Happy New Year...for those of you in the New York Area:

Wednesday's Darmstadt party is going to be fantastic.  Featuring Live
Video by {R}ake's ADAM KENDALL, electronic improv all the way from
Amsterdam with JEFF CAREY and ROBERT VAN HEUMAN, and Brooklyn's own
powerbook genius, OBLAAT.  And, as usual, I'll be playing some gems by
John Cage, James Tenney, Morton Feldman and company in the spaces between.
 I can't adequately express my enthusiasm for this one...it's going to be
a feast for the eyes and ears and should not be missed!!!

Featuring JEFF CAREY + ROBERT VAN HEUMEN + OBLAAT with Video by ADAM
KENDALL 

Jeff Carey is computer music composer and performer who studied Audio
Technology at American University and Sonology at the Institute for
Sonology of the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. His work has always
centered around a system-oriented approach to sound production and
composition. Carey has focused his attention on two specific sound making
activities: his participation as computer instrumentalist in the
electro-acoustic ensemble Office-R(6) and his own acousmatic multichannel
computer compositions. 

Robert van Heumen has worked with Anouk van Dijk (choreographer) on music
for choreographies and for the website http://www.anoukvandijk.com. In
2001, he worked with Koen Nutters (composer/acoustic bass) on the project
'St.Lab/OfficeR' for research on composed improvisation with electronics
and acoustic instrumentalists. He has done various performances in
Amsterdam, including STEIM and OT301 concerts, working as an improvisor on
live sampling.

Adam Kendall is a Brooklyn-based musician and video-artist.  In the words
of one kind critic, his video is "Real-world images evolving into abstract
textures and monochrome colors."  His extra-curricular activities include
co-curating the a/v series {R}AKE.

OBLAAT - Based in Brooklyn, New York, sound artist, composer,
[electroluxe] event schemer, core member of SHARE(http://share.dj),
o.blaat (keiko uenishi) is known for creating various interactive audio
environments such as 'beat piece (with Ping-Pong game)', 'audio coat
check', 'coupier', 'fillip'. All of which were resulted from her ceaseless
pursuits of ways to erase performer's presence and ultimately alter
listening situation altogether.

After performing with an unique hand-made electronic sound system
?tapboard.effector.soundsystem? for a couple of years, Uenishi has been
exploring powerbook's mobility and its least distracting state of being.
Her first composition effort with powerbook, has been commissioned and
presented by galarie wieland (Berlin), Germany, as a part of its
exhibition, 'Songs of Love and Hate (side A)'.

Her powerbook performance has appeared at many music venues/events/museums
including; Tonic, The Kitchen, SHARE at openair, Whitney Museum of
American Art, P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center, American Museum of Moving
Image, UnityGain, phonomena, Rhizome.org, White Columns, MIT, Cornell
Univercity, Vox Populi Gallery in Philladelphia, PA, and toured
extensively in Europe: Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art (Porto), ZDB
(Lisbon), Forum Municipal Luisa Todi(Setubal) in Portugal; Rhiz &
Phonotaktik Festival (Vienna) in Austria; NBI, Bastard, Staatsbank,
Transmediale festival 2004 (all in Berlin); A-Musik (Köln), in Germany; Le
Lieu Unique (Nantes), Zoobizarre (Bordeaux), Transfert 2003
(Lille-Paris-Poitiers-Bordeaux) in France; STEIM (Amsterdam), WORM
(Rotterdam) in Netherlands; RAS gallery (Barcelona) in Spain; What Is
Music? Festival in Melbourne and Sydney, in Australia.

Her sound was described in Wired magazine as 'Unleashing an enchanted sea
of sound: Fuzzed-out birdcalls flit through submarine drones, and scratchy
beats crackle like a thousand records skipping as one'. She has
collaborated numerous artists including: Ikue Mori, DJ Olive, Lloop,
Miguel Frasconi, Timeblind, Eyvind Kang, Sachiko M, Tetsuji Akiyama, Aki
Onda, Toshio Kajiwara, Zeena Parkins, Christine Bard, Kaffe Matthews,
Georg Zeitblom, Ralph Steinbrüchel, Günter Müller, Norbert Morslang,
Anthony Coleman, Kurt Ralske, Lukasz Lysakowski, HC Gilje, Eric Redlinger,
Klaus Filip, among others. She was a member of Marina Rosenfeld's 17 piece
guitar/powerbook orchestra, 'Sheer Frost Orchestra 2000', and also was a
member of laptops-and-electronics quartet with Ikue Mori, Kaffe Mathews,
and Marina Rosenfeld, recorded with a commission by STEIM, Amsterdam,
Holland, 2001
