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.

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.

In the past 6 years he has added 21 albums to his discography on 9 different vanguard labels in 4 different countries. His musical experiences are extremely diverse and his ever expanding variety of approaches to music making result in dramatically new and different outcomes.

Preceding the concert, Thollem McDonas will give a short talk on harmony and improvisation.

Not long after birth Thollem began studying the keyboard repertoire from the medieval to the 20th century. After graduating with degrees in both piano performance and composition he dedicated his time for years in grassroots political and ecological movements before returning to his own music with his full focus in 2006. He is currently touring perpetually as a soloist, in collaboration with many other individuals and groups as well as leading large ensemble free improvisation workshops.

Thollem has performed in theaters, art galleries, universities, elementary schools, concert halls,
 jazz clubs, rock clubs, festivals, warehouses, house concerts, streets, forests, riots and on
 television, radio and the internet. He has performed piano concertos with symphonies, played in West African drumming troupes, Javanese gamelan ensembles, punk bands, free improv ensembles, and regularly collaborates as a comproviser for film and modern dance.

“Thollem’s keyboard flights unleash cascades of notes of seemingly impossible velocity and no matter where he goes tonally, it always seems right, fresh and satisfying.  He should be on everyone’s listening list who appreciates great piano music.  As an improviser, he inhabits a world uniquely his own, rhythmically, harmonically and formally.  A true original.” - Terry Riley

The Darmstadt Institute is made possible, in part, through generous support from the Dedalus Foundation and with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council

Tonight’s featured guest is Gry

Gry was born in Denmark in 1975, and grew up in Denmark, Norway and Mozambique. For the past 20 years she has been writing, composing and performing sound art, opera, radio plays, acapella, electronic and pop music. Her unique way of singing and using her voice include recording and looping of words, rhythms, and tones, creating experimental and melodic compositions. Gry’s text work has its own poetic logic; in her idiosyncratic way she deals with love, life, and death in both Danish and English, in some songs even with these and many other languages mixed together. In her live performances each composition is build up from scratch leaving the artist naked for the audience who can follow the act of creation while it happens. With her outstanding voice, exceptional originality and beauty, Gry is embodying the spectrum from dramatic pop to crazy avant-garde in a way that makes her a candidate for one of the most stunning contemporary divas.

In the beginning of the 90’s Gry founded the the sound-art group Æter with Jacob Kirkegaard and they started their first City Scape Europe, capturing the sounds, images and words from European metropoles and made compositions and concerts with the material. Gry then met the legendary drummer FM Einheit (Einstürzende Neubauten) and they started the band GRY, creating hits such as Princes crocodile and touring both Europe and USA. In 2000 Gry started a master study at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne and graduated in 2006 during the study time She founded the group The Loverz. She then moved to Berlin to start her own label, Present Records, and in In 2008 Gry released her first solo album, “Anima”. Anima is the first EP in he trilogy “X-ident” which will all be released on Present Records.

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
