[ immersion update ]
=======================
Composed entirely from water sounds, Archive's full-length CD debut
"Immersion: Water Works" has generated some fine notices:

Italian magazine Neural says "E' la natura stessa delle vibrazioni emesse
a guidare questo sound artist attraverso tutti i passaggi che vanno dalla
registrazione all'editing, cercando il più possibile di non interferire
sulla struttura delle registrazioni ed elaborando una successione
classificabile degli eventi." I'm not exactly sure what that means, but it
sounds nice to me! If anyone can translate this review better than Alta
Vista does, I'd be much obliged:

[ nyc : the matzo files ]
=======================
"Immersion : Water Works" is also featured as part of "The Matzo Files", a
new, artist-run, non-profit collaborative project on the Lower East Side
of Manhattan. Streit's, the oldest family-owned matzo bakery in New York, 
has agreed to dsiplay work by 180 artists; each artist has a folder 20" x
16" devoted exclusively to his or her work and held in a flat file drawer.
Hours of operation are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3 to 7 p.m.
The opening is scheduled for November 7th, from 4-7 pm. Streit's is
located on the northeast corner of Suffolk and Rivington Streets. My work
will be filed under the name "Mike Hallenbeck". For more info:

[ mpls : novus ordo seclorum ]
=======================
A brief digital film by Mike Hallenbeck called "Novus Ordo Seclorum" is
currently on view as part of an exhibition called "Art of Democracy: Tools
of Persuasion" at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The show is a forum
for artists to express political sentiments. "Novus Ordo Seclorum" is a
15-second "microdocumentary" of the eye and pyramid on the back of a
dollar bill (as well as the phrase "Novus Ordo Seclorum", Latin for "New
World Order"), with audio derived from the crumpling of same. The
exhibition is on view until November 28th. For more info:

[ mpls : benefit performance : sat nov 6th ]
=======================
I'll be doing an Archive performance to provide ambience for the annual
silent auction benefitting the Women's Prison Book Project, Saturday
November 6th at Intermedia Arts. The Women's Prison Book Project provides
women and transgender?identified persons in prison with free reading
materials. The group also raises consciousness on issues related to female
incarceration: for example, eighty percent of women in prison are there
for non?violent crimes-- and of the women convicted of violent crimes, the
vast majority were convicted for defending themselves or their children
from abuse.

[ chicago : blind spot ]
=======================
My field recordings were recently included on
"crowd.situation_mass/compilation" by Keri Butler, an installment of the
Blind Spot series of experimental radio works on Chicago's WLUW.
"crowd.situation_mass/compilation" mixed various recordings of crowded
public environments, including my documents of the New York Public Library
and baggage claim at the Cloumbus, OH airport.
