"In Christy & Emily's music, we find unconventional rockers with Brazilian baiao

rhythms seated in a psychedelic suicide ballads invoking the sordid tales in the

Harry Smith Anthology and chords borrowed from Schumann and Liszt with a

chorus that nods to Brian Wilson." - Digital In Berlin

Since 2002 Linton's fascination with instantaneous collaborative audio visual communication among select units of electronic musicians and visualists has assumed the form of a live television Manhattan Cable/webcast project - UGTV - Unitygain Television - for which he is producer/director and an occasional performer.

Cooper-Moore is a composer-improviser, instrumentalist, designer and builder of musical instruments, and music educator, living and working in New York City. A native of the Piedmont area of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Cooper-Moore began studying piano at age eight. Four years later, he was listening to the musics
of Thelonius Monk, Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman, and working on improvisation. While his attention was focused on piano performance in New York clubs and touring abroad, Cooper-Moore began designing and building musical instruments and played them in collaboration with all kinds of artist at lofts, galleries, artist spaces, museums, and in the streets of New York City. He has over the years built an extensive instrument collection, using such material as paper, bamboo, metal, wood, and acrylic. He most often performs with his ashimba (a type of xylophone), bass diddly-bow, horizontal hoe-handle harp, three stringed fretless banjo, and electric mouth bow. His instruments have been exhibited at the Thread Waxing Gallery, NYC, and The Goddard Riverside Community Center, NYC.

7:30pm: Kurt Schwitters’ “Ursonate” performed by Christopher Meeders (AtlantASS 8:30pm)

A tour-de-force example of sound poetry, Schwitters composed The Ursonate between 1922-32 after hearing Raoul Hausmann's poem "fmsbw" performed by the author in Prague in 1921. The Ursonate (translated "Original Sonata" or "Primeval Sonata") was developed and expanded before being published in the last Merz periodical in 1932.

Sunday, July 1

7pm: Marisa Perel (AtlantASS 8pm)

http://www.marissaperel.com/

Marissa Perel is a performer who is currently based out of Brooklyn, NY. Pushing the boundaries and limitations of her body she carries out acts of endurance toward cathartic and transformational ends. Functioning within the realms of dance, performance art and installation, Perel’s use of contemporary movement and text-based processes engage audience members intimately with the traumatic personal and political substance of her work. She is an ardent collaborator with choreographers, musicians, poets and visual artists in New York and Chicago, and the practice of collaboration is a long-term artistic commitment that shapes both her solo and group projects. Perel’s curatorial work and teaching are also significant components of her artistic vision.
