6 PM - 11PM

Two sound installations:

Humming Bird Feeder

Field recordings from a windy day in a quiet Iowa garden, adapted to the setting of Diapason's mulit-channel sound system. Sounds rain down, some processed and others left alone. A buzzing bird house and the occasional nothing.

World Trade Center Recordings, 1999/2001

Sounds recorded from a 1999 WorldViews Residency (LMCC/Thundergulch) on the 91st floor of the World Trade Center, Tower One. Contact microphones were affixed to the windows, picking up the sounds of wind and the movement of the building, passing helicopters and planes, people down below.

See Hear Now event

October 13, 9 PM

A video and music performance collaboration with David and Gisela Gamper and guest, Stephen Vitiello.

Gisela Gamper - original video imagery, mixing and projection system.

David Gamper - live acoustic music, digital transformation and surround sound design.

Using projectors, mirrors, fabric and speakers, Gisela and David Gamper create site-specific installations, surrounding the audience with images and music. They collaborate in the moment to merge the sonic and the visible into an immersing environment that transcends each medium.

Stephen Vitiello is an electronic musician and media artist. His body of work includes audio CDs (Light of Falling Cars, Scratchy Marimba, Uitti/Vitiello, Bright and Dusty Things), site-specific sound installations (P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center, The Project), internet commissions (Dia Center for the Arts, SF MOMA/Walker Art Center/ZKM) and over 75 soundtracks for independent film, video and dance. He has collaborated with artists, musicians and choreographers including Nam June Paik, Tony Oursler, Scanner, Frances-Marie Uitti, John Jasperse and performed internationally.

Tetsu Inoue: Ambient and computer music composer Tetsu Inoue has been recording music for more than a decade, articulating the expressive capacity of electronics through both analog and digital means. For the past 5 years Tetsu's work has been drawn upon the compositional possibilities opened up by desktop digital signal processing technologies; works such as Psychoacoustic and Fragment Dots (Tzadik) Waterloo Terminal (Caipirinha) and Dsp Holiday (Daisy World), Active/Freeze (12k label) Object and Organic Code (IEA) Field tracker with Andrew Deutsch (Anomalousrecords). These recent releases largely abandon the broad, immersive environments of his earlier works in favor of a sculptural or even architectonic approach to sound marked by density and fracture over continuity and transparency.
