Monday 24*
Using findings from his psychoacoustic research on the perception of
spectrally complex difference tones, Alex Chechile will perform works from
his On the Sensations of Tone series; the pieces explore expanded layers of
spatial depth created by tones that are generated by the ear and appear
localized within the head; the multichannel works will employ modular
synthesizers and Chechile’s custom Ear Tone Toolbox, and the concert will
be accompanied by an artist/research talk on difference tones and
otoacoustic emissions - http://alexchechile.com

Dear friends of Experimental Intermedia,
This January 8th is the 1 year anniversary of the passing of our beloved
director of many years Phill Niblock.
To mark this anniversary we will live-stream on the Experimental Intermedia
website via our YouTube account a real-time burning candle in front of the
urn containing Phill's ashes from 00:00 to 23:59 EST (New York time) on
January 8th 2025.
Do visit our website to find the link on our homepage if you wish to share
a moment of silence in remembrance of Phill during this 24-hour modest
memorial:

Onward, upward, and memory eternal PN,
The Experimental Intermedia team

Dear Friends of Experimental Itermedia,
Last 2024 chance to *SAVE THE *DAT*(S) !*
Just a friendly reminder that these are the last days in 2024 for fully
tax-deductible donations of any amount *specifically for help with the
preservation of the portion of the Experimental Intermedia archive
consisting of some 400 DATs, recorded between1986 and 2009, which could
completely deteriorate if nothing is done soon.*
EIF is around the corner from getting through its first full year of
activities post-Phill Niblock, not without many difficulties, under the
curation of new Artistic Director Katherine Liberovskaya and the help of a
number of invaluable assistants. While we are looking ahead and
contemplating various approaches to continue, and perhaps modify, EIF's
programs into the future, we also face the important challenge of finding a
worthy home for the extensive EIF archive.
Experimental Intermedia Foundation, founded in 1968 by Elaine Summers, has
been presenting performances as of 1973. Since that time, Phill Niblock has
produced and curated over 1500 concerts at his NYC loft, opening his doors
to hundreds of composers, providing them with a place to explore the use of
new ideas and technologies in their music. His original plan had been to
choose 20 composers whose work interested him and then present them every
year, giving an audience a chance to observe how their careers evolved over
time. But each year the numbers grew and soon Experimental Intermedia was
producing 35 to 50 concerts a year.
What has made the Experimental Intermedia series different from other
concert series is that each evening was typically focused on only one
artist's music, as opposed to a musician or ensemble playing the works of
many different composers.
Archiving these concerts has been a primary concern for Experimental
Intermedia, and each concert since 1978 has been recorded on audio and, as
of the 1980s, video. The goal was, on the one hand, to provide the
performing artists with high quality recordings of their work, on the other
to constitute a physical historical record of work presented at EIF that
could eventually find a home in an institution that would make the material
available to the general public and for archival research. From 1973
through the late 80s the recordings were analog, and after that, in digital
formats. From the late 80s to the mid 2000s the audio format EIF used was
DATs.
Since 2017-18 there has been quite a bit of interest in EIF's archive from
different institutions, even one informal agreement for it to be taken
leading us to believe that it would be off our hands by 2020. But then the
pandemic halted everything... to not ever come back to how anything was
pre-Covid. And thus, here we are 8 years later with no concrete
developments with any previous interested parties, no confirmation for the
archive going anywhere... A stand-still.
And the problem is that the entire audio archive from the late 80's to
2008-09 is all on DAT. Some 400 DATs. (See below the impressive list of all
artists presented by EIF between 1986 and 2009, most recorded on DAT,
except for screenings or other non-music). And DAT tapes are notoriously
unstable. They degrade over time. That means you can't rely on them as a
long-term preservation tool. In fact, DAT tapes can degrade completely in
just 20 years. When you bear in mind that the earliest DAT tapes date back
to 1986. And recordings made at that time are now nearly 40 years old. So,
they may already have begun to deteriorate. Digitizing them as quickly as
possible is vital and urgent to prevent their contents from being lost
forever.
Now EIF has been given a very generous estimate for their transfer to
digital from a local sound engineer (who was one of Phill’s favorites), and
we would like to move forward on this process as soon as possible.
To this end we are hoping to raise $8,000.00 to cover the cost of this
process.
But whatever we can raise we will use to start the process of transferring
little by little, and seek more funds to continue later.
So, 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 heroes... we hope you will consider supporting this
fundraising effort. Your fully tax-deductible donation of any amount can be
crucial for SAVING THE DAT(S) or at least some of the DATs !
Donations can be made through the "Donate" button on the landing page of
our website:
https://experimentalintermedia.org (PayPal) or by sending a check by mail.
Many thanks to all who have donated so far which has allowed us to already
start transferring the first 50 DATs of the Experimental Intermedia NYC
archive (the oldest DATs from the 80s and early 90s).
In gratitude,
The Elaine Summers Experimental Intermedia Foundation

Dear Friends,
Wishing you the happiest of holiday seasons and upcoming 2025 New Year!
As 2024 comes to its end we once more turn to you for any change you might
be able to spare to help us continue our activities, *this year
specifically to continue Saving the DATs!* that risk deterioration if not
dealt with quickly. Thanks to your generous support in response to our
Giving Tuesday SAVE THE DATs! appeal at the beginning of this month, the
first 50 DATs of the Experimental Intermedia archive of its concert
recordings (the oldest DATs from the 80s and early 90s) are being
transferred to digital files by a trusted sound engineer as you read
this... thus preserving their invaluable cultural and historic content for
posterity. *There are however some 350 more DATs to go and we still need to
raise around $ 6,500.00 to be able to get them all transferred.*
So again, we ask, 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 heroes... we hope you will consider supporting this
fundraising effort. Your fully tax-deductible donation of any amount can be
crucial for SAVING THE DAT(S) or at least some of the DATs !
You can do this now if you still want to for the 2024 year, or just get an
early start for your 2025 donations if you prefer...
Donations can be made through the "Donate" button on the landing page of
our website:
https://experimentalintermedia.org (PayPal) or by sending a check by mail.
*An overview of our 2024 year:*
In the very beginning of 2024 our beloved director and curator since the
1980s Phill Niblock passed away leaving a tremendous void for all of us.
Nevertheless, Experimental Intermedia's programs have continued into their
fifty-first year, under the new artistic directorship of long time
curatorial collaborator Katherine Liberovskaya.
This past year Experimental Intermedia Foundation was again able to present
artists in several different contexts, bringing new and exciting works into
the world.
Our March 2024 Series presented eight in-person evenings of concerts or
screenings held at five different New York City locations: Zürcher Gallery,
Harvestworks, WhiteBox, Emily Harvey Foundation and ISSUE Project Room.
Concerts were by Dave Seidel, Kaffe Matthews, Sarah Bernstein, Lary 7 and
William Hooker, and screenings by Joan Jonas, a series of experimental
portraits of Phill Niblock by Rina Sherman, Loré Lixenberg, Maurits Wouters
and Gilles Paté, as well as the 20th annual Screen Compositions event
curated by Katherine Liberovskaya.
The recently completed December 2024 Series had eight concerts or
screenings over seven evenings at four New York City venues: Emily Harvey
Foundation, Harvestworks, WhiteBox and Zürcher Gallery. Artists presented
included Reg Bloor, C. Spencer Yeh, Kevin Ramsay + Yuma Uesaka, Nina
Sobell, Zoe Beloff, Jenn Grossman, Ian Douglas-Moore + Dominic Coles, Hans
Tammen + Marcus Cummins + Shelley Hirsch.
All events were in-person and simultaneously live-streamed from our website
and audio-streamed via Wave Farm's web radio. Video recordings of all the
events remain on our website and can be viewed by anyone near or far at any
time.
Experimental Intermedia Foundation also assisted in producing the first
edition of Phill Niblock's annual winter Solstice concert without Phill at
Roulette NYC on December 21st.
In addition, Experimental Intermedia's label XI Records remains active. In
2024 it released a 2-CD set by Matt Rogalsky "Visitations and
Revisitations". And we are currently working on a new release by Julian
Knowles scheduled to be out in 2025.
In gratitude,
Experimental Intermedia Foundation

Wednesday 11*
Frantic solo guitar mix of dissonant No Wave, Out Jazz, and screechy Metal
delivered with high energy, inventive chords, and angular atonality, not to
mention an impish sense of humor - https://regbloor.com/
*C. Spencer Yeh (NYC) - at Zürcher Gallery
Wednesday 11*
Solo improvisations with violin, electronics, voice; Over the years I'd
find myself constricting the moves I'd employ and deploy, in the pursuit of
some kind of advanced strategy in lieu of conventional music know-how; You
know, the whole "I'm going to stop doing that thing I always do" -- pushing
against innate manic cadences and nervous tendencies while abandoning
genuine headway; While I would find myself eventually painted into a corner
again (and still feeling dissatisfied), in time I'd drawn up a nice big map
of many trails to many corners; So now I just take that map and fold it
over itself, see where to go - https://linktr.ee/dronedisco
*Kevin Ramsay ** + Yuma Uesaka (NYC) - at Harvestworks
Thursday 12*
Duo Daxophone / Electronics (Kevin Ramsay) and Contrabass Clarinet (Yuma

spontaneous improvisation with noise - https://kevinramsaysound.com/ -

*Nina Sobell (NYC) - at EHF
Friday 13*
Travel with us through Nina Sobell’s video explorations which interweave
various aspects of this multidisciplinary artist’s 50+ year practice;
integrating elements of consciousness, perception, connection,
communication, play, interactivity, collaboration, sculpture, drawing,
brainwaves, telepathy, natural energies, senses, sound waves,
documentation, autobiography, electronics, emerging technologies, glitch
and performance, Sobell's unique series of video fusions defy
categorization - https://www.ninasobell.com/
*Zoe Beloff (NYC) - at EHF
Saturday 14*
Three works - a dialog across time, the past constructed in the present; A
brief presentation of “Beyond” (1997) an interactive work, a sketchbook for
everything that I had yet to do; “Charming Augustine” (2005), a 16mm
stereoscopic film explores the origins of narrative cinema in the
documentation of psychic disturbance; “Exile” (2017) the film finds
philosopher Walter Benjamin and playwright Bertolt Brecht still in exile
here in New York at the beginning of the first Trump administration -

*Jenn Grossman (NYC) - at Harvestworks
Monday 16*
A night of (im)material resonance -- First, a live performance rendition of
her multichannel sound object installation: Fenestra (Transparencies), made
of acrylic panels and surface transducers; We listen through physical
surfaces, like a sonic skin, a connective membrane; Followed by a screening
of recent audiovisual collage work; ephemeral, transportive -

Ian Douglas-Moore (guitar/electronics) and Dominic Coles (electronics) will
present music in solo and duo configurations; These new works operate at

Dear Experimental Intermedia community,
*SAVE THE DAT(S) !*
On this Giving Tuesday we reach out to you with a fundraising appeal
*specifically
for help with the preservation of the portion of the Experimental
Intermedia archive consisting of some 400 DATs, recorded between1986 and
2009, which could completely deteriorate if nothing is done soon.*
EIF is around the corner from getting through its first full year of
activities post-Phill Niblock, not without many difficulties, under the
curation of new Artistic Director Katherine Liberovskaya and the help of a
number of invaluable assistants. While we are looking ahead and
contemplating various approaches to continue, and perhaps modify, EIF's
programs into the future, we also face the important challenge of finding a
worthy home for the extensive EIF archive.
Experimental Intermedia Foundation, founded in 1968 by Elaine Summers, has
been presenting performances as of 1973. Since that time, Phill Niblock has
produced and curated over 1500 concerts at his NYC loft, opening his doors
to hundreds of composers, providing them with a place to explore the use of
new ideas and technologies in their music. His original plan had been to
choose 20 composers whose work interested him and then present them every
year, giving an audience a chance to observe how their careers evolved over
time. But each year the numbers grew and soon Experimental Intermedia was
producing 35 to 50 concerts a year.
What has made the Experimental Intermedia series different from other
concert series is that each evening was typically focused on only one
artist's music, as opposed to a musician or ensemble playing the works of
many different composers.
Archiving these concerts has been a primary concern for Experimental
Intermedia, and each concert since 1978 has been recorded on audio and, as
of the 1980s, video. The goal was, on the one hand, to provide the
performing artists with high quality recordings of their work, on the other
to constitute a physical historical record of work presented at EIF that
could eventually find a home in an institution that would make the material
available to the general public and for archival research. From 1973
through the late 80s the recordings were analog, and after that, in digital
formats. From the late 80s to the mid 2000s the audio format EIF used was
DATs.
Since 2017-18 there has been quite a bit of interest in EIF's archive from
different institutions, even one informal agreement for it to be taken
leading us to believe that it would be off our hands by 2020. But then the
pandemic halted everything... to not ever come back to how anything was
pre-Covid. And thus, here we are 8 years later with no concrete
developments with any previous interested parties, no confirmation for the
archive going anywhere... A stand-still.
And the problem is that the entire audio archive from the late 80's to
2008-09 is all on DAT. Some 400 DATs. (See below the impressive list of all
artists presented by EIF between 1986 and 2009, most recorded on DAT,
except for screenings or other non-music). And DAT tapes are notoriously
unstable. They degrade over time. That means you can't rely on them as a
long-term preservation tool. In fact, DAT tapes can degrade completely in
just 20 years. When you bear in mind that the earliest DAT tapes date back
to 1986. And recordings made at that time are now nearly 40 years old. So,
they may already have begun to deteriorate. Digitizing them as quickly as
possible is vital and urgent to prevent their contents from being lost
forever.
Now EIF has been given a very generous estimate for their transfer to
digital from a local sound engineer (who was one of Phill’s favorites), and
we would like to move forward on this process as soon as possible.
To this end we are hoping to raise $8,000.00 to cover the cost of this
process.
But whatever we can raise we will use to start the process of transferring
little by little, and seek more funds to continue later.
So, 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 heroes... we hope you will consider supporting this
fundraising effort. Your fully tax-deductible donation of any amount can be
crucial for SAVING THE DAT(S) or at least some of the DATs !
