Richard Garet
I’m a sound artist, a video artist, and a painter. I explore
the communicational, affective, and the sensory aspects of the
various mediums I utilize, their constant intrusion on our senses,
and how they affect our perception. Even though my work suits
the standard gallery environment, many of my other activities
as an artist explore the various practices of experimental sound
and video performance. All of these forms are different explorations
of the ways in which my work exposes the visitors to visual and
physical acoustic sensory perception.

EA
is a photoelectroacoustic project working generally within the
idiom of computer-processed natural and instrumental sounds, and
with the interrelation of the visual environment with the aural
environment through slide, film and video projections.
3.2_topographies was first performed live at the Issue
Project Room in Brooklyn on March 8, 2006. The audience was encouraged
to wander during the performance, to treat the space as an unfolding
aural environment, constantly in flux across the room's 16-channel
sound system. At Monkey Town we present the second stage of this
work, remapping the space and sonics of the original performance
onto a new and unique situation. This is not intended to be a
faithful document of a performance, but rather a new layer of
the developing aural and visual environment that constitutes the
ongoing work.
Amnon
Wolman
Amnon Wolman composes in varied styles and for diversified forces
of musicians grounded in a essential interest in experimentation
and a belief that music as an art-form expresses many dissimilar
ideas of beauty. His interest in technology guides him, in recent
years, to manipulating the spatial placement of speakers and using
them as musical instruments, pursuing the interaction between
live performers and technology, and to a collaboration with performers
in creation of pieces as equal partners. His catalogue of compositions
includes works involving computer generated and processed sounds,
symphonic works, vocal and chamber pieces for different ensembles,
film music, and music for theater and dance. His recently premiered
pieces include "Picnic Site" used for a choreography
by Trisha Brown and Steve Paxton for the Lyon Biannale in September
2003, "End Divided Road" for Flute and electronics for
Mario Carolli at the TRAIETTORIE Festival in Parma Italy also
in September 2003, "Cruising Prohibited when Lights Flashing"
for the Gay Gotham Chorus at the Greenwich House, NY, "her
mind moves upon silence", for harpsichord and electronic
sounds, for Vivienne Spiteri in Toronto, both premiered in October
2003. Amnon was recently appointed as a professor of composition
at the Conservatory of Music, and the Director of the Center for
Computer Music, at Brooklyn College, as well as at the Graduate
Center of the City University of New York.
