Interface at Mobius March 3 and 4, 8pm 354 Congress Street $10/$8 students, seniors and Friends of Mobius Redline to South Station, two blocks from the Children's Museum for information and reservations contact: (617) 542-7416 Interface, Curtis Bahn, Dan Trueman, With special guests, Nick Fortunato and Tomie Hahn Interactive computer music improvisation duo "Interface" creates sonic textures ranging from delicate imperceptible noise to a high energy wall of sound. They have extended, surrounded, and obscured their electric stringed instruments with a variety of technologies, creating an organic, gesturally powerful computer music. For these performances they will be joined by dancer Tomie Hahn and interactive video artist Nick Fortunato. Curtis plays a 5-string "vertical bass" (like an acoustic bass with no body) fitted with electrical pickups, various sensors and controllers which allow him to "drive" his computer during performance. Dan plays a 6-string electric violin and an electric bow of his own design; the R-Bow is a normal violin bow covered with motion and pressure sensors that send performance information to Dan's computer performance system. Interface will be joined by video performance artist Nick Fortunato. Nick performs with a live computer video-sampling rig using both hardware video processors, and "NATO," new extensions to the MAX interactive composition language allowing complex video manipulation. The performance at Mobius will also feature dancer Tomie Hahn in an interactive dance/electronic music composition entitled ìStreams,î done in collaboration with Curtis Bahn. Hahn is a musician and dancer trained in the Japanese flute (shakuhachi), Japanese traditional dance (Nihon Buyo) and contemporary Japanese performance (Butoh). Their instruments are dynamic, changing constantly from performance to performance and within performances. Recently, they have begun to integrate spherical speaker arrays, which radiate sound in all directions, into their performance set-up. Interface has a commitment to free-improvisation and electronic music composition. They create real-time sonic environments in performance which combine pre-composed electronic sounds with real-time digital signal processing, synthesis, algorithmic composition, and sampling. ------------------------------ - - - - vzhodna evropa kot nedelj!v! preoztanek al! kos dreka matemat!kna zpodletelozt. _ d!nam!kna zpodletelozt. b!t. revoluc!=ja. zodobnem kompleksu. -___.... m9ndfukc.macht.fre! . okz!dent-- e | | +---------- | | < \\----------------+ | n2t | > e [n-at_o.ma_ch-t.fr_e!] Ø f Ø Ø Ø 3 | | http://www.m9ndfukc.org/nato.0+55+3d o. - http://www.m9ndfukc.org/nato.0+00/ _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
