. 8:00 . luminations . The premiere screening of "luminations" by
General Chaos Visuals and URM to celebrate the release of their
hour long DVD of projected light and ambient electronic music.
This unique film features the multi-layered projected translucent
light paintings of Stephen Lindsey (General Chaos Visuals) which
were created to accompany a musical soundtrack of soundscapes
and electronic music created by Jamie Todd (URM.) For over ten
years, Stephen and Jamie have collaborated and experimented
with these techniques of merging light projections with live music.
This film represents the realization of their lengthy efforts
to create something new and unique in the realm of
audio and visual synergy.
The techniques used for creating the imagery in this film primarily
include the use of hand-painted transparent images, which are
kinetically rotated and overlaid with multiple projectors. The images
are manipulated using optical analog techniques such as prisms,
crystals and fingers. The overall technique has been in development
in live gigs for over ten years now, and although based on some
elements of 60’s light shows, the General Chaos Visuals live
experience is a new beast entirely of its own.
The audio soundtrack, "Shadows of Light", was created by URM's
Jamie Todd (also of dreamSTATE, NOiNO and SADU) who takes
us on a sonic trip made up of six pieces which explore alien
mutant psycho jazz, dark/light ambience, spacey soundscapes
along with some sequencer driven Berlin School pulse. All of the
music was created in real time on a single laptop utilizing a virtual
wall of modular and semi-modular soft synthesizers run through
a matrix of soft efx.

. 9:00 . URM . To complement the free download release of his
"stratification" LP on the ping things net label, Jamie Todd
unleashes a sonic suite of sequences and soundscapes to perform
the LP LiVE in its entirety as a continuous audio journey. With lots
of new sound manipulating toys in the URM arsenal, "stratification" is
a tasty mix of sequencer driven Berlin School electronics combined
with haunting ambient soundscapes and seasoned with that wee
bit of weirdness that Jamie has always been so fond of applying
to the mix. As this is a special night, celebrating a couple of URM
releases, Scott M2 of dreamSTATE (who is itching to play live
with his new iPad) will join Jamie for the final 1/3 of the URM set.

. 10:30 . KALTE come out of hibernation to play the PiNG for their
1st show of 2011 celebrating the launch of their new album "Fissures"
to be released by Petcord on Mar. 15th. http://www.petcord.com
Deane and Rik of Kalte will be performing a set drawn from the
mysteries of the Hadopelagic Zone, cold music heard in inhospitable
spaces, ominous and dark tones inspired by massive pressures and
arctic depths. For more information visit www.kaltemusic.com
. GENERAL CHAOS VISUALS . The unique evolving light paintings
of General Chaos Visuals will provide us with mesmerizing eye
candy projected onto a live canvas of performers.

In March, 2011 New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) turns 10! To
celebrate we invite you to a bash like no other ... literally. For the
month of March, NAISA's Installation Space will be filled with found
objects especially selected because of the interesting sounds they
make when struck or played, offering you a chance to play with
sound and manipulate it live.
"Since its inception in March 2001, New Adventures in Sound Art
(NAISA) has provided a home for the sonic imagination in Toronto,
a place where anyone can explore art through sound. As NAISA
turns 10, we encourage you to join in the celebration both on-line
and in person to help create a Bash like no other in which you
invent and explore sound following the lead of your imagination."
- Darren Copeland, NAISA Artistic Director
Situated throughout the NAISA space will be everyday man-made
objects, sometimes with contact mics attached and sometimes not,
and NAISA will provide you with the tools to conceive and conduct
your own performance.
We'll even record it for prosperity and give you a copy! All to help
support NAISA and its educational and presentation opportunities
for sound and media artists. Celebrate and support NAISA with
a bash that lasts.

pay-to-play session or buy tickets to any of the 8pm performances
