Laetitia Sonami & Sue Costabile: "I. C. You"

Laetitia Sonami (live electronics) & Sue Costabile (live video) present "I. C. You", a live film shot & scored from two suitcases, a bowl of water & a piece of ice. Based on a script by NY poet Tom Sleigh, "I. C. You" follows the road-based travels of a truck driver delivering ice for the Universe Company. His job is to keep America cold. Sonami and Costabile open windows into his existence through photographs, drawings, videos, shadow theater and miniature lighting rigs. Also on the program is Sonami's "Invention of Perspective (the Appearance of Silence)", performed with her 'lady's glove' and Costabile on live video.

Sonami is an electronic composer, performer and sound installation artist. Her performance work combines text, music and "found sound" in compositions that have been called "performance novels". Her interactive installations focus on embedding every day objects with kinetic and sonic personalities. She performs with her lady's glove, a unique instrument embedded with sensors to track her body’s motion, turning hand movement into sound. She creates a truly original, intimate, spontaneous art form, transcending the technology with which it’s made. She performs worldwide and is based in Oakland, CA. (http://www.sonami.net/)

Sue Costabile aka SUE.C is a visual and performing artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her works challenge the norms of photography, video and technology by blending them all into an organic and improvisational live performance setting. Employing a variety of digital tools to create an experimental animation "instrument", Costabile synthesizes cinema from photographs, drawings, watercolors, hand-made papers, fabrics and miniature interactive lighting effects. Dark, moody, textural, and physical, her live films inherit equally from the kinetic languages of Stan Brakhage's abstract cinema and Nicolas Schoffer's lumodynamic sculptures.

Blithe Riley/James Rouvelle

*Blithe Riley*
Blithe Riley works with video, performance & installation, combining narrative elements with systemic based structures and exploring the operations of spectatorship in various contexts. Incisive and uncomfortable, her works reveal us to ourselves and turn the audience-performer relationship on its head. She has screened nationally & internationally at the Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, The Warhol Museum and The European Media Arts Festival.

*James Rouvelle*
James Rouvelle is an intermedia wizard, a guru of electronics & programming and a genre-defying creator. His current efforts can be described as shared, de-centralized, perhaps even aimless events, unfocussed by design. He makes devices and situations that investigate collective intelligence, enhance social relationships and foster empathy through the practice of listening and dialogue. Tonight, he presents “Collaborative, Synchronous Oscillation”, an interactive work for participating audience and his own sound-making, artifically intelligent sculptures.

Kevin Davis / Andrew Raffo Dewar

Kevin Davis
Kevin Davis (improviser, composer & cellist) makes work that bares his emotions, challenges his body and forces together structural rigor with the danger of the moment. He also likes quiet. Tonight he presents an evening of solo cello work interested in the synthesis of the compositional/improvisational space. Kevin applies internal logic or structural devices to improvised performances, using indeterminate elements in compositions and working with extended, often timbre-oriented cello techniques. Collaborators range from Arnold Dreyblatt to Mike Pride and influences include the extensive study of architecture and sculpture.

Andrew Raffo Dewar: Premiere of Six Lines of Transformation (2006)
Andrew Raffo Dewar is a composer, improviser, woodwind instrumentalist and ethnomusicologist. He has made music with Steve Lacy, Anthony Braxton, Alvin Lucier, Bill Dixon and Milo Fine and also has a longstanding involvement with Indonesian traditional and experimental music. Dewar's music has been performed by the Flux Quartet (NYC), Sekar Anu (Indonesia), the Koto Phase ensemble (USA/Japan) and the XYZ composer collective (NYC). He has received grants from Arts International and Meet The Composer.

Tonight’s premiere explores the idea of a palimpsest - a reusable, layered recording material. With: Matt Bauder (bass clarinet), Jennifer Caputo (percussion), Andrew Lafkas (contrabass), Jane Rigler (flute), Nate Wooley (trumpet) & Katherine Young (bassoon). www.freemovementarts.com
