Cycling ’74’s Expo ‘74 closing party at 110 Livingston Street with Luke DuBois & Todd Reynolds
ISSUE Project Room will host the closing party for Expo ’74 at its 110 Livingston Street space on Sunday, October 16. Luke DuBois, the primary architect of Jitter and an ISSUE Project Room board member, and violinist Todd Reynolds will perform.
Doors are at 7:30, and the concert will begin at 8:30.
Luke DuBois is the co-author of Jitter, a software suite for the real-time manipulation of matrix data. He appears on nearly twenty-five albums both individually and as part of the avant-garde electronic group The Freight Elevator Quartet. He currently performs as part of Bioluminescence, a duo with vocalist Lesley Flanigan that explores the modality of the human voice, and in Fair Use, a trio with Zach Layton and Matthew Ostrowski, that looks at our accelerating culture through electronic performance and remixing of cinema.
Todd Reynolds is a composer, conductor, arranger and violinist, a longtime member of Bang On A Can, Steve Reich and Musicians, and Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Project. His commitment to genre-bending and technology-driven innovation in music has produced innumerable collaborations with artists who regularly cross musical and disciplinary boundaries, placing him in venues from clubs to concert halls around the world.
Expo ’74 is a user conference devoted to Max software, an interactive visual programming environment for music, audio, and other media. It will be held at NYU/Poly, in collaboration with the Brooklyn Experimental Media Center. For details and registration, visit cycling74.com.
Mari Kimura with Liubo Borissov and Kevork Mourad
Organic Digits: Kimura-Borissov-Mourad Project
Mari Kimura teams up with visual artists Liubo Borissov and Kevork Mourad, presenting everything from her virtuosic solo works of her signature bowing technique Subharmonics, to realtime interactive audio visual works, using Issue Project Room’s 15 channel diffusion system. Kimura’s violin and Mourad’s paintings are processed in realtime using MaxMSP/Jitter, a bowing motion sensor “Augmented Violin” (IRCAM), and Borissov’s interactive graphics video processing. Kimura will present her current works using the Augmented Violin system in collaboration with the Realtime Interaction Team at IRCAM, which allows her to ‘clone’ her playing by recording her bowing gesture along with sound. The program also includes a virtual video duet of Japanese Shamisen and violin, written by a Shamisen Master Mojibe Tokiwazu IV, the head of the House of Tokiwazu, the traditional Kabuki orchestra since the 1700s. Kimura will also present an elegant processing work by Japanese MaxMSP guru Takayuki Rai, and a blisteringly fast masterpiece by Conlon Nancarrow.
