IceBerg was a success!
Here are some videos that were shown!
IceBerg
The IceBerg has temporarily come out of his deep-freeze hibernation,
and is presenting, under the aegis of BEAMS, the
Boreal ElectroAcoustic Music Society,
a program at the Ortona Gallery.
Music, video, poetry,
even the opportunity for participation by members of the audience.
The
program will include:
--
Musickk, a short vocal improvisation, in the style of
sound poetry, by Ron Hartwell. Ron was an early member of OTHERWISE,
Edmonton’s enemble for free musical improvisation in the late ‘70s.
--
Solitude, a video piece involving Haiga poetry and
images by Gerald St. Maur, extended piano and voice audio by Reinhard
von Berg, video realization by Piotr Grella-Mozejko.
-- Philip
Jagger: Singkronoscities. Sinkronoscities is the art
against the frontlines. Pushing the boundaries of performance video
and music into something more beautiful.
-- Helve Sastok: Shooting Stars. A vibrant dynamic electroacoustic piece shown with video realization by Piotr Grella-Mozejko uses crumpling paper and wind chimes as sound sources.
--
IceBerg, a video based on photographs of Ice On
Whyte taken by Evelyn Berg, video realized by Gene Kosowan, live
sound track performed by Reinhard von Berg and Izumi Kuribayashi.
--
Becky’s Black Friday. Experimentalist Gene Kosowan
will present “Becky’s Black Friday,” an unorthodox take on the
Rebecca Black tune “Friday,” arguably the worst dance song ever
recorded.
-- Four
items from Nocturne, a book of poems and attendant
paintings by Gerald St. Maur. Video realization by Gene Kosowan,
audio performed live by Reinhard von Berg, Bill Damur, Izumi
Kuribayashi, and Don Ross.
--
Apollinaire; trois poèmes. In the video trilogy
“Apollinaire; trois poèmes,” Pro Coro Canada soprano Catherine
Kubash recites three works by the French surrealist with soundscapes
by Ativan Zoloft, Babysugarbag, and Poster Tube Killer.
--
Inside, by Karlheinz Stockhausen, 1970. This is from
For Times To Come, 17 Texts for Intuitive Music.
A similar collection of verbal improvisation scores by Stockhausen,
Aus den sieben Tagen, was realized and recorded on vinyl by
Stockhausen’s ensemble around 1970; these are some of the best
group improvisations ever recorded. Some of these were performed by
OTHERWISE around 1980.
There will
be opportunity for audience members to participate in the first and
last piece of the program.
