tranzducer.hiatus

hi all … many thanks to those who’ve played and supported our experiments out at Lemurplex this past year.

we’re taking a break from these shows so jamie can go live in europe for a while. stat.

tranzducer has been an excellent opportunity for us to showcase experimental music acts that have fewer and fewer places to play here in this great new york city. for similar fixes, check out Issue Project Room, Galapagos, Monkey Town and the Tank. Word has it Exit Art’s got a performance series upcoming, as well.

lemurplex the gallery, teaching center and general entity is, of course, alive and well, so check out other activities here: lemurbots.org

Richard Lainhart

 

This month, we have an excellent lineup featuring Richard Lainhart (performing with incredible rig of vintage analog electronic gear), Moldover, and Rui Pereira. Be aware - tranzducer will be taking a little hiatus following this next show… all the more reason to make it down for tranzducer.011!

Richard Lainhart

Richard Lainhart

Richard Lainhart is an award-winning composer, author, and filmmaker-a digital artisan who works with sonic and visual data. Since childhood, he’s been interested in natural processes such as waves, flames and clouds, in harmonics and harmony, and in creative interactions with machines, using them as compositional methods to present sounds that are as beautiful as he can make them. “Lainhart crafts sounds in a tonal, musical fashion- sustained tones, drones, melodic fragments-and electronically manipulates them into beautiful tapestries of sound” (Waterfront Week). [His] “music reflects the spirit of possibility that once defined electronicmusic, bringing with it a sense of past, present and future that transcends time, technology and cultural assumptions. The spell-binding music seemed to evoke feelings that can’t quite be named, and suggest music I might rather imagine for myself in silence than trust most composers to compose” (The Village Voice). “He’s evolveda singular vision as a composer, performer and engineer of darkly seductive minimalism” (Peter Marsh, BBC).

Rui Pereira

Rui Pereira

Rui Pereira (rux) is an interaction-media-artist - researcher-creative-student-boy from Portugal currently living and studying in NYC. His works range from media errors to media control and interfaces, synaesthesia and live visuals creation, interaction design and other electronic and digital absurdities. He has performed live-visuals since 2000 for jungle-techno-noise-kitsch-pop-punk parties under various id’s and started developping his own home-made interfaces (Loop-R) in 2004. Now he has just finished his new interface (Looop-r) and he’s exploring it mixing-cutting-sequencing-scratching audio-video loops in realtime city-mashup performances. Looop-r has been presented at FILE’06 (Sao Paulo) and was demo’ed at NIME’07(New York). Rux keeps studying and playing with technology and people at his master’s program at ITP- NYU, lately he has been interested in non-sense interaction objects, parasites made of code and human powered sequencing machinery.

 

Moldover

Moldover is an artist specializing in Controllerism. Like Turntablism, Controllerism is all about using technology as a musical instrument. He uses customized software and computer controllers to manipulate music live. Moldover has flown all over the world to perform live and teach the techniques and ideas of Controllerism. Moldover’s skills leave an instant and lasting impression on all who see him play. He frequently performs at high-profile “hip / future-culture” events sponsored by RedBull, Scion, The Grammy Foundation, Microsoft, as well as music technology events including Remix Hotel, Mutek, NAMM, and The South American Music Conference (SAMC). Moldover co-created the Warper party; the largest live electronic music showcase in New York City. Warper has become a platform for the development of electronic performance where Moldover is a supporter, leader and inspiration to the NYC electronic music community and beyond.
