----> Event Description <-----------------------------------------------

The world makes music, remember to listen.

Field Effects 2: a night of field recording based performance. Come out
for a night of comfortable, communal deep listening!

Field Effects 2 will feature sound artists:

 Josh Russell (LA)

    josh russell gently manipulates pure tones and field recordings of
    soft, often unnoticed events to create a performance of delicate,
    evolving sound-sculptures which rewards concentrated listening. he
    founded the experimental sound label bremsstrahlung recordings which
    focuses on publishing "egoless sound."

 v.v. (Oakland)

    v.v. are the initials of Ven Voisey.  lost in beauty, clarity through
    observation, listening with no intent, blurry-eyed gaze, filtration of
    second-hand experience, multi-channel communication void, nasty
    one-liners and the collision factors.

Kenric McDowell (SF)

    Kenric McDowell's images and sounds sit at the threshold of intention:
    they are attempts to reconnect with an everyday that is increasingly
    complicated and mediated by technology.  He curated and performed in
    the Six String Object Digital Guitar Microfestival and has released
    several albums of electronic music, most recently on the Fallt label.

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma (SF)

    Jefre Cantu-Ledesma helped found rock/experimental band Tarantel and
    spent the last four years touring and recording with them. Recently,
    Jefre has begun to perform and record solo compositions under his own
    name; a string of EPs will be released in the US and Europe shortly.
    Jefre's recent investigation of field recording focuses on modes of
    transportation, communication, and audible industrial phenomenon. His
    compositions tend to exemplify naturally occurring high and low
    frequencies juxtaposed with interjected subtle melodies.

Your host is Aaron Ximm of Quiet American:  http://www.quietamerican.org.

The Field Effects series showcases artists from the Bay Area and beyond
who are interested in framing the hidden beauty of the everyday world:
beauty on the surface, awaiting our attention. Beauty that must be
delicately extracted. And beauty in potential, awaiting juxtaposition,
collage, repetition and mutilation.

Field recordings are made out in the world, not the studio. Fair game:
machines, animals, weather, vehicles, buskers, hawkers, hawks, preachers,
telephones, taxis, and the mad. (Things have voices: do you hear?)

Seating mostly on futons to encourage comfortable deep listening.

Depending on weather, hot or cold drinks will be available.
