Chuck Bettis and Dave Grant (New York)
Tuesday 12
SNAKE UNION is Chuck Bettis (electronics) & David Grant (modular synth). a duo that works in improvisational rhythmic explorations that match analog synths and digital sound processing, modular wires and max patches. By turns psychedelic, delicate, and fuzzed out, the sequenced collides with the freeform as these two soundmakers push into new realms With live video projections by Katherine Liberovskaya

James Fei (Oakland) and Kato Hideki (New York)
Wednesday 13
James (analog electronics) and Kato (bass, electronics) have been working together since 2002; with a shared interest in translating studio recording techniques to live performance and vice versa, the duo’s release Sieves was created with multiple processes where live electronic improvisations were subjected to radical mixing and reverberation in an echo chamber; their performance practice continued to shift over the years through the investigation of feedback, speaker-room interaction and analog circuitry

Shalom Gorewitz (New Jersey) A Video Event
Thursday 14
The poet Wallace Stevens said that art should be abstract, change, and give pleasure; with the addition of risk, this describes recent work by pioneer video artist Shalom Gorewitz; the screening will include Gorewitz’ infamous strip tease to the national anthem from the early 1970s; a new 360 video Goat’s Head recorded on one of the most dangerous beaches in California; DTTV (dystrumpia television) which explores the causes and possible antidotes for this psycho-traumatic disorder; and collaborations with the poet Rachel Hadas; one of their projects, Elegy for Stivenson Magloire, celebrates the work of an extraordinary Haitian artist Gorewitz met in Port au Prince in 1992 who was assassinated shortly after; Arcade Fire member Richard Parry gave permission to use his music for the soundtrack

Shelly Silver (New York) – A Video Event
Friday 15
In Shelly Silver’s frog spider hand horse house, the effort of all things to keep existing has been observed by someone with a camera who seems, as far as personality goes, to be no one; this acutely neutral watcher—curious and patient, pushing very close and holding steady there registers the super-focused effort of all creatures toward the expression of vitality, the stubborn going-on in time of particularly shaped and textured bodies; the first in Silver’s trilogy on our current moment of destabilization, where the animal, vegetable and mineral are jolting into reconfiguration; animals and children are being placed on the frontline of this change and they are the soft and hard focus of frog spider hand horse house

Biliana Voutchkova and Al Margolis (If Bwana) (Berlin, New York)
Tuesday 19
a first encounter of bi and al will occur publicly tonight; a phenomena of reaching far beyond the trivia of a first meeting, they will go straight (and deeply) into a musical communication based on devotion, long experience and trust; using strings, reeds, objects, contact mics (or all of the above), listening, responding, conversing; Al describes his most recent work as “quiet wall” or the search for the sounds between: bi’s work focuses on detail and slowly developing textures, but still allowing unexpected surprises; they’ll merge with the flow of the current moment, or perhaps with the edge of nothing
