SUMMARY:An Intro to Sampling and Recording through Community-based Improvisation (repeat)
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop\nIn this workshop\, participants will be introduced to sampling and recording techniques through community based improvisation and audio journaling. The workshop instructors will provide live and digital instruments\, along with loopers\, effects pedals\, and basic music production gear; participants may bring their own instruments\, but this is optional. Participants will come away with a recording of a complete song built from the manipulated sounds generated during the improvisation session. \nMore specifically\, workshop participants will: \n\nExplore the idea that music is a human behavior and is hardwired into our human experience and existence.\nBecome familiar with music gear and music production considerations that include creating a structure from sampling improvisation in order to build a song.\nLearn about various tools that can be used to manipulate sound.\nWork together and support one another in creating a community based recording.\n\nThe workshop is open to all – no previous experience with a musical instrument or music production is required. \nAbout the Instructor\nKevin Cardoso is an analog hacker at heart and this nature has driven him to explore a variety of art forms that include wood\, metal\, paper\, clay\, music\, and electronics. As a creative arts therapist\, he has experience teaching people of various age groups and abilities. He feels that patience and flexibility is an important approach to help people loosen up\, learn\, engage with the process\, and find satisfaction with their work. \nBen Turner is a musician and songwriter\, and these interests have driven him to embrace the manipulation of sound in the home recording studio. He is a music therapist\, with a background in various age groups and populations. He attended the College of Wooster and the Cleveland Music Therapy Consortium. He believes that improvisation and audio recording are great platforms for embracing innate musicality\, and integrating the head and the heart.

SUMMARY:November 2017 Frequency Fridays: Tusia Dabrowska (NYC) + Marcia Custer (CLE) + Veronica Pejril (IN) + Bobb Hatt (CMH)
DESCRIPTION:Our November 2017 Frequency Fridays show features performance/video artist Tusia Dabrowska (NYC)\, intermedia performance artist Marcia Custer (CLE)\, experimental electronic musician Veronica Pejril (IN)\, and experimental multi-instrumentalist Bobb Hatt (CMH). Date: Friday\, November 3 2017. Location: It Looks Like It’s Open (13 E. Tulane Rd.\, 43202). Admission: $10\, $15 for 2. Doors open 8pm. BYOB\, all ages. Our Frequency Fridays 2017-2018 season is supported by grants from the Greater Columbus Arts Council\, the Ohio Arts Council\, and the National Endowment for the Arts. \nAbout the performers:\nTusia Dabrowska is a time-based artist and writer. Her focus is on video and live art projects. Recent work has been seen at\, among others\, The Print Screen Festival (Tel Aviv\, Israel\, 2016)\, The Great Wall of Oakland (Oakland\, CA\, 2016)\, TAFNY (NY\, NY\, 2015)\, Loop Discovery (Barcelona\, Spain 2015)\, CologneOff (Cologne\, Germany/Tel Aviv\, Israel\, 2014)\, Slingshot (Athens\, GA\, 2014). Her writing/translation has appeared in the Nth Position (poetry)\, the Forward (translation)\, Aish (personal essay)\, Vida\, and The Vassar Review (translation). Tusia is a recipient of the Puffin Foundation Grant (2014) and an Asylum Arts alumni (2015 and 2016). In the winter 2017\, she will attend the Signal Culture Residency. She holds degrees from the New School\, Trinity College Dublin\, and NYU. Tusia shares her time between Warsaw and Brooklyn. \nMarcia Custer is a valley-girl-vocalizing\, noise-making clown-witch with a penchant for both the bizarre and the sublime. She makes live performance and sound events by building worlds of psychic chaos and physical comedy in real time. There are usually wigs and dolls. Whatever happens on stage (or in a basement\, or a bookstore\, or a backyard) is informed by the moment\, the feelings in the room\, the taste of the air. Her premier one-woman noise-comedy i went down to the water and found myselfie there (co-produced by Cleveland Public Theater) has been seen in Philadelphia\, Chicago\, Washington\, D.C.\, Chapel Hill\, Cincinnati\, and Pittsburgh. Based in Cleveland\, Ohio\, Marcia also sings with freak-pop band Half an Animal and has collaborated with artists like SPACEBEACH\, Khaki Blazer\, Faangface\, Ben Oblivion\, and NRML GRL. She holds a B.A. in Dance Studies from Kent State University\, where she received the School of Theater and Dance Award for Outstanding choreographer\, and completed a post-baccalaureate program at Headlong Performance Institute\, where she learned about clowning- french style (Lecoq)\, performative presence\, and alternative choreographic processes. \nVeronica Pejril’s music explores the liminal space between found-sound and surreal soundscapes. Relying primarily on “ordinary” sounds from everyday life for source material\, she manipulates and entangles those sounds into acoustically improbable realities. Veronica’s mentors and teachers include Paul Lansky\, Milton Babbitt and JK Randall. She draws further inspiration from the worlds of blues and jazz. Her most recent large publication\, Bluebird\, is available on iTunes\, Google Play\, and other digital repositories. \nBobb Hatt is an experimental artist who has been active for the last decade in Columbus\, OH. Drawing influence from free jazz\, performance art\, harsh noise\, and power electronics\, he has developed a sound that is abrasive\, texturally complex\, and very\, very loud. This particular performance will be delivered in stereo with an alto saxophone filtered through an array of electronic pedals\, utilizing beat frequencies\, pitch modulation\, layers of distortion\, and various other manipulations via powerful amplifiers\, with an animistic fascination for the sheer force the speakers can purvey.

SUMMARY:Performance: J Collin (UK) + Sun Trash (CMH) + Shred van Winkle (CMH) + Jordan Spencer (CMH)
DESCRIPTION:On the evening of Sunday\, November 12th we are proud to present experimental guitarist J Collin (UK)\, free jazz duo Sun Trash (CMH)\, experimental electronic multi-instrumentalist Shred van Winkle (CMH)\, and sound artist Jordan Spencer (CMH). The performance will take place at the It Looks Like Its Open gallery (13 E. Tulane Rd\, cmh 43202). Admission: $5. Doors 7:30pm. BYOB\, all ages. \nAbout the performers:\nJ Collin is a guitar player from Lancashire\, UK\, currently based in Sweden. On record he plays either improvised freeform abstract blues or through-composed minimalistic utilitarian drone music. His live shows are improvisations using a system of body\, mind\, breath\, strings and electricity. His most recent LP is The Nature (Early Music; 2017). \nSun Trash is a free music/ friendship duo of Nick Weckman (clarinet\, trombone\, voice\, loops\, uke\, trash) and Caleb Miller (sax\, MS-20\, keys\, clarinet\, laptop\, trash) based in Columbus\, OH. They simply strive to make something together. \nNathan-Andrew Leaflight (Shred van Winkle) began his studies of keyboards\, electronic music\, and ethnomusicology at Oberlin College’s Conservatory in the early 1980s. By the mid 80s\, he was combining various world musics with both rock music and electronic compositions. He began studying pedal harp in the early 1990s\, under the tutelage of Jane Cauffiel Thompson (a student of Carlos Salzedo’s). The primary rationale for this? His feeling that there were already just too many great pianists. He began his experiments with amplified harp and effects pedals in the mid 1990s. In 2000\, he joined Philadelphia avant-prog band The Red Masque as a founding member. In the mid 2000s\, he switched to playing the electric lever harp. Time passed. Seasons changed. The world went on its way\, as it does… \nShred van Winkle is an attempt at metaphorical autobiography. He is a character who has slept too long\, and now feels separated from his natural time\, in surroundings surprisingly unfamiliar. The persona and the music are a means of addressing modern society’s staggering pace of development\, which has far outstripped any meaningful changes in its most basic component: the individual person. \nJordan Spencer lives in Columbus\, OH. He is behind the cassette label Cabin Floor Esoterica and the print operation Painted Door Press. His recent sound work has explored small sounds\, field recordings\, sine tones and strings with an ear toward domesticity and accidents. This evening he will present a short sound installation for five cassette players.

SUMMARY:December 2017 Frequency Fridays: Monica Panzarino (NYC) + Troy Rogers (MN) + Will Soderberg (IL) + galen tipton (CMH)
DESCRIPTION:Our December 2017 Frequency Fridays show features video artist Monica Panzarino (NYC)\, composer/semi-nomadic robot herder Troy Rogers (MN)\, experimental electronic musician Will Soderberg (IL)\, and experimental electronic musician galen tipton (CMH). Date: Friday\, December 1 2017. Location: It Looks Like It’s Open (13 E. Tulane Rd.\, 43202). Admission: $10\, $15 for 2. Doors open 8pm. BYOB\, all ages. Our Frequency Fridays 2017-2018 season is supported by grants from the Greater Columbus Arts Council\, the Ohio Arts Council\, and the National Endowment for the Arts. \nAbout the performers:\nMonica Panzarino (b. 1979\, New York\, NY) is a video artist and educator. Her single-channel\, performance\, and installation works combine real-time image/sound manipulations with a feminist\, and often humorous\, critique of American popular culture. Panzarino received a Master of Fine Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2011\, and a Bachelor of Fine Art from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 2002. Her work has exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago\, Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art in Nashville\, TN\, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston\, MA\, the European Media Art Festival in Osnabrück\, Germany\, WRO Media Art Biennale in Wroclaw\, Poland\, the Chicago Underground Film Festival\, Art in General in New York\, NY\, and Aggregate Space Gallery in Oakland\, CA\, among other venues. She was an artist-in-residence at Signal Culture in Owego\, NY in 2016 and 2015\, and at the Experimental Television Center in Owego\, NY in 2008\, 2007\, and 2003. Panzarino currently lives in Queens\, NY. She teaches in the Film/Video Department at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn\, NY. \nFor over 13 years\, composer Troy Rogers‘ creative work has focused on the development and exploration of robotic musical instruments as generators of new musical possibilities. As a musical robot maker\, he co-founded Expressive Machines Musical Instruments (EMMI)\, a group of composers dedicated to exploring and expanding the potential of robotic musical instruments. As a Fulbright scholar\, he spent time at the Logos Foundation in Ghent\, Belgium working with Godfried-Willem Raes and what is perhaps the world’s largest robot orchestra\, where he developed a singing vocal robot\, Stemmetje. Living the life of an early 21st century semi-nomadic robot herder\, he resides in Duluth\, MN when not touring the country in the RoboRig\, a mobile platform for the development and dissemination of music for robots. He performs on streets and stages alike as Robot Rickshaw. Rogers is also a committed independent educator\, regularly presenting lectures and offering Making Music with Robots and STEAM education workshops at universities\, galleries\, community art centers\, makerspaces\, and schools throughout the US. \ngalen tipton is a queer nonbinary artist currently based out of Columbus\, Ohio. Their work explores relationships between the assumed-to-be “natural” and the “unnatural\,” queerness and identity\, ethical utopias and eco futurism\, the repurposing of waste and excess\, as well as the nuances of intimacy between things living and not living. Their work is often childish and triumphant\, embracing minimalism and maximalism simultaneously— always with a strong sense of play. \nWill Soderberg is an interdisciplinary artist working in sound\, video\, installations\, and performance who is active in community media and as an educator. He is a Michigan native\, now residing in suburban Chicago. Recent artist residencies include Ragdale (Lake Forest\, IL)\, Signal Culture (Owego\, NY) and Entropy Stereo (Redford\, MI). Recent works include music for the award-winning animated short film “Lingua Absentia” (2016\, by Kate Raney & Jeremy Bessoff)\, and composed and performed live electronic music for EnidSmithDance groups’s “Interstice” (February 2016). Soderberg’s recordings are available at whiterosenetwork.bandcamp.com
