Ilya Kabakov

Looking Up, Reading the Words

MEINE LIEBER!  DU LIEGST IM GRAS, DEN KOPF IM NACKEN. 

UM DICH HERUM KIENE MENSCHENSEELE. DU HORST NUR DEN WIND UND SCHAUST HINAUF IN DEN OFFENEN HIMMEL IN DAS BLAU DORT OBEN. WO DIE WOLKENZIEHEN DAS IST VIELLEIHT DAS SCHÖNSTE.  WAS DU IM LEBEN GETAN UND GESEHEN HAST.

"...Whenever we look up at the sky, we involuntarily have a presentiment; unconciously we anticipate some sort of 'communication' from there; it seems that 'something' will be addressed directly to me..."

ILYA KABAKOV 1997

4 legs and 4 lungs, multiple bends, mad digits.
An electroacoustic shared body of synched sensory activity.

Lea Bertucci : bass clarinet, tape loops, feedback systems

Elemiechen : Boswijck > Bushwick
Six corners collide on the GPS.
Got a fix on a fixie whizzing by...
Outside, hornblare of Syosset Trux.

Deep doppler anticipating the future
signal to noise ecology.

Landscape with erratics.
Brick, steel click echoes,
elevating off the JMZ.

Burnt solder, plastic brass.
Belly to bellow,
to hold in unison,
the trunks of the trees

三富栄治 : EIJI MITOMI

Eiji Mitomi is a Tokyo based guitarist whose open ears and open tuned strings ring with complex harmonics within deceptively simple forms.

Steel tones chime to record their passage on transcontinental railroads...A chord unfolds to offer columns of sound passed through mountain passes.

Kage Tomoyuki and Warren Ng join in on the drone and add counterpuntal cumulonimbus into the rising system. Together their calling patterns blur the blues to shine silver sodium light.
