Last hours for your 2025 support - fully tax-deductable
by Katherine Liberovskaya 30 Dec '25

To reply to this email, please use - info(a)experimentalintermedia.org <pniblock(a)compuserve.com> Dear EI friends, Reaching out in these last hours of 2025 for your greatly needed support. As a composer friend who performed more than once at Experimental Intermedia recently said: " if each one of the 1000+ artists who have performed at EI over the last 50+ years could donate just 10-20$, it would be enough to fund all, or most, of the programming of the upcoming 2026 year..." Thanking you in advance for your generosity!🙏 *Indeed, **2026 will bring us the greatest challenges we have ever faced*. The reason being that we recently found out that, like many cultural organizations in these difficult times, *we were not successful this year in obtaining the state funding we have been getting for the last 40+ years*. Thus, as of January 2026, we will be reduced to only private donations to keep, what will almost certainly have to be a reduced program, going... over the next 12 months. Now, as 2025 comes to its end, we turn to you, more insistently than ever, for any change you might be able to spare to help us continue presenting innovative, technologically and technically sophisticated, music & intermedia artwork, in one form or another. So, we appeal to you, if you were inspired, challenged or moved by Experimental Intermedia Foundation's programming over the past 50 odd years, or if you performed yourself, or have come to see friends perform, or to see any of your experimental music/intermedia heroes... we hope you will consider supporting this fundraising effort. Your fully tax-deductible donation of any amount can be crucial for the survival of our programming. You can do this now if you still want to for the 2025 year, or just get an early start for your 2026 donations if you prefer... Donations can be made through the "Donate" button on the landing page of our website: www.experimentalintermedia.org (PayPal) or by sending a check by mail. *And here an overview of our 2025 year:* To begin with, we - actually mainly YOU, thanks to your generous donations - have succeeded in saving all of our DATs! By the beginning of June 2025, our amazing engineer Garry Rindfuss was able to complete the transfer to digital files of all 400 DAT recordings from 20+ years of EIF concerts and events! 2025 also saw Experimental Intermedia's programs continue into their fifty-second year bringing new and exciting artworks into the world. These have promoted the practices of reputed as well as under-represented artists of all generations - from emerging young adults to esteemed elders - of most varied backgrounds and provenances. Our March 2025 presented concerts and screenings at three different New York City locations: Harvestworks, Zürcher Gallery and Various/Artists. Concerts were by Alex Chechile (Providence, RI), Charmaine Lee, MV Carbon, Thessia Machado, and Ranjit Bhatnagar, all NYC-based, along with Eric Letourneau from Montreal, Canada. Screenings were by Benton C Bainbridge (Erie, PA) as well as the 21st annual Screen Compositions event curated by Katherine Liberovskaya featuring works by artists from Ukraine, Austria, England, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Australia and the U.S. In April, Subtropics of Miami (FL), decided to dedicate a weekend to honor Experimental Intermedia - "EI - Subtropics Tribute" a Mini-Festival of Experimental Music and Film: a tribute to Phill Niblock, long time director of Experimental Intermedia a year after his passing, to the centennial, which was this year, of Elaine Summers who founded Experimental Intermedia in 1968, and to the work of Experimental Intermedia over the years. EIF was invited to put together the program that was presented at the Blackbox Theater of the beautiful Deering Estate in Palmetto Bay outside Miami. The recently completed December 2025 Series had eight concerts or screenings over seven evenings at three New York City venues: Various/Artists, Harvestworks, and Fridman Gallery. Concerts included music by Al Margolis and Tom Law (UpState New York), Marcia Basett, Chuck Bettis, Ras Burnett, Tor Snyder, Dave Ross, Kristin Norderval, all NYC-based, Miguel Frasconi (CT), Mariana Carvalho (Berlin, Germany) and Dafne Vicente-Sandoval (Paris, France). A night was dedicated to a retrospective of Scott Kiernan's (NYC) video work. And EIF was especially thrilled to present, in the context of celebrations around her centennial, an evening of the early films of Elaine Summers who founded Experimental Intermedia in 1968, some of which had cinematography by Phill Niblock. All events were in-person and simultaneously video-live-streamed from our website and audio-streamed from Wave Farm's web radio. Video recordings of all the video-live-streams remain on our website and can be viewed by anyone near or far at any time. Experimental Intermedia Foundation also assisted in producing the second edition of Phill Niblock's annual winter Solstice concert without Phill - six hours of music and film - at Roulette NYC on December 21st. In addition, Experimental Intermedia's label XI Records remains active. We are currently working on new releases, planned for 2026, by Julian Knowles and David First. In gratitude, Katherine Liberovskaya, Artistic Director Al Margolis, President and all the members of the EIF Board and team Experimental Intermedia Foundation 224 Centre Street, #3W New York, NY, 10013 U.S.A. www.experimentalintermedia.org For an outline of all the artists who have performed/presented work at Experimental Intermedia NYC since 1973 see: https://experimentalintermedia.org/concerts/

View this email in your browser (https://mailchi.mp/wavefarm.org/june2025-2892903?e=296a2cc47c) https://wavefarm.org/ ** News for December 2025: ------------------------------------------------------------ We are excited to share some major news this month! In May 2024, Wave Farm's WGXC relocated from Hudson to a Catskill storefront right on Main Street. This new location has already been a success story and now we are hoping to expand! The WGXC Catskill studio at 393 Main Street has been a shared space since our relocation, but we are now in a position to be the sole tenant (with your help!). With your support we will build this space as a place for more community programming, workshops, and in-studio performances. WGXC’s Catskill studio has become a grounding place for our station, and on this Giving Tuesday through the end of year, we hope you will consider donating as an investment in community spaces and media (http://wgxc.org/donate) . This month, turn out in person to the Wave Farm/WGXC Holiday Party (https://us2.campaign-archive.com/?e=__test_email__&u=9d607a40fa0db412d064db…) at The Avalon Lounge on December 18th!

This month is the Wave Farm/WGXC holiday party, so join us to hear from WGXC volunteer programmers both on the mic and on the turntables. And, maybe bring a record or track of your own for us to cue up! Theme: holiday music that's unusual, askew, or downright weird. "Breaking the Algorithm IRL" is a monthly series presented by Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM as part of our Local Waves initiative and the show "Local Waves in Conversation." Part conversation led by Mike Amari of Chosen Family and part DJ set by a WGXC volunteer, the series highlights local artists, musicians, venue owners and bookers, and record label owners. ** SPECIAL BROADCASTS ------------------------------------------------------------ https://wavefarm.org/wf/calendar/80h7fz ** The Radio Art Hour: Marine Navigation series produced by Bill Corrigan (https://wavefarm.org/wf/calendar/80h7fz) ------------------------------------------------------------ Marine Navigation 1: Hydroacoustics (https://wavefarm.org/radio/wgxc/schedule/gkcnbb) Saturday, December 6, 2025, 3 - 4 p.m. Marine Navigation 2: Round Trip (https://wavefarm.org/radio/wgxc/schedule/t4606x) Saturday, December 13, 2025, 3 - 4 p.m. Marine Navigation 3: Across the Atlantic (https://wavefarm.org/radio/wgxc/schedule/x8r2hn) Saturday, December 20, 2025, 3 - 4 p.m. WGXC 90.7-FM: Radio for Open Ears 90.7-FM in NY's Upper Hudson Valley and wgxc.org/listen everywhere Radio airspace and seaspace share a problem of mapping and, therefore, of control. In 1609, Hugo Grotius accelerated the project of empire by arguing in his Mare Liberum that the sea and the air were alike in the sense that they could not be permanently occupied and were without limit, and that therefore they should be regarded as a commons. A breach formed between the empty expanse of this ideal landscape and the reality of turbulent waters. Waves of broadcast and of water are linked by more than metaphor: when they meet at the surface they produce interference, which can disrupt navigation. These pieces occur within the pattern of that interference and in the space of the breach. Listen in, and don’t worry if you find yourself getting lost.

Woodstockhausen (https://www.woodstockhausen.net/) is a bi-coastal festival dedicated to experimental music, installation, and audiovisual performance. In 2025, the festival was held in a barn and on a field in Bloomville, NY in July, and in a redwood clearing in Boulder Creek, CA in August. This festival brings local, regional, national, and international artists together to showcase boundary-pushing works, encouraging creative exchange and extra-regional community in an open and generative atmosphere. Recordings produced by Paul Geluso and Ben Krasner. "From Our Transmit Partners" features archival recordings from Wave Farm's institutional and individual Transmit Partners. Wave Farm has a growing list of institutional and individual Wave Farm Transmit Partners who use the Wave Farm Radio app to transmit their own programming.

This piece is an excerpt of a larger work called "Invitations from the Land," which was recorded at WLC’s Israel Wittman Sanctuary in the Zena Highwoods on the winter solstice of 2024. Drawing from field recordings captured at powerful celestial moments like solstices and equinoxes, Zaneta creates immersive sonic worlds where the forest itself becomes both stage and collaborator. Layered within these soundscapes are her sung responses, an intimate practice rooted in her Filipinx heritage and the tradition of singing to the forest passed down by her grandmother. The piece features interviews from residents of the Zena Highwoods, the WLC Land Stewards who maintain Israel Wittman Sanctuary, and WLC’s Program Curator, Miranda Javid. This broadcast invites listeners to slow down, attune to seasonal rhythms, and experience the living dialogue between artist and landscape. ** NEW TO THE WGXC BROADCAST SCHEDULE ------------------------------------------------------------ https://wavefarm.org/radio/wgxc/schedule/tmf9sv ** On the Mic: (https://wavefarm.org/radio/wgxc/schedule/tmf9sv) Eclectic music, discussion, and interviews hosted by 3 teenage girls ------------------------------------------------------------ 1st Wednesdays from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. WGXC 90.7-FM: Radio for Open Ears 90.7-FM in NY's Upper Hudson Valley and wgxc.org/listen everywhere Premiering on Wednesday, December 3 at 4 p.m., "On The Mic" is hosted by Pepper Goldfarb, Anabelle Bissonnette, and Adele Golby. The show contains eclectic music, discussion, and interviews with invited guests. This is a program hosted by 3 teenage girls from Columbia county. ** LOCAL WAVES UPDATES ------------------------------------------------------------ BIG MONTH for Local Waves! With our Open Call this month to any and all local bands/artist who released music in 2025 to send in their work for the Local Waves Library, we have (so far) received 40+ submissions in November alone! While I split this up into 2 months of updates, here is a somewhat random selection of 20 of those releases (all released in 2025): Al Olender (https://alolender.bandcamp.com/) / Al’s heart on sleeve indie songwriter (but with some grit) is on full display with new singles and an album coming in February Birchwing (https://www.instagram.com/birchwing/) / Feel good electro wave from Redhook Bradford Reed (https://bradfordreed.bandcamp.com/album/petal-tones) / Acra’s own, who creates/builds his own instruments and then tames them in surprising and interesting jazz-inflected electronic pieces Breakfast In Fur (https://breakfastinfur.bandcamp.com/album/blue-heaven-2) / in my opinion one of the hudson valley’s best bands in the 2010s, they have been on hiatus for nearly 10 years and out of nowhere dropped this gem of an album. Big twee indie rock vibes, think Galaxie 500 or Belle & Sebastian Brother Jax (https://brotherjax.bandcamp.com/album/end-times) / very cool, tropicalia-tinged indie folk from Kerhonkson Escavela (https://escavela.bandcamp.com/album/iterations-i-tones) / vibey slowly evolving soundscapes from this Beacon artists debut release Jackson Simpson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHjUSC-xKCE) / Finally someone putting some respect on Stewart’s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHjUSC-xKCE) name Karen Schoemer (https://dromedaryrecords.bandcamp.com/album/august) / prolific and wide ranging spoken word punk writer, Karen’s new album is an experiment in form and creation that is not to be missed. Released on the Kingston-based Dromedary Records. Kira McSpice (https://kiramcspice.bandcamp.com/album/the-compartmentalization-of-decay) / dark and witchy folk from (no pun here) South Salem, NY. Very good record, highly recommended for fans of Marissa Nadler or the quieter side of Chelsea Wolfe. Lea Bertucci (https://leabertucci.bandcamp.com/album/the-oracle) / another totally unique and engaging release from this prolific composer, sound experimenter, sometimes minimalist. One of the reviews says “Lea has her own musical language” and that is very true. Mikaela Davis (https://mikaeladavis.bandcamp.com/track/11-11) / a new, one-off track that exemplifies Mikaela’s dreamy americana vibes Miss America (https://missamerica1.bandcamp.com/album/miss-america) / this record rips! Lo-fi, garaging but emotional songs. Red Hook is killing it Most Serene Congress (https://mostserenecongress.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-verbatim) / weird unknowable sounds, improvised spoken word. A Wave Farm / WGXC classic. And it was recorded live at the VERBATIM event near Hunter in October! Sam Shepard (https://samshep.bandcamp.com/track/frozen-dairy) / this song about frozen dairy is giving Ween in the 90s vibes Schmave (https://schmavemusic.bandcamp.com/album/due-knot-throe-would-ore-mettle-inn…) / New Paltz-based band has been around for a minute and every record zigs and zags in new directions. Very playful, spacious indie rock that you can (almost) dance to Schune (https://schune.bandcamp.com/album/schune) / A new project for longtime Setting Sun leader Gary Levitt. Schune is an experiment in that he wrote and recorded these songs without guitar, and that led to new, industrial leaning sounds. Sweet Harm (https://sweetharm.bandcamp.com/album/certain-sun) / the type of sophisticated lo-fi pop punk that only middle-age folks who used to throw DIY shows can make The Veggies (https://theveggieshv.bandcamp.com/album/vitamins-and-minerals) / crunchy and on theme with its bedroom-punk riffs and distorted drum machine Velouria (https://vimeo.com/1083756259) / how is this kid from Columbia County making the best garage pop in the area ? Will Lawrence (https://wtlawrence.bandcamp.com/album/rooftops-in-the-centerfold) / known as a hired hand in some of the best americana bands going today, Philmont’s Will Lawrence also crafts his own beautifully written and performed (almost entirely by him) pastoral chamber folk pieces. -Mike Amari of Chosen Family Presents Local Waves airs every Friday at 8PM. All local artists are encouraged to send music to be added to this ever growing library. Send to music(a)wgxc.org (mailto:music@wgxc.org) with ‘‘Local Waves’ in subject, mp3s (320kps) or Bandcamp download codes are preferred! ** Your Generosity Makes Wave Farm Possible! ------------------------------------------------------------ ** ------------------------------------------------------------ Wave Farm remains tirelessly committed to making the airwaves a participatory medium.
