performers:
____|___________________________________________________
v.v [oakland]

v.v. are the initials of ven voisey. lost in beauty, clarity through observation, listening with no intent, blurry-eyed gaze, filtration of second-hand experience, multi-channel communication void, nasty one-liners and the collision factors. could probably loop forever.

____||___________________________________________________
ck.jr.im.[san diego]

the collaborative engagement of artists civyiu kkliu, josh russell, and ilya
monosov. sounds generated by handling, manipulating, and resonating
record players and objects. markedly distant, texturous, and physical.

steve roden [los angeles]

steve roden is a visual and sound artist from los angeles. his work includes
painting, drawing, sculpture, film/video, and sound. in the sound works;
objects, architectural spaces, and field recordings, are abstracted through
electronics to create audio new spaces, or 'possible landscapes'. these
sound works present themselves with an aesthetic roden describes as"lower
case" - sound concerned with subtlety and the quiet activity of listening.
roden has performed live improvised soundscapes in arts spaces, galleries,
museums, theatres, and other alternative spaces worldwide. THE WIRE
magazine recently referred to roden's cd 'the radio' as "a particularly
modest form of genius", and included it in its best of 2000 experimental
cds.

bernard elsmere [los angeles]

Alameda Suspended multichannel composition for three pianos

Driving south on Alameda there's a half finished building with holes where
the windows should be. Looking for 9th I turn right on Bay. Bay's not a turn.
Trucks are waiting in four directions. Something is obstructing the gas pedal
and there's a bright light in my rear view mirror. It feels like the car is
slowly lifting up into the air.

The audience is composed into shapes. Lined up along corridors, grouped into
blocks, flowing freely around structures, walking in single file downtown in
the middle of roads which cross at right angles above and below each other.

Bernard Elsmere is a visual artist and musician. Since moving to LA from
London in '96 he's focussed primarily on music and installation, usually
working with violinist Julie Fowells as f100. f100's next performance will
be at Line Space Line at the Salvation Theater in LA on October 14th.

ilya monosov [san diego]

light, paintings, writings, etc.) can create relationships amongst
themselves and with the viewing public. far from the surreal or conceptual,
this work is physical and always very playful. he has worked with artist
bob cobbing, and continues ongoing collaboration with german artist marc
schulz. his collaboration with composer andrew deutsch and tony conrad is
due to be released on cd in the fall of 2002. bremsstrahlung recordings
will be releasing a two 3" cd metal box set of compositions from ilya

years.

the "evidence" video installation j.frede has created for "day of attention
021006" is part of his ongoing series of audio/video performances titled
repetitions. the repetitions series consists of repetitive motion captured
on video or film along with the recorded audio that is processed, looped
and constructed into a composition in real-time. while the initial idea
for the repetitions series was to be performance based, evidence is being
presented as an installation piece. the evidence footage was filmed from
j.frede's home in downtown los angeles of a LAPD helicopter that was
circling over a crime scene, the audio contains the sounds of two other
helicopters that were directly over his house and are not visible in
the film. "evidence" will be presented on a quadraphonic sound-system.
