expanding particle
echoes upon lines

scratching the carbon
for grain time

wave of memory
furrows the brow

crossing curbs
hushed

shadow stretching
a measure of string

the circumference
ever expanding

^^^

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
betrays the sediment, seismology's hum.

Negative space, night onto night.
Dancers dissolve to trace
almost an island.

WHISPERING SPECTRES

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.

n5MD

Dalot aka Maria Papadomanolaki presents a showcase of sounds from n5MD

n5MD is the former minidisc only label based in Oakland, CA that was started in the year 2000 by now ex Gridlock member Mike Cadoo. 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.

( ) : dj sessions

Engulfed in curves, we catch dark waves of sound as ( ) flows a dj session into the mix.
Richer than the crude clouds spilling from deepwater horizons this plume of sound is captured by our ears and by extension, our consciousness.
A rich, renewable resource to help initiate a tidal change in acoustic ecological awareness.
