http://monkeytownhq.com/ophoniste.html
AMERICAN OPHONISTE IDOL is the most prestigious title in international Ophoniste artistry. On Tuesday November 21, at Monkey Town, the 2006 winner will be crowned. The audience will see local noisemakers, para-symphonic alarmists, and the most infernally addicted loopaholics battle it out musically. The Ophonistes are judged by a panel of effusive yet stern NYC sound-passionates. After the American Ophoniste Idol is crowned, the celebration begins in which the Ophones are free for all to play with.
PROGRAM
8.30 pm: Doors open
9-10.30 pm: American Ophoniste Idol
10.30 and onwards: Open Ophones
The FOUR OPHONES is an interactive sound installation that allows the users to record sounds that are replayed infinitely until replaced by other sounds. The installation provides a space for playful musical collaboration and language-independent conversations where the visitors themselves become composers, instrumentalists, and listeners at the same time. The Ophones foster everything from subtle interference etudes to collaborative chanting, semi-automated social commentary to dense polyrhytmic drone parties.
The Four Ophones have been exhibited at, among other places, Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, PixelACHE in Helsinki, and Mal au Pixel in Paris. The Four Ophones are on a New York tour November 16-22, 2006, coordinated by Brooklyn based curator Elna Svenle. http://www.unsworn.org/ophones/nyc2006/
UNSWORN consists of Erik Sandelin and Magnus Torstensson, who are, apart from Ophone designers and manufacturers, an art and design duo based in Malmo, Sweden. http://www.unsworn.org
Monkey Town is located at 58 N 3rd Street (between Wythe and Kent) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Subway: L train to Bedford Ave. Phone: (718) 384 1369.

KM is pleased to present POW, the fourth event of audio/visual explorations by young New York based sound and video artists at Official, LLC., a 3000 sq ft metal workshop located in East Williamsburg. From 8 pm to 2 am, Ezekiel Honig, Joshue Ott, SUIT, and Unsworn will perform new work. As always there will be no silence between sets as DJs Camea, Montrachet, and James Willeford will make you feel joy with their mix of minimal techno and house.
KM . POW will present work that continues to focus on a physical structure employing audio installation. Our special guests coming from Sweden, Unsworn, will premiere Four Ophones, an interactive sound installation. Ezekiel Honig's edits cross reference dance and minus 20 decibel noise, reconstructing audio to a new listenable candor; creating images for Honig - Joshue Ott's, Superdraw, prompts a new look of psychedelic minimalism. SUIT combines samples with live manipulation to form a tropistic audio collage.
