Roger Kleier (electric guitar), Brian Chase (drums and percussion), with Annie Gosfield (sampling keyboard); a trio born in a torrential rainstorm meets again to mix equal parts
drama and static, rhythm and abstraction, in a parallel universe built out of guitars, electronically altered guitars, drums, electronically altered drums, and noisy altered
sample world

Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta (Lisbon)                                               Sunday 14
Voyager 66 = a trip - Route 66 = romantic reference - 66 streets, New York City - Voyager's
trip - space probe - Sounds out from the Solar system - Sounds of a 1977's planet Earth, inside the probe, now about 20 billion km from Earth - 37 years ago - a cabalistic number!
Also a trip inside each one of us - The concert includes the sounds of the audience - It is a party! It is a celebration! Like life.  - Your sound - voice, movements, words, silence,
glasses... everything - Inside outside - Starting when you arrive, ending when you go to
sleep - in another dimension - What reminds me Suzuki when he said: "The right art is purposeless, aimless!".  - In this way, Voyager 66 has no explanation -  It simply is   http://www.emanuelpimenta.net/voyager66

Carver Audain (New York)                                                                              Monday 15
My current work is an ongoing articulation of my interest in temporality and transition - aural intersections and physicality; a new piece comprised of prepared audio and radio will be presented along with recent work intended for a unique listening environment, such as the
one provided at EI      www.carveraudain.com

Jacques Diennet  (Marseille)                                                                 Wednesday 17
Le Pic Saint Loup - Jacques Diennet: composition, MIDI keyboard; Joe McPhee:
saxophone, pocket trumpet; Richard Dubelski: percussion & voice; René Bottlang: piano; Suzanne Joubert: text; Julie Demaison: production / distribution; it does not apply here a descriptive music, but the re-drawing of the image and imagination of the first emotional charge, catalyzing a place, harmonies and melodic undulations that load causes, its faults
and escarpments - as a relief of mind; playing stretching, long sequences, also built on an adversarial principle  (a dialogue ) between the abrupt tone, almost harsh percussive instruments (piano, percussion), their connotation "primitive", the saxophone and the most sophisticated digital technology instruments - Pic Saint Loup tries slipping spatio -temporal
and thus blurs confused elements of the universe, water, earth, and bring the viewer to live
a contemplative experience
Production - Ubris Studio, with the support of Marseille City; Region PACA; General Council of Bouches-du-Rhône

Seth Cluett  (US)                                                                                          Thursday 18
The artist and composer presents a new long-form work for amplified paper, oscillators and prepared zither http://www.onelonelypixel.org http://www.lineimprint.com/editions/cd/line_067/

Maurits Wouters (Belgium) with a documentary on Phill Niblock    Friday 19  
Arcadia is a non-narrative, meditative 70 minute film; the film contains 7 shots; it has one subject: a lake (and his mystic aura) - Arcadia is a meditative exercise in watching;  the film was made in the context of a PhD about domestic and performative filmpractice; it is funded by Brussels Art Platform http://www.brusselsartsplatform.be/
