Mia Zabelka, Project M

Project M features electronic violinist and vocalist Mia Zabelka, visual artist Mia Makela, and sculptor, sound artist, and musician from Prague, Martin Janiceck.

Zabelka's work examines the relationship between body, gesture, sound, machines and space, often using live electronics to expand the sonic spectrum. The Project M performance focused on the development of experimental improvisation techniques between the voice and the violin. The event features this process, which Zabelka has dubbed "automatic playing," interacting with Janicek's sound objects (realized during his ongoing residency at Triangle Art Association studios NY) and Makela's visualization that creates a synaesthetic experience.

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.
