Al Margolis & Doug Van Nort

For this laptop duo project, Al Margolis and Doug Van Nort utilize acoustic materials and capture/transform one another's sound in an endless loop. In this program each artist performs a solo and then they join together. Van Nort, whose work is dedicated to the creation of immersive and visceral sonic experiences, tends to favor sculpting and stretching from small sound fragments. Margolis, on the other hand, known for running experimental label Pogus Productions, often creates collages out of larger sound segments. This performance also included Katherine Liberovskaya's live video. Recorded by EIF at the NYC space in December 2012.

RADIO SERIES

A radio series of programs recorded at Experimental Intermedia Foundation (EI), the legendary, influential downtown New York loft venue, incubator, showcase, and community center for composers and experimenters in the arts, known for being first and best at presenting (and recording!) new music and new media since the 70s. The concert series is programmed and produced by composer Phill Niblock who has been directing presentations at Experimental Intermedia since 1973 (well over 1,000 performances) and he is the curator of EI's XI Records label. In 1993, he opened a satellite space with window gallery in Ghent, Belgium. For more on the concert series, recordings, archives, and other intermedia adventures of Phill Niblock around the globe visit the Experimental Intermedia Foundation site. This radio project is a partnership between Experimental Intermedia Foundation and The Clocktower Gallery and its radio station at ARTonAIR.org. The series is produced and managed with the generous efforts of Byron Westbrook.
