The Glass Percussion Project
Elaine Miles (glass installation artist) and Eugene Ughetti (solo percussion)
Amongst an innovative labyrinth of glass instruments a live percussion performance will unfold around themes of air, wind, thunder, water, and divine melody. The Glass Percussion Project is a collaborative initiative between Glass Artist Elaine Miles and percussionist and composer Eugene Ughetti. Elaine Miles has hand blown a very large collection of glass that is resonant and both harmonically complex and pure. The event will feature glass percussion instruments: over 200 gongs, 250 bowls, 40 udu drums, various wind-chimes, bars and a collection of suspended sheets and shards. For more visit http://www.speakpercussion.com.
This musical/sculptural installation/collaboration from Australia is co-presented by Roulette and Art Radio WPS1.org, the Web radio station of P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center (a Museum of Modern Art affiliate).

Noa Guy
Drops of Consciousness - part one
Using her still photography and pre-recorded string quartet as points of departure, composer/performer Noa Guy journeys to the edges of audio-visual information processing. This performance examines emotional reactions to sound and silence, light and darkness, being and non-being. Guy’s award-winning works include pieces for solo voice to symphonic orchestra as well as multimedia work and music for film and the theatre.
With Alon Leventon (sound artist), Kim Spiegler and Lio Spiegler (film artists).

Dafna Naphtali
fusebox//
For 10 years, Dafna Naphtali has been trying to find ways to peacefully and not-so-peacefully incorporate “audio machinations” (her particular vision for the processing and manipulation of musical sounds) into both improvised and composed music. With an arsenal of equipment, computer programs she has been writing and her 4-octave vocals, she has performed with many fine musicians in a full spectrum of improvised contexts. She also composes instrumental music and has written for and performed extensively with her “digital chamber punk” trio, What is it Like to be a Bat?, with Kitty Brazelton.
fusebox// is a reiteration of Dafna’s long standing ideas about sound processing with new contextualizations and influences. The work incorporates improvisations, original composition and novel arrangements/configurations of her favorite pieces by Mingus and others. With saxophonist Ras Moshe, Shayna Dulberger (bass) and Jeff Arnal (drums/percussion.)
Dafna Naphtali is a sound-artist and improviser-composer from an eclectic background of music-making. As singer/guitarist/electronic-musician she performs and composes using custom Max/MSP/Jitter programs for sound processing of voice and other instruments that she has been writing since 1992. Besides her composing and improvising projects, she co-leads the digital chamber punk ensemble, What is it Like to be a Bat?, with Kitty Brazelton (http://www.whatbat.org) and has collaborated/performed with Lukas Ligeti, David First, Joshua Fried, Ras Moshe, Alexander Waterman, Kathleen Supove and Hans Tammen, among others. She's received commissions and awards from NYFA, NYSCA, Meet the Composer, Experimental TV Center and American Composers Forum, and a residency at STEIM. She has performed and traveled widely and under usual circumstances for her music. In more serious moments she teaches and gives workshops at universities in the US and in Europe. She teaches, programs and works as a consultant about Max/MSP and has done sound design and/or programming work for the projects of Jin Hi Kim, Shelley Hirsch, Pamela Z, Phoebe Legere, Fred Frith, Jim Staley, Henry Threadgill, Steve Coleman, Chico Freeman and others.
Dafna can be heard with Mechanique(s) on a forthcoming release on In-situ ('06,) was featured vocalist on Jose Halac’s CD ‘Dance of 1000 Heads’ (Tellus,) as well as on her acclaimed release with What is it Like to be a Bat? on Tzadik/Oracles (4 Stars: All Music Guide.)

Mike Skinner
with Michael Portnoy, Gretta Cohn & Chris Bracco
Mike Skinner’s series of 8 Track Attacks uses multiple sound sources, including portable 8 track players from the 60s and 70s (for which he records custom cassettes as well as using found tapes,) quadrophonic 8 track systems, tape loops, short wave radio, bowed percussion, space echo, electric and effected cello and effected vocal loops to create dense landscapes of sound.
Joining Mike will be vocalist/performer Michael Portnoy, Chris Bracco (bass) and cellist and composer Gretta Cohn, whose untraditional but beautiful approach to the instrument became a trademark of her former band, Cursive, and of performances and recordings with Bright Eyes, Charles Atlas and Bodies Rise.
Mike Skinner is a composer, producer and writer working with a wide cross section of New York's art stars, indie rockers, noise bands, art filmmakers, fashion designers, video artists, transsexuals and choreographers. Mike has worked within the dance and performance art community for several years. He began by composing extended pieces for Isabel Gotzkowsky's seasons at the Joyce SoHo and the Pace Theatre, both produced by long time collaborator Chris Bracco. In 2003 he performed at the NY Improv Festival with Jeremy Wade, a fruitful collaboration that continued February 2006 at Jeremy's widely acclaimed Dance Theatre Workshop showing. He regularly tours the USA and Europe drumming for Kevin Devine and Black Moustache, and has just finished recording Kevin’s next album in Los Angeles for their first album on Capitol records.
WPS1.org featured Mike during the Venice Biennale this past year and currently includes his work in the first of PS1's podcasts. His involvement with PS1 continued with a performance at the museum on Easter 2006. Four of his scores are hosted on WPS1.org
He is writing a second album with Spencer Product for Black Moustache, and has recently collaborated with Justin Lowe, Michael Portnoy and English Kills. Mike also began recording his own album in April and has worked with Gunny Scarfo, CEO of Allentium, to create custom software for a web based music installation, to be launched publicly in the fall.
Mike has created sound for installations with Ugo Rondinone, Justin Lowe and James Drake as well as producing his own at Monkeytown, PS1, Southfirst Gallery, Alona Kagan, and Diapason Gallery.
This performance was commissioned by Roulette with support from the Jerome Foundation.
ROULETTE IS THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE OUR MOVE INTO OUR NEW HOME: 20 GREENE STREET in SOHO.

Friday, December 8th
Christopher McIntyre
Experimental composer and trombonist Christopher McIntyre has been developing a number of large ensemble projects in the past few years, both as a leader and collaborator. Several of them will fill Roulette's stage this evening, including TILT Brass Band, Lotet and Ne(x)tworks. A thread that carries through each group is both technical and spiritual: mapping the space between composition and improvisation.
Tonight's program will include the much-anticipated premiere of "A31," a hybrid multimedia score inspired by the "police state" surrounding the 2004 Republican National Convention. McIntyre will also present new works commissioned by Roulette and the Jerome Foundation. Performed by an impressive array of new music’s heaviest-hitters, including Joan La Barbara, Cornelius Dufallo, Miguel Frasconi, Peter Evans and Nate Wooley.
