free103point9 provides live audio and video of rehearsals for the new Richard Foreman play every Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on free103point9 Online Radio. Richard Foreman's latest production uses digital material filmed in Japan and England and takes place on a stage in New York in which everything is askew -- the windows, the walls (covered with turn of the century photographs) and the furniture, which includes two pianos. Even the large screens on which images are projected are off kilter. Within this setting, the mind is asked to jump from world to world, Japan to England, filmed world to live stage world. More

Cooper's Lake Campground
Slippery Rock, PA
Imagine the climatic opposite of Burning Man: a frozen forest where ice and snow join fire and steam as viable art forms; where radical self-reliance and communal effort are critical for human survival. Envision an event where huddled masses and daring individuals venture from warm quarters into the chilled air, discovering participatory art and radical self-expression no matter which way they turn. Dream of a retreat just when you need it most: in the middle of winter, six months from your annual pilgrimage to the Black Rock Desert. Escape for a weekend to an environment that is harsh, yet comfortable. Familiar, with a radical new twist. A place to warm your heart and soul and express your creativity in ways the playa could never allow. More

March 2, 2008
Hunter College
68th St. at Lexington Ave.
Manhattan, NY
(free103point9 Event, Radio Lab)
Lee Azzarello, Ryan Holsopple, Tianna Kennedy
Participate in one of the most exciting, local, grassroots media and activism events in New York City! We invite you to join us at the 2008 NYC Grassroots Media Conference as we seek to define our understanding of and relationship to Media Justice as a community and explore how we can not only envision an ideal world, but to make this vision a reality. In addition to a full day of workshops and panels, there will be a full day film festival, exhibition room featuring displays by local organizations, and tons of networking opportunities.
free103point9 "Protest Radio" workshop will explain how free103point9 will use the open-source Asterisk software, and other streaming software, to create a radio station taking live phone calls on a toll-free number of the protests surrounding the political conventions this summer, and how it can be used at other events and shared by many media outlets. Panelists include Ryan Holsopple, who has used Asterisk in art projects, and Lee Azzarello, a software developer and system administrator who has worked with Asterisk.
free103point9 was going to live web stream video of many of these workshops and panels. But at the last minute we learned about CUNY's blanket policy against live streaming for technological reasons, which includes Hunter College. free103point9 has previously webstreamed live events with virtually every other college in New York City including Columbia University, New York University, Brooklyn College, New School, and other institutions such as Bard College, RPI, Brown University, Wesleyan, and others. We regret that our promise via e-mails, postcards, and web site listings, to live web stream many of these conference panels cannot be kept.

Interpretations presents brand-new works from two pioneers in two genres of music: electronic music maven Al Margolis from the DIY underground cassette world and “hyperpianist” Denman Maroney from the free improv/avant-garde scene. Margolis collaborates with a small ensemble of friends (including folks from the latest If, Bwana incarnation) to create introspective, otherworldly sonic tapestries accompanied by video. Maroney goes it alone, but always sounds like a small ensemble, culling wild sounds from inside and outside the piano. This is your chance to hear these pieces, because they’ll never sound the same way again! Featuring: Al Margolis manipulating prerecorded sounds and sampling; Lisa Barnard, vocals; Monique Buzzarté, trombone; Tom Hamilton, electronics; Jacqueline Martelle, flute; and Katherine Liberovskaya, video. “It’s not a brand new idea to combine unrelated elements into a working whole… but Al Margolis makes me think it is, putting “An Innocent, Abroad” into my top albums of the year.” — Dave X, host of “It’s Too Damn Early” on WDBX “Once you get past the ‘gee whiz, how'd he do that’ stage, you find yourself in the midst of shimmering partials hovering luminescent in the air like aurora borealis. And after a while, you lose consciousness of the fact that you are listening to a piano at all. It's all very beautiful and quite unearthly. Maroney has created a singular and very personal style of playing that's very much his alone." — John Chacona, Signal to Noise Thursday, March 13 at 8pm Roulette: 20 Greene Street (between Canal and Grand) General admission: $15 ($10 students, seniors, Harvestworks & DTW members; free for Roulette and Location One members) For reservations, call 212-219-8242. For more information on the Interpretations series, call 212-627-0990 or visit: www.interpretations.info www.roulette.org Al Margolis “I continue to use sound palettes as the basic structure of my works; the instrumentalists then create their parts over these sound palettes. Other prerecorded and sampled sounds are then added to the live mix; the result is multi-layered works that are never twice the same.” — Al Margolis One of the prime movers in the cassette underground scene of the 1980s (between 1984 and 1991 his Sound Of Pig label released over 300 cassettes of music by the likes of Merzbow, Costes, Amy Denio, John Hudak and Jim O'Rourke), Al Margolis is the éminence grise behind twenty-three years of music under the name If, Bwana. He is also the man behind the Pogus label, as well as label manager for Deep Listening, XI Records, and Mutable Music. "Let it be declared that Al Margolis/If, Bwana is some sort of evil genius working with raw materials which are never adapted to a genre or a context, because they create one in that very moment. Those sources are radically altered up to an utterly unrecognizable state, anarchic manifestations moving in compact determination." — Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes http://pogus.com Denman Maroney Denman Maroney will give a solo piano concert of improvisations in his trademark “hyperpiano” style: playing the keys with one hand and the strings with the other, using bows and slides of metal, plastic and rubber. He also employs a system of temporal harmony based on the undertone series to compose and improvise in several tempos at once. His music is inspired by natural sounds and the music of Cage, Coleman, Cowell, Ellington, Ives, Joplin, Messiaen, Monk, Nancarrow and Stockhausen, among others. For more info visit: http://www.pipeline.com/~denman “Pianists have been tinkering with the guts of their instruments for nearly a century now, but it’s altogether likely that no one has explored the art of prepared piano as diligently or creatively as ‘hyperpianist’ Denman Maroney.” TimeOut NY, Aug. 2006. * * * * * * * The Interpretations series, now in its nineteenth season, is a New York-based concert series focusing on the relationship between contemporary composers and their interpreters. Sometimes the interpreters are the composers themselves; more often, the series features performers who specialize in the interpretation of new music. Since its inception in 1989, Interpretations has featured leading figures in contemporary music and multimedia, including Muhal Richard Abrams, Robert Ashley, Anthony Braxton, Thomas Buckner, FLUX Quartet, Annea Lockwood, and Alvin Lucier, Roscoe Mitchell, Phill Niblock, Pauline Oliveros, Ursula Oppens, and Morton Subotnick.

Meet at the Neuberger Museum of Art at 7pm
Join EcoArtTech (Christine Nadir and Cary Peppermint) for three evenings of performances with the Environmental Risk Assessment Rover–AT (ERAR–AT), a mobile, solar-powered, networked video installation that will accumulate and aggregate the environmental threats and risks that Purchase residents face everyday.
What kind of environmental risks does Purchase face? How far is the closest superfund site or nuclear power plant or agribusiness? How do the 148 industrial chemicals already in every American human body interact with the synthetic hormones and antibiotics in the dairy products we eat? How many chemicals are in human breast milk? How do the chemicals in your toothpaste interact with the pesticides on your food? Why has modernity, which was supposed to create a sense of security, produced more anxiety and threats than ever? Can scientific data and research help us understand the “riskiness” of contemporary life?
ERAR-AT performs the difficulty of perceiving, evaluating, and understanding risk scenarios and presents an assessment of its given locale by producing a unique fourteen-tiered threat level embedded live within video projections onto local natural and architectural surfaces.
“Sooner rather than later, one comes up against the law that so long as risks are not recognized scientifically, they do not exist--at least not legally, medically, technologically, or socially, and they are thus not prevented, treated or compensated for. No amount of collective moaning can change this, only science. Scientific judgment's monopoly on truth therefore forces the victims themselves to make use of all the methods and means of scientific analysis in order to succeed with their claims.”
—German risk theorist Ulrich Beck

Four sound artists are each invited to create an unchanging radio broadcast. Reacting to a radio culture which accustoms us to the division of time into a grid of discontinuous slices, "Simulcast 1.0b : Saskatoon" is a temporary condition webcast on www.free103point9.org during April, 2008. Four artists are each asked to create an unchanging sound or soundscape. Each of these is webcast continuously over seven consecutive nights. The resulting month-long series reflects on radio's relationship with night and proposes a renewal of radio's relationship with eternity.
"Simulcast 1.0b : Saskatoon" is curated by Montreal-based sound artist Emmanuel Madan, at the initiative of the Saskatoon media arts production centre Paved Arts. The webcasts are hosted by free103point9, a New York-based nonprofit arts organization devoted to Transmission Arts.

Audiences are encouraged to walk among the radios, "mixing" the collective and individual improvised performances. For this Radio 4x4, performers will all use battery-powered equipment, and all transmitters and radios will also not be plugged in. Brief explanation and discussion of Radio 4x4 with the artists after performance.
4:45: Joshua Fried, Radio Wonderland. Fried performs his "Radio Wonderland" show with a car battery.
5:30 p.m.: Jeff Stark, Secret DinnerThe Secret Dinner project is just that. The dinners are collaborative and they happen in clandestine spaces. The first was in a grain elevator in Red Hook, Brooklyn, in 2006, and we lowered a singer into an echoey steel silo. The second was the site of the 1964 World's Fair in Queens, where we suspended an aerialist from the massive steel Unisphere. And at the third, we ate in the Freedom Tunnel, under Riverside Park in Manhattan. The Secret Dinner project was influenced by Dark Passage, a group of New York explorers, and the Suicide Club, a long defunct group of San Francisco pranksters. The project is a reaction to a culture of permission, including expensive venues, city permits, and institutional funding. It reminds participants that the most important thing is doing the thing, and that it's possible to create work that compromises only to logistics. This talk will feature gorgeous photos by Tod Seelie that document the project.

The young upstarts aren’t the only ones expanding the sound of jazz today. Interpretations presents two of jazz’s elder statesmen who are still pushing personal boundaries ever-outward. The Oliver Lake Big Band sounds like the whole history of African-American music going on simultaneously, but centered around the traditional big band sound: it swings like a big band, shakes its thang hip-hop stylee, and testifies to the revolutionary spirit of free jazz. Joe Giardullo’s G2 continues the tradition of stretching the umbrella of jazz: what makes a jazz ensemble, what sounds like jazz, what are the roles of and in jazz? G2 is a flexible large-ensemble concept, concocted by Giardullo in the late 70s and reconceived in the new millennium, in which everyone has a chance to answer those questions aloud, in their own way, musically. Oliver Lake Big Band: Oliver Lake, Bruce Williams, alto sax; Erica Lindsay, James Steward, tenor sax; Jason Marshall, bari sax; Peck Allmond, Nabate Ilses, trumpet; Al Patterson, Aaron Johnson, Vince Chandler, trombone; Yoichi Uzeki, piano; Bob Sabin, bass; Otis Brown, drums Joe Giardullo’s G2: Chris Chalfant, piano; Michael Snow, violin; Gwen Laster, violin; Larry Packer, viola; Daniel Levin, cello; Harvey Sorgen, percussion; Joe Giardullo, soprano & sopranino saxophones Oliver Lake "It's all about choices," states modern Renaissance Man Oliver Lake to explain his expansive artistic vision. An accomplished poet, painter and performance artist, Lake has published a book of poetry entitled Life Dance, has exhibited and sold a number of his unique painted-sticks at the Montclair Art Museum, and has toured the country with his one-man performance piece, Matador of 1st and 1st. But it's his extraordinary talents as composer, saxophonist, flautist and bandleader that have brought him world-renown. Although his greatest reputation exists in the world of jazz, Lake's amazingly eclectic musical approach is best expressed by his popular poem SEPARATION: “put all my food on the same plate!” “The modern big-band sound funnels directly back to the Count Basie band from the 1950's, with its pinpoint blending of reeds and brass and dynamic drumming. Not Mr. Lake's. He mixes blues and gospel, funk and free; but his free jazz is never maundering. He likes players with a sense of humor and style; his pieces explode with bursts of chaotic energy but don't lose direction.” — Ben Ratliff, The New York Times Joe Giardullo Born in Brooklyn and raised on the South Shore of Long Island, Joe Giardullo grew up on R&B, playing tenor sax in club and regional bands. In the 1960's, he moved to the Woodstock area, where he got his first soprano saxophone. Joe played all kinds of music — improvised, jazz, rock, blues, club date, weddings — but things grew stale and in 1977, he moved to Amsterdam. Shortly thereafter, Joe returned to live 100 miles north of New York City where he slipped into a 10 year hiatus from public performance, yet continued to play in private. One night in 1991, he met up with saxophonist/trumpeter Joe McPhee at a club. That meeting marked the beginning of a continuing collaboration, and it has also reintroduced audiences in the US, Canada and Europe to Giardullo's music. Since then, Joe has been active in the US and Europe with many of the most highly regarded musicians. “Giardullo is willing into existence a music that occurs beyond his control. Giardullo is finding a way for musicians to be themselves while serving a larger cause.” — John Szwed, Signal To Noise More

The New York School is back in session. Interpretations presents an evening with: The Christian Wolff Sextet April 24, 2008 at Roulette. Guest curator Dan Joseph brings to Roulette an original New York Schooler (and one-time Sonic Youth collaborator), Christian Wolff with an exceptional group of experimental musicians in tow, including members of Frog Peak Music (Larry Polansky) and the Wandelweiser Ensemble (Jürg Frey, Craig Shepard). Re-examining the fundamental aspects of melody and counterpoint in music, the program includes a complete performance of Wolff's recent opus Micro Exercises, and the New York premiere performance of les tréfonds inexplorés des signes by Swiss composer and clarinetist Jürg Frey. “In the 1950's, there was a group of composers who set the classical world on edge. Like many trail-blazers before them, they were scorned and only in later decades appreciated for their work. Though the group was made up of distinct members, the need to group them as some kind of 'movement' led to them being called the New York School. Some of the names you probably know — John Cage and Morton Feldman were among this group. So was a younger man who had his own distinct ideas about composition. Christian Wolff briefly studied under Cage but soon took up his own charge to create intricate systems for his pieces… Indeed, he's made some very bold statements about his ideas concerning music and composition.” — Jason Gross, Perfect Sound Forever Featuring: Christian Wolff, Fender Rhodes electric piano, melodica; Jürg Frey, clarinet; Larry Polansky, electric guitar; Craig Shepard, trombone; Jeremy Lamb, cello; Marco Cappelli, guitar.

Armed with nothing but gigabait and sound equipment, in November 2007, 11 fearless sound artists led by sound artist/biologist Francisco Lopez, trekked through the jungles of Brazil in search of sounds, took part in classes and workshops, engaged the local community, and ultimately were annihilated in a futbol match between the Brazilians.
This Giant Ear))) special reveals through sound pieces submitted by the participants of the sound art residency, the spectacular sonic qualities of the Brazilian rainforest and conveys a sense of place created through sound memory and the mind's own subjective collective mapping of a place that was off the maps.

Noise! is a sound performance festival started in 2005. free103point9 curates for the second year. Each year the "Incubator" program at Ontological Theater hosts a Noise! festival, a three-night multi-arts event designed to promote interest in new forms of sound art. The festival will feature short compositions and performances by established and emerging artists. Each evening opens with a Radio 4x4 as the audience enters the theater. Radio 4x4 is a free103point9 collaborative radio transmission performance. Four simultaneous audio performances are separately sent through FM transmitters to radios positioned throughout a performance space. Each radio receives only one of the signals, so that the audience becomes an active collaborator in the performance, "mixing" the audio feeds by moving about the space among the four signals. Other artists will perform each evening. Tianna Kennedy, Tom Roe, and Damian Catera will curate each evening.

Access to radio spectrum is largely based on the principle of fixed resource allocation. With the proliferation of wireless applications/services in the last couple of decades, in many countries, most of the available spectrum has been allocated. This results in the radio spectrum scarcity which poses a serious problem for the future development of the wireless communications industry. On the other hand, careful studies of the usage pattern reveal that most of the allocated spectrum experiences low utilization. This motivates the concept of dynamic spectrum access via cognitive radio technologies, which allows secondary networks to use unused or under-utilized radio spectrum from primary licensed networks.

The LIC Museum of Natural History was founded in 2007, and will open it's doors to the public in May 2008. The Museum's mission is to be a resource to public, featuring a world-class collection of objects, specimens, and displays. In addition, a major mission of the museum is to provide education about the region, specifically Queens, through a series of exhibits about regional history, geology, and industry. The building originally housed a 150-year-old event hall and social club in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens. Acquired in 2006, the building has been fully renovated. or rather... The LIC Museum of Natural History is an group art show curated by Texas Firehouse artist Jeff Thompson. Featuring work by eight artists, all pieces appear initially to be specimens of a natural history museum. Upon closer inspection, however, they are clearly works of art that span sculpture, painting, video, and sound. Rather than a dry critique of museums or the classification of objects within them, the LIC Museum of Natural History is part elaborate joke, part real entity. At what point can a collection become a museum and what are the museum's limitations. In a culture so focused on the DIY mentality where institutions like micronations are being formed by a single person, why can't museums be built the same way? More

July 3, 2008: 2 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
free103point9 Online Radio
(free103point9 Event, free103point9 Online Radio Event)
Joshua Fried contributes free103point9's latest show for the Radia network. The Radio Wonderland slogan is "turning the bits and bytes of commercial culture into the driving backbeat to our dance of independence." (Wait a a minute--doesn't THAT sound like an ad right there? Oh, the recursion is making us dizzy.) Every Radio Wonderland show starts with an empty palette, and all sounds are gathered from a live boombox playing commercial FM radio. All processing is done in Max/MSP software written by Joshua Fried. And all the processing is controlled in real time by Fried, using a vintage steering wheel (from a Buick 6), old shoes hit with sticks, and various gizmos. The surreal touch of using these ordinary objects is meant to underscore the absurd disconnect between digital controller (drum pad, mouse, infra red) and the sound it triggers or controls. This live recording was made in February '08 at the Spark Festival, Minneapolis Minnesota. The 35 minute raw material was condensed and gently remixed by NYC producer DJ Easy Beat. More

The Sonic world (an audible space); an emerging intersection between the audio and visual experiences, based on increasing internet and digital technology inventions -- gave the sound a significant stage in the surrounding environment in the multimedia environment of contemporary culture then ever before. The exploration of the sound emergent spaces, time of audio resonance, sound design, audio-visual simulation, virtual dimension, linguistic utterances, musical performance or random ‘noise’, becomes an individual expression which could exceed its form in relation to our internal self and sonic influences. As Damian Catera says: “Sound is no longer trapped within the mechanism of the ear; its multidisciplinary aspects are reflected in a blurring of sensory experiences. Sound is tactile, visual, spatial and spiritual. These elements have long been ingrained in the experience of sound since the dawn of humanity.”
Featuring works by:
Paul Amlehn/ Robert Fripp , Damian Catera, DJ Olive, Hasan Elahi and many others.
