j.frede:biography

j.frede is an experimental music composer who also
works as a sound developer for Sonic Foundry, with a
"loops for acid" CDROM scheduled to come 
out in January of 2002. The audio work of j.frede
ranges from electroacoustic atmospheres to microsound
subtleties, ambient soundscapes to music concret, live
performances to audio installations. j.frede's work
has
been presented at such notable locations as the Museum
of Contemporary Art/Denver, the Boulder Museum of
Contemporary Art, the Fisk Planetarium, and Thunder
Basin.

Originating from New Mexico (usa), j.frede has been
working in the field of experimental audio and sound
design for over seven years. Frede has been working
for the last four years in Denver, CO and is now
living and traveling throughout europe.  j.frede is
currently working with field recordings of both
natural and urban environments, sine wave frequencies,

and digital compositions built using acoustic sounds.
Frede's live performance can vary depending on each
event and the acoustic space it is 
presented in.

Aside from his work in audio, j.frede has also been
the currator for a large number of events, featuring
artists from the United States and abroad. Some 
of the larger events include the Denver Atonal
Festival, which ran for a total of five years, the
audio portion of the Telluride International 
Experimental Cinema Exposition, several audio
exhibitions for the Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver
and the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. j.frede 
also founded the Ritual Document Release label, which
at this time has 24 release's out.

j.frede is currently collaborating with Spanish music
concret artist, Francisco Lopez on a cd that will be
released in 2002. Frede is also working with post
digital composer, Kim Cascone on a split 8" record 
due to come out in 2002.

Frede recently collaborated with other Ritual Document
artists on the soundtrack for the feature length
experimental film "Slowspace" by german film maker
Klaus Eisnlohr. The film is based on glass
architecture and public space. Slowspace will be
featured at film festivals throughout Europe and the
United States in 2002.

The installation work of j.frede is designed to create
subtle listening environments in galleries and
performance spaces. Each installation follows 
a conceptual basis and is achieved using multiple cd
players, 1" (2.5 cm) to 3" (7.5 cm) speakers, and
compositions specific to the installation. The 
most recent installations have been the Urban Ambience
Relocation Project that was featured at the
Trust:Assemble festival in "Thunder Basin" Wyoming 
and the "12note composition for sines" featured at the
Visuals Soundings series at the Museum of Contemporary
Art/Denver. Larger scale installations have been
planned, such as "50 Voices" which will require 50
speakers, 25 cd players and a walk through hallway.

Frede has performed at a number of festivals including
The Emerging Artists Performance Festival (bmoca), The
[mnml] Series (mca/d), The F.A. Festival(finland),
Music For a New Mess (7hz/S.F.), The Denver Atonal
Festival, The Telluride International Experimental
Cinema Exposition (telluride,CO), Open Late Series

f100 : julie fowells + bernard elsmere
2018 1/2 preston ave, los angeles, ca  90026  usa
f100@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  http://juliefowells.com/f100


f100 is a collaboration between Los Angeles based
artists Julie Fowells and Bernard Elsmere that evolved
from Fowells'live violin improvisation and Elsmere's
work in sculpture and installation.  They compose and
perform as a duet between processed strings and
computer-manipulated sound, creating carefully
structured compositions derived from live performance,
fleeting accidents and digital by-products.  The duo
also works with multi-channel installations, allowing
dynamic environments to introduce a spatial, physical
complexity to their compositions.

In addition to live performance and installation work,
f100 have produced recordings for several multi-media
projects, including soundtracks for performance artist
Ron Athey, a string-based soundtrack for choreographer

Julie Tolentino (performed live in the UK and on both
US coasts), 2 tracks for Steven Hull¹s "Song Poems"
compilation project, and a piano and radio piece for
Franko B¹s video "You make my Heart go Boom Boom".
They have recently finished their first full length
recording.

Julie Fowells began classical violin training at the
age of 9 and continued her musical education studying
East Indian violin while pursuing an MFA at California
Institute of the Arts.  She later developed an
approach to playing the violin as an electric
instrument while performing in a series of
experimental and alternative bands, most notably The
Geraldine Fibbers. While touring Europe, Mexico, and
the US with the Ron Athey Company, she explored the
potential of solo violin played through a series of
loops and digital effects, improvising to produce
sounds not usually associated with a melodic
instrument.

Bernard Elsmere has explored a broad spectrum of
artistic media and contexts over the past 10 years,
focussing on the cross-fertilization of those
contexts. As an artist and curator in London, he was
involved in underground performance clubs, propaganda
style exhibitions and immersive media 
environments. His recent work in music uses software
machines which take their structural and operational
cues from sounds as given elements,generating and
processing live sounds which encourage unpredictable 
developments in texture, harmony and rhythm.

Current work outside music involves the creation and
acting out of real and imagined events which are
reproduced by multi-channel sound systems as if 
the physical form of each incident has been removed,
leaving just the sound behind. His installations
"Surveillance Room" and "The Siege of Lucretia Avenue"
were included in the Platinum Oasis Motel event in LA
(2001).
