Harvestworks Presents: No-input Summit - Toshimaru Nakamura, Philip White, Bob Bellarue, Bonnie Jones and Phillip Stearns
Panel discussion begins at 6pm; Performance begins at 8pm
On Sunday, April 29, 2012, Harvestworks will produce an investigation into the phenomena of no-input, a style of sound art using internal mixer feedback to generate sound. Presentations will feature No-input icon Toshimaru Nakamura who will be joined by sound artists Philip White, Bob Bellarue, Bonnie Jones, and Phillip Stearns in a panel that will explore the limits of the sound-generating technique, it's influence on the audience and how each artist has expanded their equipment to address stylistic concerns. The panel will be followed by a performance with special guest Gene Coleman where participants will exhibit the their idiosyncratic approaches to controlling an instrument that defies control.
Participant Bios
Toshimaru Nakamura has been producing sound art on his self-named "no-input mixingboard," after long unhappy years with the electric guitar. The name describes the methodof his sounds. "No" external sound source is connected to "inputs" of the "mixing board."Toshimaru is a distinguished and original voice in electro-acoustic improvisation. Since1998, Nakamura has been exploring the possibilities of his no-input mixing board system.
Philip White is a sound artist whose performances and presentations center on a nonlinearfeedback system, which consists of a mixer and several homemade circuits. Inaddition to his work with analog and digital electronics, White has created a large body ofintermedia pieces that explore meaning in information transmission.
Bob Bellerue is a sound artist based in Brooklyn NY. His work utilizes customelectronics and programming, incorporating feedback, prepared field recordings, demusicalized objects, and found oscillators. The artist states,"my work is based infeedback circuits used for synthesis; recontextualized field recordings;texture/drone/nonmusical instruments (shanai, rebab, gambuh, chinese cymbals, huntingcalls, junk metal, sheets of glass); and a performance presence best characterized asanimist/animalistic. I attempt to harness the sounds within nature, without imposing adeterministic melodic/rhythmic structure."
Bonnie Jones is a Korean-American writer, sound artist, and performer working primarilywith electronic sounds and text. Born in 1977 in South Korea, she currently resides inBaltimore, MD. Bonnie creates improvised and composed text-sound performances thatexplore the fluidity and function of electronic noise (field recordings, circuit bending) andtext (poetry, found, spoken). She is interested in how people perceive, "read" and interactwith these sounds and texts in our current technological environment. Bonnie haspresented her work in the US, Europe, and Asia and received her MFA from the MiltonAvery School of the Arts at Bard College.
