Chrome Candles Viewing Hour is a Salon for artists working in experimental audiovisual performance.
Our emphasis is on real-time experimental video and sound performance, live cinema, and interactive instrument design. We are interested in works centered around performers utilizing and building interfaces to generate and manipulate media.
Intended to function as a community meeting, rather then a traditional recital or concert, the Salon provides a relaxed setting to perform works in progress, discuss work, and receive valuable feedback. The salon is curated with the intent of being as inclusive as possible and participation is open all practitioners working in realtime media.
The format will include short performances, artist talks about process and performance techniques and Q&A depending on time availability.
Featuring:
Michael Sperone Frank Spigner Sam Baumel & Jason Sherman 99 Hooker Eric Barry Drasin
**Mike Sperone www.mikesperone.com Gongs, cymbals, pitch detectors, synthesizers, max/MSP... Mike Sperone will be performing a set including all of these things... and more.
**Sam Baumel + Jason Sherman The artist applies pressure to the arrow buttons on his keyboard live-splicing archive casting call footage. Audition juxtapositions weave contrived recollections of a message in a bottle found on the shores of Scotland. The film for which the auditions were held: https://vimeo.com/4313377#at=0
** 99 Hooker "Mad About You, Mad Plaid and Bible Launcher" : Using two synced tapes (yes tapes), Korg Kaoss pad (yes that's how they spelled it), an old v4, 99 will perform three pieces featuring the music of Belinda Carlise, Bible Launcher and kumungo player Jin Hi Kim and the visuals of rev.99, the machines at Experimental TV Center and the classic Hookers Caught on Tape.
Eric Barry Drasin http://ericbarrydrasin.com "The Secret Soup" : Custom digital interfaces control music for oscillators and looper with 1:1 visual counterpart. Referencing early electronic art aesthetics, the oscillators are played, looped, and then processed through a variety of synesthetic effects to create ambient noise textures that evolve throughout the set.
**Frank Spigner http://frankspigner.wordpress.com/ Performing a new piece for laptop, function generator, homemade instruments and effects, featuring Michael Sperone on electronics and percussion.
