Events in New York for Phill Niblock in December

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.

Cage, E. Brown, and M. Feldman; each drawing leads towardsand is at the same time the immediate result of a new composition; theimprovised communication between artist, computer and musician creates anenvironment where sound and image combine and conduct each other - what remainsis a witness; a drawing / a video composition capturing the gesture of drawing,melody and rhythm; with David Watson, collaboration http://www.hallveiggkagustsdottir.com/ SCREEN COMPOSITIONS 10 curated by Katherine Liberovskaya Saturday22 AVideo Presentation Screen Compositionscelebrates its 10th edition this year! as always a collection of intersectionsof moving image with sonic art; a program of screen works representing dynamictwo-way collaborations between video/ film artists and sound/ music artistsspecifically intended for single-channel projection with no live or performancecomponent; featuring collaborations by: Carlos Casas / Ghedalia Tazartes;Bradley Eros / Rachael Guma; Kit Fitzgerald / Peter Gordon; Richard Garet /Wolfgang Gil; Sarah Halpern / Matt Wellins; Victoria Keddie / Scott Kiernan;Hedya Klein / Bulbul; Carole Kim / Toshimaru Nakamura + Lewis Keller; KatherineLiberovskaya / Al Margolis (If,Bwana); Marie Verry / Yvan Etienne Our programs are supported by the NewYork State Council on the Arts, The David & Sylvia Teitelbaum Fund, Inc,the Aaron Copland Fund for Music, and the Phaedrus Foundation 224 Centre Street at Grand, ThirdFloor, N Y 10013 9pm 212 431 5127, 4316430 www.experimentalintermedia.org andwww.XIrecords.org

A few - Events for Phill Niblock, January - March 2014 Jan 15 , Klub Katarakt Festival 37 A premier of a newpiece for three orchestras, commisioned by the Katarakt Festival "Three Petals" for the ensembles - Nelly Boyd, Hamburg;Trio Scordatura +, Amsterdam; Neon Ensemble, Oslo Three Petals is originally conceived to be performed by three ensemblesplus pre-recorded playback. The first performance (by the commissioners - Klub Katarakt Festival in Hamburg) will takeplace in separate but contiguous halls. The audience can only hear the completework by walking through the spaces. The piece could also be performed by threeseparated ensembles in one common space (e.g., a concert hall). The first and third ensemble move up a semitonethrough the piece (one from F to F#, the other from C to C#), while the secondensemble remains « stationary » around A. This, theoretically, results in amove, over 24 minutes, from major to minor, albeit blurred by the microtonalcharacter of the totality.
