Gen Ken Montgomery's Super Group - audio-visualscored improvisation
For the first time since it's creation in 2015 atMOMA/PS1 Allgold Printshop: Gen Ken Montgomery's Super Group. 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.
