FW: [Autonogram] NYC: Sound Art book events this week ...

[Dave Monroe]

greetings, everyone, and happy 2004, hopefully one
much improved from rotten old 2003.  We've got a
couple of events coming up; here's the scoop:

1. "Sound Generation" is a collection of interviews
with sound artists Autonomedia will hopefully be
publishing in 2004. The interviews get into the
political ramifications of sound artists' practices,
conceptual questions on the nature of sound and
demarcations of sound art, the political economy of
performance and distribution, and lots more. The book
will be released with a double CD of material from the
artists involved.

Later this week we're co-sponsoring a pair of events
to raise printing costs for the book, involving many
of the artists in the project. Have a look at the
flyer for the event at 
http://www.autonomedia.org/aoj.pdf ; the concise
details are as follow:

Thursday, January 8, 8pm: A night of immersive
electro-acoustics at Experimental Intermedia, 224
Centre Street (at Grand), $5. Performers include
Claudio Chea (Puerto Rican soundscape artist), Annea
Lockwood 
and Paul Ryan (eco-composition in audio and video),
Gen Ken Montgomery (longtime lower Manhattan
experimental sound curator), Tobias Van Veen, Greyg
Filastine (of Seattle's anarchist drum corps, the
Infernal Noise Brigade), Gregory Whitehead (well-known
radio arts voice), and Pamela Z (SF-based performance
artist).

Saturday, January 10, 8pm: Four rooms of sounds and
sights at OfficeOps in Bushwick, Brooklyn, 57 Thames
Street, $10 (info: www.officeops.org). Performers will
include some of the above, as well as multiple
simultaneous radio transmissions, musical robots,
video work, and a sound collage using the interviews
in the book.

Both events will be streamed at
http://www.free103point9.org , but please come out if
you've got the opportunity and inclination! ...
