----> Event Description <----------------------------------------------

The world makes music, remember to listen.

Field Effects 6 offers a night of field recording-based sound art.

The sixth in a series of concerts showcasing artists using found
materials, Field Effects 6 focuses on field recordings and song
collected abroad: far afield.  You'll notice I said song: in a
rare departure, we'll be serenaded with the unmediated voice.

Field Effects 6 features work by artists:

  audiofile collective (seattle)

    Audiofile Collective is three people: Greyg Filastine, a
    founding member of Infernal Noise Brigade and the media group
    Post World Industries; Maga Bo, who currently lives in Rio,
    Brazil, making and producing music; and Steven Miller, a
    member of Gamelan Pacifica and a modern dance composer. All
    three worked with !TchKung! for years. They'll be presenting
    a collage of found sounds from the Indian subcontinent, both
    unprocessed and heavily edited.

  ~ Post-Concert Listening Party ~

    Your host Aaron Ximm and wife Bronwyn recently completed a
    collaborative 38-minute audio reverie of their trek around
    the Annapurna Circuit in central Nepal. After the show, we'll
    be premiering it for anyone who would like to stay to listen.

    http://www.quietamerican.org/related_annapurna.html

The Field Effects series showcases artists who are interested in
framing the hidden beauty of the everyday world: beauty on the
surface, awaiting our attention. Beauty that must be delicately
extracted. And beauty in potential, awaiting juxtaposition,
collage, repetition and mutilation.

Seating mostly on futons to encourage comfortable deep listening.
Hopefully we'll still have beanbags (courtesy of Blasthaus!).

Depending on weather, hot or cold drinks will be available.
Hopefully someone will make cookies again.
