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

Tonight’s featured guest is Shinya Sugimoto / KenYa Kawaguchi / Jeremy D. Slater (1 set)

Shinya Sugimoto (1979) is a New York-based Japanese composer and recording engineer. Sugimoto merges recorded samples such as Renaissance choral, nature sound, electronic sound and improvisational piano phrases into a polyphonic structure of multilayered sound, creates obscure soundscapes, which are often grotesque and catastrophic. Although largely based on western classical tonality and twelve-tone technique, his musical style crosses over immensely broad field.

Born in Japan, Sugimoto studied piano, classical harmony, counterpoint and audio engineering. Around 2000, under the influence of glitch electronic music, he started using Max/MSP, developed a texture-oriented compositional method, which was also deeply rooted in 20th-century classical music and ambient music by composers such as Claude Debussy, Arnold Schoenberg, Olivier Messiaen, Toru Takemitsu and Brian Eno.

After settling in New York City in 2006, Sugimoto has been involved in various projects as a recording engineer, pianist, arranger and film composer. He has been frequently attending SHARE open jam sessions, played solo performance sets at ISSUE Project Room in 2009 and in 2010. He currently resides and works in Brooklyn.
