from the Disquiet Junto performances at Apex Art last night, in mp3 form:

"Ladies' Paradise I" [mp3 rmoved to Bandcamp]*

"Who Let Him Out? (Ladies' Paradise II)" [mp3 moved to Bandcamp]*

"Semi-Aleatoric" (mp3 moved to Bandcamp)

"Spring Forward" (mp3 moved to Bandcamp)

"New Wavs" [mp3 removed -- tune is now on Bandcamp]

"Fork It Over (Remix)" [mp3 moved to Bandcamp]

Many thanks to event organizer Marc Weidenbaum and Apex for a well-planned, fun evening.
*I told Marc I would post on Soundcloud the two "Ladies' Paradise" remixes above, based on samples I made from the Disquiet Junto retail store field recordings, but I lied. Just realized Soundcloud requires a Facebook login, and you know what that means around here. For the time being I hope I can be classed as a Junto Adjunct - if that's OK with Marc.

Update: Am told I "don't need Facebook to make a Soundcloud account" but this sign-up screen has Zuckerprints all over it!

Update 2:

woodfloors: that's just a button.. the form below requires no such zuckery

tommoody: if that's the case they need to work on their layout - "sign up with facebook" probably shouldn't be the first thing you see when you come to the login screen

melipone: fb wants and is close to being the single login

tommoody: it's just - it's just - evil

"As Real As It Gets" performance tonight

Comments Off on "As Real As It Gets" performance tonight

Tonight I'll be performing music at Apex Art in Tribeca in connection with the Rob Walker-curated exhibit "As Real As It Gets." Marc Weidenbaum organized the sound art component of the show, which runs until December 22, including tonight's event.

Repeating my earlier description:
Walker's show deals with branding and commercialism, including fictional precedents and fake products. Inspired by Emile Zola's description of a bustling 19th Century department store, Weidenbaum asked musicans to make and then modify field recordings of actual retail spaces in the present-day world.
My performance will include a music piece based on some of these recordings, as well as one other recent work.

The other performers are Arcka (Shawn Kelly), Brian Biggs, Ethan Hein, Kenneth Kirschner, Joon Oluchi Lee, and Roddy Schrock. The event starts at 6:30 pm at Apex Art, 291 Church Street, New York, NY. I hope to see you there.
