Thursday night in Raleigh NC at Bickett Gallery http://www.bickettgallery.com/ is a night of AV oddness: Details below. * Matterlink (France) http://www.vampler.net/matterlink http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC903dNsYpc * Elmapi (France) http://www.myspace.com/elmapi * Projexorcism (Hickory NC) http://www.multiultramedia.com/projexorcism.htm I'll be playing looped and effected Chapman Stick with the group Projexorcism. I expect the show should start about 9pm, and there's probably a cover charge of $5 or so. Art on the walls, full bar (selection ok on beer, good on wine, solid on liquor), free wireless Internet, audiovideo weirdness. Arriving in the United States to perform at Washington, D.C.'s Sonic Circuits Festival Elmapi and Matterlink will trickle down the coast for the remainder of October and November on tour. Elmapi plays electronica and sings to a mix of found and synthetic sounds. She has integrated quite a bit of video elements into her set, that she shot and edited. Her 2nd album she will be touring on is being produced by Andy Moor of the legendary Holland band The EX... Matterlink is a sort of "performed cinema", sampling live from hundreds of audio video fragments, both shot and found. Usually he performs one developing peice, weaving phrases and song in and out of sound and image tornados. It's a very live and raw show and he claims to be pretty excited about where it's going, and where it might go for other vamplers (video samplers). Along with Lex Everheart, Matterlink co-created a website dedicated to the cause: http://www.vampler.net where there is also a full description of what Matterlink does, as well as some video. Projexorcism uses four 16mm film projectors with fresnel lenses all hung on a frame, mechanically mixing video samples by brute force. best, Steve B Subscape Annex http://www.subscapeannex.com/
