An evening of video, sound, and light performance
Thurs, Aug 28  8pm
@ Issue Project Room (232 3rd Street, 3rd Floor, Brooklyn)

* Twisty Cat (Ed Bear/Lea Bertucci/Anastasiya Osipova - bass  
clarinet/bari sax/projections)
* Woody Sullender & Katt Hernandez (banjo/violin duo)

* Twisty Cat

Ed Bear- Baritone Sax, Lea Bertucci- Bass Clarinet, Tianna Kennedy-  
Cello, Anastasiya Osipova- Projections

Expanded projections using 35mm slides focus on the constitutive  
components of the cinematic experience.   Multiple projectors are  
employed to create motion without obscuring the real process and  
technology used. The Bass Clarinet and Baritone Saxophone are  
acoustically married to each individual venue through electronic  
feedback. .   Timbral explorations of each instrument occurring as  
improvised and composed harmonic structures are electronically  
abstracted.   Because both the projections and sound are tied to the  
performance environment, the structure of the music intertwines with  
that of the projections.   The creation of an immediate awareness of  
space aims to break the antiquated barriers between performance and  
audience and realize the innate human potential of sound and light as  
energy and information.


* Woody Sullender/Katt Hernandez duo

Woody Sullender (banjo/electronics)
http://www.deadceo.com/unclewoody
Over the past few years, Woody Sullender has been defining himself as  
a pre-eminent experimental banjo performer, playing with and against  
the cultural baggage of the instrument. While alluding to the  
"traditional" musics of his home states of Virginia and North  
Carolina, he explores a diverse plane of plucked string music from  
around the world as well as incorporating punk, noise, free jazz, etc..

Most recently, with technical advising from STEIM, Sullender has been  
developing an electro-acoustic banjo with various parameters of  
computer synthesis and processing algorithms being controlled by  
sensors on the instrument. Previously, he has worked with pioneering  
electronic composers such as Pauline Oliveros and Maryanne Amacher  
(incorporating his banjo recordings into Amacher's "TEO! A sonic  
sculpture" which won the Golden Nica prize at the 2005 Ars Electronica  
festival).

Katt Hernandez (violin)

Katt Hernandez recently moved to Philadelphia, after living in the  
Boston area for nine years, playing the violin, running spaces, and  
producing shows. She has collaborated with a magnificently variegated  
sea of musicians, dancers, and others including but certainly not  
limited to Joe Maneri, Zack Fuller, David Maxwell, John Voigt, Joe  
Burgio, Vashti Bunyan, Eric Rosenthal, Jeff Arnal, Andrew Neumann, and  
Hans Rickheit. She has twice been invited to perform on the Autumn  
Uprising , High Zero and Improvised and Otherwise festivals. She has  
been a guest artist at MIT, Harvard, and the New England Conservatory,  
performed in a vast slew of local venues and to date any number of  
subway passages, urban grottos, and troglyditical performance places,  
as well as other experimental and life-making places throughout the  
Bos-Wash metropolii.
