the post-atrocity status quo?
How now to heal this fractured land?

dAVID mOSCOVICH founded Louffa Press to promote new, innovative microfictions in limited run, handmade editions. His stories and interviews have appeared in Word Riot, Rain Taxi, The Rumpus, Fringe and others. He has been playing the amplified bicycle for seven years and lives in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

tAMARA yADAO employs structure in improvisation to highlight failure aesthetics and meaning in conceptual methods of sound-making and juxtaposition. Current explorations include compositions for re-purposed machines, electroacoustic composition in virtual space and the spoken word. Materials may include house-hold electronics, mechanical instruments, guitar and voice. Pieces are purposed for the single channel, multi-channel performance installation and live performance.

mIKEY IQ jONES often works in a solo medium, using primitive sampling devices to process and arrange live sound materials drawn from the artist's voice, body, and arsenal of found object percussion. Glycemic is an improvised text arrangement derived from the artist's reading excerpts of his diabetic food diary, which logs blood glucose levels, medication dosages, and food intake.

颜峻 : Yan Jun

2011-06-01T18:28:00.000-04:00

Beijing based artist Yan Jun creates new thought structures via sound and language.

Yan's current sound works deploy inventive configurations of headphones which allow groups of listeners to share an extended reflexive ganglion cluster.

Multiple headphones are linked via a hub to a recorder and a pair of mics which in turn feedback via a single pair of head-free headphones. Akin to a temporary external neural net the listeners form a symbiotic organism as they share a single set of ears while their collective body impacts upon the audio environment. By deploying a variety of microphones in motion to capture phonography near and far afield a backdrop is provided for the participants which grounds subsequent audio events.

The scenes shift with immersive microfeedback, creating dynamic tension between the everyday world around us and the linked individual nervous systems. Subtle body movements and improvised actions yield instantaneous aural shifts of great intensity.

Ethan Crenson @ 78rpm : Hazzanut

2011-04-17T12:00:00.010-04:00

Artist and curator Ethan Crenson shares amazing platters from his expansive 78rpm collection. Brooklyn blocks echo with these mournful melodies that cry out from open windows. Presenting seven records by Jewish cantors (hazzanim) and one by an actor-singer from the 1920's Yiddish theater.

"One of the earliest recordings here is a memorial to the victims of the Titanic disaster recorded in 1913. Four of the records, all by Mordechai Hershman, are from the years between the World Wars, an era considered the "golden age" of cantorial singing. The songs are powerful, plaintive, soulful, and to me, very mysterious." - E.C.

Mordechai Hershman (1888–1940) around was a hazzan in Vilna. After serving in World War I, he emigrated to Brooklyn and took the position of hazzan at Temple Beth El.

Noah Nachbush (1885-1970) was an actor of the influential Vilna Group. He emigrated to the US in 1923 where he became a singer-actor in the Yiddish theater.

Samuel Kligfeld was cantor for the Genesis Hebrew Center in Crestwood, New York. He performed on the radio and television in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Zavel Kwartin (1874-1952) was born in Russia. He became Obercantor of the Queen Elizabet Temple in Vienna in 1903. Invited to perform in the US in 1914, his tour was postponed by the outbreak of World War I. He completed the tour in 1920 and decided to stay in the US permanently as hazzan of the Temple Emanuel in Borough Park, Brooklyn. Upon his death he was buried in Israel in 1952.

Josef "Yossele" Rosenblatt (1882-1933), a child prodigy from a long line of cantors, was born in Ukraine. His first position was in Hungary at the age of 18 . Later, he served as cantor in Hamburg, followed by a position in Harlem, New York's First Hungarian Congregation Ohab Zedek. He had a singing role in the film the 1923 film 'The Jazz Singer'.

As series curator of SYNCHRO, Kage presented a forum for improvised real-time telematic performances with pairs of artists linked via live digital up-link between Tokyo and New York City.

For this solo set Kage synchronized a system of keys, acoustic and electronic. Human and harmonium linked breath with the pedal pulse and shift of analog oscillations. Retracting diaphragms, routes and returns. Muscle memory vs. memory chips.

Amid an acoustics of catharsis, envisioning new architectures of connectivity which reach across intersecting fault lines.

Surveying to scribe the outlying arcs,
deploying wide angles, archipelagos.

Antipodes of architecture and time,
A box of lenses, X to expansion.

Lost fragment of speech, the broken syllable

Negative space, night onto night.

BOB BELLERUE : Rainbow Luthiers of the Dusk

2010-12-07T17:03:00.001-05:00

Rainbow Luthiers of the Dusk

City of angels native son and maker of noise Bob Bellerue has transplanted his noise culture to Eastern shores and now traverses Brooklyn blocks. He performs solo, works as a duo with Raven Chacon as KILT, and collaborates far and wide including projects with Telecult Powers, Tecumseh, Francisco Meirino and Smegma.

Leaving an indelible mark on the Los Angeles scene through his music and by founding the performance space Il Corral, he encouraged experimental musicians by providing a safe haven for their atypical endeavors.

***

This track is built around a core Supercollider patch which Bob has been elaborating upon since 2001, along with 4 guitar pedals, a tube mic pre-amp, hollow body guitar, 14" spring reverb, loose guitar pickup, 2 radios, AM radio transmitter, 2 mixers, and 2 guitar cabinets.

"As a composer and performer, I'm less interested in a predictable journey through notated and pre-known paths of sound; I have my plans, but I'm more motivated by the slimmest sense I can achieve of rediscovering the material in the moment of sound making. Some times this comes from sudden changes of knob twiddling, or arranging my equipment in a slightly different way than I normally do, or listening from the other side of the room. External forces can be incorporated, accepted as part of the cosmos that is the sound. It may be more of a "sound happening" than a composition - setting up a situation with captured energy and seeing where it goes when you let it loose, more energy focused on listening to what is happening in the moment, rather than spewing my pre-digested masterpiece over a deaf, dumb and dead world. I'm not always a bombast, but I do have a morbid compulsion towards activating the gut through energy, and that is one way to activate my higher capacities as they say, or, the way to my heart is through oscillating my innards. I don't generally work via compositional theories, but poetic / revolutionary ones - be yourself, keep it radical, don't wait for anyone's permission, do things the wrong way, listen to what is outside of your object(ive), don't follow every idea until they return twice or more to you, change the envelope, bring half your gear and make something happen, paraphrase the same Cage quote as often as possible ("a mistake is merely an inability to keep up with the present moment"), practice, improvise, mix it up, be brave and righteous, set your world on fire. Like I said, I have my plans, but I am often pouring piss and vinegar on them, and charring them in the fire of experience." -B.B.

ANDY GRAYDON : Untitled (plate tectonics)

2010-11-30T21:01:00.004-05:00

Nils Karsten : (plate iv)
Tmm Mulligan : (plate v)
Nathan Carter : (plate vi)

++++++++++++++++++++++

With the volume of the Atlantic Ocean as a lens between bodies, this architectural interventional audio performance gathers and further iterates ideas from Andy's gallery installation at PROGRAM, Berlin.
Gallery goers were encouraged to listen and use audio tools to map the parameters of the gallery's architectural space.
The tools being Andy Graydon's 12 acetate recordings, dubplates pressed from field recordings of the ambient sound of NYC museums and exhibition sites.

For the LMAKseries performance, the dubplates of the PROGRAM installation were displaced into the hands of six guests who mixed them to manipulate the aural environment of the gallery. By process of overlapping their performances and building on the others contributions the guest artists dubbed the space of exhibition, remixing and overlapping the artifacts of audio of other exhibition spaces. The dubplates' acetate body decays through the friction of play yet the live spontaneous reworking yields possibilities for new material, new plates, new structures.

"By installing excavated stones from New Jersey in a gallery, Robert Smithson, in the late 1960s, revealed the dialectic between abstract and actual locations. Sometimes in containers, sometimes piled, the stones in the gallery represented a far away location without resembling it. Something of New Jersey, Smithson maintained, was held in those rocks and their displacement resulted in the expansion of the original site, both physically and conceptually.
The Site Non-Site dialectic, as Smithson called it, feels particularly familiar today as our daily lives are continually reshaped by place-defying technologies in communication, information and travel."
- Carson Chan : notes on the installation at PROGRAM, Berlin.

Black box installation consisting of a custom quad system with
LIVE active filtered FM radio signals.

"These radio signals are being passed through many band pass filters, a type of equalizer that allows a small range of frequencies through while attenuating frequencies outside of this range.
In effect, most of the audio signal is “erased” except for a narrow band of frequencies. The whispers highlight small, hidden musical moments that are occurring on FM radio, but are usually rendered inaudible by other elements in the sound." -W.S.

JORDON SCHRANZ: cajas negras de las cruces

2010-10-07T20:30:00.052-04:00

Jordon Schranz on mission, out from the Tigerasylum, running under desert skies to cross a continent and return to Brooklyn haunts.

With travels to tHE eASTERN sEABOARD on his mind,
Mr. Schranz artfully folds the body of a double bass
into a number of small black boxes.
With experience he evades random road blocks.
Outside the limits of Las Cruces, New Mexico,
a detour suggests itself around white sands, radium springs.
As the sun begins its rise, he reorients the far horizon.

The mountain range is not an illusion.
Quivers are loaded with the newly notched.
Swapping in and out of pinstripes, a camouflage of sorts,
he migrates east to walk solo alongside expanses of asphalt.
The dry air tracing back gold dusted trails near the dew line.

History and the water table shifts, a sudden rumble below our feet.
This seepage is inevitable despite attempts at civil engineering.
Currents shift crosslength to create patterns in the depths.
With guidance from the Black Saints, paths are revealed in the darkness.
Temporary rivers roll, extending their fingers
Sun baked brick bounces a question mark off steel glass towers.
Heatwaves carry a nOISE tRACK on the wind.
Travails to challenge the general dynamics of industrial reasoning.

City canyons groaning with traffic, charging with the flow of capital.
Streetlights begin their night glow as cats escape once more to chase the moonshadows.

Whence he crossed an arroyo, where once was parched,
a river now flows forth.
Copper canyons, echos of erosion
A raw wind, carrying the memory of rain.

CORE OF THE COALMAN

2010-09-04T15:00:00.025-04:00

Core of the Coalman aka Jorge Boehringer

Core of the Coalman consists of continuity and discontinuity for viola, voice and circuits on the border between order and chaos. Sonically diverse and sometimes explosive in texture, Core of the Coalman emphasizes the physicality of sound and its psychological relationship with our perceptual and environmental mechanics.

As Jorge envisions his multi-faceted approach:
"A compound eye may consist of thousands of individual photoreception units.
The image perceived is a combination of inputs from the numerous ommatidia (individual "eye units"), which are located on a convex surface, thus point in slightly different directions. This results in a specific type of focus, in which multiple systems of polymathic pursuits are allowed to progress at their own rates, attaining, as such, a unified, rather than fractured, perceptive, though a perspective different from that enjoyed by our ancestors...human and otherwise."

While currently based in Prague, CZ, for the better part of the past decade Jorge was a vital part of the San Francisco Bay Area's fertile noise scene and counted among his collaborators members of
D Yellow Swans, Grouper, Marfa and Ne-Af, XBXRX, 16 Bitch Pile Up, Liz Albee, 7 Year Rabbit Cycle, Miba, and the Grey Daturas.

Jorge is joined tonight by good friend Che Chen.

The label has gone on to be one of the premier DIY/Indie labels for electronic, shoegaze and post-rock styles with some of its roster being a hybrid of all three. n5MD has become a stable for artists who have an honest emotional thread to their music and may be best know for their quality over quantity ethos in releasing music. -M.P.

Ethan Crenson @ 78rpm : O Calypsonian

2010-07-18T19:40:00.051-04:00

78rpm enthusiast Ethan Crenson presents a selection of Calypso tracks, all played directly from original shellac pressings.

***
"Calypso music arose from the island of Trinidad. The music was topical, competitive and lively. Popular singers of Calypso erected their own thatch-roofed tents during Carnival season and charged admission. When a singer visited his competitor's tent, there was often a "war". Two singers in a cutting contest, extemporizing rhyming couplets often based on the news of the day, the people assembled in the crowd, or on descriptions of the singer's own prowess. "For veteran Calypsonians are known to be, Men who can sing on anything instantaneously", a singer is quoted rhyming in the liner notes to an album of Calypso 78s from the 1940s.

In the 40s Calypso invaded the US, and more to the point, New York City. Calypso performers took stage at the Village Vanguard. Sir Lancelot performed there in his signature tuxedo. Duke of Iron played engagements there for a full 10 months. In December of 1946 Alan Lomax organized 2 "Calypso at Midnight" concerts at New York's Town Hall. And there were recording sessions.

Among the artists, Trinidadians include: Sir Lancelot (Lancelot Victor Edward Pinard), Lord Beginner (Egbert Moore), Duke of Iron (Cecil Anderson), Lord Invader (Rupert Westmore Grant), Lord Kitchener (Aldwyn Roberts), Macbeth the Great (Patrick McDonald), and The Lion (Hubert Raphael Charles). But Calypso also took hold in other locations. From Bermuda came Sidney Bean and the Talbot Brothers. And from the U.S. a dancer at the Cotton Club, Murial Gaines became a popular Calypso singer. There is also the "Calypso Jazz" amalgam represented here by the little known Jack Sneed.

A final offering is not Calypso at all, but it is island music. The Orchestre De La Boule Blanche played Biguines from the French island of Martinique in the early 1930s."
-E.C.

*Note to audophiles: The absurdity of transferring 78rpms to mp3s does not elude us any more than the absurdity of "capturing" an audio moment in flux and presenting it frozen as a rare artifact foreverafter.
We reflect upon both the desire for audiofidelity and presenting the state of these artifacts. The turntable used is a Esoteric Sound Ramses II turntable which appears to be a modified shell of a Technics 1200 though instead of direct drive it employs a belt-driven system.
No noise reduction and only slight EQ adjustments were made in the transfer. Enjoy the surface noise! -r.r.

brownout : 2 X 3

2010-06-15T16:51:00.008-04:00

Lights a-flicker and tracks a-shudder.

*** *** ***
brownout is self described by one Rick Brown as "a caveman with a tambourine and a sinewave generator."

A reinvention of songforms and chain reactions via repurposed electronics, solo vox and inserted hand/street percussion. Through these pared down songs we witness a strong challenge to the media production values of channel G100Z big bad band sound, inc.

Distressing NYC grid structures since V-Effect no wave days, Rick continues to snap switches and such under dim lights with forward thinking projects Rattle, Two Mule Team and Inconvenient Music.

Cassette-jockey and noise auteur G. Lucas Crane unspools hidden sounds from analog-based archeologies. Winding down from touring and making noise at SXSW, his calloused fingers prove that man/machine evolution is an ongoing process.

Paul Haney from Obsolete Units returns with his bag of tricks, captures the four winds and initiates the worshippers of rust with rare earth magnets.

UNCLE WOODY SULLENDER

2010-03-16T09:38:00.045-04:00

Uncle Woody Sullender is reinventing the banjo as we sleep.
Not forsaking fingerpicking, but trading in the clawhammer for wireless tech.
This is not Delta autopilot over the Appalachians. Instead, imagine.
Taking off self-powered, from Kitty Hawk, upwind and further out, to cross the Outer Banks and crossing the Atlantic with a hacked GPS unit.
All the while...fingers and feet spinning...above the waves.

Utilizing custom electronics and reworking the head of the banjo as a loudspeaker, Woody reinvisions sound for the post 8-bit world while preserving the banjo's unique voice and sense of history.
