Events in New York for Phill Niblock in December

A couple of events in New York for Phill Niblock in December December 7, Sunday, 6pm, Entertaining Science, at The Cornelia Street Café, 29 Cornelia Street,  NewYork, NY 10014  SO YOU THINK YOU’VE HEARD IT ALL? The brain does marvelous things with the variety of sensory “inputs”entering it – light, sound, touch. This program pairs a sage of musicaland film “minimalism” who specializes in pieces with very extended pitches,Phill Niblock, with the help of David Watson, bagpipes, and with a young masterof the way acoustic signals are processed in the brain, Nima Mesgarani fromColumbia’s Electrical Engineering Department to lead you to think about soundin unusual ways. Phill’s music is an exploration of sound textures created invery dense, often atonal tunings. Listen, and you’ll hear things that youcannot imagine could have been heard. Nima designs experiments probing how ourbrain hears speech, and thinks about interfacing brain signals to machines. Helikes to invert things, so he will tell us what a ferret hears when you speakto it. Sounds have textures, they overlay and interlace. And the braindoes things with them that you could not imagine! http://corneliastreetcafe.com/ https://corneliastreetcafe.wordpress.com/entertaining-science/ http://www.ee.columbia.edu/~nima/web/Home.html www.experimentalintermedia.org December 21, Sunday, from5pm until 11pm, the Winter Solstice, six hours of Phill Niblock At Roulette in Brooklyn, 509 Atlantic Ave at ThirdAve Music and Film / Video www.roulette.org I am happy to announce the release of a newDVD on the Mode label (Mode 273) Brazil84,the film, with three pieces for orchestra, as music A filmfrom the Movement of People Working series, and recently transferred from 16mmfilm to video TheMusic: “ThreeOrchids,” for three orchestras – Orchestra of the SEM Ensemble, conducted byPetr Kotik, Merkin Hall, NYC, live recording by Paul Geluso, June 3 2004 “Tow byTom,” for two orchestras – Trio Scordatura (Amsterdam) and the Nelly BoydEnsemble (Hamburg), mixed / multitrack recordings of the two ensembles, one onthe left channel, the other on the right.
