Under the Radar Concert with Al Margolis and James Ilgenfritz
String Surprise featuring musical duo Al Margolis and James Ilgenfritz.
Al Margolis has been an activist in the 1980s American cassette underground through his cassette label Sound of Pig Music; was co-founder of experimental music label Pogus Productions, which he continues to run and also currently runs Deep Listening Institute’s label Deep Listening Publications. Active under the name If, Bwana since 1984, making music that has swung between fairly spontaneous studio constructions and more process-oriented composition.
"Let it be declared that Al Margolis/If, Bwana is some sort of evil genius working with raw materials which are never adapted to a genre or a context, because they create one in that very moment. Those sources are radically altered up to an utterly unrecognizable state, anarchic manifestations moving in compact determination." (Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes).
James Ilgenfritz approaches the double bass as an archeologist, examining rarified aspects of the instrument’s sonic palette to confound the status quo. His work has been praised in Time Out New York, Signal To Noise, All About Jazz –New York, and Downbeat Magazine. A tireless musical traveler, James has taken part in recent performances including work with Anthony Braxton, Pauline Oliveros, George Lewis, Elliott Sharp, John Zorn, Lukas Ligeti, Gary Lucas, Steve Swell, and Denman Maroney. He is a member of Billy Fox’s Blackbirds and Bullets, Eric Eigner’s Mysterium Project, Gordon Beeferman’s Imaginary Band, Chris Botta/Joe Branciforte’s The Cellar And Point, and Ted Hearne’s The Delusion Story.

Art on the Wall Virtual Gallery - Caren Canier: Journey in Egypt
Ancient Egyptian artifacts and their ambiguous relationship to contemporary Islamic culture has been the subject of my most recent work. The emergence of the “Arab Spring” shortly after my visit further heightened my awareness of the strange marriage of cultures and visual vocabularies in Egypt, making me acutely aware of the intertwining of civilizations through time and space. The expression “history repeats itself” has taken on a more profound meaning as I observe the artifacts of worship, conflicts and conquests that occurred so many centuries ago.
On view throughout months of November and December. Part of Ione's 16th Annual Dream Festival.

David Whalen - "Setting Down the Pen and Brush - Breath Empowered Art - Digital Paintings using Breath and Head Motions''
Deep Listening Institute will be hosting an opening reception for their series, Art on the Wall Virtual Gallery. Since the fall of 2010, Deep
Listening Institute Artistic Director, Ione, has curated a virtual gallery series that features an artist's work on the Deep Listening Institute website, www.deeplistening. Every first Saturday, the Kingston community is welcome to come to Deep Listening Space at the Shirt Factory in Midtown Kingston to experience the virtual gallery projected on the wall. This July and August, Deep Listening Institute is proud to present the work of David Whalen.
David Whalen is an artist with quadriplegia from Glenville, NY who creates digital art using his breath and head movements. The art is created using Artrage software with a breath-driven joystick called Jamboxx. The artist states that this medium has "become very useful in exploring the non-traditional digital art medium which provides so many different accessible features for persons with disabilities to explore as well as a new hands free harmonica styled midi harmonica."
Software such as Artrage provides a number of capabilities for people with disabilities to explore the visual arts. These capabilities include introducing techniques such as changing scale, rotation, shading, layering, independent setup and dozens of other readily available program features that reduce fatigue and allow for full participation in the world of visual arts despite limited movement. Use of breath and head movement provide an alternative for the pen and the hand. For more information about Jamboxx technology, visit jamboxx.com
The Deep Listening Institute is located at the Shirt Factory at 77 Cornell St, Suite 303 in midtown Kingston, across the street from the main post office.

Deep Listening Intensive with Pauline Oliveros
Join us for a Deep Listening Intensive in the meditative and richly nourishing atmosphere of Ratna Ling, a retreat center established by Tarthang Tulku. Through Deep Listening exercises, musicians of all levels of ability and all styles will explore core concepts of improvisation. Individuals without musical training but an interest in the art of listening are also invited to participate.
 | We will work in an open exploratory circle. There will be opportunities to work alone, in pairs, trios and in larger groups, drawing on the richly innovative Deep Listening practices. There will be improvisations with and without instruments. Our work will also be informed by the optional morning practice of Kum Nye, a Tibetan yoga adapted for the West by Tarthang Tulku, and by exercises based on his Time, Space and Knowledge (TSK) teachings. The concepts found in these teachings will guide some of our improvisations. |
Benefits of Deep Listening practice include expanded awareness of time and space, relaxation that supports musical activity, an expanding sense of humor, dissolution of old limits, and opening to new patterns. Participants are invited to bring musical instruments, but this is optional.

Art on the Wall Virtual Gallery presents
“Flights” by Suiren, copyright 2011 - sumi, china paint on paper
Directly working with sumi, china paint on paper, the process is like flying--soaring and rising within a completely open and free space inside one’s mind and heart.
Inspired by music from Paul Kikuchi’s Flightpatterns CD, the paintings are rendered in the moment in a totally unrestricted way, tapping deep into the unconscious to express the un-expressible. Exhilarating and transforming, the process reveals with complete honesty one’s innermost truth.
Performances for the evening will include a reading/performance of Nile Night by Ione, vocal underscoring by Lisa Kelley, a reading with Rachel Koenig and solo performances by Jaclyn Heyen and Lisa Kelley. Food art for the reception created by Ellie Markovitch.

Deep Listening Institute presents the first open house for its project Adaptive Use Musical Instruments (AUMI). AUMI is a software interface that was developed specifically to enable people who have very little voluntary mobility to create and perform electronic musical sounds in order to participate in solo and ensemble improvisation. This two-hour open house will discuss the uses of AUMI in home, educational and therapeutic settings, as well as demonstrate an open drum circle collaboration using percussion instruments and the AUMI software interface .
This open house initiates a series of three workshops in the Hudson Valley area to educate teachers, therapists, aides and parents in how to use AUMI with improvisation and drumming. The AUMI interface in use At Abilities First, Inc. School since 2007 will be introduced by DLI executive director Pauline Oliveros. DLI AUMI Technical Assistant Jaclyn Heyen and Abilities First, Inc. Occupational Therapist/musician Leaf Miller will demonstrate how to use AUMI. After the demos the public will be invited to participate in the music making. AUMI is free to download from www.deeplistening.org/adaptiveuse and is intended to facilitate and empower musical expression for students with disabilities.
We are also proud to announce Deep Listening Institute has received $15000 from over 200 contributions through United States Artists, a nationwide grant-making, arts advocacy organization whose mission is to invest in America's finest artists and illuminate the value of artist to society, for Improvisation Across
Abilities. The project was initiated for funding on the USA ARTISTS web site in December 2010 and
was fully funded there by February 26 2011.

Under the Radar Concert with Mia Zabelka - EVENT CHANGE - SEE BELOW
Mia Zabelka is a composer, electric violinist and vocalist visiting the Hudson Valley from Vienna, with czech, jewish and french familiar background, lives in the Austrian region of southern Styria.
"M", Mia Zabelka's new solo project, focuses on the development of experimental improvisational techniques with the voice and violin, a process she calls "automatic playing". She explores the relationships between the body, gesture, sound, machines and space using also live electronics to expand the electro-acoustic sonic spectrum. She creates musical imageries in an ongoing process of experimentation and physical immediacy resulting in a melodic complexity and simultaneous transparency characteristic of her sound language.
Amongst Jon Rose and Malcolm Goldstein, Mia Zabelka has the international reputation of one of the most innovative freestyle Violin Players of the World. As a composer and performer of improvised, experimental and electro-acoustic music she has developed a unique language based on the de- and reconstruction of the violin’s sonic possibilities, expanding the instrument using live electronic effects and innovative performance techniques.
She studied music and composition with Roman Haubenstock-Ramati, Dieter Kaufmann, Kurt Schwertsik and Alexander Arenkov in Vienna, creating a foundation on the basis of which she continues to construct and explore the limits of sound and music in a language entirely her own. The violin, voice and her own body transform into sound bodies which are at once organic and primal, screaming, lyrical, composed and explosive.
As a pioneer of electro-acoustic performance and composition in Austria, Mia Zabelka developed the process she describes as automatic playing, continuously exploring sound and music as physical phenomena, always pushing back the boundaries in radical and provocative performances and compositions that question established notions and given structures. Her work has been described as "A dark delirium of sounds, a disintegrated vision on a complex world – an acoustic version of William Blake's poetry".
She has given concerts and performances throughout Europe, America and the former USSR. Recipient of numerous prizes and awards, she was a guest of the DAAD's (German Academic Exchange Service's) international artists' programme in Berlin and the Fulbright Commission in New York.
Tickets available at the door, first come, first serve. For more information, call 845.338.5984.

Opening Reception for Shadow-walks with Viv Corringham
Shadow-walks is an ongoing project, which involves three main elements: walking with others, listening to environmental sound, and improvised singing. It grew out of an interest in our sense of place and our relationship with places, especially very familiar ones. When we walk through a particular area frequently, I wonder how that affects our psyche, and how we affect the place. James Joyce wrote that places remember events, and I like the idea of walking through layers of the small everyday events of people’s personal history and memories.
Kingston is the fifteenth place where Shadow-walks have occurred. I ask local residents to take me on their “special” walks, those that have been repeated many times and have meaning for them. As we walk I record our conversations and the environmental sounds. Later I walk the route solo, singing the traces of that person’s walk, my voice in a sense becoming the ghost of these memories and associations. The recordings are edited together to become the final work, the Shadow-walk. The listener then takes an interiorized walk through the layers of memory, place and time in Kingston.

Shadow-walks Talk with Artist in Residence Viv Corringham
Shadow-walks in Kingston, NY - This evening's public talk will introduce artist-in-residence Viv Corringham to the community as she introduces us to her project Shadow-walks.
Shadow-walks is an ongoing project, which involves three main elements: walking with others, listening to environmental sound, and improvised singing. It grew out of an interest in our sense of place and our relationship with places, especially very familiar ones. When we walk through a particular area frequently, I wonder how that affects our psyche, and how we affect the place. James Joyce wrote that places remember events, and I like the idea of walking through layers of the small everyday events of people’s personal history and memories.
Kingston is the fifteenth place where Shadow-walks have occurred. I ask local residents to take me on their “special” walks, those that have been repeated many times and have meaning for them. As we walk I record our conversations and the environmental sounds. Later I walk the route solo, singing the traces of that person’s walk, my voice in a sense becoming the ghost of these memories and associations. The recordings are edited together to become the final work, the Shadow-walk. The listener then takes an interiorized walk through the layers of memory, place and time in Kingston.
The Kingston portion of Shadow-walks will culminate in a sound installation at Deep Listening Space with an opening reception on Saturday, December 4 from 5 to 8 pm. More information can be found at http://www.vivcorringham.org
Viv Corringham is a British vocalist, currently based in Minneapolis, USA, who makes performances, installations and soundwalks. Her work has been presented extensively worldwide, including recent appearances at Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, Portugal; New Adventures In Sound Art, Toronto; Abrons Art Center, New York City; Meridian Gallery, San Francisco; Galata Perform, Istanbul; Women in New Music Festival, Fullerton CA; Spark Electronic Music Festival, Minneapolis.
Articles about her have appeared in Organised Sound (UK), Musicworks (Canada), Playing With Words (UK) and For Those Who have Ears (Ireland). She received a McKnight Composer Fellowship through American Composers Forum in 2006.

An Evening with Pauline Oliveros, Francisco Lopez, Doug Van Nort & Jonas Braasch
An evening of psycho-electro-acoustics and free improvisation
featuring Pauline Oliveros, Francisco López, Doug Van Nort and Jonas Braasch
Please join us for a very special evening that promises to span a vast sonic terrain, challenging listener and performer alike through a seamless blend of Deep Listening and Absolute Noise, moving between ever-fluid improvisation and carefully controlled sound manipulation.
This quartet convened for two improvisational sessions between February and May of this year, with López sitting in on a Triple Point recording session and bringing his finely crafted sonic objects-as-instruments, further spanning the electro-acoustic divide that has become Triple Point's calling, with their blending virtual accordion, greis sound transformation system and soprano saxophone. These sessions have since become raw material for the individual artists to construct new visions of this shared sonic body - personal reflections culled from a collective tapestry.
This concert will feature these new personalized interpretations, presented with an expansive 16 channel sound system at the one and only Deep Listening Institute! Moving back from the personal to the collective, this will be followed by the world premiere of the new quartet in full improvisatory mode! Fragments from this crafted past will blend with reactions to the moment, sonic gestures being shared between players and sculpted within this unique space.
NOT to be missed!!
