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.
This weekend, March 26th and 27th at 8:30 PM, we will be presenting Mémoire-en-Ciel at Highways Performance Space in Los Angeles. In 2007 we presented the west-coast premiere of Aqua Madora here, and it’s a great pleasure to be back.
On the program are Undress Me Not by Ana Baer-Carrillo, Pat Stone, and Caren McCaleb; Mujeres de Juárez by Randy Gibson and Ana Baer-Carrillo, and to close the night: the world premiere of Mémoire-en-Ciel by Dani Beauchamp and Randy Gibson.
I’ve just uploaded a new audio sample of Aqua Madora. The video on the page is still from the Permanent Wilting performance with Dani Beauchamp dancing. I’ve added a sample of the “Table” section of the Triplicate performance which was expertly recorded by Mike Rugnetta here.
I’m also including the sample after the jump. here
With the start of the 2008-2009 season upon us, many changes are in the works for Avant Media Performance.
Dani Beauchamp and Mike Rugnetta will now officially join Avant Media as Principal Artists. Their talents and creativity are a welcome addition to the core of artists leading the direction Avant Media will be taking in the coming years.
As a part of this new direction, the Principal Artists of the company: Ana, Dani, Mike and myself; will be sharing our experiences, thoughts, ideas, and whatever else strikes our fancy here, in what will become a regularly updated Journal of the activities of Avant Media Performance and its artists.

February 6-8, 2008: Avant Media artists Dani Beauchamp and Ana Baer-Carrillo will be teaching a 3 day masterclass at the Chattanooga High School Center for Creative Arts, a fine arts magnet school in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
