SUMMARY:Tiger Village (OH) + Giant Claw (CMH) + Fatal Gaze (CMH)
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, September 8th\, we are proud to present experimental electronic musician Tim Thorton’s (CLE) solo project Tiger Village\, Keith Rankin’s (CMH) experimental electronic solo project Giant Claw\, and Fatal Gaze\, the duo project of Columbus-based experimental electronic/dark ambient musicians David Reed and Ty Owen. Doors 7:30pm\, cover $5. BYOB\, all ages. \nAbout the performances and performers:\nSince 2013\, Tiger Village has been the main project of Cleveland\, Ohio mainstay Tim Thornton. A palette of familiar sounds of electronic music past and homemade samples gets put through the ringer of process music. Often the music will come together in a way that proves nothing is accidental\, but quickly veers back into abstraction that makes the listener question their memory of a coherent\, melodic passage. A longtime employee of a local record pressing plant has exposed Thornton to many new artists over the years\, prompting the start of his label Suite 309. In addition to albums by Tiger Village\, the label has also released tapes by the likes of Giant Claw\, Matthew Akers and Fire-Toolz. Other Tiger Village material has been released by labels including Hausu Mountain\, Baked Tapes and Patient Sounds. \nIn the music he makes as Giant Claw\, Keith Rankin distills the erratic world of 21st century internet culture into a string of increasingly strange albums issued by Orange Milk\, the Ohio-based label he co-runs with fellow musician\, Seth Graham. Using melodic keyboard lines\, plunderphonic sampling\, and incessant jump cuts\, Giant Claw sketches out a jagged topography of the digital landscape. Over the last seven years\, his music has incorporated everything from vintage movie synth scores to footwork and chiptune. \nFatal Gaze makes noisy dark ambient music. Fatal Gaze is Columbus\, Ohio based musicians Ty Owen (Hadak Ura\, Death Beef) and David Reed (Envenomist\, Luasa Raelon).

SUMMARY:Heidi Hörsturz (NL) + Owen Hopper (CMH) + Throbbin Williams (CMH)
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, September 15th\, we are proud to present Rotterdam-based new media artist Heidi Hörsturz\, experimental electronic musician Owen Hopper (Cincy)\, and experimental electronic/noise musician/sound artist Throbbin Williams (CMH). Doors 7:30pm\, cover $5-$10. BYOB\, all ages. \nAbout the performances and performers:\nRotterdam based media artist Heidi Hörsturz is working in the fields of audiovisual performance\, video and sound art. Her work has been presented at international exhibitions\, galleries and art festivals. Her animations\, live shows and installations combine contemporary art and modern digital trash aesthetics. She published a series of limited soundart vinyls and audiotapes which researches the connection of noise\, artificial overstimulation and constructed visual associations. \nOne of the thematic emphasis of her work is the desire of the contemporary society to get more overstimulation in rapidly shrinking attention spans. The search for shocking informations and sexual content and the yearning for a colourful world tries to replace the current depression. The repression of self-reflection with audiovisual brain attacks represents a striving for an artificially constructed world. \nOwen Hopper is a composer\, sound artist\, guitarist\, and computer programmer based in Cincinnati\, Ohio. His work has most recently taken form in large multi-speaker installation pieces and live\, improvised performances involving modular synthesizers and computer systems. \nThrobbin Williams is the electronic music/noise art solo project of Columbus-based multi-instrumentalist Rich Meara.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Introduction to Wearable Technology with the Flora Microcontroller
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop\nThis beginner-friendly class will introduce participants to the popular microcontroller Flora. Designed with wearables in mind\, Flora is a small but powerful platform that makes integration of technology\, lights and electronics into fashion and art possible. The class will cover Flora operations and design\, basic Flora programming\, and student will create their own wearable creation. We will be using conductive thread to sew Light emitting diodes (Neopixels) onto fabric to create a light changing bracelet or broch that they will program to change colors or blink in a pattern of their choice. We will also use conductive paint and conductive tape to add an extra dimension of creativity to their project. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to integrate lights and technology into wearables and fashion but didn’t know where to start – this class is for you. \nAbout the instructor\nAlexandria Kalika is a Chicago transplant who has a degree in Physics and currently works as a Hadoop\nadministrator. By day she works in front of a computer with big data technology. By night\, she also sits in front of a computer\, but this time to look up new and exciting ways to make electronics and coding fun and interesting.

SUMMARY:October 2018 Frequency Fridays: An evening with Adi Newton (UK) w/special guests Circuitry Room (CMH)
DESCRIPTION:Our October 2018 Frequency Fridays show features Adi Newton performing solo\, with special guests Circuitry Room (CMH). Accompanying Circuitry Room on visuals are Columbus-based video artists Matt and Nicolette Swift. Date: Friday\, October 5 2018. 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 2018-2019 season is supported by grants from the Greater Columbus Arts Council\, the Ohio Arts Council\, and the Columbus Foundation. \nAbout the performers and artists:\nAdi Newton is the founder of industrial post-punk group Clock DVA and the ANTI Group\, an industrial jazz and visual arts project created in tandem with engineer Robert Baker. He is also the director of ARMComm Anterior Research Media Communications\, the production arm for ClockDVA/TAGC. \nCircuitry Room is a think tank for audio exploration. The founding members are Andrew Izold\, Jeff Chenault and Dan Rockwell. They have been playing together on and off since 1989. Their combination of old-school electronics and high tech digital applications culminate into a wall of sound that is beyond categorization. Based in Ohio\, Circuitry Room seek out new forms of expression while maintaining a dark mischievous edge. Their sound is constantly changing and evolving while their “live” sonic improvisations provide a unique and challenging listening experience. \nMatt Swift is an all-around visual artist living in Columbus\, Ohio. His work is not limited to any one medium or mode including photography\, painting\, video\, digital compositions\, mixed media and anything else that may be a source of inspiration. With an education in Art History\, Film and Media Studies\, and Library Science\, the majority of his work stems from a deep connection to the historical avant-garde and experimental movements of all art forms. Juxtaposition of styles to find new abstract connections is where most of his work begins. Every piece is scientifically and creatively an experiment with a hypothesis that is tested and either is proven or disproven. What engagement occurs when you mix meditation and action painting to create a wall scroll combining the styles of Jackson Pollock and Zen Buddhist painters? What about the combination of purist structuralist cinematic techniques with the motivations of Norman McLaren’s frame by frame hand etched animations inspired by music? The end result encompasses a documentation of the experiment fit for a postmodern world\, updating and educating about the styles of old through the lens of the plethora of information that is at the fingertips of our ever shrinking but also expanding digital world. \nHis current work is a conversation with alternative methods of landscape and portrait painting as performance to overcome his physical disability using various digital technologies. His recent work explores the intersection of human interaction and programmed robotics. His paintings embody the artist’s movements\, application of paint\, and interference with a robotic vacuum cleaner which through random object avoidance and rotating brushes serves as the mark making tool. \nSince her teens\, Columbus video artist Nicolette Swift has been capturing life in her videos. In 2005 she graduated from The Ohio State University with a double major in Art History and Film and Media Studies. While in her undergrad she discovered a love for working with archival materials. She obtained a Masters of Library and Information Science with a focus in multi-media access from Kent State University in 2007. Since then she has worked with many individuals as well as The Ohio State University\, Columbus International Film + Video Festival\, Independents’ Day Festival\, PPG\, and Hammond Harkins Galleries to create multi-media content. With the help of her husband and the support of OSU’s Film Studies Program she co-founded The Columbus Moving Image Art Review\, which has been holding quarterly hour-long screenings since 2009. Currently\, her personal projects include avant-garde video essays that incorporate found\, archival\, and cultural materials.
