"Glaciers Know The Score" to be used in New York City dance production...

This is interesting... I got an email regarding the use of a track from "The Eternal Battle of Heat and Cold" for a dance production. It is happening next weekend (Jan. 29-30) in New York City. Here is this link for more info: https://www.colby.edu/news/2016/01/18/colby-on-tour-jan-29-30/ 
Here is the ticket link: http://www.danspaceproject.org/calendar/annie-kloppenberg/ 
If you aren't in the mood to pay, we are offering free tickets with the code "Mules," which we are spreading liberally.

If you know someone in New York that needs something to do for free...Please share this info with them.

The great work continues, Palm Springs, Heat and Cold, WVE4 Flyer!

The view up.

Preparations for the Palm Springs Art Museum show have shifted into high gear. After careful evaluation of the site and a full review of the "Backyard Oasis" show that is running and will be up when phog masheeen performs for the free second Sunday on March 11, 2012 at 1:00 pm. A flurry of activity has ensued. Field recordings of the inner workings of swimming pools has occurred and new videos are in production for the March 11th performance. If you are in the neighborhood or out to the desert for the day. The show has the additional selling point of being FREE!

the Atrium at ground level. Look for us here!

Work on the Eternal Battle of Heat and Cold continues with recordings of the character of Cold. Voiced by the eminent actress Lisa Black. More Recordings of the Shambler and the newest addition to the Shambler class of instruments, the Shambone occurred at the phog masheeen desert enclave in Joshua Tree.

Coming to a Wonder Valley near you, WVE4!

"ad hoc committee" forming, Club Bit Map returns!

It was a great noise night at the Puka bar last Monday!

From that I got an opportunity to book the February and March shows.

Here's what I have planned.

Feb. 28 - "ad hoc committee" a group of 5 noise artists will be grouped in various ways and given tasks drawn from a hat! Tasks such as, "you have never seen the instruments you are playing, you have 3 minutes to learn to use them or your head will explode." or "you learned everything you know about music by watching two YouTube videos. Now play Eruption by Van Halen."

It has the potential for being an interesting evening.

The committee is forming!

Update: The Brutal Poodle, Johnny Left and Anonymous Bosch are on the ad hoc committee! These members of the Brutal Poodle ensemble rocked the stage at the Hi-desert experimental festival. I can't wait to see them in Long Beach!

Club Bit Map returns March 28th at the Puka bar. Bent electronics over dance beats. The recordings of electonic music pioneers repackaged for the dance floor. With a dance lesson on how to dance to move to this ... "stuff." Paul Wilkins from Clowns and Foetuses is one of the guest artists for this. We have one more opening for a circuit bender. I will keep you posted on that.

toodles,

phog
