about the artists:
Eric Redlinger
is a sound designer and interactive media performer. His musical background
includes significant research in both extremes of the western musical
spectrum. A long-time composer and performer of electronic music, Eric
also plays lute and sings in the early music ensemble Asteria, putting
him on a musical map that embraces both the mystical lushness and elegant
complexity of the 14th and 15th century polyphonists as well as the exacting
control over sonority and acoustics made possible by contemporary synthesis
and audio processing techniques. When a research position took him to
the Waag Society (Amsterdam) in 2003, he expanded his scope to include
live visuals working on the Keyworx project, a software platform devoted
to inter-media synthesis and networked-based collaboration.
Eric holds a Master of Science degree from the Integrated Digital Media
Institute (IDMI) at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, NY. His work has
been presented internationally, most recently at last year's Transmediale
festival in Berlin. In addition to IDMI, where Eric currently holds a
research position, he can be found most Sundays in the East Village at
37, Avenue A, where he helps host the weekly SHARE audio/visual jam sessions.
Patrick Todd
explores the outer realms of manufacturing noise production through a
digital interface. He will bring us his raw sound in what will prove to
be an electrifying evening of excessive/compulsive distortions and feedback.
Trained in the visual arts, he is interested in the sculptural, associative
experiential aspect that is only possible through sound and other time
based media.
Patrick Todd is also founder of the "Flow" production along with Jeremy
Slater since 2004 and collaborates with several groups throughout the
city. "Flow" is dedicated to a textural approach to sound as opposed to
the melodic, making this a unique venue for bringing together artists
who have these tendencies. He has also been the composer for several dance
projects, including Sens Productions' "Unseen: Landscape", and Patricia
Maldonado's solo project at PS122. A frequent participant at SHARE, he
can be found most Sundays in the East Village at 37 Avenue A after 8PM.
Lary Seven
continues to expand his live-performance repertoire to include experimental
music utilizing custom-built electro-acoustic devices. Recent live performances
include Barbican (London 2000) and Fonotactik (Vienna 2002).
New York-based collaborative Directart Productions Ltd. works in
a variety of disciplines. These include music, film, video, live performance,
radio and visual art. Directart has been the vehicle for numerous creative
projects by its principals, Lary Seven and Fabio Roberti, for more than
twenty years.
Foremost among its many
endeavors is Plastikville Studios, Directart's music-production resource.
Plastikville was formed in the early eighties and is an ongoing interest
for musicians from around the world.
Directart has also curated
film and 3-D slide screenings both locally and internationally. In 1991,
Directart collaborated with VRcades on "The Knowledge Bazaar,"
with their sound and 3-D slide tableaux, at the New Museum of Contemporary
Art in New York. And a collaboration with the internationalist KBZ-200
group included film, slide and live performances in Berlin ('93), Munich
('94) and Brighton ('94).
Since 1979 Gen
Ken Montgomery has been finding novel ways to work and play with sound,
and to deliver it to the public in compelling ways. His work includes
Cassette Culture and Mail Art networking, performing octophonic sound
concerts in total darkness, producing records, creating an audio only
CD-ROM, making audio installations, and giving concerts. One of Montgomery's
specialties is enhancing the sounds of appliances and using them as musical
instruments. His signature machine is the laminator (www.MinistryofLamination.com),
however he has also worked with ice breakers, aquariums, and refrigerators
to name a few others.
Montgomery is one of the original founders of the Pogus Prodctions and
Generations Unlimited record labels and is the founder of Generator, New
York's first sound art gallery. Together with Scott Konzelmann (Chop Shop)
he continues to publish recordings of sound artists through Generator
Sound Art, Inc. (www.generatorsoundart.org).
Currently he spends less time making sounds and more time listening to
sounds while creating mail art, books, video and other non-sound works.
Artist/musician/filmmaker Tony Conrad teaches in the Department of Media Study of the University at Buffalo. During the 1960s he was a participant in the founding of minimal music and structural film. Recently his Yellow Movies (1972-73) have been exhibited at the Greene-Naftali and Daniel Buchholz galleries. His installation Beholden to Victory (1980-2007) opened in May at Overduin and Kite in L.A. His films, videos, compositions, and musical performances are seen internationally. Many of his recordings are released on the Table of the Elements label.
