she is continuouslyexploring sound and music as physical phenomena, always pushing back theboundaries in experimental performances and compositions that questionestablished notions, improving the available techniques and given structures;Liberovskaya has been exploring improvised live visuals in the context of livemusic/sound concert situations since the early 2000s, collaborating withnumerous music and sound artists; her live visuals seek to create improvisatory"music" for the eyes; they span a wide variety of approaches fromstraightforward real-time montage and processing of pre-recorded material tothe use of diverse kinds of live cameras to capture live "events" onthe concert stage and integrate them to the image mix;

not really bad dreams but also not the dreams of the bestworlds; the first dream is this dream where your body is too slow for reachingthe aim, everybody knows that; the second is a wild story where all kind ofconnections and happenings are possible and the third one is the one that israther relaxing and meditative www.junkowada.de www.hanspeterkuhn.com Johan Vandermaelen (Belgium) Tuesday20 About the weather - a spatial installation about the unremarkable slowprocesses and sounds that surround us;

The Super Groupis a electro-acoustic and visual immersive project Montgomery conceived toexplore graphic notation. It features the incredible talent of artists andperformers he has been fortunate to know in the 35 years he has been involvedin the New York Experimental and Underground music scene. The Super Groupcontinues his work with the spatialization of sound that began with hisoctophonic concert compositions under the tutelage of Berlin composer ConradSchnitzler in the 1980s. He first presented these 8-channel electronic musicconcerts at Generator, the sound art gallery he founded in 1989 in NYC, and hascontinued to work with multi-channel sound since. Music/sound and film/video artists TBA. OptoSonic Tea is an on-going series of periodicmeetings or salons, started in 2006 by Katherine Liberovskaya and UrsulaScherrer, dedicated to the convergence of live visuals with live sound whichfocuses primarily on the visual component. These presentation-and-discussionmeetings aim to explore different forms of live visuals (live video, live film,live slide projection and their variations and combinations) and the differentways they can come into interaction with live audio. The live presentations arefollowed by a discussion about the artists' practices over a cup of green tea. ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ The EI programs are supported by The David &Sylvia Teitelbaum Fund, Inc, the Aaron Copland Fund for Music, the PhaedrusFoundation, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support ofGovernor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature And acouple of concerts by Phill Niblock, not at EI: January 9, Saturday, 7:30, Maurits Wouters'documentary of Phill Niblock at Iliya Fridman's gallery in Soho, and a concertby Phill Niblock, with the three newest pieces of music and recent videos A NY premier of First Out, with David First,guitar; V&LSG, with Lore Lixenberg, voice and Guy De Bievre, lap steelguitar; DreGliss, with Erik Drescher, glissando flute Fridman Gallery, 287 Spring Street, N Y NY 10013, between Varickand Hudson (646) 345-9831 http://www.fridmangallery.com January19, Tuesday 9:00pm, - LOCK iT DOWN, at The Sump, 1563 Decatur St, Ridgewood Queens, NY11385, curated by David Watson PhillNiblock music, playing Bag, for bagpipes, with David Watson, and other pieces;and maybe other acts

Combining minimalistmusic, conceptual art, structuralist cinema, systematic or political art,Niblock strives to transform our perception and experience of time. Admittedly one of the greatest experimentalcomposers of our time, Phill Niblock initiates his career as a photographer.Born in 1933 in Anderson - Indiana, a jazz aficionado, he settles in New Yorkin 1958. Niblock starts photography in 1960 and for four years specialises inportraits of jazz musicians such as Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and DukeEllington, whom he follows frequently to recording sessions and concerts. Inthe mid-60s, he shifts from photography to film, and encouraged by ElaineSummers, choreographer and founder of the “Experimental Intermedia”, he startsrealising films for dancers and choreographers at the Judson Church Theater, includingYvonne Rainer, Meredith Monk or Lucinda Childs. From 1968 on, Phill Niblockfocuses on music and composes his first pieces, which – according to the artist– must be listened to at loud volume in order to explore their overtones. Hepursues his film projects independently, including his monumental piece, The Movement of People Working, aseries of films lasting over 25 hours, realised between 1973 and 1991, in whichthe repetitive nature of work movements acts as a direct echo to his minimalistmusical compositions. Since the mid-60s, his analogue photographicwork explores New York’s architecture and urban planning. The sequencing andlayout of his images offer a mapping of the location and object photographed,such as abandoned buildings on Welfare Island (now Roosevelt Island) (1966),the areas fallen into disuse in South Bronx (1979) or the facades of SoHoBroadway district (1988). Starting in 1966, Phill Niblock engages in areflexion about the projection of moving images through a series of films andslideshows. Produced between 1966 and 1969, Six Films, a series of short films with sound realised with 16mmfilm, heralds his experimental method through portraits of artists andmusicians such as Sun Ra and Max Neuhaus. His obsession for and celebration ofthe individual is again at the heart of his series of videos entitled Anecdotes from Childhood. Realisedbetween 1985 and 1992, this series explores the notion of memory and theexpression of a personal history through intimate portraits. Starting in 1968, the artist begins toexperiment a combination of his visual productions with his musical scores inorder to create architectural and environmental compositions with sound. The Environments series, recreated hereby the artist for the first time since it was last shown in 1972, extractsthrough images the reality of several environments, all the while generating adense and intense temporary environment of projected images, music and movementthroughout the museum space. Presented for the first time in its entirety,re-edited and remastered by the artist for the retrospective, the series offilms The Movement of People Working portrayhuman labour in its most elementary form. Filmed on 16mm colour film, and lateron video, in locations including Peru, Mexico, Hungary, Hong Kong, the Arctic,Brazil, Lesotho, Portugal, Sumatra, China and Japan – with more than 25 hoursof film footage, The Movement ofPeople Working focuses on work as a choreography of movements andgestures, dignifying the mechanical yet natural repetition of labourers’actions. Phill Niblock said of these that The Movement of People Working «came out of necessity because Iwas doing music performances with live dancers, and it was too cumbersome andexpensive to tour with so many people. So I started doing those films that Icould project when performing». These films are accompanied by the wholecorpus of Niblock’s slowly evolving, harmonically minimalist music, realisedbetween 1968 and 2011. The sound level of these compositions offers a visceralexperience of the long drones and inhabits the ringing, beating overtones.These scores, presented in the exhibition as photostats realized for hispersonal exhibition at London’s ICA in 1982, are the composer’s mixinginstructions and are not used by the musician during the performance. Whilemoving through space, he plays with the recorded material, sometimes creatingtonalities that coincide with the recording or, on the contrary, that producedissonances. The result is a constant movement of beat, rhythm and pulsation,as well as changing and continuous harmonics during his own motion throughspace. The layering of tones echoes the repetitions of the workers’ actions;the evolution of the films on each screen (changing throughout the day),combined with a program that randomly plays back different music pieces,results in a constant renewal of forms, continuously offering an exhibition ofnew juxtapositions of sound and image. The Movement ofPeople Working offers a strong social and political comment, ashighlighted by the title and represented by the closeness with the workers. Inthis, the series of film echoes the work of several filmmakers including JeanLuc Godard or Chris Marker who as from 1967 gave workers the cameras andinformed them of cinematic techniques so that they could actually make theirown films. In a fascinating turn of events, rather than doing fictional or puredocumentary film, some workers formed the Groupes Medvekine and decided to filmthemselves working. This retrospective was first shown in LausanneSwitzerland in 2013, co-produced by the Musée de l’Elysée and the CentreCircuit for Contemporary Art - Lausanne, and was curated by Mathieu Copeland.

Events in New York for Phill Niblock in December
by Phill Niblock 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

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.
