SOUNDCORRIDORS is a series of sound events exploring non-traditional interactions between sound and space. Set in architecturally and acoustically unique spaces, the series invites sound artists and composers to generate new work to activate the peculiarities of each performance environment. At the heart of SOUNDCORRIDORS is a multi-channel sound system, meticulously placed to turn the entirety of the 25,000 sq ft former glass factory into a singular instrument. A day long event, the audience is invited to wander freely, choosing their own sonic and spatial narrative.

-
Bradley Eros is an artist working in myriad media: experimental film & video, collage, photography, performance, sound, text, contracted and expanded cinema & installation. Also a maverick curator, composer, designer & investigator. Concepts include: ephemeral cinema, mediamystics, subterranean science, erotic psyche, cinema povera, poetic accidents and musique plastique. Eros has exhibited at Whitney Biennial & The American Century, MoMA, Performa09, The New York, London & Rotterdam Film Festivals, The Kitchen, Microscope Gallery; Worked for many years with the New York Filmmakers’ Cooperative, Anthology Film Archives & co-directed the Roberta Beck Mercurial Cinema.
Rachael Guma is a filmmaker and sound artist currently living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Through her experiments with Super 8 film and analog sound, Rachael strives to create an engaging live viewing experience that embraces the idiosyncratic qualities of technology, while maintaining a hand-crafted approach to her output. Since graduating from the San Francisco Art Institute, her films have screened at the San Francisco Cinematheque, RX Gallery, Mono No Aware, Northern Flickers, Microscope Gallery, Union Docs and AXWFF 2011 where she was asked to take part in a lively panel discussion on women filmmakers. As a member of Optipus Film Collective, she has performed live foley sound at the Kitchen, Participant Gallery, Dense Mesh IV, and the 2011 Index Festival.
Kenneth Zoran Curwood (b. 1971 NYC) is a Brooklyn based artist working in film, animation and sculpture. He received a BA (concentration in Sculpture) from School of Visual Arts in 1995. His 16mm films combine traditional animation practices (cel, rotoscope, stop-motion) with many bygone special effects techniques (slit-scan, optical printing, tinting, toning). He has exhibited his work at Anthology Film Archives, Canada, Union Docs, Monkeytown, Secret Project Robot, Vaudeville Park, CREAM Gallery, and Heliopolis. He has taught workshops at Columbia University and Camera Club New York.
DOUBLE TROUBLE is the expanded cinema projector performance duo of filmmakers Andrew Lampert and Fern Silva. Each performance unveils a new double projection piece focused on something they came up with at the very last minute. If you are the police or the district attorney, Andrew Lampert and Fern Silva kindly request that you not attend this show. Their piece features footage that should have never been filmed and which might lead to significant legal trouble. That said, it should be pretty fun.

The Filmballad of MAMADADA
Dates:

The Filmballad of MAMADADA is a collectively-authored experimental biodrama about the early 20th Century artist Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. A sculptor, poet, painter, public provocateur, and proto-performance artist, Freytag-Loringhoven made critical interventions in the development of artistic modernism. Yet, like many other women who carried out aesthetic and social movements of that time, her contributions have been largely excluded from history. The Filmballad of MAMADADA is a response this absence.
Lily Benson and Cassandra Guan initiated this project in 2012, seeking to revisit the amorphous legacy of feminism from a variety of contemporary viewpoints. They recruited a group of over fifty filmmakers and artists worldwide to adapt fragments from Freytag-Loringhoven’s biography, asking each participant to interpret and represent on their own terms. Forty-nine individual passages were eventually completed and assembled together into a feature-length film. Like a game of exquisite corpse unfolding in time, the production process gave shape to a conflicted picture of desires and fears surrounding identity politics today. The many voices contend with one another, but ultimately proclaim a shared desire to participate in a renewed, collective narrative.
Contributing artists to this project include Leslie Allison, Animals, Raoul Anchondo, Mauricio Arango, Doug Ashford, Harold Batista, Gregory Benson, Lily Benson, Caitlin Berrigan, Clara Carter, Lea Cetera, Joanne K. Cheung, Abigail Childs, Abigail Colins, Katy Cool, Cecilia Corrigan, Alex Decarli, EASTER, Chitra Ganesh, Alex Golden, Cassandra Guan, Jorun Jonasson, Prudence Katze, Simone Krug, Joyce Lainé, William Lehman, Alexandra Lerman, Ming Lin, Thomas Love, Rob Lowe, Kirby Mages, Markues, Mores McWreath, Erin Jane Nelson, Anne Marte Overaa, Michala Paludan, Leah Pires, Sunita Prasad, Joanna Quigley, Will Rahilly, Amy Reid, Isaac Richards, Doron Sadja, Saki Sato, Frances Scholz, Dash Shaw, Josephine Shokrian, Sydney Shen, Beau Sievers, Shelly Silver, Ursula Sommer, Jim Strong, Aaron Vinton, and James N. Kienitz Wilkins.
An ongoing production.

Location:

United States of America
United States of America
Doron Sadja’s body of work spans everything from immersive multichannel sound pieces to pelvis thrusting performances, feces filled speaker installations, and stroboscopic smoke, mirror, laser, and projection shows. Equal parts disgust and empathy, organic and synthetic, D. Sadja’s work excites the psyche with extremes to create hyper-emotive sonic architecture. Tonight, Sadja presents the world premiere of SENSATIONS, a multichannel work developed specifically to engage the unique architectural space and lighting system of Roulette's Art Deco concert hall: combining lush romantic synthesizers, dense noise, binaural frequencies, and high-intensity lights in an onslaught of highly-controlled chaos.
WARNING: SENSATIONS contains stroboscopic lights.
Doron Sadja gives life to music which is difficult, powerful, intense and delicate – all at the same time. Touching Extremes
D. Sadja has published music on 12k, ATAK, and Shinkoyo records, and has performed/shown video and installation work at PS1 MoMA, Fragmental Museum, Miami MOCA, D’amelio Terras Gallery, Cleveland Museum of Art, Issue Project Room, and Roulette amongst others. Sadja co-founded Shinkoyo Records and the West Nile experimental performance space in Brooklyn (RIP), and has curated various new music/sound festivals around NYC.

TIM HECKER + DANIEL LOPATIN (Oneohtrix Point Never) // Co La
Dates:
Sun May 12, 2013 19:30 - Sun May 12, 2013
Location:

Two of the most distinctive voices in electronic music, Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never) and Tim Hecker have spent years warping the grids between pop, ambient and composition. Hecker’s music is built on static and shifting drones, intensely physical and tactile, while Lopatin’s approach is comparatively playful and steeped in appropriation. The duo’s collaborative debut, “Instrumental Tourist”, released on Software Recordings Co, finds two artists transcending their respective visions by agreeing to a new language, one which verbalizes their mutual infatuations and apprehensions with the systems they’ve both built and are buried by. Tonight is the duo’s first US performance. Also performing tonight is Co La, the primary project of musician and producer Matt Papich, whose elusive and abstract sample-based electronic music draws from the saccharine core of reggae, exotica, and 60s girl groups.
