| <nettime-ann> Our 96 hour improv event this Friday! |
.Hi - have probably announced this before, but that was a while ago - this is the final - please stop in anytime if you're in NYC and can make it!
- Alan Music Factory A 96 hour continuous performance December 8-11 Eyebeam Art+Technology Center 540 West 21st Street New York, NY 10011Music Factory will be one of the largest collaborations between creative improvisers ever. Starting at midnight on the night of December 7th, an ensemble composed of more than 70 musicians will come together to fashion an unbroken collective statement over 96 hours. The company, assembled by five curators, will include performances by Andrew D.Angelo, Ben Gerstein, Miguel Frasconi, Denman Maroney, Andrea Parkins, Josh Roseman, and numerous others . a galaxy of self-realized musical voices. For the complete lineup and more, please visit www.newlanguages.org.
In a world transformed by the internet and the concomitant collapse of the record industry, live music is largely confined to the same sandbox as ever: 45 minute sets at small venues and festivals. Music Factory interrogates the mode of musical production, looking for conditions that might serve the promise of improvised music in the 21st century. First, it is an experiment in continuous musical production at a single site: can creative music sustain the sort of working environment familiar to other industrial sectors? It performs this experiment for the emerging global audience of the internet: the performance will be broadcast live at newlanguages.org, where people will be able to discover and read more about new musicians as they listen. Finally, it will become a prototype of what an album can be in an era in which recordings no longer qualify as commodities. The performance will be made available in a browseable online interface, where people will be able to explore passages for years to come, like an LP writ large.
