Annie Bradley grind every particle Audio Foundation April 2013 Field recordings are gathered for grind every particle. In one process a car acts as a mobile recording device during the artists daily travels to and from work, operating as a base for further recordings. The work dwells in the sense of contemplative time that develops during commuting and the sharp details which form along the way. A sustained attention is given to the relationship between surfaces and the way they skim across each other when in motion - the grazing of vehicles and bodies. The road on closer inspection is revealed to be a patchwork, bogged, filled, chipped and in a state of endless repair. Forming a music of terrains, each minute detail is gently touched and repeated. The toyota 'starlet' becomes an instrument of chance in a composition across lanes. Annie Bradley is an artist based in Auckland, New Zealand. She works between various techniques ? drawing, installation, video, sound, ceramics and web based projects. Bradley has exhibited widely at local galleries; including projects at Window, Newcall, Rm and Gallery 3 ST Paul St. She graduated with an M.F.A from Elam school of Fine Arts, University of Auckland in 2003. www.anniebradley.co.nz Aerial Farm 2004 12? duration Phil Dadson b. 1946 New Zealander In January 2003, Phil Dadson received an Antarctic New Zealand Artist fellowship to travel to Scott Base and into the Dry Valleys region to record video and sound material. The resulting Polar Projects comprise eight video/sound works designed to exist as stand-alones, as in this installation, or to work in relation to one another in a similar way to instruments in an ensemble. In Aerial Farm the circular frame and wires of a communications aerial connecting Scott Base to the outside world, appear as a slowly shifting, illusory graphic outline against a gusting snowdrift and ice-grey background. The sound of the wind and aeolian tones through the wires is produced by a variable speed wind gusts. Phil Dadson is a sound and intermedia artist with a transdisciplinary practice including solo performances and exhibitions, building and performing with invented instruments, music compositions & graphic scores, sound sculptures and video / sound installations. He is represented by Starkwhite / NZ Websites: www.sonicsfromscratch.co.nz www.vimeo.com/channels/dadsonics Opening 5.30pm, Thursday 4 April 2013 Exhibition runs from Thursday 4 April to Saturday 4 May 2013.

Now using digital setup after previously working with (mostly) pedals and (mostly) feedback. Personally exploring limitations in listening capacity, and the potential for conceptual capacity to extend listening. Working more with an emotive than aesthetic conceptual basis.' Nick Graham Using a combination of mixer feedback, guitar and hacked electronics, his work plays with the cancellation and augmentation of tones as they are funnelled together into a cramped and saturated audio field.

Creating music for film (most recently the 2012 feature documentary How Far is Heaven, directed by Chris Pryor and Miriam Smith) complements her art and design practice. In recent works Shearer has been exploring the materiality of sound and the (acoustic) resonances of genealogies in site-specific installation practice. Through these works, particularly the public art commissions Imperceptible Degrees (2010-2015) in Albert Park and The Flooded Mirror (2011), a permanent sound installation situated in the Wynyard Quarter at the foot of Te Wero bridge, Shearer looks to build a spatial presence based entirely on the vibrations of acoustic forms. Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari?s ?Geophilosphy?, a philosophy based on the idea that philosophical concepts operate within and are dependent upon the complex processes of earthly life, and the M?ori notion of ?whakapapa? provide a framework for discussing her current research and practice in her presentation for the Communiqu?

The majority of his previous releases saw him working with ambient textures or electroacoustic improvisation. More recent efforts have seen him limiting the use of pedals, attempting to find a kind of transcendence through stark purity of tone. Coaxing rawness and purity, where the pickups hum and the blemishes become the highlights with Keiller using the entire guitar, attempting to make it breathe with no smoothing out of the rough edges or slick over processing. His compositions vary and grow to tell stories and create mood, with an atmosphere in parts epic wall of sound, while at others minimal and sublime. https://soundcloud.com/zac-keiller *Peter Wright's* sound works are predominantly based around drones and repetition, layering fragments of guitar in mesmerising fields of drift, conjuring up aural landscapes that place emphasis on sub-conscious memories and dreams. Weaving amongst this dense undergrowth are a myriad of tonal shifts, environmental recordings, and electronic effects, which evoke alien spirits at the periphery of sleep. http://distantbombs.bandcamp.com/ * * * * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have one recording by him: "Songs For The Dead Of Gandamek" (Bent Records LP, 1979) which you can see the details / images for here: http://www.discogs.com/Phil-Davison-Songs-For-The-Dead-Of-Gandamek/release/3719449 At some point in the early eighties he moved to Sydney where he got more into electronic / tape / collage / concrete / process music. In 1983 he put out a album called "The Din" (Pedestrian Tapes cassette, 1983) (here:?http://www.discogs.com/Phil-Davison-The-Din/release/3721344) and also performed as The Din for some time (possibly even leading a band of the same name). I have no idea what happened to him after that though I understand he is still in Sydney.?One of the works on the "The Din" album, 'Humming', was recorded live at Last and?First?Cafe in Auckland but I don't know where that was/is. The person, who gave me the Din cassette was Stuart Porter (Primitive Art Group, Black Sheep, The Wart, Garbage and the Flowers) and who knows Davison personally but didn't have news of him last time we spoke. Supposedly other Din recordings exist. Porter did the artwork and shared the cover design on the ".. Gandamek" LP and can be clearly seen in the photo on the back of the LP jacket, seated slightly to Davison's left with a slightly beatific expression on his face. The images of the cassette album I uploaded to Discogs include a business card introducing one Philip Davison, General Manager of Northsearch Marketing Pty. Ltd., Head Office in North Sydney and offices in Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, and Brisbane -- this card was inside the folded insert of the cassette.

This is an open call for project proposals, which are due on July 1st 2013. This date is firm as the one project is for the Festival of Lights which has printing deadlines. Hopefully though this timeframe will give people the opportunity to reflect and consider their proposal. The Media Art Projects are open to Aotearoa New Zealand artists here and abroad. There is one project with a budget of $6000 which has an open location and resolution date in 2014, and one $3000 project that must be realised in the Fernery of Pukekura Park, during the Festival of Lights in January/February 2014. These budget figures include all associated costs. The project description page is: http://www.intercreate.org/2013/03/media-art-projects/ It is important that proposals respond to the information on that page. The proposals will be blind reviewed. All details about applying are on the webpage. I'm happy to respond to any queries you might have, and to offer feedback up to the submission date.

Who's MAD?"* on *Friday, 3 May from 7pm at the Newtown Community Centre*, Wellington. Free entry. They'll be food, fans and friends and you'll be entertained by the sonorous sounds of SENDAM as we launch this beautiful album into the world. There will also be some extra special MYSTERY musical performances as well... Thank you to everyone for your awesome support. Please share this email generously with amongst your networks, but more importantly, come and celebrate with us. *Press Release:* The *SENDAM RAWKUSTRA* will release its first CD, "Greatest Hit?s! Who's MAD?" on Friday, 3 May from 7pm at the Newtown Community Centre, Wellington. Free entry. Recognised as "one of the best things to come out of Wellington for a very long time", the improv orchestra will perform pieces with an incredible "likeness" to those on the CD to a celebratory crowd of fans and friends. Everyone with an interest in exploratory music is welcome. To arrive at this point, those involved went on an epic voyage. For over five years SENDAM has been rehearsing at The Clubhouse, a day service run by Aspire Inc, a service for people with past or current experience of mental illness. The weekly rehearsals are always inspired, fluid and in eternal development. Following some recordings made of their expressive percussion/voice/strings/brass music in mid-winter 2012, the bands founders, Kieran Monaghan and Andreas Lepper turned to the online crowd sourcing forum 'Pozible' as a means to raise funds to share the recordings more widely. Regular updates and videos were posted onto social network forums to alert interested folk about new developments and by February 2013 the project raised $3000 to produce the audio into a stunning CD, recorded by Benni Krueger and released with support by Tasman Records. SENDAM RAWKUSTRA is recognised regularly performing at the Newtown Fair and at various other performances around town, from bishop?s inauguration to experimental music festivals and the Newtown Fair. CDs will be NZ$20 - SENDAM RAWKESTRA Youtube channel - SENDAM RAWKESTRA Facebook - SENDAM RAWKESTRA Pozible project -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ikeda?s test pattern [live set] is an intense performance of flickering black and white imagery and synchronised stark, staccato sound, generated in real-time from streams of raw data. The project probes the critical points of device performance and the threshold of human perception, pushing both to their absolute limits.

This show will also be simulcast on AFM 88.3 ? www.audiofoundation.org.nz/afm. 'Perfect Hair Forever is part of a lineage of ALTERNATIVE HISTORY BANDS, not of the historical 50s but of a FANTASTIC-ETERNAL-HIGHSCHOOL-ATTENDING 50s where there is a leavers-dance every weekend, and a melodramatic teen-adrenaline knife-fight over a girl outside a diner every night. Where romance is shared over a two straw milkshake and parents never understand.'- perfecthairforever.bandcamp.com This event will also feature the debut appearance of Auckland-based group The Muscle! The Muscle was formed in 1987 by Fred Strong after his escape from Boggo Road Gaol in Brisbane and subsequent relocation to Auckland. Between itinerant work in manual labour and slinging drugs to minors, Strong was able to teach himself to barely be able to play guitar. Having finally figured out the complexities of GarageBand, Strong is now recording his ex-con folk songs about how hard girls are to understand. https://soundcloud.com/themuscle ---------- No Guitars - Forest Spirits/Team Cat Food/Lightening, Career Girls, Lttle Phnx, Hide & Tallow - Friday 3 May, 5pm start, free Chronophonium is heaps excited to be inside First Thursdays on a Friday and a Saturday.
