Share – free audio & video jam – featured guest Seijiro Murayama
What is share?
SHARE is first and foremost a platform to explore expression, in a variety of artforms. Through its weekly open jam sessions, SHARE.nyc engages its participants and spectators in a continually changing dialog on art and culture. As such, SHARE represents an ongoing exploration of collaborative performance as cultural exchange. It mines the relationship of artistic practice to cultural identity, remapping a multiplicity of cultural discourses. The act of creating artistic content in a multicultural collaborative context is a fascinating and natural extension of the SHARE concept.
Share is an open jam, not just for digirati, but for all new culture lovers. Participants bring their portable equipment, plug into our system, improvise on each others’ signal and perform live audio and video. We furnish the amplification and projection. Share happens every Sunday.
open jams and walk-in sets — Bring your equipment/instruments/gear etc. to join the jam!
audio jam: Prepared and spontaneous music from eight plus simultaneous performers.

Littoral: MUSIC OF THE HEMISPHERES
MUSIC OF THE HEMISPHERES
The idea for –MUSIC OF THE HEMISPHERES—originates in the work of neuro-philosopher Dan Lloyd, Thomas C. Brownell Professor of Philosophy and a faculty member of the Neuroscience program at Trinity College, Connecticut. Dr. Lloyd’s research focuses on taking patterns found in brain activity and converting them into musical score. These scores are not biofeedback or music cognition experiments, but rather extracting the ‘architecture of consciousness,’ as it occurs in the brain, and assigning its varying components musical tones. The result is musical scores meant to reflect brain activity itself. Through this, Lloyd found that recognizable musical structures emerge, and he thus formulated a theory that consciousness operates within a musical structure – or rather, that music is an expressive interpretation of how our brains work.
The “music” generated through Lloyd’s project seems oddly familiar, and is surprisingly harmonious and musical. Now, should this theory be proven, the philosophical implications are both joyous and endless. The idea that we are, in fact, music – or that music is, in fact, truly human: a reflection or interpretation of the human mind.
The event will serve as both an exhibition and an experiment. Elisa Da Prato, a Brooklyn-based filmmaker who had initiated the event and is currently working on a film concerning this theme, will be pairing Dan Lloyd with different ensembles/musicians who will be assigned with the task of interpreting the scores that are the result of his studies. The event will be divided into three parts: a screening of a short film about Lloyd’s experiments that would spell out the context for the experiment; the staging of these scores as interpreted by the musicians; and a discussion concerning both the aesthetics and the musical validity of the aforementioned scores. The panel is shaping to include Lloyd, a neuroscientist, a music theorist, and the musicians assigned to the task.
Da Prato states that her goal is to create a discussion about the emotional and biological necessity of music itself. She wishes to assimilate Lloyd’s theory to the scientific/philosophical equivalent of Woody Allen’s joke concluding his film Annie Hall: “we need the eggs.” The idea being that, for some reason, we need to both express and experience people in musical form. Almost a scientific case for joy.
People Like Us presents “Genre Collage” + Aki Onda
Since 1991 British artist Vicki Bennett has been an influential figure in the field of audio visual collage, through her innovative sampling, appropriating and cutting up of found footage and archives. Using collage as her main form of expression, she creates audio recordings, films and radio shows that communicate a humorous, dark and often surreal view on life. These collages mix, manipulate and rework original sources from both the experimental and popular worlds of music, film, television and radio. People Like Us believe in open access to archives for creative use, and have made work using footage from the Prelinger Archives, The Internet Archive, and A/V Geeks. In 2006 she was the first artist to be given unrestricted access to the entire BBC Archive. People Like Us have previously shown work at Tate Modern, Sydney Opera House, Pompidou Centre and Sonar, and performed radio sessions for John Peel and Mixing It. The ongoing sound art radio show ‘Do or DIY’ on WFMU has had over three quarters of a million hits since 2003. The People Like Us back catalogue is available for free download hosted by UbuWeb.
Aki Onda is an electronic musician, composer, and photographer. Onda was born in Japan and currently resides in New York. He is particularly known for his Cassette Memories project – works compiled from a “sound diary” of field-recordings collected by Onda over a span of two decades. Onda’s musical instrument of choice is the cassette Walkman. Not only does he capture field recordings with the Walkman, he also physically manipulates multiple Walkmans with electronics in his performances. In another of his projects, Cinemage, Onda produces slide projections of still photo images set to live guitar improvisation. Onda has collaborated with artists such as Michael Snow, Ken Jacobs, Alan Licht, Loren Connors, Oren Ambarchi, Noël Akchoté, Jac Berrocal, Linda Sharrock, and Shelley Hirsch.

Toshimaru Nakamura
Toshimaru Nakamura
Toshimaru Nakamura began his career playing rock guitar, but gradually explored other types of music, even abandoning guitar. He uses a mixing console as a live, interactive musical instrument, self-named “no-input mixing board.” The name describes the method of his music. “No” external sound source is connected to “inputs” of the “mixing board” On the “no-input mixing board” the input is connected to the output manipulating the resultant audio feedback.
Nakamura has recorded solo albums and has collaborated with Yoshihide Otomo, Keith Rowe, John Butcher and Nicholas Bussmann among others. He has also collaborated with Taku Sugimoto, Tetuzi Akiyama, daner Kim Ito, drummer Jason Kahn and Schiko M.
Craig Baldwin Presents MOCK UP ON MU
MOCK UP ON MU
A radical hybrid of sci-fi, spy, Western, and even horror genres, Craig Baldwin’s Mock Up On Mu cobbles together a feature-length “collage-narrative” based on (mostly) true stories of California’s post-War sub-cultures of rocket pioneers, alternative religions, and Beat lifestyles. Pulp-serial snippets, industrial-film imagery, and B- (and Z-) fiction clips are intercut with newly shot live-action material, powering a playful, allegorical trajectory through the now-mythic occult matrix of Jack Parsons (Crowleyite founder of the Jet Propulsion Lab), L.Ron Hubbard (sci-fi author turned cult-leader), and Marjorie Cameron (bohemian artist and “mother of the New Age movement”). Their intertwined tales spin out into a speculative farce on the militarization of space, and the corporate take-over of spiritual fulfillment and leisure-time.
Craig Baldwin
Craig Baldwin is a filmmaker and curator whose interests lie in archival retrieval and recombinatory forms of cinema, performance, and installation. He is the recipient of several grants, including those from the Rockefeller Foundation, Alpert Award, Creative Capital, Phelan, AFI, FAF, and California Arts Council. Over the last two decades, his productions have been shown and awarded at numerous international festivals, museums, and institutes of contemporary art, often in conjunction with panels, juries, and workshops on collage and cultural activism. His own weekly screening project, Other Cinema, has continued to premiere experimental, essay, and documentary works for over a quarter century, recently expanding into DVD publishing.
After a 6-month world tour with his monumental 2-hour ‘collage narrative’ “Mock Up On Mu”, he has returned to studio work, and research on his next short feature “Invisible Insurrection”.
Craig Baldwin will be giving a short introduction to the film at 8:00 and follow with a Q&A. Screening will begin at 8:15.
Acid Birds + Light in August + Charles Waters
Acid Birds
Acid Birds is a trio composed of Andrew Barker, Charles Waters and Jaime Fennelly. Barker formed the trio ACID BIRDS in order to perform the composition of the same name. Along with saxophonist / clarinetist Charles Waters, and multi-instrumentalist Jaime Fennelly, the trio premiered in 2004 for the artist collective Free103point9, and their creative music event entitled Assembled: Free Jazz + Electronics. In November of 2007, Barker, Waters, and Fennelly convened for a second time to record ACID BIRDS with longtime collaborators Jeremy Wilms and Torbitt Schwartz on QBICO records (Italy).
Andrew Barker is a drummer, multi-instrumentalist, and composer living in Brooklyn, NY. Barker has appeared on recordings with a wide range of artists such as bassist William Parker, saxophonists Rob Brown, Daniel Carter, Sabir Mateen, and Charles Waters – with whom Barker founded the durable Gold Sparkle Band in 1994. Barker plays in a wide variety of musical settings, most recently writing and playing guitar for his new heavy metal band, Hallux.
Multi-instrumentalist & artist Jaime Fennelly maintains a practice of musical performance & composition which borders on near ritual praxis in its approach and conception. He is a founding member (along with Chris Forsyth and Fritz Welch) of the iconoclastic group Peeesseye, a transcontinental amalgam of minimalist rock, noise, folk, drone, psych, improv, sound poetry, and absurdity that has produced seven CDs, one 7-inch, over 145 concerts in Europe and the US, and untold blown minds since forming in 2002. Jaime is also a member of the elusive and rarely spotted quartet Phantom Limb & Bison, the intermittent pranksters Manpack Variant and the noise/akshuntist cover band peeinmyfacewithsurgery. His music has been released by Digitalis Records, QBICO, Archive Recordings, 8mm, Misanthropic Agenda, Chocolate Monk, Unframed Recordings, Utech, Deep Fried Tapes, Locust Music and Evolving Ear. Currently he is working on a series of photographs documenting his own slow unraveling whilst living on a remote island off the state of Washington.
Saxophonist Charles Waters lives in Brooklyn. He works with grids, particles, and alpha notational systems in the mystical realm of nuzion science. He still loves coffee!
Light in August
In July of 2009, 7 musicians went into Andrew Barker’s Brooklyn studio space that was yet to be finished and created a recording of improvisations in which their sounds were mutually manipulated and cross convoluted by composer Ryan Ingebritsen. Nobody really knew what to expect with an untested studio space and a group of musicians that had never all played together before. The result was a stellar single movement work called Light in August as well as a library of various short improve gems that are still being edited and mixed for future release. Thus light in August was born.
Light in August is a rotating group of musicians but the concept behind the group remains the mutual manipulation and re-contextualization of sonic forces through electronic and acoustic processes. Born of a concept begun by Ingebritsen and fellow composer/performer Jason Wampler in their duo We Can and We Must, light in August extends this musical technique and train of thought from the electronic to the electro-acoustic and purely acoustic realms. The pseudo-psychic energy that emanates from the process of mutual sonic interaction gives the group a multi-layered environment to exist within and expands the notion of improvisational cohesiveness in a way that is more dimensional than structural. The group itself, being the brainchild of Andrew Barker, Charles Waters, and Ingebritsen, expands a history of collaboration including New York recording artist and Producer Shannon Fields (Stars Like Fleas, Silent League) and merges other streams of improvisatory collaboration (We Can and We Must, 12 Dimension-Plane of Sound and Vision Orchestra).
The evening’s lineup includes
Charles Waters (reeds)
Andrew Barker (drums and various other instruments)
Shannon Fields (Guitars, keys, electronics)
Jason Wampler (keys and electronics)
Erica Dicker (violin, baritone violin)
Dan Peck (tuba, etc)
Ryan Ingebritsen (live electronic manipulation)
Karl Franke
Charles Waters (Solo)
Saxophonist Charles Waters lives in Brooklyn. He works with grids, particles, and alpha notational systems in the mystical realm of nuzion science. He still loves coffee!

The act of creating artistic content in a multicultural collaborative context is a fascinating and natural extension of the SHARE concept.
Share is an open jam, not just for digirati, but for all new culture lovers. Participants bring their portable equipment, plug into our system, improvise on each others’ signal and perform live audio and video. We furnish the amplification and projection. Share happens every Sunday.
open jams and walk-in sets — Bring your equipment/instruments/gear etc. to join the jam!
audio jam: Prepared and spontaneous music from eight plus simultaneous performers. This is the time and place to perform a piece of music you’ve written and hear it on a large sound system, improvise spontaneously with other participants, get feedback on your latest project or try out that new max patch/software setup. Bring your noise maker of choice and an XLR, quarter-inch or RCA cable to join.
video jam: multi-user live video synthesis. Generating an immersive visual environment, in the SHARE tradition, in which multiple participants are able to jointly compose the video output.

Tonight’s featured guests -
- WALK – PASA – BOUGE is visually designed to expand and refract literary texts, weaving disparate sources and forms into a seamless theatrical whole between all performers. The show is partly improvised, fusing electronic music with visuals created using both traditional techniques and digital technologies. Using highly unique and unusual setups, the visual artists may be following the music or creating a separate line of parallel play with the aerialist, to be viewed by the multi-tasking mind of the 21st century viewer.
Artists:
Laia Cabrera (visual artist and independent film-maker from Spain, based in New York)
Maite San Juan (aerial artist and actress from Barcelona, based in Brussels)
Isabelle Duverger (photographer and designer from Paris based in NY)
Brice Malahude ( musician and sound designer from Paris, based in Brussels)WALK-PASA-BOUGE:

- Pink Twins
“There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the Pink Twins”
Pink Twins is a duo of visual artists and electronic musicians, brothers Juha and Vesa Vehviläinen, based in Helsinki, Finland. Active as Pink Twins since 1997, Pink Twins have shown their works in exhibitions and festivals on all continents and performed audiovisual live shows through Europe, Americas, Asia and Australia.
Pink Twins’ videos work on the crossing of visual art and music. Their computer-treated imagery focus on human perception, its functionality and limits. Pink Twins build a tissue of connections between their sound work and their visual work, attempting to intimately join mundane fragments usually disjoint. They work from fragments of images, sounds and sensations which our daily life is subjected to and break them down into small particles to reunite them once again in audacious chaotic constructions.
For their live performances Pink Twins incorporate live electronic music and a live mix of video works. The music of Pink Twins is based on improvised live sound processing of concrete and electronic sounds, noises and musical elements. The mix of live sound and video projections creates a hyperactive, constantly changing and extremely detailed experience of time and space.
