[Microsound-announce] A Month of Sundays June 25, 2006

[Glenn Bach]

On Sunday, June 25, 2006, 8 a.m. Pacific Standard Time (15:00 GMT), John 
Kannenberg (Chicago) and Glenn Bach (Long Beach, CA) will participate in 
an online performance of their long-running, long-distance collaborative 
piece, "Two Cities."  Mixing sounds and still/moving images, Kannenberg 
and Bach remix and reexamine aural and visual data collected on their 
respective daily walks through their surrounding neighborhoods.  Viewers 
can log in as guests and watch and listen to the performance, which is 
also being broadcast to three "brick-and-mortar" locations: E:vent 
(Bethnal Green, London), Watershed (Bristol, UK), and The Point CDC 
Theater (Bronx, NYC).  http://www.furtherstudio.org/live

Chicago-based sonic and visual artist John Kannenberg works with a 
variety of themes including primal natural forces, spirituality and 
mindful contemplation, melancholy and nostalgia, abstracted narrative 
tales, and the confluence of sonic and visual art. His major appearances 
include the Spark Festival 2006 (Minneapolis), so.cal.sonic 2005 (Long 
Beach), ISEA 2004 (Tallinn), and the Placard Festival 2003 (New York). 
John is the creator and curator of Stasisfield.com, an experimental 
music label and digital art space presenting works by a diverse 
collection of artists from around the globe.

Based in Long Beach, California, Glenn Bach is an active 
multidisciplinary artist influenced by the act of mindful walking and 
environmental sound. Glenn has performed at such events/venues as Field 
Effects (San Francisco), the Big Sur Experimental Music Festival, and 
the Schick Art Gallery (Saratoga Springs, NY).  He curated a house 
concert series, Quiet (2003), the week-long so.cal.sonic festival 
(2005), and is the founder of the research group Pedestrian Culture. His 
current project is a poem sequence, Atlas Peripatetic, inspired by an 
extensive mapping of sounds on his morning walk.

Their Two Cities project began in 2003 using sounds, photos, objects and 
data collected on Glenn and John's daily walking commutes to compare and 
contrast the environments of their respective hometowns.

Long-Distance Media Relationships
For three years, Chicago, Illinois-based artist John Kannenberg and Long 
Beach, California-based artist Glenn Bach have been collaborating 
cross-country. The two gather data, photos, sound, and other materials 
on their daily walks and upload them to the internet, to compare their 
respective residences. Next Sunday they'll take their collaboration 
across the pond, participating in a performative round of live 
file-mixing hosted at London's E:vent and organized by Furthernoise and 
curator Roger Mills. The curious can visit the space to witness the 
actions unfolding and see large-scale projections, but those stateside 
or elsewhere can also go online to watch the remixers work. At the end 
of the initial session, as Alex Young constructs post-performance 
soundscapes, audience members can also participate by uploading their 
own files and mashing-up their own MP3s or maps. The resulting images 
might resemble something like a 'global village.' - Marisa Olson
