for folks in the bay area:

Hello to you all!


Welcome to yet another Public Service Announcement from The Helen Scarsdale 
Agency!


We are delighted to announce the first collaboration between Coelacanth and 
Keith Evans, who will present their orchestration on Saturday, March 12, 
2005 in the Lecture Hall of the San Francisco Art Institute.

A fixture within the Helen Scarsdale Agency, Coelacanth is the sound art 
collaboration between Loren Chasse and Jim Haynes, operating the tools of an 
imagined science to explore the various possibilities for sound to originate 
from traditionally non-musical materials. Copper, stone, glass, sand, 
shortwave radio, rust, wind, water, and mud have been the active 
participants in Coelacanth's sound events and situations, invoking a sound 
that is an aggregate of sustained harmonics, continuously evolving sound 
forms, and broad gestures of textual details, and which could be described 
as a 'broken minimalism.'


Keith Evans hails from the multimedia collective Silt, whose multiple film 
projections, shadow interferences, kinetic sculptural elements, and resonant 
sound reveal an interest in the primacy of sensation and set up an emotional 
dynamic between the performer, the audience, and the space itself. Silt's 
film material has often been rusted, buried in the ground, consumed by mold 
and bacteria, and left to interact with the earth's natural alchemical 
process, like fossilized relics. In performance, the projector beam lights 
up these organic morphologies, magnetic fields, and bacterial cultures, all 
combined to manifest a transcendent experience.
