An evening of modular collaborations

Feb 9 2012
7:30pm
The Tank, NYC
as part of the Eavesdropping series
curated by Guy Barash

Participants:
Gill Arno, Patrick Franke, Richard Garet, Wolfgang Gil, Andrew Lafkas, David Moscovich, Daniel Neumann, Ben Owen, Ole Schmidt, and Chris Weinheimer.

The group will explore collaborative strategies of composing and performing sound and visuals based on the idea of modular organization. Pieces are developed in non-hierarchical and decentralized forms where collaborators interact as equals. The modular structure is reflected less on the technical level but primarily on the level of collaborative formulation of ideas and its execution.

All shows to take place at 7:30 pm at the Playroom Theater
 151 West 46th Street, 8th floor

Tickets are $10 at the door / $8 online

Chavez Neumann: Improvised Resonance Compositions # 2-6

As part of the Clocktower’s Time Sync Audio Art Residency Program in the summer of 2011, artist Maria Chavez and her collaborator Daniel Neumann spent days and nights wandering the halls and chambers of the Clocktower Building with speakers, microphones, cables, turntables, and assorted audio gear. What they captured is represented here in a set of five acoustic portraits colored by Chavez’s unique textures generated from unusual uses of the traditional record turntable and amplified through Neumann’s imaginative placement of speakers.

Three sounds at 317 E 5th St

Installation by Katia Ritz, Florian Hauswirth, Daniel Neumann

Red House Gallery, 317 East, 5th Street, New York

Opening Reception:
January 21, 2011, 7pm to 9pm,
live performance by Daniel Neumann “Three variations on three sounds at 317 E 5th St”

January 22 to 27th 2011
The architectonic and acoustic installation “Three sounds at 317 E 5th St” focuses on the perception and cognition of the specific space and its existing sounds. Three expansive cones visually amplify the three most present sounds at the Red House Gallery in the East Village, while also creating an acoustical focus. The installation adapts to the existing structure of the room, which creates a unique intervention in the environment. Daniel Neumann is presenting recordings of the three sounds, which he will use exclusively for his live performance “Three variations on three sounds at 317 E 5th St” during the opening.

III. Discovery 2010

This page is taken out of the book “2010: Odysee Two” which I’m working on at the moment. After taking out page 87/88 the page was replaced with the wings of a brimstone butterfly I found dead on Europe’s longest train platform. Then chapter III. Discovery was glued together page by page.

Page 87/88 is part of the show The Black Door Files at blackdooristanbul, Istanbul, Turkey (Sep 24 – Oct 31 2010).

Demasking the Bridges

Soundwalk for Elastic City
Brooklyn Bridge Park (corner Main St / Plymouth St)

various dates during the summer season 2010

The soundwalk “Demasking The Bridges” explores the small triangle between the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge in Dumbo. The soundscape of the area is mainly dominated by the traffic of the two bridges. By slowly oscillating between the bridges, crossing through diverse surroundings the group learns about and experiences the “Masking Effect”. Focusing on the weaker maskees and shifting the threshold of the masker with our movement slowly uncovers more and more sound events and acoustic arenas.

Franke Neumann Schmidt Weinheimer – Herbstzug 2009

Franke Neumann Schmidt Weinheimer
Herbstzug
2009

The ensemble uses clarinette, flute, computer and visual material to examine the autum birds migration. An electroacoustic composition with one open parameter by Daniel Neumann made from flute and clarinette samples forms the base from which Patrick Franke, Ole Schmidt and Chris Weinheimer, by playing their instruments live, create dynamics, densities, currents, knots and direction.

Das Ensemble untersucht mittels Flöte, Klarinette, Computer sowie visuellen Materialien den Vogelzug im Herbst. Eine elektroakustische Komposition mit offenen Parametern aus Material von Flöte und Klarinette bildet die Grundlage aus der Dynamiken, Dichten, Ströme, Knoten und Richtungen herausgearbeitet werden.

Published as a podcast on crónicaelectronica:

The piece INNEN & AUREN (Inside & Auras) is a mixed and edited version of the concert INNEN & AUßEN (In/-side & Out/-side) by Franke Neumann Schmidt Weinheimer, that took place as AlulaTonSerien.Konzert #35 at the New Building of the Gallery for Contemporary Art in Leipzig, Dec. 15, 2007. I edited it and translated the spatial experience of the live concert to this stereo version. The chronological order of the concert was kept, but condensed. No sounds or effects were added.

If you are interested in a copy of the handmade cd, please contact me, I trade those for feedback.

Music for an Installation III

Music for an Installation III is an edit of the recordings I made in the 11 spaces of the former swimming stadium in Leipzig. See previous post. The demand was to make the room sound, not to make sound for the room.

I produced a composition of static sound for Axel Toepfer’s video installation in an abandoned swimming stadium in Leipzig. Each of the eleven different spaces within the building had its own static sound. Changes in the sound could be perceived by the listeners only when they moved through the space.

INNEN & AUßEN (IN/-SIDE & OUT/-SIDE)

The concert and installation piece was performed as the finale concert in the series AlulaTonSerien at the Gallery for Contemporary Art Leipzig.
The four performers created a set-up, which took place in three rooms inside the gallery and outside the gallery. Each of the four performers had his own position and function within the set-up and with each position a certain statement about being inside and outside of different acoustic arenas is made.
The set-up included: a microphone outside of the gallery (Franke, outside), speakers behind a glass wall, microphone in room 1, feed from Franke and computer (Neumann, room 1), speakers outside the gallery and in room 1, two headphones in room 3, microphone, sine wave generator, feed from Franke and computer (Schmidt, room 3), four speakers in room 1, one speaker outside the gallery, violin, bass flute with internal microphones and electronics (Weinheimer, room 1).

Jackie Bruce – Verzehnfachung

Tenfold Increase

Verzehnfachung was a part of Nachtschichten (Night Shifts), a radio project broadcasted on Radio LoRa Zurich. A catalog has been published by edition fink.

Radioprojekt im Rahmen der Nachtschichten auf Radio LoRa Zürich vom 19. Juni – 2. Juli 2006
Katalog zur Sendereihe erschienen bei edition fink.

Under the name Jackie Bruce I performed my montage pieces live from June 19-July 2 for a total of 60 night shift hours. The goal was to increase my output tenfold. Starting with pre-edited single pieces totally 6 hours, I re-mixed, -edited, -combined, -filtered, -folded and re-arranged 60 hours of concrète noise music. In doing so my emotional and conditional highs and lows became part of the montages.

Jackie Bruce – Jahresabrechnung 05

Jubiläums-Mix zum einjährigen Bestehen der Sendung Jackie Bruce am Ende der Geschichte. Die 12 Sendungen, die jeweils 60 Minuten lang sind, benutzte ich als Ausgangsmaterial für die Jahresabrechnungsremontage und legte die einzelnen Sendungen auf 12 Tonspuren übereinander. Das Bearbeiten bestand dann darin aus der Klangflut Material herauszulöschen – zu demontieren. Was übrig blieb ist zu hören, wobei jeder Ton zeitlich exakt an der gleichen Stelle liegt, wie in der Original-Sendung.

Jackie Bruce – Statement Book

Das Buch der 60 Aussagen

Als Grundlage dient ein englisches Notiz- bzw. Nachrichtenbuch, das ich im März 2004 für 2,95 Pfund in einem Londoner Office Shop erstand. Die Rohseiten sind Tabellen, überschrieben und durchnummeriert mit STATEMENT 1 bis STATEMENT 60. Mit dem Kauf dieses Buches nahm ich mir vor 60 Statements in Form von Collagen abzugeben, wobei ich zwei Hauptregeln aufstellte:

1. Nicht bevor ein Statement datiert ist, wird mit dem nächsten begonnen.
2. Die Datierung einer Seite bedeutet, an dieser Seite nichts mehr zu verändern.
