what is share?

SHARE is first and foremost a platform to explore expression, in a variety of artforms. Through its weekly open jam sessions, SHARE.nyc engages its participants and spectators in a continually changing dialog on art and culture. As such, SHARE represents an ongoing exploration of collaborative performance as cultural exchange. It mines the relationship of artistic practice to cultural identity, remapping a multiplicity of cultural discourses. The act of creating artistic content in a multicultural collaborative context is a fascinating and natural extension of the SHARE concept.

Share is an open jam, not just for digirati, but for all new culture lovers. Participants bring their portable equipment, plug into our system, improvise on each others’ signal and perform live audio and video. We furnish the amplification and projection. Share happens every Sunday.

open jams and walk-in sets — Bring your equipment/instruments/gear etc. to join the jam!

audio jam: Prepared and spontaneous music from eight plus simultaneous performers. This is the time and place to perform a piece of music you’ve written and hear it on a large sound system, improvise spontaneously with other participants, get feedback on your latest project or try out that new max patch/software setup. Bring your noise maker of choice and an XLR, quarter-inch or RCA cable to join.

video jam: multi-user live video synthesis. Generating an immersive visual environment, in the SHARE tradition, in which multiple participants are able to jointly compose the video output. Try out and learn about new VJ wetware. As with the audio, walk-in sets are encouraged. Bring your clips or camera or laptop/amiga and VGA, S-Video, or RCA cables to join

8pm, free —

Tonight’s featured guest: Michael Waller & Kyle Bobby Dunn & James Ross & Alex Carpenter

Michael Waller

As a visual artist and young composer, Michael Waller is a regular supporter of Share, and the experimental music community in New York City. He has been studying North Indian Classical Music, working towards a transformation of the essence of raga into an avantgarde sound world.

His vocal raga and composition studies with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela have provided a wonderful foundation to his focus on modal, drone, and electronic means. His most notable collaboration was with Alex Waterman (Either/Or Ensemble), Yvonne Troxler (Glass Farm Ensemble), and Elizabeth Hoffman (Composer/NYU Professor) at the Tenri Cultural Institute.

Kyle Bobby Dunn

Kyle Bobby Dunn is a NY based sound artist and composer working heavily in recent years with classically trained players and performers and transferring their energies into long, well layered grafts of compositions that are at once austere, melancholy, and subtly sublime – transfused with dense and powered drones.

He has premiered his works alongside various composers and performers including Brendan Murray, Howard Stelzer, Jacob Kirkegaard, and Stephane Ginsburgh.

He has releases on Kning Disk (Sweden), Housing (Canada), and Sedimental (US). His latest recording, ‘Intimate Rituals,’ is due out later this summer on Howard Stelzer’s Squirrel Brand imprint.

Alex Carpenter

Alex is an Australian-born musician, filmmaker and researcher who recently moved to New York City. He has performed extensively in Australia as a soloist playing electric guitar, keyboard, electric zither and multiple amps, and has independently produced and coordinated many large-scale ensemble performance and multi-media events under the moniker Music of Transparent Means.

Alex’s work explores ideas of artistic transparency and perceptual engagement (in particular, the disabling of habitual perceptual strategies), and has been enthusiastically received in a diverse and unlikely collection of settings, including art galleries, record store basements, concert halls, theatres and pubs. He has provided support performances in Adelaide for visiting sound artists Francisco Lopez (Madrid) and Will Guthrie (Melbourne), and has produced several CD and DVD releases on his own label, Vanished Records. Alex’s work has been broadcast in Australia, Germany, Sweden and the US, and his score for the documentary A Shift in Perception was awarded internationally.
