August :: Performance :: Sound*Object :: IV_Gallery :: Cortright_electric :: 08.01.26 7:30pm
more specifically, a weird music show that directly relates to the
sound*object show in the gallery. Here’s what’s up: at 7 PM on
Saturday, August 1, Eyevee Arts and Cortright Electric present: From Baltimore, Lyn Goeringer is a composer, sound artist,
improvisor, and performer who makes her own instruments and
multi-media pieces that focus on the unusual and everyday within
sound, video, and electronics. Her work relies on intense focus and
attention to bring the listener to a point of intentional hearing— a
world where unusual objects bring haunting soundscapes to life, and
everyday objects become sonic in ways we do not usually get the
opportunity to hear. Informed by reductionism and essentialism in
improvisation and compositional practice, her works investigate
individual sounds and images, giving them the time and space they need
for their inner complexity to rise to the surface. Her current
research/practitioner focus is on the mythopoetic as it relates to the
unconscious and the unseen.
…I believe for this performance, an amplified goat skull may be
involved in this performance, but don’t take my word for it.
Comfort Link is the solo tape music project of Tim Wisniewski,
proprietor and co-founder of the Spleencoffin label in Baltimore.
Utilizing a battery of temperamental reel to reel tape machines and a
distinctly magnetic palette of crumbling hiss, feedback, and cozy
saturation, Comfort Link pulls the fragmentary implements and audio
detritus of mid-century living room hi-fi culture through the dim
tunnel of post-industrial audio slime.
Liz Meredith is a violist, improviser and composer from Baltimore,
MD. Her music explores intersections between acoustic chamber music,
instrumental improvisation, electro-acoustic composition, and ambient
music. Liz’s recordings include 3 solo albums, The Disposition of
Vibrant Forms, a 5 LP set in collaboration with John Somers, and
various solo and collaborative works on cassette. Her most recent solo
albums Repro – Ext (Hard Return) & Repro (s P L e e N C o F F i N)
have received critical acclaim from publications such as Tiny Mix
Tapes, Vital Weekly, ATTN Magazine, and the Sound Projector. In
addition to performing her own music, Liz has premiered new works by
emerging composers, and has also contributed her sound to recordings
by a wide range of artists.
Holding down the local front:
Caleb Crittenden is an artist, experimental musician, and independent
researcher of sound from Syracuse, New York. Through improvisation,
DIY electronics, modular synthesis, software development, and
electroacoustic composition, he creates work that explores attentive
listening, emergence, and the creative possibilities of unpredictable
sound.
And finally
Otherwise known as Vaux Flores in certain circles, Travis Johns’ last
three performances involved 1.) decimating an electric guitar with an
amplified excavator 2.) sawing a cello in half in a chapel and 3.)
giving himself severe frost burns with dry ice while using it to
resonate an amplified meat cleaver in Bangkok. Given this track
record, we’re pretty sure he’ll probably just break out the old guitar
for some campfire singalongs or something. Keeping on theme, he also
used to live in Baltimore.
