SUMMARY:The Philadelphia Embassy of the Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland
DESCRIPTION:Bowerbird\, in collaboration with Mike Bullock\, is pleased to present the inauguration of “The Philadelphia Embassy of the Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland” (KREV). KREV\, as described by the country’s founders – Swedish artists Leif Elggren (King Leif I) and Carl Michael von Hausswolff (King Michael I) – is “the largest and most populous realm on Earth\, incorporating all boundaries between other nations as well as Digital Territory and other states of existence. Every time you travel somewhere\, and every time you enter another form\, such as the dream state\, you visit Elgaland-Vargaland.” \nWith performances by Ian M Fraser and Bhob Rainey in their first collaboration performing a new work derived from algorithmic digital composition techniques. Solo performance by CM von Hausswolff using electronics to make his unique blend of droned and polyfrequential beauty. \nAlso featuring a performance by Sons of God with Mike Bullock. Sons of God – the duo of Leif Elggren and Kent Tankred – excels in creating long\, puzzling stage performances that give equal roles to physical action (or inaction) and soundtrack (live or taped) with themes such as violence\, love\, the quotidian\, food and royalty. For this performance they will collaborate with electronic composer Mike Bullock\, who will create a sonic setting using modular synthesizers and field recordings. \nAlong with these performances artworks will be on display in the Gray Area and ICEBox Project Space will be videos\, porcelain objects\, prints\, stamps\, currency\, and other Royal ephemera\, as well as books\, records\, and CDs from artists Leif Elggren\, CM von Hasswolff\, Linda Aubry Bullock and Mike Bullock. \nABOUT THE PERFORMERS: \nMike Bullock is a composer\, performer\, and artist whose work encompasses improvisation\, electroacoustic composition\, modular synthesis\, intermedia installation\, contrabass and bass guitar\, porcelain making\, illustration\, and critical writing. Bullock has been performing electroacoustic improvised music since the mid 90s and has performed across the US and in Europe\, at venues such as Fylkingen in Stockholm\, Sweden; Instants Chavires in Paris; Café OTO in London; Experimental Intermedia and ISSUE Project Room in New York City; The Philadelphia Museum of Art; and EMPAC in Troy\, NY. Collaborators have included King Britt\, HPrizm (High Priest of Anti-Pop Consortium)\, Bertrand Gauguet\, Andy Guhl\, Mazen Kerbaj\, Pauline Oliveros\, Bhob Rainey\, Greg Kelley\, Steve Roden\, Hankus Netsky\, Keith Rowe\, and Christian Wolff\, Vic Rawlings\, Raed Yassin\, Christine Abdelnour\, Sharif Sehnaoui\, Domenico Sciajno\, Seymour Wright\, Sebastian Lexer\, Julien Ottavi\, Ben Owen\, Andrew Lafkas\, Bryan Eubanks\, Kenta Nagai\, Andrea Neumann\, Stephane Rives\, Scott Smallwood\, Stephan Moore\, Howard Stelzer\, Tucker Dulin\, Curtis Bahn\, Newton Armstrong. Additionally\, Bullock has taught and lectured on field recording and improvisation at Hautes Ecoles des Arts du Rhin\, The Pratt Institute\, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is currently based in Brooklyn\, NY and Philadelphia\, PA. \nLinda Aubry Bullock is a painter\, porcelain maker\, graphic designer\, video artist and electronic musician based in Brooklyn\, NY. She has performed live video and modular synthesizer at numerous venues including ISSUE Project Room and Experimental Intermedia in New York City; EMPAC in Troy\, NY; and Fylkingen in Stockholm\, Sweden. Her visual art has been exhibited at Vox Populi Gallery in Philadelphia. Linda has an extensive career producing porcelain tableware for the home\, as well as experimental porcelain pieces for intermedia installation works. \nLeif Elggren (born 1950\, Linkoping\, Sweden) is a Swedish artist who lives and works in Stockholm. Active since the late 1970s\, Leif Elggren has become one of the most constantly surprising conceptual artists to work in the combined worlds of audio and visual. A writer\, visual artist\, stage performer and composer\, he has many albums to his credits\, solo and with the Sons of God\, on labels such as Ash International\, Touch\, Radium and his own Firework Edition. His music\, often conceived as the soundtrack to a visual installation or experimental stage performance\, usually presents carefully selected sound sources over a long stretch of time and can range from mesmerizingly quiet electronics to harsh noise. His wide-ranging and prolific body of art often involves dreams and subtle absurdities\, social hierarchies turned upside-down\, hidden actions and events taking on the quality of icons. Together with artist Carl Michael von Hausswolff\, he is a founder of the Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland (KREV) where he enjoys the title of King. Elggren spent five years at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm\, specializing in drawing\, design and book printing. In the late ‘70s he began to associate with performance groups\, meeting people like Hausswolff and Thomas Liljenberg. With the latter he formed Firework in 1978\, a duo that put up exhibitions and performances. Around the same time he purchased a press and started to publish art books. In 1988 he formed the duo Guds Söner (The Sons of God) with Kent Tankred\, whom he had met four years earlier. The duo excels in creating long\, puzzling stage performances that give equal roles to physical action (or inaction) and soundtrack (live or taped) with themes such as violence\, love\, the quotidian\, food and royalty. Solo works include Talking to a Dead Queen (1996) and Pluralis Majestatis (2000). Together with Hausswolff\, Elggren represented Sweden in the Nordic Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2001 (with Tommi Grönlund and Petteri Nisunen from Finland and Anders Tomren from Norway). In 2007 he appeared (with John Duncan) at the Netmage festival in Bologna organized by xing\, and executed “Something Like Seeing in the Dark.” \nCarl Michael von Hausswolff (born 1956\, Linkoping\, Sweden) is an artist living and working in Stockholm. Since the 1970s Hausswolff has worked as a composer using the tape recorder as his main instrument and as a conceptual visual artist working with performance art\, light- and sound installations and photography. His audio compositions from 1979 to 1992\, constructed almost exclusively from basic material taken from earlier audiovisual installations and performance works\, consist of complex macromal drones interlaced with a surface of aesthetic elegance and beauty. In later works\, Hausswolff has added a purely isolationistic sonic condition to composing. More recent compositions byHausswolff are pure\, intuitive studies of electricity\, frequency functions and tonal autism within the framework of a conceptual stringent cryption. Lately he has also developed a more conceptual form of audio art overlooking subjects such as architecture and urbanism\, rats and maggots. Collaborators include Graham Lewis\, Jean-Louis Huhta\, Pan sonic\, Russell Haswell\, Zbigniew Karkowski\, Erik Pauser\, The Hafler Trio and John Duncan. His music and sound art can be found on labels such as Touch\, Ash International\, Laton\, Oral\, RasterNoton\, Firework Edition\, SubRosa and Die Stadt. His music is published by Touch Music\, London. Hausswolff’s music has been performed throughout Europe and in North America and Asia in festivals such as Sonar\, Electrograph and I.D.E.A.L. In these concerts a very physical\, almost brutal\, side of Hausswolff’s aesthetics has blended with a droned and polyfrequential beauty. The audience very often fall into a form of trance\, dozing away in their seats. Other times people experiencing the events has thanked him “for the massage” or has expressed a “feeling that the flesh came off the bones” due to the vibrations of the low frequencies used. \nKent Tankred (born 1947\, Stockholm\, Sweden) studied painting in the early 70s before studying at EMS (Institute for Electro-Acoustic Music) in Stockholm with Rolf Enstrom and Jan W Morthenson. Tankred is interested in musical encounters with other art forms\, particularly pictorial art\, which has resulted in fusions where his music has also functioned as installations at exhibitions. The multi slide presentation Riot which was shown in Berlin in 1988 was created in collaboration with the graphic artist Leif Elggren. Tankred and Elggren work together on a regular basis as a performance duo\, calling themselves The Sons of God. Tankred aims to strengthen the ties between music\, movement and image and also to avoid conventional forms of expression. He often uses a “concresizer\,” a kind of instrument which he has constructed himself which controls different types of sound sculptures from a keyboard. His works have been exhibited in different places in Sweden and Europe. Tankred has been the president of the Fylkingen society between 1993-98.= \nIan M. Fraser is a computer musician working in free improvisation and algorithmic-based composition. His primary focus is generative structures\, pseudo-artificial intelligence\, and stochastic processes. With Reed Evan Rosenberg\, he works with the continual development of Keroaän\, a musical Artificial Intelligence designed to perform without any human intervention whatsoever. In live performance they combine live generative works with real-time visualizations utilizing high intensity strobe lights and lasers. \nBhob Rainey is an award-winning composer\, performer\, saxophonist\, and sound designer. In 1998\, with trumpeter Greg Kelley\, he founded the duo Nmperign\, which quickly became a model for a new phase of non-idiomatic improvisation often referred to as “lowercase” or “EAI” (Electroacoustic Improvisation). In 2000 he founded The BSC\, an improvising large ensemble\, in which he developed techniques for an improvisational discipline that were eventually outlined in his 2011 publication\, Manual. Throughout the late 1990’s and early 2000’s he performed globally and collaborated with numerous improvisers of both the (then) current and previous generations\, including Axel Dorner\, Andrea Neumann\, Gunter Mu ller\, Michel Doneda\, Le Quan Ninh\, and many others. By the mid-2000’s\, while continuing to work in the realm of improvisation\, Rainey began to produce electronic and algorithmic works. He spent five years collaborating with German composer Ralf Wehowsky (RLW) on the 2007 release\, I don’t think I can see you tonight\, which\, along with Nmperign and Jason Lescalleet’s Love Me Two Times (2006)\, established him as a formidable electronic composer who synthesizes streams of Musique Concrete\, computer music\, and improvisation. Throughout his career\, Rainey has sought out cross-discipline collaborations\, working with dancers\, filmmakers\, and theater companies. From 2012-2014 he worked with theater company New Paradise Labs to create The Adults\, which premiered at the 2014 Philadelphia Fringe Festival to much acclaim. Rainey was awarded the Pew Fellowship in the Arts in 2013. He is currently working on a long-term project with New Paradise Labs dealing with radical contingency. \nThe Philadelphia Embassy of the Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.

SUMMARY:Michael Gordon's RUSHES
DESCRIPTION:Bowebird and Crane Arts are pleased to present “Rushes”\, an evening length work for seven bassoons by composer Michael Gordon. Performed by the Rushes Ensemble – with bassoonists Dana Jessen\, Michael Harley\, Jeffrey Lyman\, Rachael Elliott\, Saxton Rose\, Lynn Hileman and Maya Stone – this unique septet of bassoonists is dedicated to expanding and diversifying the future of bassoon repertoire through commissioning projects and collaborations. The ensemble takes its name from Michael Gordon’s Rushes\, a sixty-minute work for seven bassoons commissioned through the New Music Bassoon Fund. The Rushes Ensemble released the premiere recording of Gordon’s “Rushes” on Cantaloupe Records in March 2014. Recent engagements include performances at the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center in New York\, the November Music Festival in Hertogenbosch\, University of Michigan’s Stamps Auditorium\, Amsterdam’s Ostadetheater\, the Hague’s Korzo Theater and a Belgium National Radio Broadcast performance at the Concertgebouw Brugge. \n  \nABOUT THE COMPOSER \nMichael Gordon’s music merges subtle rhythmic invention with incredible power embodying\, in the words of The New Yorker’s Alex Ross\, “the fury of punk rock\, the nervous brilliance of free jazz and the intransigence of classical modernism.” Over the past 25 years\, Gordon has produced a strikingly diverse body of work\, ranging from large-scale pieces for high-energy ensembles to major orchestral commissions to works conceived specifically for the recording studio. Transcending categorization\, this music represents the collision of mysterious introspection and brutal directness.

SUMMARY:JACK Quartet performs Cage
DESCRIPTION:The internationally acclaimed JACK Quartet performs three of Cages late works for string quartet\, Music for Four (1984)\, Four (1989) and the exceptionally rarely heard Five3 (1991) for string quartet and trombone. Unlike the chaotic\, multi-centered works of the 1960s and 70s\, these pieces reflect a more restrained and nuanced aspect of Cage’s compositional voice\, using microtones and near stasis to evoke a quiet and Zen-like quality.

SUMMARY:Michael Gordon's TIMBER
DESCRIPTION:American composer Michael Gordon’s new piece\, Timber\, is an evening-length tour de force. Scored for six graduated wooden Simantras — Greek liturgical percussion instruments used by French composer Iannis Xenakis — the work brings the physicality\, endurance and technique of percussion performance to a new level. In this new work\, Gordon shapes the music in both polyrhythmic and dynamic waves of textures — often each players’ hands are in separate rhythmic ‘worlds’\, each traversing a different dynamic contour from loud to soft to loud\, similar in some respects to his solo for percussion\, XY. \nMuch of Gordon’s music demonstrates a deep exploration into the extreme possibilities and stunning nature of rhythm\, as well as the enriching\, yet disturbing\, multidimensionality of polyrhythmic layers — what has been termed in his music to be\, “glorious confusion.” Many of Gordon’s works\, including Trance\, Gotham\, Decasia\, and his most recent orchestral work\, Dystopia\, point to Gordon’s interest in complex rhythmic and textural territory. Gordon’s percussion sextet takes these elements and explores the extreme possibilities of rhythm and texture to a beautifully intense degree. The new evening-length work is indeed a unique and exciting addition to the world of percussion. \nPresented with Crane Arts

SUMMARY:Sound Artist Werner Moebius and Choreographer Mariella Greil
DESCRIPTION:Performing artists from Austria and Philadelphia collaborate and perform during weeklong residency. \nSoundfield and paraphrase/NEXUS are pleased to announce “Philadelphia Bridge\, Part 1\,” an evening of improvised and choreographed works by movement artists Mariella Greil and Emily Sweeney with sound artists Werner Moebius and Bilwa and composer Michael McDermott performing works inspired by the exhibition “Toyland” at NEXUS. \nMariella Greil hails from Austria and currently teaches in the United Kingdom. She will join her frequent collaborator Werner Moebius\, also from Austria\, in a series of movement and sound pieces created collaboratively with Emily Sweeney and her performance partner Bilwa. \nEmily and Bilwa are hosting the Europeans over the course of a week spent working in their studio space in Kensington. The pan-Atlantic collaboration began when composer and Soundfield Director Gene Coleman encountered the Austrian duo while performing in the UK and arranged for them to travel to Philadelphia to work with Emily and Bilwa because he felt their aesthetic approaches and interests would mingle well. The paraphrase/NEXUS performance on October 22 provides an opportunity for the two sets of collaborators to share the work they’ve developed as a quartet during their co-residency. \nOn the same evening\, composer Michael McDermott will premiere tomas\, a flute quartet performed by Danielle Brosious\, Jacqueline Howell\, Heather Fortune\, and Bob Carpency. \n“Toyland” showcases the photography of six artists working with simple\, whimsical toy cameras\, featuring work by Mark Sink\, Rita Bernstein\, Chris Macan\, Diana Bloomfield\, Mira Gohel and Andy Benson. Curated by NEXUS member Chris Macan. \nParaphrase/NEXUS is a monthly performance series in which artists of various disciplines and media outside the visual arts realm create single evening performances that respond and relate to current NEXUS exhibitions. This programming offers a new context for the public to engage meaningfully with emerging and experimental artists and promotes further understanding to the meanings and methods behind exhibitions at NEXUS. Paraphrase/NEXUS is produced by Perpetual Movement and Sound. \nArtist bios: \nMariella Greil lives and works in Vienna/ A and Chester/ UK: performances\, tableau vivantes\, installations and collaborations with artists of differing media. Currently lecturing at the Department of\nPerforming Arts\, Faculty of Arts and Media at the University of Chester/ UK. She is in the board of directors for the festival moves: movement on screen in Manchester and an active member of the steering\ngroup for the SoundNetwork (UK) and the Center for Practice as Research. Physical precision and clarity\, consequence and proximity to conceptual art are significant for her performances. “For my work was\nor is it important to use differing expression languages\, picture languages\, meaning languages to sensitize new interrelations\, to consider the fractures of images as transformations\, but mainly to open up the borderlands of actual and potential\, artistic and artless reality. The idea of the polyphonic\, intermedia expanding process is essential for my artistic notion.” \nWerner Moebius is based in Vienna and London but has been building an international reputation over the last three years via a series of residencies in Chicago\, Liverpool and Mexico City. His work encompasses sound installations\, solo performance\, ensemble compositions and video. \nEmily Sweeney is a movement artist living in Philadelphia\, where she co-directs Perpetual Movement and Sound. She has presented her own improvised and choreographed works around Philadelphia as part of\nparaphrase/NEXUS\, bowerbird performance series\, Soundfield Festival\, CEC New Edge Mix\, and Philly Fringe. She dances with the Emergent Improvisation Ensemble and independent choreographer Brigitta\nHerrmann. Emily studied dance\, literature\, and anthropology at Smith and Bennington Colleges under the auspices of Dana Reitz\, Susan Sgorbati\, Nia Love\, Eva Karzcag\, Edward Hoagland\, and Terry Creach.\nShe is a native of Vermont\, where she has taught dance technique and improvisation at the Southeastern Vermont Career Education Center\, Marlboro College\, and the Brattleboro School of Dance\, where she has\ntwice been commissioned to create group pieces for student and community dancers. She has performed at such venues as the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival\, Bates Dance Festival\, and the White Wave Dance\nFestival\, and has participated in Nancy Stark Smith’s January intensive. In her own work she explores systems found in nature\, as well as how humans’ sensory experience and memory shape our\nperceptions. She is driven to investigate how humans adjust our physical and sensory interactions to accommodate new technology and the pace of urban environments. \nBilwa is a Philadelphia-based musician\, curator\, producer\, and visual artist. He co-directs the performance collective Perpetual Movement and Sound. Bilwa is also a member and assistant director of\nNEXUS/foundation for today’s art\, where he curates the performance series paraphrase/NEXUS. Past projects include Hoopty Heaven\, an ambient dub duo\, and VERSIONsound\, a roots/reggae/dub sound system. In 2007\, Bilwa and Mikronesia released perfect seconds\, a compilation of their music created inspired by the dancers of Perpetual Movement and Sound\, on earSnake records. \nMichael McDermott (a.k.a. Mikronesia) is a producer\, composer\, musician and sound artist. His main project\, Gemini Wolf\, is an electronic rock band for which he plays keyboards and laptop and arranges. Mike is an original member of Perpetual Movement and Sound. Mikronesia has released two albums with ambient label Gears of Sand. Tissue Paper Ghosts (2006) is an ethereal glitch album about the psychic remains of a car crash\, and Iris Or Comfortable Too (2007) is a work that features minimalist piano and warm electronics. In early 2008\, he released vxvii on Kikapu. In April 2008\, he premiered his\nfirst work for string trio\, Daemon En Gauze\, as part of the paraphrase/NEXUS performance series. Visit www.mikronesia.com to listen to his work. \nThis program is made possible in part through the generous support of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education\, the Arts and Culture\, Sound Field NFP\, NEXUS Foundation for Today’s Art and grants from the Argosy Fund for Contemporary Music\, with additional media support from Bowerbird.
