Kickstarter: Aqua Madora

Monday, December 6th, 2010

Today we launch a Kickstarter campaign to release a limited edition CD of Aqua Madora from Randy Gibson‘s intense and passionate 2008 New York City performances.

The release is scheduled for February 2011, and you can help make it a reality. The performance was recorded live and has already been edited and mixed. The funds from the kickstarter campaign will go to making a truly beautiful CD package in collaboration with our longtime designer, Oscar Henriquez.

The edition will be limited to 100 copies, 30 of which will be further embellished with vellum and a wax seal, scented with roses (as all of the performances were) and signed. Combined with the exquisite recording by Mike Rugnetta and mastering by Terminator Smile, this will be a fantastic representation of the ritualistic experience of this piece.

Avant Music Festival : Music of John Cage

Friday, February 5th, 2010

We are pleased to announce the full lineup of works by John Cage being performed on February 20th during the Avant Music Festival. It should be a truly amazing evening of performances.

One4 for Solo Drummer will be performed by percussionist and experimental composer Jude Traxler to open the concert.

The beautiful String Quartet in Four Parts, performed by MIVOS quartet, shows Cage’s stunning sense of melody and structure that were so vital to his early work.

In a slight break with tradition, Randy Gibson has developed a version of One9 for specially tuned Toy Organ that mimics the sound of the original Shō – he will be joined by Jude Traxler on conch shells to perform Two3

Closing the concert will be a monumental performance of Songbooks with solos from the Concert for Piano and Orchestra performed by members of loadbang with Megan Schubert and presented with videos of Solo for Voice 19 by Randy Gibson and Ana Baer-Carrillo originally created for John Cage at 95 as well as i-Ching based video lighting created by Oscar Henriquez.

We hope you’ll be able to join us for this and all the wonderful events taking place at Wild Project as part of the Avant Music Festival

Avant Music Festival : Music of John Cage takes place at 8PM on Saturday February 20th at Wild Project, 195 East 3rd Street.

Great experience, made a piece with the Dance Company from Giessen and made a video to the monotone of ASLSP (John Cage).

Sofia was my little assistant and we had a ball!

  • The Nature of Collaboration

    Monday, January 19th, 2009

    In December Ana Baer-Carrillo and I collaborated on Doleo Æternus, an evening-length work for musicians, computer, and video which was presented at the ISIM conference in Denver. This is a long and tumultuous work in the history of Avant Media, and it spans almost the entire duration that Avant Media has been in existence. From our first show in New York City in January of 2007, where we premiered what was then Anger, to our most recent performance, Ana’s work has been a powerful influence on my work and a guiding force keeping me grounded enough in reality to reign in, albeit ever so slightly, my penchant for the extreme.

    Doleo Æternus recording

    Monday, December 22nd, 2008

    I’ve just posted the full length recording of Doleo Æternus on this page: ISIM Recording

    The recording turned out quite well, and I want to say a big thank you to all of the performers who played so beautifully.

    Take a listen.

    Heading Home

    Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

    I’m sitting in the Denver airport on my way home from performing Doleo Æternus on Friday evening. It was a really interesting experience. Mike Rugnetta and Amali Premawardhana were fantastic. They played beautifully and I can’t wait to hear the recordings. Even though the performance is over, I still haven’t seen Ana’s video. I know we ended together and I’ve heard there were some fantastic moments of synchronicity.

    I’ll be posting clips and sound samples soon.

    I want to say a big Thank You to Mike and Amali, to Ana, to the Playground Ensemble, and to Kate and Conrad and everyone at DU and the ISIM. It was a great experience and I’m sure I’ll look back on this as the catalyst in the next phase of this piece.

    How Anger became Doleo Æternus

    Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

    I began working on Anger around the same time that Ana and I started this company. Even though it took us a long time to finally be ready to perform it ( a solid three years after the first notes were written) in many ways it was the first piece that Ana and I worked on after Alicia.

    On Friday we will be presenting the next step in the evolution of this piece: Doleo Æternus (more…)
