Xprez: a live music/video performance event + a night
of contemporary animations featuring work by Paper Rad, Martha
Colburn, Amy Lockhart, Takeshi Murata, Francine Spiegel, Luke
Negrey, Andrew Meeken, Jim Trainor, James Duesing, Drew Pavelchak,
Michael Bell Smith, Philippe Blanchard, Cassandra C. Jones, and
Gretchen Hogue. Performers include Slow Dance Recyttal and Hooliganship.
SLOW DANCE RECYTTAL
is live music/animation/performance by Christopher Doulgeris,
Cassandra C. Jones and Peter Burr. Using a combination of flash,
motion graphics, and found photo animation, Slow Dance Recyttal
follows the perspective of a shape shifting character on a quest
to uncover the melodic structures within his multiplistic universe.
The projected animations are set to an all-original soundtrack
of electronic melodies and are accompanied by live clarinet and
bass guitar. The full performance takes place in a stage set of
giant glowing inflatable jems.
HOOLIGANSHIP is
a grunge rock inspired dance-off duo that combines electronic
melodies with freak-out animations for a sensory-overload multimedia
party. Christopher Doulgeris and Peter Burr use instructional
videos, pamphlets, and a bass guitar and keyboard combo to teach
audiences how to revel in a heap of sights and sounds with specially
choreographed dance moves.
Members of CARTUNE XPREZ
have performed in venues across the United States and Canada including:
The Drake Hotel in Toronto, ON, The Harris Theatre in Pittsburgh,
PA, The Portland Institute for Contemporary Arts in Portland,
OR and On the Boards in Seattle, WA. Upcoming events include The
Sanctary for Independant Media in Troy, NY, SPARK in Syracuse,
NY, and Skylab in Columbus, OH.
