Live performers are Hamilton Berry, cello, and Tony Malaby, saxophonehttps://www.ritwikbanerji.netAki Onda (USA, Japan) Thursday 12"Reflections and Repercussions" 2018, a multi-media performance exploring the interplay among luminosity, acoustic, and architectural relationships within the space.; performing with various types of lighting equipment such as theater lights, flashlights, bare light bulb, mirrors and other objects, I arrange and rearrange the tools composing the visual and aural as a total environment; the complex relationship between the concrete and the ephemeral is explored https://akionda.net/Paul Devens (Maastricht Netherlands) Friday 13An artist working in the field of composed sounds, architecture, acoustics and he researches history and social structures; he will perform a couple of new pieces, based upon improvisation and experimental technologies; electro- magnetic and conductive fields will be used to mix pre-recorded synthesized sounds into a new composition, recorded noises of air conditioning systems and fans in public space will feature in a soundscape and other experiments will be performed live at the concert; also another new work will be performed: with artist Eline Kersten, Devens developed a work featuring found coral skeletons from the Caribbean island of Curacao; with digital imageprocessing- and sonification techniques, the work addresses the collision between ecology and economy, Supported by IBB Curacao and the Mondriaan Fundhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Devens https://www.pauldevens.comGudinni Cortina (Mexico) and Mario De Vega (Mexico, Berlin) Sunday 15Overtones, interruptions and concrete sounds melted as an audio-visual setup; a dialog executed by two players with different vocabularies and intentions, including a third role: A messenger; present, admiring devotion and commitment http://mariodevega.info http://gudinni-cortina.com/João Castro Pinto and Sofia A. Carvalho (Portugal) Monday 16SPECTRUM EXTENSO is an audiovisual intermedia performance, which is a work-in-progress, that consists in a reflection centered on the work of the Portuguese poet Teixeira de Pascoaes (1877-1952); João Castro Pinto will process sounds and images, in real time, and also excerpts of several of the more impressive and profound poems, interpreted live by Sofia A. Carvalho; the sound and visual landscapes will be juxtaposed with words, phrases and variable duration vocal utterances, that will wander through the live electroacoustic processes, turning the primary meaning of the poet1s words into new levels of signification and therefore creating impromptu audiovisual sceneryhttp://www.agnosia.me https://lisboa.academia.edu/SofiaAlexandraCarvalhoAndrea Parkins (New York, Berlin)https://soundcloud.com/jcastropinto https://grimaceseditions.org/hiante-2/Wednesday 18presents a new long-form work for multi-diffusion fixed media, incorporating her live interventions on electronically- processed accordion, amplified objects, and electronic processing; her works feature subtle sonic examination of everyday objects and surfaces, the layering of extended accordion techniques with multi-pitched electronic feedbacks, and the investigation of embodiment and chance with her custom-designed virtual instruments; this new project addresses her sonic materials both past and present: amplified drawing tools, electronic and acoustic instruments, the- body-as-foley, objects, images, gesture-presence-absence https://soundcloud.com/andreaparkinsAnnabelle Playe (France) Thursday 19Sound is a physical experience: density, intensity, variations and saturation; GEYSER, composed in three parts, deploys an energy with strong contrasts around sound shots sometimes stripped, sometimes massive; clear sounds, pure timbres switch to distortion evoking the subterranean eruption and the release of tension; her live music is based on a device made of analog synthesizers; sound is weaving between electronic and electroacoustic music, some of them made from different sources (voices, concrete sounds) are processed, put into spaces and mixed to analog http://www.annabelleplaye.com https://vimeo.com/201441665 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NKZaaF0tKcOur programs are supported by The David & Sylvia Teitelbaum Fund, Inc, the Aaron Copland Fund for Music, the Phaedrus Foundation, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature224 Centre Street at Grand, Third Floor, N Y 10013 212 431 5127, 431 6430 www.experimentalintermedia.org and www.XIrecords.org9pmXI CDs are now available for sale on the www.XI Records.org website: Phill Niblock - Four Full Flutes (XI 101); Lois V Vierk - Simoom (XI 102); Guy Klucevsek - Flying Vegetables Of The Apocalypse (XI 104); David Behrman - Unforeseen Events (XI 105); Tom Johnson - Music For 88 (XI 106); Mary Jane Leach - Celestial Fires (XI 107); Fast Forward - Same Same (XI 108); Ellen Fullman - Body Music (XI 109); Jackson Mac Low - Open Secrets (XI 110); Phill Niblock - Music By Phill Niblock (XI 111); Allison Cameron - Raw Sangudo (XI 112); Daniel Goode - Clarinet Songs (XI 113); Mary Ellen Childs - Kilter (XI 114); Richard Lainhart - Ten Thousand Shades Of Blue (XI 115); Peter Zummo - Experimenting With Household Chemicals (XI 116); Logos Duo - Logos Works (XI 117); Annea Lockwood/Ruth Anderson - Sinopah (XI 118); Eliane Radigue - Trilogie De La Mort (XI 119); Malcolm Goldstein - The Seasons: Vermont (XI 120); Phill Niblock - YPGPN (XI 121); Paul Panhuysen - Partitas For Long Strings (XI 122); Tom Johnson - The Chord Catalogue (XI 123); Ellen Band - 90% Post Consumer Sound (XI 124); Philip Corner - 40 Years And One (XI 125); Gen Ken Montgomery - Pondfloorsample (XI 126); Michael J.

Working Photos compiles still photography, video, and minimalist sound works created all over the world throughout his six-decade career. The gallery will feature many of Niblock’s photographs scored by his drone compositions, editioned prints of his images from around the world, and layered photographs and video works such as Light Patterns, a series of high-contrast black and white slides that slowly dissolve into one another, suggesting the fluidity of memory and place. The gallery will also screen his videos including The Magic Sun (1966) featuring Sun Ra and his Solar Arkestra, a 1986 collaborative video project with Arthur Russell, as well as works featuring Rhodri Davies, and Max Neuhaus. His series, Anecdotes (Stories from Childhood) (1985–1992) will present video portraits of individuals looking into the camera lens and candidly relating childhood memories, which range from the sensational to the abstract. The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of performances at Fridman Gallery: November 26 8:00pm Music and Images by Phill Niblock, Film from the Environments Series of the Late Sixties and Early Seventies and Niblock's music featuring some prominent live players - Robert Poss, David First, James Moore and David Watson (also on bagpipes), on guitar December 6 8:00pm Images by Phill Niblock and Music by Others (William Hooker and Neil Leonard, live) plus Images by Katherine Liberovskaya and Sound by Phill Niblock More to be announced, on January 4 and 5 Niblock will also host a series of concerts throughout the month of December at his nearby historic Experimental Intermedia loft at 224 Centre Street. Finally, on December 21st, Niblock will stage his annual Winter Solstice marathon concert at Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn. Phill Niblock (b. 1933, Anderson, IN) is an intermedia artist using music, film, photography, video, and computers as his medium. The artist’s minimalistic drone approach to composition and music was inspired by the musical and artistic activities of New York in the 1960s, from the art of Mark Rothko, Carl Andre, Sol LeWitt, Donald Judd, and Robert Morris to the music of John Cage and Morton Feldman. Over the past six decades, his music and intermedia performances have been shown at numerous venues around the world, including the Tate Modern in London, The Museum of Modern Art, The Kitchen, The Institute of Contemporary Art in London, and World Music Institute at Merkin Hall. Since 1985, Niblock has been the director of the Experimental Intermedia Foundation in New York where he has been an artist and member since 1968. He is the producer of Music and Intermedia presentations at Experimental Intermedia since 1973 (with 1000 performances to date) and the curator of EI’s XI Records label. Niblock’s music is available on the XI, Moikai, Mode and Touch labels. He is the recipient of the prestigious 2014 Foundation for Contemporary Arts John Cage award.

they each have individual practices that began in the late 1980s/early1990s; they started collaborating in 2015 with a project at the Errant Bodiesproject space in Berlin and have since performed at Ftarri (Tokyo), the ArtGallery of Ontario and Array Music (Toronto); their strategies include:Shifting singulars into plural; adding ad infinitum, butthen distilling until densities emerge; some humour tinged withpathos; taking the word ‘concern’ seriously, yet steeped in explorations thatretain a notion of play; rerouting, reinjecting, responding; finding edges;mining particularities; rippled resonances; subtle alterations of tension andattention; moored, anchored even, yet nimble, and at times furtive http://marlahlady.com/ http://christofmigone.com/ ClaudiaRobles (Colombia/Germany) Monday 10 Her work and research cover different aspects ofvisual and sound art, which span from audiovisual fixed-media compositions toperformances and/or installations featuring the interaction with biomedicalsignals; on this occasion, she presents some of her audiovisual compositionsand the performance SKIN - a piece in which she interacts with sounds andimages through her skin’s moisture measured by a GSR (Galvanic Skin Response)interface; variations of values in skin moisture are an indication ofpsychological or physiological arousal, such as stress or relaxation; thevisual environment of SKIN is therefore created by microscopic images from theperformer’s skin recorded in real-time whilst the sound environment istransformed by the performer’s emotional states through the measurement of herskin’s moisture www.claudearobles.de RobertPoss (New York) Tuesday 11 Distortion,drones, dystopia, optimism and a layer cake of electronics; Poss will presentnew and old pieces for electric guitar including from his recent release Frozen Flowers Curse The Day;Jennifer Coates will provide a painterly visual accompaniment https://www.robertposs.com/ http://www.jenniferlcoates.com/ Laura Ortman (WhiteMountain Apache, New York City) Wednesday 12 Fromthe rosined-out beast of Ortman’s tough stained violin emerges derangedcrumpled wings twirling in starlight and oil slickness and shininess; bearingheavy use of amplification and effects, she also incorporates over-rosining toadd smoke, dust, wind and slow-motion grittiness in her scored / improvisedcompositions for amplified violin, Apache violin, whistles, tree branches,slides, guitar picks, bells and tuning fork;

Panthalassa:Dream Music of the Once and Future Ocean combines recorded and liveprepared accordion to conjure the voice of the primordial Earth-wide ocean, amesmerizing dreamscape of shimmering just-intonation harmonies and sliding,moaning melodies that carry the listener deep into an otherworldly abyss www.benrichtermusic.com http://infrequentseams.bandcamp.com/album/panthalassa-dream-music-of-the-on… Matt Rogalsky (Canada) Friday 14 Visitations andRevisitations;

this preset will open an eveningof new pieces for multi-mic'ed bassoon, quadraphonic speakers and otherperipherals; the crossover terrain of timbre and pitch, the inherent dissonancebetween harmonics of any two consonances, and the tensions between lunar andsolar cycles all play a part in the performance, the whole interspersed withminiature acoustic improvisations http://leslieross.net/otherT.html TimShaw and John Bowers (UK) Tuesday 18 Since2015, they have beendeveloping a creative practice they have come to call ‘mythogeosonics’;Mythogeosonics works with an extended conception of field recording toincorporate such diverse practices as geophysical data sonification andparanormal investigation; think of all the fields: radio, magnetic, electric,esoteric; we cross between on-site investigation, installation-making,soundwalks, and an improvisatory performance practice combining soundscapes,documentary recordings, film, text, and process material using modularsynthesizers, resonant found objects, DIY software and self-made instruments;think of all the ways that the mythogeosonic can be heard, witnessed,appreciated and transformed;

Hein (Berlin) Sunday 4 The trumpet player andguitarist will follow a philosophical question and play a conceptualcomposition - What is skeptic improvisation? The question of what itmeans to be skeptical about improvisation and to be an improvising skeptic willbe followed; it is the scepticism of the musicians regarding destiny, habitus,certainties, playing and the sense-games of musical action; the compositionserves to irritate the players and their certainties; it is about the challengeof thinking, the aesthetic thinking about thinking with the means ofimprovised music,, playing around and with the limits of musicalthought; revolving around the impossibility of an hyperbolic skepsis,watching the certainties arise on their own, which Nietzsche and Wittgensteinunderstood as an inherent feature of (musical) grammar; the aim is theidiosyncratic aesthetics of the sceptic musical act http://natewooley.com/ https://nicolahein.com/ AbigailChild (New York) A Video Event Thursday 15 “A BRACE OF SHAKES”—Aselection of short films (16mm and digital) from across three decades,exhibiting "a playful musicality and poetic and rigorouscompression…working against the manufactured ambush that images have in store;”Child has long created a subtle form of agitprop, exploringissues of gender and class through montage, with a fearless sense ofstructure and unself-conscious delight in the visual;

it is proposed herewith the transfer of a distant world to the moment of your listening and gazeonto the present; I have traveled the World and captured 32 short visualsequences and recorded and retained 37 audio situations; with theseelements I have composed a set juxtaposing/superimposing images and musicindependently from each other, leaving the freedom of interpretation betweensight and sound up to the spectator; it is by this perceptible process that thegift of ubiquity is acquired ttps://pierremarietan.wordpress.com/ RencontreArchitecturemusiqueecologie.co ScreenCompositions 14, curated by Katherine Liberovskaya A Video Event Monday 19 For the 14th year, Screen Compositions bringsyou, as every time, a collection of intersections of moving image with sonicart;
