Chris PITSIOKOS / Jorge ESPINAL

How it came together, a matter of moments

joined through their intent

who knew? one walked from around the corner,
the other from south continent

Gestural measures, mental sparks

aural give and take

through texture, through vowel, let ears collide

wide, wide, awake.

颜峻 : Yan Jun

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.

GRASSHOPPER

A unique synthesis of sound, ___________ is an arboreal specialist. It prefers coniferous stands but also may be found in deciduous tree and shrubs. This dynamic noise has deep green upperparts and a striking pattern of purple and white on the underside of the ___________.
The upper edges of the effects chain are accented with black, and the distal portions of the dual horns are tinged purple or dark brown. ___________ are difficult to observe unless found in a patch of young trees where they are know to erupt with lightening manoeuvres.

JORDON SCHRANZ: cajas negras de las cruces

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.

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

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.

brownout : 2 X 3

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.

UNCLE WOODY SULLENDER

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.
