Gert-Jan Prins, Cavity

The Amsterdam-based composer/performer Gert-Jan Prins in a solo electronics set entitled Cavity: The NYC Version, featuring self-built analogue equipment designed to emulate and activate aural surfaces and dimensions. Prins generates dense textures colored by rumbles, inner bass waves, rattle, and flow. His operating gestalt includes: how to empty a space after saturating it, how to play with expectations by reversing them, sculpting space with frequencies, and the sense of space inside electronic circuits and aspires to be energetic, urgent, temporal, visceral, and delicate. Recorded live in concert at Experimental Intermedia Foundation on March 25, 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.
