THE OTHER PIANO AND OTHER MUSIC BY MORTON SUBOTNICK

Monday, October 22 Frederick Loewe Theater, 35 West 4th Street
Admission Free

Morton Subotnick, laptop computer Joan La Barbara, voice Marilyn Nonken, piano


New York premiere
The Other Piano Marilyn Nonken, piano Morton Subotnick, laptop computer
The timing of the notes, the evolving melody, and the electronic sounds, as if distant echoes of the piano, floating through the air, expand the piano into a magical instrument.


Breath Joan La Barbara, voice Morton Subotnick, laptop computer
A vocal and electronic improvisation based on pitches from The Other Piano . As Subotnick writes, "I freely paint with her voice onto a surround-sound canvas."



Until Spring Revisited v14 Morton Subotnick, laptop computer
A laptop solo performed by Morton Subotnick. Based on the idiosyncratic vocabulary of pulsating and sculpting gestures that the composer has developed during the last 40 years, Subotnick's software interprets the position, speed, and gestural quality of the mouse movement, as well as which keys are pressed and when they are pressed, and translates that information into musical variation and spatial motion.

Immersion
Thursday 4 October 2007.
19:00 - 23:00.

The Flea-Pit
49 Columbia Road
London
E2 –7RG

Immersion is a free-entry experimental music/sound-art event presenting a soundtrack of ambient journeys, electronic atmospheres, noisescapes and tones/drones.

Immersion is an arena for new and established international artists performing experimental electronic music; partnered by stimulating projected visuals processed live.

The Flea-Pit is a unique café-bar/arts venue with comfortable retro furniture - and a gallery/performance area, in the heart of east/central London’s vibrant art scene and is located only five minutes away from Shoreditch High Street. Nearest tube: Old Street (exit 2).

The artists featured in Immersion 04/10 are:

Con Brio:
“Con Brio is pure electronica - a sound that glitches through heavenly glances of beauty then yanks you back to reality with cut-up beats dirty enough to make a hammer bleed. Direct to the brain quality melodies laced with clever beats.”
http://www.con-brio.co.uk/

Duskrider:
“Duskrider delves into the world of subconscious sounds. Nostalgia through note and resonance. Duskrider’s music evokes a film scene or setting, a rainy day in Gibraltar, or a forest in the snow; you just know there will be a 'poignant' close up coming up soon, then a mournful look into the river, before a painfully long drive into Moscow to 'deal with the emotional problems' the first two thirds of the film have been setting up. Thankfully this is only the sound track to such a film and this film will never exist.”
http://www.myspace.com/duskrider

Magnumquilter:
“Magnumquilter's music displays a hybrid of Post-Rock guitar hook's merged together with Electronic bliss. With complex rhythmic structures having been cooked up in his home studio for live use, Magnumquilter displays his experimental and improvised side with the use of live mixing and playing of instrumentation over the top of distorted, glitchy beats.”
http://www.myspace.com/magnumquilter

ry-om:
“ry-om are Ryo Ikeshiro and Tom Shelton. Using laptops, guitars, feedback loops, synths, instrumental samples and vocals, they create electronic noise and acoustic soundscapes. All music is improvised and performed live without sequencing and varies from pulses to irregular rhythms, tonality to dissonance, digital glitches to acoustic instruments and rich, reverb-drenched textures to austere, upfront bleeps. The result is somewhere between electronica/noise and electroacoustic/contemporary music.”
http://www.ry-om.net

SS_R:
“Presents a series of sound experiments created by building upon non-programmed minimal repetitions of static noise and rhythmic feedback - processed through multiple filters and defined by accidental and reactive parameter interactions.”
http://www.ssr-electronics.tk

Tone Poem:
“Tone Poem perform live using guitar, moog and fretless bass to create continuous sound sculptures that take the listener on a journey of chance and stripped back melodies, with no maps other than curious consequence.”
http://www.myspace.com/tpoem

DJ ANDY SMITH - Freestyle Mix (FSRCD013)
Featuring Flow Dynamics 'Live in the Mix', the eclectic mix of sounds contained on this CD is a wonderful homage to DJ Andy Smith's broad tastes. With a career under his belt that takes in sample sourcing for Portishead, creating the hugely popular "Document" mix series, a packed global DJ diary, performing live alongside Boca 45 as Dynamo Productions, as well as being one of the most prolific and eclectic DJs the UK has to offer, it seemed only right that Andy would be the person Freestyle chose for their first ever Freestyle Mix. Focusing on the modern funk side of things, with a side helping of latin and soul, Andy has created another monster mix CD - perfect for listening to in your home, car, on your ipod or even to liven up a flagging house party! The CD takes a number of twists and turns, with numerous shouts and drops from Andy's own vaults. As another exclusive "Freestyle Mash-up" is exactly that - a cut and paste mash-up of Freestyle past hits - never to be released anywhere else!

Hello World
by Anousheh Ansari
September 21, 2006

I'm finally here… the trip was long but definitely worth it… well let me start from the beginning…

The day started early for us in Baikonur. We got up at 1:00 am Baikonur time and had a short breakfast, followed by an alcohol rub down. Then we were given a set of white long johns to wear under our flight uniforms to go to the launch site.

We had a brief prayer and blessing session and as we were leaving our rooms, we signed our bedroom doors. This is a tradition that they say started with Yuri Gagarin. They also say that the cleaning lady who came to clean the room the next day started scrubbing down the signature until she was quickly stopped. So, my signature now rests next to Greg Olsen, the 3rd Private space explorer and Marcos Pontes, the first Brazilian Astronaut.

I called my grandmother before I left since she could not be in Baikonur. She wished me good luck and safe return.

We then proceeded to the bus to go to the Launch site. From the Cosmonaut Hotel door to the bus is a short walkway. On both sides of the walkway there were family and friends and journalists snapping pictures and taking video footage. In the blinding lights of the cameras, I was able to identify all my family members who came for the launch. They were up in the early hours of the morning to see me off on my great adventure. My Mom was crying and everyone else was trying hard not to show their tears.

We got on the bus and headed to the launch site. During this whole time I was surprisingly calm. I thought that the morning of the launch, I would be a nervous wreck, but to my great surprise I had no fear or anxiety.

We drove to the building where we would prepare for our launch and we went in the room to get suited. One by one, we entered the room, first Misha Tyurin, then Michael L.A., and then me.

After we were all suited up, we went into a room with a glass wall on one side for the final approval from the officials and a suit leak check. On the other side of the glass wall, my mom, sister Atousa, and my husband Hamid were already in the room and seated in the front row. So were Misha's family and Mike's. The room was full of reporters. We sat there for a while waving and trying to talk using sign language with our family members as they would come into the room in small groups and leave to make room for the next group of people. We must have looked really funny on camera since we were making strange faces and gestures…

We did our leak check and were officially good to go. We were then escorted back to the bus as we waved to the crowd and reporters. The next tradition was the short stop of the bus for the boys to take a leak. This also apparently started with Gagarin and still goes on… Fortunately, I was excused from this exercise and was able to just mentally participate.

We stopped at the foot of the rocket and got out and walked up the ladder that leads to a tiny elevator barely big enough for the 3 of us. We got in and were lifted to the top section to enter the capsule. We went through a tent and then into the habitation module.

I was the first to enter. I was still very calm, excited… but calm. I don't think my heart rate went over 100 (I'm usually in the 80's). I had a permanent smile tattooed on my face. I was seated and strapped in.

L.A. came down next and got situated in his tiny space and last was Misha Tyurin. we were still about 2 hours away from launch and there was a series of procedures the two of them had to go through. I was responsible for three simple actions — to turn the condensation valve and switch it between habitation module and descent module, to open and close the oxygen supply valve as needed (pretty important task! ;-)), and to hand the other crew members the flight data files that were situated next to me. Fortunately, not too complicated and I was able to perform my duties as needed.

I followed their actions step by step through the flight data files and made some personal notes on the margins of my book, when I had a chance. Finally the moment arrived and the countdown started. LA, Misha and I put our hands together and said “Ready… here we go.” I thanked God for helping me realize my dream and for everything it has given me. I asked it to fill the heart of all its beings with its love and to bring peace to this beautiful creation we call Earth.

5… 4… 3… I'm really going…2…I love you Hamid…1… and a smooth lift off.

Watching Soyuz TMA 8 launch, I never thought it would be this smooth inside the capsule… It was like an airplane takeoff — then the G's started but very mild. I think we hit about 2 or 2.5 Gs max… then the separation and the Nose Fairing ejected. Still very smooth. A ray of light filled the capsule and warmed my heart. I think I was laughing out loud. The joy in my heart was indescribable…

The separation of final stage was the most noticeable to me and then Weightlessness…

This wonderful feeling of freedom that puts a smile on everyone's face. I slowly lifted off my seat and continued giggling. I just couldn't believe it… to be honest with you, the whole thing is still like a dream to me… I was strapped in so tight that I couldn't look outside. Finally when we were safe in the orbit, we were able to open our visors and to loosen our belts…

L.A. took his glove off and it started floating in the cabin. I could not stop giggling the whole time… I was finally able to take a look outside and saw the Earth for the first time… Tears started rolling down my face. I could not catch my breath… Even thinking about it now still brings tears to my eyes. Here it was this beautiful planet turning graciously about itself, under the warm rays of the Sun… so peaceful…so full of life… no signs of war, no signs of borders, no signs of trouble, just pure beauty…

How I wished everyone could experience this feeling in their heart, specially those who are at the head of the governments in the world. may be this experience would give them a new perspective and help bring peace to the world.

I think that is enough for now… I shall let you know about the ride up here in the next entry… I'm hungry for some space food now and will catch up with you in the next orbit… right now we are flying over the Pacific Ocean approaching Mexico…

Old News

20.05.06 - Eurovision Sucks

Most non-european countries consider Eurovision to be something like "stupid charade and a festival of cheesy music". I thought, they're just jealous, but after reading news this morning and this years' winner announcement I feel like the description from above fits perfectly. This years' winners are a bunch of 80's melodic hard rock nerds dressed as monsters and aliens, calling themselves LORDI. Terrible presentation, even worse music... though nothing new for an embarrassing music scene of Finland.

Real 80's video - perhaps acceptable for its time.

2006 Video <--- Someone please tel me this is a joke.
