A double quartet electroacoustic piece influenced by Gustav Mahler's seminal composition Song of the Earth (1909). The music includes polyphony, heterophony, nodality, swing, cultural diversity, and live streams of environmental sound from geographically diverse locations via the internet.
This concert is part of a new series curated by Dave Taylor, presented by the Austrian Cultural Forum and the Manhattan New Music Project: "The Emancipation of Re:Sonance - Five Austrian Masters Revisited", which focuses on five of Austria's most famous composers and the re-interpretation, re-imagination, and re-arrangement of some of their greatest works. The title of the series plays on Arnold Schönberg's concept of the "Emancipation of Dissonance".

The duo of Al Margolis ( If, Bwana) and Doug Van Nort utilizes two distinct approaches to manipulating sampled material, grabbing one another's sound on the fly and forming an endless feedback loop of re-imagined sonic identities. The result is a rich palette of sound informed by classic electronic composition, minimalist drone works, and modern noise music. "Structure to chaos, drone to acoustic collages..."

Genetic Orchestra #6: Deep Listening Genetic Orchestra 2011
A co-creation with the students of the Deep Listening Class
For the past three weeks, the students of the Deep Listening class have been mutating and breeding a shared pool of sounds using an evolutionary process. The sound qualities embedded within the resultant sound pool are used by Van Nort in order to create a structured piece. Using a custom software instrument to stretch, shift, loop and transform the evolved material, the players improvise within the confines of the score. This brings to life a sonic tapestry that results from the collective decisions of the group - thus is born the Deep Listening Genetic Orchestra 2011!

Special thanks to Pauline Oliveros and Alejandro Borsani for assistance in making this event possible.

An evening of psycho-electro-acoustics and free improvisation
featuring
Pauline Oliveros, Francisco Lopez, Doug Van Nort and Jonas Braasch
Please join us for a very special evening that promises to span a vast sonic terrain, challenging listener and performer alike through a seamless blend of Deep Listening and Absolute Noise, moving between ever-fluid improvisation and carefully controlled sound manipulation.
This quartet convened for two improvisational sessions between February and May of this year, with Lopez sitting in on a Triple Point recording session and bringing his finely crafted sonic objects-as-instruments, further spanning the electro-acoustic divide that has become Triple Point's calling, with their blending virtual accordion, greis sound transformation system and soprano saxophone. These sessions have since become raw material for the individual artists to construct new visions of this shared sonic body - personal reflections culled from a collective tapestry.
This concert will feature these new personalized interpretations, presented with an expansive 16 channel sound system at the one and only Deep Listening Institute. Moving back from the personal to the collective, this will be followed by the world premiere of the new quartet in full improvisatory mode! Fragments from this crafted past will blend with reactions to the moment, sonic gestures being shared between players and sculpted within this unique space.
NOT to be missed!!

EMPAC Studio 1, 10am -5pm
Blindfield sonic installation
This piece is the result of a collaboration between students of the Production, Installation and Performance course - co-taught by Michael Oatman of Architecture and Doug Van Nort of the Arts dept. - and sound artist Francisco Lopez. One hundred beautifully-constructed translucent fabric+wood panels will be hung in order to create a dense forest wherein materials and light playfully interact. From within this structure will emanate a highly distributed field of sound, with Lopez constructing a new work for this built visual/acoustic environment.
Featured together in a telematic performance accordion legend Pauline Oliveros performs live in Guelph (ON, Canada) with Anne Bourne (cello), Guelph's own Ben Grossman (hurdy gurdy) and Jesse Stewart (percussion). They will be connected to two other sites, where they will be joined by Ricardo Arias on balloon (in Bogota, Colombia), by Jonas Braasch on soprano sax, Doug Van Nort on greis/electronics and Curtis Bahn on dilruba/electronics (Troy, NY).
Following at EMPAC is a local performance of containment and dispersence by Curtis Bahn, Jonas Braasch, Doug Van Nort and Blair Neal (live video).

Van Nort, harmonica
NF Chase, Bowed Music Stand
Jonathan Chen, Violin
Cristyn Magnus, Melodica
Al Margolis, Clarinet and Toys
Jefferson Pitcher, Electric Guitar

Telematic Performance of Alvin Lucier's Quasimodo the Great Lover, with Mark Dresser's class at UCSD and Tintinnabulate at RPI. I am working with the RPI group to create various spaces in our local environment connected via JackTrip - from large reverberant rooms driven by boomboxes to small milk jugs driven by audio transducers - that will interact with local and remote performers. As a player, I will mix/route/equalize these spaces and help to shape the sound. The performance will be streamed via ustream.
UPDATE: The performance was great and streamed well, if a bit pixelated. Here is the video:
Free TV : Ustream
I'm the guy in the red shirt, mixing the sound into different spaces at RPI: guitar body, transducer/milk bottle, large room with boombox/mic, narrow hallway and finally guitar amp pointed at piano strings with pickup. I'm also responsible for the good as well as the bad feedback!
It was a joy to help direct and make this piece happen -- there are some very nice moments in this 45 minutes.
