Sarah Belle Reid, Thomas Echols, Turning Jewels Into Water

Join us at the Creative Standard Room in Big Medium on Saturday 9/28/2019 evening! That is Building 2 Room #105 at Canopy in East Austin.

Sarah Belle Reid is a Canadian performer-composer, specializing in trumpet and electronics, modular synthesis, and alternate forms of graphical notation for composition and improvisation. She is a co-developer of the Minimally Invasive Gesture Sensing Interface (MIGSI) for trumpet: an open-source, wireless interface that captures performance data and provides real-time extended sonic and visual control for improvisation. Reid has presented and performed with MIGSI at institutions and festivals around the world including Moogfest, Stanford Universitys Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), the International Conference of New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME 2015: Brisbane, Australia), New Media Art & Sound Summit (NMASS 2017: Austin, TX), University of Oregon, UT Austin, and UC Irvine’s Women in Music Technology Symposium (2016), among others.

Thomas Echols is a classical guitarist, composer, songwriter, and music technologist living in Austin, Texas. He performs regularly as a soloist and with his experimental pop project “Man, Woman, Friend, Computer”.

For this event, Thomas has composed a new work “Memorylessness” for Trumpet, Guitar, and Electronics.

Turning Jewels Into Water (TJIW): a live electronic duo led by Indian-born drummer/producer Ravish Momin along with Haitian electronic percussionist Val Jeanty. They seamlessly blend electronic drums, turntables, ritual chants, live loops and synth melodies along with rhythms inspired by global dance music. Their collaboration, rooted in improvisation, evokes the esoteric realms of the creative subconscious. Drawing from the voodoo religion, Val recreates the ancient rhythm and pulse of Haiti through digital beats, while Momin, whose own musical background is rooted Indian, North African and Middle-Eastern traditions, has developed an original blend of electro-acoustic beats, drawing together the improvisational traditions in Jazz and Indian folk music. Together, they employ cutting-edge music-technological tools such as acoustic drums outfitted with Sensory Percussion triggers, Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) drum pads and Smart Fabric MIDI Controllers, but still emphasize the ritual aspects of creating music in the digital realm. TJIW will be joined by 3 Austin instrumentalists improvising for a portion of their set.

All ages event. Admission is $5-$15 via Brown Paper Tickets or at the door. https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4326450

Spectrum Ensemble is music group based in Denton, Texas, striving to increase visibility of talented Queer musicians and composers. They commission new works by Queer composers and perform those works, alongside works of famous Queer composers throughout history, in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and around the country.

Phonography Austin is hosting its first annual report!

Join us on Saturday, December 8, for this listening event and album release party. Local field recordists will showcase their work to capture and recontextualize a diversity of acoustic environments.

Austin-based artists R. Lee Dockery, Vanessa Gelvin, Travis Putnam Hill, Neal Johnson, Alex Keller, Sean O’Neill and Josh Ronsen will present field recordings they made individually over the past year and then join for a collective performance to conjure a phantasmic soundscape through the collaging of their discrete recorded materials. The event also marks the digital release of Phonography Austin’s second compilation, which includes recordings made in 2018 by 12 local artists.

The annual report audience is encouraged to attempt to listen to the recordings presented as sound objects in and of themselves—or to embrace the sense of place and context as it occurs in the recording. The event is open to the public, and donations will be accepted. For more information, email phonographyaustin@gmail.com.
