Share – all night free open audio & video jam – featured guest Carver Audin
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

Tonight’s featured guest -
Carver Audain (b 1981) is a New York-based sound artist who has been creating music since 2001. Materially, he produces works using guitar, electronics, field recordings, organ, and other assorted sources. Strategically, he uses improvisational tactics to integrate a variety of pre-recorded and pre-arranged material with his live playing through the use of controlled feedback and situation-specific spontaneous composition. Sonically, he produces an array of textured sound fields with slow-shifting harmonies that both merge with and transform their physical surroundings.

VERGE ensemble, formerly known as the The Contemporary Music Forum, has been presenting concerts of new music to Washington audiences for 35 years. Throughout its existence, the ensemble has pioneered the performance of works involving music and technology, and supported music by American women composers, Native American composers and the music of African-American composers.
The ensemble recently performed an all John Cage concert at the National Gallery of Art as part of the Gallery’s 62nd American Music Festival in conjunction with the Gallery’s exhibit Jasper Johns: An Allegory in Painting 1955 – 1965. In May 2007, the ensemble joined Ensemble Aleph at Theatre Dunois in Paris for the Festival de musique Americaine to present four concerts of American music.
For the 2007/2008 season, VERGE worked with the Embassy of France to create a unique, year-long collaboration between French and American musicians, promoting new American and French music. A consortium of venues in Washington participated in these events including The National Gallery of Art, La Maison Francaise, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and Loyola College in Baltimore.
In November 2007, this collaboration produced a world premiere of Sanctuary, a work for percussion and computer by Roger Reynolds at the National Gallery of Art East Building and a concert of French violin and piano music at La Maison Francaise. The festival included a series of three concerts in Washington with VERGE and Ensemble Aleph in April 2008.
During the 2008/2009 season, VERGE promoted the 3-gen festival in Washington. The festival included special concerts throughout the Fall celebrating the centennial birthdays of Elliott Carter and Oliver Messiaen at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the National Gallery of Art, La Maison Francaise and the Library of Congress.
VERGE ensemble was in residence at Cleveland State University in October 2008 and will be in residence at June in Buffalo in 2009.
VERGE ensemble is the new music ensemble in residence at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
