Here's the show I was mentioning at the looping festival last weekend. MEET YOUR HOME STEREO Saturday, Oct 18th, 9pm 21 Grand Gallery 449B 23rd St, Oakland, CA $6-10 The components of the humble home stereo receive a deft dose of sonic manipulation by a crew of experimental musicians: Lx Rudis does the CD player, RAJAR radicalizes the radio, Mick Gendreau tweaks the turntable, and Matt Davignon challenges cassettes. RAJAR, named after the British radio ratings system, is an ensemble featuring Gendreau, Bob Boster (Mr. Meridies), David Kwan, Xopher Davidson and Patty Liu, that plays broadcast transmissions like instruments, accentuating the musical potential of fading signals and static interruptions. Lx Rudis is an interdisciplinary media artist, active in both commercial and underground sectors since the early 1980s. Since 1988, Mr. Rudis' work has been concentrated in the field of video game sound design. Rudis brings a dynamic playful quality to his electronic sonicism. Mick Gendreau (Crawling with Tarts) creates dense sonic landscapes out of high sensitivity accelerometers that map detailed frequencies from turntable motors, often utilizing hilarious and disturbing corporate marketing records. Matt Davignon, the curator of this event, creates most of his music through improvisation, often imitating everyday sound phenomena or focusing on often-overlooked aural characteristics. For this show he will be using cassettes of urban sounds from around the bay area. This show partly funded by a grant from the Zellerbach Family Foundation. _________________________________________________________________ Concerned that messages may bounce because your Hotmail account has exceeded its 2MB storage limit?
