We are excited to announce the upcoming CYFEST 15: Vulnerability opening in April at CREA—One Contemporary Art Space, Venice, Italy.

The (anti)fragility of biological, social and cyberspaces, personal memories, and scientific imagination, the facsimile of rain, artistic exploration of non-human co-authorship, and a connection between knitting patterns and Mandelbrot sets all converge in our new major group exhibition.

The program features installation, performance, and discursive formats. Key commissions include the multi-disciplinary project Drop Tracer, studying nonhuman agencies and the relationship between images and the natural world by Tuula Närhinen. Ann Marie Maes’ bacterial-grown skins investigate the sculptural potential of organic materials and interfaces between the human and the non-human, the macroscopic and the microscopic. Pioneers of science art, Where Dogs Run collective, look at the terms of the Mandelbrot sets as expressed through knitting patterns in a live performative installation. Mariateresa Sartori, through the frottage technique, gives value to the unseen geology and casts light upon the little-known story of the quarry in Rosà, Vicenza. Elena Gubanova and Ivan Govorkov’s media installation recreates the concept of Time Density developed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kozyrev. This exhibition also features rarely exhibited monotypes «Re-Pressions» by the acclaimed Armenian artist Samvel Baghdasaryan (1956-2017), experimental video art works by Fabrizio Plessi, inflatable fabric sculptures by Irina Korina, architectural and urbanistic objects made of recycled LEDs by Alexandra Dementieva, newly commitioned installation by Anna Frants and much more.

The full list of artists include: Samvel Baghdasaryan, Ludmila Belova, Max Blotas, Alexandra Dementieva, Alexey Dymdymarchenko, Yvetta Fedorova, Anna Frants, Elena Gubanova & Ivan Govorkov, Irina Korina, Natalia Lyakh, AnneMarie Maes, Phill Niblock & Katherine Liberovskaya, Tuula Närhinen, Nao Nishihara, Fabrizio Plessi, Mariateresa Sartori, Monica Naranjo Uribe, Where Dogs Run.

Phill Niblock RIP
“Master of Minimalism”

Phill was one of those it is hard to imagine the world without. Always working, moving, chatting, asking, (“Hey! – What’s happening!”… a declaration not a question), his extraordinary energy belied his slowly evolving work. He lived a long life doing what he loved, releasing records for over 7 decades (who else can claim that? Not many…), Phill holds a unique place in the history of recorded music, and it was an honour to work with him for a good chunk of that time. He was a superb film-maker and photographer. Ask for a photo for his new album, he would submit a full folio (here are some unused ones below). Ask for 20 minutes of sound and he’d send 3 hours. Deeply rooted in an analogue sensibility and its acoustic, digital formats were a godsend to Phill. Our last collaboration “Working Touch” came on a USB stick with 22GB of material – Phill considered this to be his valediction. Of his generation, perhaps only Morton Subotnik (90), LaMonte Young (88), & Alvin Curran (at a sprightly 85) are around to hold the candle and show that the way things used to be done are increasingly, not less valid. Rest in peace, Phill – and thank you. We’ll be listening for the sounds as they come through the clouds. [Mike & Jon, 9th January 2024]

You can read an obituary by Lawrence English in The Quietus here

Phill Niblock was interviewed by Mike Harding for his very first edition of Long Wave, 8th October 2013. You can listen to the full broadcast here.

Forty Years of Activity
Touch

In 2022 Touch (the UK-based imprint and publisher which has released 5 albums by Phill Niblock so far) will celebrate forty years of activity; so we thought we’d organize a few events to mark this achievement, not only to reflect on the long journey but also cast our eyes on what the future might hold for the creative arts.

Since the community we share is worldwide and multi-cultural, our activities will reflect diversity in various locations throughout the world. Do check back in from time to time, since new events will be added as the year unfolds.

The first event is a Touch.40 festival in Los Angeles from March 11th to 13th and you can buy tickets here:

Tickets

And more information can be found on the Touch.40 website here:

Touch.40 – touch40.net

And I would like to announce a new Touch release: Touch Works

With two films from the Movement of People Working series – China88 and Japan89, plus four hours of my music, recent pieces from 2013 to 2016, which will be on a USB memory stick housed in a CD sized box

PHILL NIBLOCK
THE MAGIC SUN (1966-68)

Composer, photographer, and filmmaker Phill Niblock’s classic experimental underground film The Magic Sun features a sensational soundtrack by the legendary jazz musician Sun Ra and the members of his Solar Arkestra. Niblock used a very high contrast black-and-white film technique to shoot ultra-tight close-ups on the moving hands and mouths of the musicians.

This is the premiere screening of the newly restored film, which has been transferred from 16mm to HD video, color corrected by Adam Hogan and Laura Stayton, and sound revitalized by Dan Evans Farkas. The 16mm film was originally processed by J&D Film Labs, in NY.

DAVE SOLDIER
THE EIGHTH HOUR OF AMDUAT (2017–20)
AN OPERA BASED ON THE OLDEST SURVIVING MUSICAL SCORE

Marshall Allen, the leader of the Sun Ra Arkestra, is featured in the part of the Egyptian god Sun Ra, in Dave Soldier’s new classical/jazz/electronic opera based on the oldest musical score known, the Eighth hour of the Book of the Amduat. In this version from 1425 BC, the sounds and music are clearly specified during Sun Ra’s nightly travels on the underworld river to age, die, and be reborn to rise again every morning. The ancient hieroglyphs are translated to Italian by Egyptologist Rita Lucarrelli (professor at UC Berkeley) and the parts of the other gods and demons are sung by mezzo soprano (Sahoko Sato TImpone from the Metropolitan Opera) and a choir and by additional improvisers (Dan Blacksberg, Nick Millevoi, Michael Winograd, Rebecca Cherry) with a classical orchestra.

1   6 or 7 CDs  – The Exploratory Project, now looks like it will be 7 CDs with 18 versions of the scored piece –  Exploratory, on the Matière Mémoire of Belgium label. The label wants to put each CD out separately, at first, like one every month or two, then make the box set, starting perhaps in January 2021

2   2 CDs – a 2 CD set of the 5 new music pieces commissioned by Mathieu Copeland, through the Hermes Foundation of Japan, to be published by Matière Mémoire, and to result in an Exhibition in the Hermes Gallery in Tokyo, of just these music pieces, with no visuals; the music: Poom, with Stephen O’Malley; Herbal Cooled, with Deborah Walker, ExplMaranha, with David Maranha; Expl, with a Japanese Choir; Noizze, with Kasper Toeplitz, bass; Franck Vigroux, guitar; Helene Brischand, harp,  as I R E

3   1 CD – a 2 CD set, with one of the CDs a scored piece – Baobab, played in Dortmund Germany by the Dorf ensemble of 35 musicians, in September 2019, with the second CD, pieces by Jan Klare, co-published by XI Records and Umland records
