08/30 @ 8:00pm - Share – collective showcase by the artists group, ‘ichiigai’ from Karlsruhe, Germany

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

fff
run by Florian Meyer since 2004.
Born 1976 in Berlin / Germany.
Demand is the sound producing usage of music related objects and machines, which are not intended to produce sound by themselves.
Main fokus is the classical dj-setup, recently reduced to only the mixing-device and/or some cables.
Hereby the process for realization of music is subjekt to various conditions and hence to sudden change at any time. The result is a ruminant quest for spaces beyond melody and rhythm.
fff-performances therefore take place along the line between boring media-art and interesting music or the other way round.

soundflorA
The artist SoundflorA is routed in traditional
singer-song writer music for voice and guitar. In 2007 she startet to use electronic devices like MIDI and drum-sampling and combined them with unusual analog instruments such as a paper-tape organ, bells and the use of found footage sound. So noise and music find a new synthesis on the border between alternativ soundtrack and radio play.
Last year SoundflorA finished the unpublished concept album „The duration of a soap bubble“
based on philosophical texts. It includes very different electro-acoustic tracks.
In general SoundflorA is a loop-based artist.
The newest project is called „I‘m a walkman band“ and more performance orientated.
For this kind of „retro-sampling“ she trys to use outmoded equipment with modern Dj-techniques and follows in the footsteps of artist like the japanese Aki Onda and his „Casette Memories“.
