Tonight’s feature guest is Le Code (Yoann Trellu with Sibin Vassilev)
Le Code is a live-generated digital painting. Le Code should be perceived as an abstract movie, not as a concert with visuals.
The painting emerges from artistic and aesthetic choices:
- Only horizontal and vertical should be used in terms of graphic elements.
- Only plain colors should be used.
This is revealed by colored lines and rectangles.
- At times, an external element comes to disrupt the order, appearing as a dramatic event.
Le Code is a visual and poetic language.
The subject is an attempt to give a depiction of Life on a graphic level.
Or the creation of digital sonic paintings that might induce it.
The graphic evolution can be almost undetectable, or very fast and sequenced.
This alludes to memory, the perception of time, and the notion of evolution.
The basis to Le Code is a program developed by Yoann Trellu on Max/MSP/Jitter. This software uses audio signals to generate visuals and interact with them. The interaction sound/image, although it is “physical” and mandatory, isn’t the substance of this project: the software uses the audio signal to function but its aim isn’t its visualization.
The music is normally played by Mangrove Kipling but for this session in ShareDJ, the music will played by Sibin Vassilev
Yoann Trellu is a french multi-disciplinary video artist established in Berlin since 2003.
Since 10 years he worked with numerous musicians and performers in France, Germany and USA.
Main dance collaborations: Motion-Lab, Wire Monkey Dance (USA), Howard Katz, Post Theater, Ten Pen Chi (Berlin)
More informations on http://www.keyframed.org
Sibin Vassilev grew up in Berlin and Sofia. He was a member of Rag Dolls, a famous Bulgarian rock-band. In the nineties he turned his attention and focus to computer music. He composed and produced soundscapes, among others for the EXPO 2000 in Hannover. He created various sound installations. From 2003 onwards he composed soundtracks for movies and theater productions.

fff
run by Florian Meyer since 2004.
Born 1976 in Berlin / Germany.
Demand is the sound producing usage of music related objects and machines, which are not intended to produce sound by themselves.
Main fokus is the classical dj-setup, recently reduced to only the mixing-device and/or some cables.
Hereby the process for realization of music is subjekt to various conditions and hence to sudden change at any time. The result is a ruminant quest for spaces beyond melody and rhythm.
fff-performances therefore take place along the line between boring media-art and interesting music or the other way round.

soundflorA
The artist SoundflorA is routed in traditional
singer-song writer music for voice and guitar. In 2007 she startet to use electronic devices like MIDI and drum-sampling and combined them with unusual analog instruments such as a paper-tape organ, bells and the use of found footage sound. So noise and music find a new synthesis on the border between alternativ soundtrack and radio play.
Last year SoundflorA finished the unpublished concept album „The duration of a soap bubble“
based on philosophical texts. It includes very different electro-acoustic tracks.
In general SoundflorA is a loop-based artist.
The newest project is called „I‘m a walkman band“ and more performance orientated.
For this kind of „retro-sampling“ she trys to use outmoded equipment with modern Dj-techniques and follows in the footsteps of artist like the japanese Aki Onda and his „Casette Memories“.

Jonathan Kane’s February
February
Jonathan Kane is a Downtown NYC legend — as co-founder of the no-wave behemoth Swans, and the rhythmic thunder behind the massed-guitar armies of Rhys Chatham and the rock excursions of La Monte Young and one of the hardest-hitting drummers on the planet.
“Wedding the brutal severity of Delta country boogie and Seventies German pulse rock – all dead-ahead motion and mounting detail…Epic.”
Rolling Stone
“Somewhere between Sonic Youth and Steve Reich is the drummer Jonathan Kane. Interested in the crossroads of new-music iconoclasm and experimental rock, he has a drummers sense of steady dynamic development and an unapologetic love of noise. Virtuosic”
New York Times
“Intensely propulsive motorik blues, its muscularity and greased relentlessness is never less than exhilarating”

MATA Interval – Dither Electric Guitar Quartet
Brooklyn, NY – On January 21st at Issue Project Room, MATA presents a gloriously loud and eclectic program featuring Dither, a versatile electric guitar quartet and a rising force in New York. Curated by guitarists James Moore and Taylor Levine, MATA will showcase six exciting new works by young composers for electric guitars in duos, quartets, and finally a 10-piece hearing-deprived electric guitar orchestra!
Program Info
James Moore and Taylor Levine are accomplished guitarists and chamber musicians who actively perform new and experimental music in New York. The two share a common approach to the guitar as a unique electro-acoustic instrument with extensive capabilities for electronic manipulation, a rich history of improvisation, wide ranges of timbre and style, and endless popular and cultural roots. Forming Dither in 2007, they have found an outlet to explore some of their favorite guitar music, and to work with composers to create an exciting new repertoire.
As Curators for MATA 2.3, James and Taylor will present an entire show of new electric guitar works, many of which are world premieres, including pieces by Eric km Clark, Lisa R. Coons, Bryce Dessner, Florent Ghys, Joshua Lopes, Paula Matthusen, and Wil Smith. These works represent a wide variety of approaches: from clean pop textures to heavily processed noise, from tight rhythmic unity to cacophonous sound mass. What unifies them all is that they utilize and wholeheartedly embrace the beautiful and engulfing sound of electric guitars.
Closing the show will be an exciting large ensemble piece by Eric km Clark, Canadian experimental composer and violinist for the California EAR Unit. The curious and captivating feature of this piece is Eric’s compositional technique of “Hearing Deprivation.” In this practice, the performers are deprived of hearing through the use of earplugs and cup-headphones, which playback white noise at a high volume. This makes it nearly impossible for an individual player to effectively coordinate with the ensemble or to judge his or her own sound. As the performers attempt to play their parts accurately, new soundscapes emerge ranging from hypnotizing hermetic canons, to driving sections of controlled chaos, to beautiful pointillistic textures. Though it may be a frightening idea, hearing deprivation proves to be a highly effective musical tool, and a powerful dramatic gesture.
About MATA Interval
Started during the 2007-08 season, MATA Interval is a bi-monthly concert series dedicated to small-scale performances by emerging performers and composers based in New York City. Produced in conjunction with Issue Project Room, Interval’s programming is developed and produced by selected participants in MATA’s Curatorial Associate program. The intimate and community-based character of Interval encourages risk taking and allows MATA to showcase a wide array of aesthetics from the city’s vibrant musical culture.
In its first season Interval debuted to great acclaim, selling out nearly every concert event. Highlights included a night of video and electronic works curated by composer Zach Layton, a performance by Flux Quartet curated by cellist Ha-Yang Kim, and a night of electro-acoustic performances by members of the performance collective Symbol, curated by composer Mario Diaz de Leon. The 2008-2009 season features the initial set of programs selected from MATA’s first Interval call for proposals.
The Curatorial Associate Program is a ten-week paid internship that mentors and educates young artists interested in concert production. Each year young composers and performers are selected from a competitive pool of applicants to our open call for proposals, and are invited to work closely with MATA‘’s directors, staff and publicists to curate a series event. The Curatorial Associate Program is one of the few internships that provides real-world experience in the area of producing and curating, distinguishing Interval as the only concert series in New York designed and executed wholly by emerging artists.
MATA recently awarded CA internships for the 2008-09 season to several promising young musicians. They include Judd Greenstein and New Amsterdam Records (Nov. 19), James Moore and Taylor Levine of Dither Guitar Quartet (Jan. 21), Angelica Negron with Transit (Mar. 18).

BIOGRAPHIES
Dither is a quartet of electric guitarists who play an energetic mix of composed music and improvisation, all orchestrated through a galaxy of stomp boxes and effects. Guitarists Simon Kafka, Taylor Levine, Josh Lopes, and James Moore combined forces in 2007 with varied backgrounds in jazz, classical, and popular music. Since their debut concert at John Zorn’s experimental music venue The Stone, the group has been gaining recognition as both an eclectic improvising group and a skilled chamber ensemble.
Dither frequently performs original compositions, arrangements, new commissions, and the works of Fred Frith and Nick Didkovsky. Their performances have brought them to a number of venues including Roulette, Princeton University, the Extensible Electric Guitar Festival at Clark University, and most recently to the Fringe Theater in Hong Kong, where they premiered Samson Young’s multimedia theater piece “Hong Kong Explodes!” Upcoming shows include a showcase of orginal works for the Flea Theater’s “Music with a View” series.
James Moore is a versatile guitarist with many musical personalities. Performing on a wide variety of acoustic and electric guitars, banjos, and home-made instruments, James combines the sensitivity and lyricism from his classical training with a healthy dose of improvisation, theatrics, and experimentation. His chamber performances have brought him to concert halls and experimental music venues across the country, including shows with Bang on a Can, Other Minds, Princeton University, The Electronic Music Foundation, Anti-Social Music, the Merkin Hall Ear Department Series, and The Kitchen. As a soloist, he has been heard at the Chelsea Art museum playing music for amplified banjo and just-intonation steel string guitar, at Northwestern University performing on prepared classical guitar, and with the Astoria Symphony premiering a concerto for the Greek bouzouki. James also performs with several unconventional groups, including William Brittelle’s pop-art-concept ensemble Mohair Time Warp, and Jacob Cooper’s slowed-down pop-tragedy Timberbrit. James’s own projects include the new folk-noise group Oliphant and the mischievous rock band Passenger Fish. In addition to collaborating with gifted musicians and composers from his own generation, James has worked with many of today’s leading artists, including David Lang, Steve Reich, Ingram Marshall, and Meredith Monk. James grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, received degrees in guitar performance from The University of California, Santa Cruz, and the Yale School of Music. He currently resides in Brooklyn, NY.
Taylor Levine is a guitarist in the NYC area. He is the co-founder/co-director of Kyklos, a fantastically raucous sextet and the founder/co-director of Dither. He also performs regularly with Newspeak and Yes is a World. He has worked with Meredith Monk, Theo Bleckmann, Ridge Theater, The New York Soundpainting Orchestra, Newband (A Harry Partch Ensemble), Bang on a Can, including the October 2006 UK production of The Carbon Copy Building, the Obie-winning opera co-composed by Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe, and with the Dutch dance company Emio Greco | PC in a new work which premiered at the Holland Dance Festival in June of 2008. Recent events include five performances of Harry Partch’s Delusion of the Fury with Newband at the New York Japan Society and an Artist In Residence at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art with Emio Greco | PC. His performances have opened him to an international community, which includes the United Kingdom, Italy, Netherlands and France. Taylor also pursues an active role as an educator in the NYC area. He studied at The Manhattan School of Music and The Amsterdam Conservatory. Taylor currently resides in Manhattan.
