Share – free audio & video jam – featured guest link + boxysean (Thessia Machado and Sean McIntyre)
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.

Tonight’s featured guest is Lars Graugaard
Lars Graugaard is active in a variety of musical areas. He has a strong academic background with a degree in flute performance from The Royal Academy of Music in Denmark and a PhD from Oxford Brookes University in interactive music. His background is in a mix of musical styles, and he has always been active in music creation. He has composed more than 140 score pieces, and he was composer-in-residence for two-and-a-half years at Odense Symphony Orchestra.
As a performer he has given concerts all over the world, and when the flute was his principal instrument he recorded CDs with the music of his contemporaries as well as classical composers such as J. S. Bach, Boccherini, Spohr, Beethoven, Rossini, Reger etc. In recent years he has truned to the computer, developing it as a highly sophisticated performance vehicle in interactive or generative music. There is at times a strong eclecticism in his music, always dependent on the circumstances of its usage.
When he performers laptop music he often uses the alias Lars from Mars. Releases under this alias have been coming out on the online netlabel Pueblo Nuevo, and several of the tracks exist with videos as well for unreleased tracks. This music is characterized by an often very strong grounding in rhythms combined with at times quite abstract sound-worlds. Performances are always in realtime with use of procedures written into custom max/msp code for algorithmic rendering of the basic musical ideas and sectional development.
Many of these ideas come from research into aspects of music that account for generally perceived emotional content music. Sometimes performances are realtime improvisations with instrumental performers skilled in free improvisation, and the richness of these activities in combination provides a continuous development in research and theory and their application in composition, performance and programming.
Lars Graugaard has been professor of interactive music at Carl-Nielsen-Academy-of-Music and was a teacher for five years at Aalborg Universty’s Medialogy department. He has participated and directed several research projects, and holds several trusted positions in various international organizations in the field of music. He is part of the re-new forum for digital art.

Share – free audio & video jam – featured guests François Martig and Julien Bayle
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.

- François Martig
http://www.share.dj/share/event_info.php?eventID=700
The Landscape is the center of my artwork; it’s a mirror of our society, economy, politics. “Unattractive” landscapes attract me, so I decided to walk in industrial areas, close motorways where the pedestrian didn’t have his own place. Emotions during these walks are the starting point of my music.
