WHAT: RADIO WONDERLAND: I will walk onstage with my FM boom box, grab some audio bits on the spot, and fire up the PowerBook and Musical Shoes to slice, dice and pitch-shift rhythmatize the media as it flies through the air. (In other words, the usual, and still in-progress!) WHEN: Tues.-Wed., Jan 7-8 2003, 7:00pm WHERE: HERE Art Center 145 6th Ave. (below Spring), NYC Also on the bill, the amazing surreal physical comedy of Deke Weaver and Michael Farkas (formerly of the Wiyos) in SATURN'S WAKE It's all part of part of CULTUREMART, HERE's annual emporium of hybrid performance featuring work of HERE's Artist Residency Program ADMISSION: $15, which includes a hefty discount on any additional CULTUREMART shows you attend. see http://67.89.63.10/here/website/showDetail.cfm?showID=736 (there may be a wee typo linking HERE's page to mine, but it does link successfully to TicketWeb) As I continue to perform the piece in its current state, my structured improvs grow increasingly musical, or so I'm told. The comic/theatrical elements are still there. The next major step will be my programming elegant algorithms which will transform the found sound into complex, satisfying, FUNKY patterns. And then on to large structures, all from found material, of course... I'd like to mention also that I realize that many of you are far away. I don't expect anyone to fly out to see me, but I wanted you to know what I'm up to.
