    Greenwich House Music School
    $15 ($12)

    TILT Brass presents the debut of Director Chris McIntyre’s new solo trombone program, Meta Trombone. World premiere performances of works by Anthony Coleman and McIntyre, as well as UK/Berlin composer Richard Barrett’s Basalt (1991) and McIntyre’s realization of Cage’s Variations IV (1963) involving multiple radios.

    Chris McIntyre Phono-Marker from Smithson Project (2012)*
    *  World Premiere
    ** US Premiere

    Trombonist, composer, and TILT Brass Director Christopher McIntyre presents Meta Trombone, a program of works for solo trombone (unaccompanied and with electronics) that presents a number of radically differing contemporary musical languages, each maintaining focus on the idiomatic sound and mechanisms of the instrument itself. Works include the ecstatically virtuosic Basalt by British “New Complexity” composer Richard Barrett, seminal indeterminate work by American music icon John Cage, and 2 world premiere performances of works by McIntyre himself (a solo live-electronic addition to his burgeoning series of works taking inspiration from American Earth artist Robert Smithson) and legendary “Downtown” New York pianist and composer Anthony Coleman.

    Debut of McIntyre's UllU, with D. Shively, J. Fei, E. Keszler, and T. Levine at Incubator Arts Project

    Thursday, June 14, 2012 - 8:00pm   map

    On Thursday, June 14th, at Incubator Arts Project, composer and multi-instrumentalist Chris McIntyre presents the debut performance of his new band project, UllU. This "preview" of the group is a collaborative duo iteration with the extraordinary percussionist David Shively (Either/Or). Also featured for part of the performance is special guests James Fei on sopranino saxophone, Taylor Levine, guitar, and Eli Keszler on percussion.

    The music of UllU is a percussive, "harmonic", and textural mix of ideas; a dialectical investigation of pure and damaged symmetry, unified and polyvalent sonic images. Strategic and notated compositional material is used to create audible yet illusive formal structures. Rhythmic and linear content moves in and out of entrainment kaleidoscopically. The use controlled feedback and on-stage multi-channel amplification (outputting instrumental sound and electronics) modulates the shifting dimensionality of UllU's ensemble sound.

    "Walk-Through", Redmond Entwistle film installation w/ orig. score by CJM at CUBITT, London

    Friday, May 11, 2012 - Sunday, June 17, 2012   map

    Redmond Entwistle Walk-Through
    [original score by Chris McIntyre]
    Fri 11 May to Sun 17 June, 2012
    Open: Wednesday-Sunday 12-6pm

    CUBITT
    Gallery and Studios
    8 Angel Mews
    London N1 9HH

    Cubitt Gallery presents Walk-Through, a new film by British artist Redmond Entwistle set in the California Institute of the Arts, Los Angeles. The film explores the site, design and philosophy of CalArts as a starting point for posing wider questions about contemporary pedagogical models and their symbiotic relationship to new forms of social, political and economic exchange that have emerged since the 1970s.

    Walk-Through is devised as a tour of the CalArts campus, which moves back and forth through the institution’s history, analysing the location, design and function of the building, as well as its life in media reproductions and art history. The studied voiceover articulates the rhetoric of CalArt’s founding mission which, when read through the current moment, pinpoints an early form of cultural capital embedded within the pedagogical institution.

    Slowly the tour starts to shift as we see students gather in a classroom to attend a fictional recreation of influential artist and teacher Michael Asher’s ‘Post-Studio’ class. Taking the form of critical group discussions around students’ work, the Post-Studio class pushed CalArt’s mission to ‘haul the teacher from the podium’ and activate the student in the learning process, an approach, which has subsequently become one of the primary models of teaching in art schools today, and emphasises ‘speech’ as an artistic skill.

    The forensic-like atmosphere of the staged classroom discussion, which mirrors the intensity of Asher's classes that often extended late into the night, shifts the film into a space of science fiction and allegory. Some students can speak while others can’t, as whispered lines are fed to the principal actors from those at the back of the class. These first person recollections, taken from former students, are increasingly interrupted by the reading out of bureaucratic information, detailing the literal financial and infrastructural underpinning of the institution as if the students have become the mouthpiece for the institution’s memory, also hinting at the institutional critique in Asher’s own work. As the discussion progresses we begin to understand that what is being staged is an exercise in assessing the parameters of the institution’s legitimacy and the legitimacy of the class as a space within which to speak, as well as individual speech itself as a principal tool of democracy.

    Borrowing formal and atmospheric motifs from 1970s giallo films by directors such as Mario Bava and Dario Argento, Walk-Through re-imagines CalArts as a site of potential intrigue, subtly calling into the question the artistic and democratic tenets embedded in the school's founding ideology, which were regularly challenged by the critical practices of faculty members such as Asher. Through a style and form that shifts from didacticism to fiction the film expresses some of the complexity of the changing status of the body, memory and language in current educational and political formations, especially at a time when government cuts threaten the viability of arts education, and the marketisation of higher education is taking place worldwide. 

    Walk-Through is co-commissioned by Tramway for Glasgow International Festival 2012, International Project Space, Birmingham and Cubitt Gallery, London

    Walk-Through is a new film installation by British artist Redmond Entwistle set at the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles where he studied in the late 1990s. Beginning as a tour of the building, an examination of Calarts’ historical and contemporary image soon drifts into a fictional reenactment of a ‘Post-Studio’ class developed by influential artist and teacher Michael Asher, whose extended group discussions have become a primary model for teaching in art schools today.

    In this fictional group critique, actors and former students of Asher’s engage in a protracted war through language: lines are fed or denied, personal and institutional voices collide, silent groups conspire and speakers rebel against themselves, as the usual correspondence of individual and speech and their connection to democracy becomes far from clear. Walk-Through examines Calarts as the one of the primary sites of the shift towards an increasing emphasis on language in art education and its relationship to the emergence of an information-based economy.

    Walk-Through is co-commissioned by Tramway for Glasgow International Festival 2012, International Project Space, Birmingham and Cubitt Gallery, London

    Zeena Parkins, Ne(x)tworks & JACK Quartet @ The Kitchen

    Saturday, December 17, 2011 - 8:00pm   map

    Personnel
    Ne(x)tworks: Joan La Barbara (voice), Shelley Burgon (harp, electronics), Miguel Frasconi (glass, electronics), Stephen Gosling (piano), Chris McIntyre (trombone)

    JACK Quartet: Chris Otto, Ari Streisfeld (violin), John Pickford Richards (viola), Kevin McFarland (cello)

    Zeena Parkins - composer, live electronics
    Preshish Moments (Michael Carter) - creative technical director, live electronics
    Cynthia Madansky - visual artist

    Members of the "new music all-stars" (Time Out NY) ensemble Ne(x)tworks join forces with the "thrillingly vital" (Wash. Post) JACK Quartet to present the world premiere of composer and "renowned player and stretcher of boundaries" (Dusted) Zeena Parkins' Spellbeamed. Commissioned by Ne(x)tworks, Spellbeamed takes inspiration from literary critic Walter Benjamin’s vast Archive. Each musician collects their own archive of quotidian materials then utilized in an animated score developed in collaboration with visual artist collaborator Cynthia Madansky. The resultant sound is further enhanced with live-processing by Preshish Moments and the composer, creating an ecology of inter-relationships developed between improvisers and readers, sound and score, objects and instruments.

    Both evenings begin with the premiere of three additional works by Ne(x)tworks composers Joan La Barbara, Miguel Frasconi, and Chris McIntyre. La Barbara's Persistence of Memory explodes with "hammering rhythms, angular jolts, and jagged slashes of percussive attacks", all within an expansive, haunted electronic "atmosphere." Frasconi's Sitting & Standing: A Memoir employs "a physical activity we do without much thought… as the compositional DNA that allows each performer to construct a soundscape unique to their instrument and their own body." Smithson Project: Sites & Nonsites by McIntyre is a set of works ranging in style from ambient/concreté states to brutal, irregular structures. Each segment is a meditation on artist Robert Smithson's "nonsite" concept and the dialectical relationship to the origin "site."

    Eavesdropping: McIntyre & Frasconi, Duets at The Tank

    Thursday, May 26, 2011 - 7:30pm - 8:30pm   map



    Christopher McIntyre, trombone and synthesizer
    Miguel Frasconi, glass instruments & electronics

    $10

    These two renowned and versatile improvising composers, and long-time members of the new music ensemble Ne(x)tworks, perform together as a duo for the very first time and explore new timbral combinations and sonic trajectories.

    Miguel Frasconi is a composer and improviser who uses electronics, laptop, and an instrumentarium of glass objects to create music from a uniquely imagined tradition. His glass instruments are struck, blown, stroked, smashed and otherwise coaxed into vibration. They have been called “a beautiful menagerie of pealing contraptions” by Time Out NY. Miguel has worked closely with composers John Cage, Jon Hassell, James Tenney, Morton Subotnick, and has collaborated with many choreographers, including modern dance pioneer Anna Halprin. He was a founding member of The Glass Orchestra, the internationally renowned new music ensemble featuring all glass instruments, and presently performs with Ne(x)tworks, an ensemble of “new music all-stars” (Time Out NY). He also teaches electronic music at Bard College. More info at frasconimusic.com

    Christopher McIntyre leads a multi-faceted career in the contemporary arts as a solo and ensemble performer, composer, and curator/producer. Time Out New York noted that "...with every passing week, trombonist-composer Chris McIntyre becomes more central to the new-music experience in New York." (Nov. '09) Current projects include leading TILT Brass and 7X7 Trombone Band, and collaborative efforts such as Ne(x)tworks. In his composing, McIntyre has experimented with conceptual elements such as spatialization, recontextualized notated material, and improvisative strategy, along with ideas of scale, symmetrical pitch constructions, and self-similarity. He has contributed work to the repertoire of TILT, Ne(x)tworks, 7X7 Trombone Band (for choreographer Yoshiko Chuma), Flexible Orchestra, and B3+ brass trio. Beyond performing and creating music, McIntyre is also active as a curator and concert producer, with independent projects at venues including The Kitchen, Issue Project Room, and The Stone (June 2007), and as Artistic Director of the MATA Festival (07-10).

    This presentation is part of the Well Weathered Music Series.

    TILT Creative Brass Band
    Brooklyn based TILT Creative Brass Band (TCBB) is a beautifully strange combination of military brass band and Downtown repertoire ensemble. The group has presented concerts since January 2003 at venues ranging from Whitney Museum to Barbes in Brooklyn. Since its inception, TCBB has fearlessly taken on works from the fringes of experimental concert music, tongue-in-cheek agitprop, and hybrid scores combining notation and improvisation. The group frequently presents entire programs of original works by its composer/performer members (Kevin Norton, Curtis Hasselbring, Nate Wooley, among others) and colleagues from the field, including legendary pianist Anthony Coleman (released on Tzadik), Doctor Nerve's Nick Didkovsky, multi-instrumentist Charles Waters, and cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum.

    In addition, the Creative Brass Band is committed to presenting works from the experimental tradition, ranging from a Varése graphic score from the late 50's and selections from James Tenney's Postal Pieces to works by Fredric Rzewski (Les Mounton de Panurge) and early John Adams (Light Over Water). In June '09, TCBB kicked off a new on-going series of programs called New York Noise which presents historical and current works by important composers from the Downtown community and its ancestors such as Elliott Sharp, Lois V. Vierk, and Rhys Chatham. In 2010, the group will present several programs at ISSUE Project Room and will record and release its current To TILT repertoire.

    Mick Rossi
    Pianist, percussionist, and composer Mick Rossi’s diverse accomplishments include: being among “the most courageous, gifted, and charismatic musicians" of the New York Downtown scene (AllAboutJazz); a long-time Philip Glass collaborator and member of the ensemble as pianist, percussionist, and conductor; and working with artists from Dave Douglas to Kelly Clarkson to Leonard Cohen. He recently conducted Book of Longing at the Sydney Opera House, and performed Einstein at the Beach at Carnegie Hall and Koyaanisqatsi at the Hollywood Bowl. Recent recordings include One Block From Planet Earth (OmniTone), and They Have A Word For Everything (Knitting Factory). His recent concert at Le Poisson Rouge presenting his latest and ninth recording Songs From The Broken Land (Orange Mountain Music) was featured in the NY Times.

    “Double-Bill” is a group exhibition curated by New Commissions artist Redmond Entwistle that includes his new film Monuments along with works by Mary Billyou, Suzanne Goldenberg, Rafael Sanchez, and Kathleen White. Using seating salvaged from various defunct cinema spaces, a temporary cinema will be assembled in the gallery featuring twice-daily screenings of Monuments as well as two series of films. The first series is about the early New York film avant-garde and the second is a selection of recent film and video work by artists including Marianna Ellenberg, Erik Moskowitz and Amanda Trager, Raha Raissna and Stom Sogo.

    Starting with Monuments, a retelling of the story of Post-Minimalism and its relationship to New York and New Jersey in the vein of comic horror, “Double-Bill” brings together a series of works that share B-cinema’s ethics and dilemmas of autonomous production and its achievement of magical and critical effects through minimal means. These works are interspersed with and interrupt the makeshift cinema. A projection booth will be at the entrance to the gallery and on the wall of the booth are a series of text paintings by Mary Billyou. Behind the cinema screen and lit by studio lights is Rafael Sanchez and Kathleen White’s ongoing assemblage and street performance Book Sale. Intermingled with, and obstructing the collection of, cinema seating are Suzanne Goldenberg’s paper, wood and cloth sculptures.

    GALLERY HOURS: WEDNESDAY - SATURDAY; 11am - 6pm, and by appointment.

    "The central work in the exhibition is Surfaces Of Constant Time, a new eight-minute video in which an amorphous shape fluidly breaks down into smaller units of color, melding together in constant motion, regrouping, evolving, and transforming into unexpected configurations. Paired with a soundtrack by Chris McIntyre, this video takes Alvarez’s whole concept into a shape-shifting and ever-evolving engagement."

    Chris McIntyre presents
    To TILT: Original Music for TILT Brass


    Composer, trombonist, and producer Chris McIntyre presents New York-based TILT Brass' two projects, TILT SIXtet and TILT Creative Brass Band, with a full evening of extraordinary new Downtown brass music. This event kicks off TILT's on-going concert series To TILT: Original Music for TILT Brass. To TILT focuses solely on repertoire written for TILT's distinctive ensembles, with works that often embrace the playerly, composed/improvised hybrid aesthetic developed in New York's Downtown scene over the past 40 years. The Roulette program features 3 world premieres, 2 for SIXtet by the legendary Anthony Coleman and pianist/composer Pete Drungle, and the third by McIntyre for the 10-piece Creative Brass Band. Also featured are pieces by TILT Brass members (Curtis Hasselbring, Nate Wooley) and its esteemed colleagues John King and Nick Didkovsky. The personnel for this special event is filled with some of the best all-around instrumentalist/artists New York City has to offer, including Kevin Norton, Joe Fiedler, Russ Johnson, John Clark, Gareth Flowers, Jacob Garchik, and both Hasselbring and Wooley.

    directions

    CJM Sounds features a set of compositions created by composer/performer Chris McIntyre. morphi studies is an on-going project that situates the trombone's sound and idioms within various types of electronically produced contexts. It is a collection of short works created as both a solo vehicle for the composer and as a way to explore the capabilities of MAX/MSP and conventional "tape piece" techniques. quartet music for trumpet, horn, bass trombone, and Nord Lead 2 was first inspired by a commission from the organization Composer's Concordance and the brass trio B3+. Part 1, since revised, was premiered in March 2008. Tonight's performance is the premiere of the complete three-movement work. Its aesthetic lies somewhere between historical Vareseian "organized sound" and 21st century stylistic inclusivity. quartet music strives to be playerly ensemble music while proffering a distinctive vision of 21st century chamber music.

    Program:
    morphi studies for solo trombone and sound
    McIntyre - trombone & laptop

    quartet music: parts 1,2 and 3 for brass trio and Nord synth
    Josh Frank - trumpet, Mike Atkinson - French horn, Dave Nelson - bass trombone, McIntyre - Nord Lead 2
