Dafna Naphtali / Zachary Seldess / Hans Tammen Mon - Fri, March 17 - 21, 10am - 6pm $1200 + membership $75 http://www.harvestworks.org/cms/ From its central SoHo location in New York City, Harvestworks brings together innovative practitioners from all branches of the digital arts, and provides a vital context and catalyst for creativity in the field. For the last thirty years we have offered artists on-site recording studios, programming services, workshops, classes and one-on-one tutorials in emerging technologies supporting the pioneers of computer music with equipment and instruction. As a tool for artists, Max has been a central part of the Harvestworks program for almost 20 years. We offer regularly scheduled year-round classes and workshops on a wide variety of topics relating to Max/MSP and Jitter; as well as our Certificate Program, a flexible course of one-on-one instruction. Now, Harvestworks is offering a full-week, 40hr crash course in the basics of Max/MSP and Jitter, run by veteran Max programmer Dafna Naphtali, Harvestworks engineer and teacher Zachary Seldess, and Harvestworks' Deputy Director Hans Tammen. The course is designed for beginners who want to get a head start with this software package. The course may be especially appealing to artists living outside of New York City who don't have the opportunity to learn Max in their own hometown and who would enjoy a week in New York City. The cost of the course is $1200, plus $75 for the annual Harvestworks membership that is required to take the course. The course is March 17-21, Monday through Friday 10am to 6pm. Working in our computer lab after 6pm can also be arranged. Lecture demonstrations will alternate with practice time, and some of our Max-savvy interns can be available to assist during practice time. Workstations with Max/MSP/Jitter will be available, but it is also recommended that you bring your own laptop. The course will provide lots of practice and sample patches. Students enrolled in Max/MSP/Jitter related classes at Harvestworks are eligible for Cycling 74's educational discount when purchasing the software. The course is limited to 10 students. We will not provide meals or snacks for the course, but can point to lots of cheap dining places in the neighborhood. We also cannot provide accommodations, but can help with posting requests or bringing you in contact with other artists who might be able to help. New York State composers who would like to take this course can be eligible for travel subsidies from the New York State Music Fund. Please call in for details, the funds would be disbursed on a first come, first serve basis. To sign up for the course, or if you have further questions, please call Hans Tammen at 212-431-1130 ext 13, or go to our webstore MAX CRASH COURSE OUTLINE: Day 1 - The Basics: Objects vs. messages vs. comments; ordering of operations; math in Max; scaling and mapping ranges of numbers; playing sound files. Day 2 - Basics of modular programming; live audio input; recording sound files; simple data storage. Day 3 - Controlled chaos; useful GUI objects; more data storage; basics of synthesis. Day 4: Interfacing with the outside world. Overview of MIDI, the HI object (game controllers), Wii controller, the Harvestworks Sensor Station, using a Wacom tablet. Wireless Miditron. Data storage. Day 5: Introduction to Jitter: Jitter matrix; basic matrix processing; playing and basic manipulation of QuickTime movies; basics of Open GL. INSTRUCTOR BIOS: DAFNA NAPHTALI has been a Max teacher and programmer at Harvestworks since 1995. She earned a degree in Music Technology at NYU. She was Chief Engineer of the NYU Music Technology Studios until 1998, and has taught Max there as an adjunct instructor since 1996. Naphtali is also an academic advisor for both undergraduate and graduate students in NYU's Music Technology program. She was a programmer for two years for many artists and her own projects at multi-channel sound gallery Engine 27. As a composer, writing custom Max/MSP programs since 1992 has enabled her to perform and compose using her laptop-based noise/audio processing “instrument” to alter the sound of her singing, vocalisms, personalized recordings as well as the sound of any musician playing with her. She has received commissions and awards from New York Foundation for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, Meet the Composer, Experimental TV Center, American Composers Forum, Brecht Forum, and has held residencies at STEIM (Holland), Music OMI and iEAR at Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute. http://www.dafna.info ZACHARY SELDESS currently works at Harvestworks as a resident Programmer/Teacher, and at Brooklyn College CUNY as adjunct faculty. He also works at The CUNY Graduate Center’s New media Lab creating interactive virtual sound environments in 3D Game Space using the Torque Game Engine and Max/MSP. He is currently pursuing a PhD in composition at The Graduate Center CUNY where his primary teachers are Amnon Wolman and Morton Subotnick. Previously he worked as a performer, composer, private teacher and adjunct professor at Wilbur Wright College and Harold Washington College in Chicago. As a composer, Zachary has collaborated with artists in many mediums including theater, dance, film, and poetry. He spends much of his time these days creating interactive media artwork, particularly within the Max/MSP/Jitter programming environment. Programming projects include work with Jane Rigler on Manhattan New Music Project's "Music Cre8tor", a sensor/software music-creating interface for developmentally challenged children. http://www.zacharyseldess.com/ HANS TAMMEN is currently Deputy Director at Harvestworks, and is responsible for the oversight of all projects related to Max/MSP/Jitter and Physical Computing, as well as managing the education program and the studios. In this position he encounters the projects of approx. 250 clients, students and Artist In Residence per year. After an initial degree in Adult Education in 1988 he taught as an adjunct at Kassel University, and as part of his works as a union technology consultant from 1992 to 2000 he held about 120 one to five-day seminars using modern seminar techniques like metaplan, role-plays, and others. As a composer/guitarist he is best known for his "Endangered Guitar" works, interfacing his guitar with Max/MSP. Signal To Noise called his works "...a killer tour de force of post-everything guitar damage", All Music Guide recommended him: "...clearly one of the best experimental guitarists to come forward during the 1990s." http://www.tammen.org

Dear all,

First of all... 'Big thank you!!' for those who managed to come down
to witness and became a part of my experiments at The Tank, last
Thursday!
It was quite funny and interesting experiments with some mishaps and
unexpected, but I got very good directions and ideas which would help
develop the pieces for the future. They will keep growing (Pls. allow
me to keep you updated;) haha~!!

raz mesinai + amir ziv

This evening Mesinai will premier several exciting new works for
percussion and electronics featuring the versatile drummer Ches Smith
among others TBA.

RAZ MESINAI

Composer and multi instrumentalist Raz Mesinai was born in Jerusalem
in 1973. His first two decades were spent in frequent transit between
Jerusalem and New York City, where he became immersed in both the
worlds of traditional Middle Eastern music, and the dub and hip-hop
scenes of the eighties and earlynineties in New York City. Mesinai's
electronic and electro-acoustic music exists at the crossroads of
composition, sound design and modern studio production. Raz was a
featured artist in the "Next, Next Wave" festival of the Brooklyn
Academy of Music, and opened for Nubian master musician Hamza El Din
at Lincoln Center, a personal highlight. Raz has received commissions
from the Lincoln Center Festival in both 2000 and 2001, and In 2004,
following his developing interest in visual narrative and storytelling
in music, Mesinai was a Fellow at the Sundance Composer's Lab. This
year Mesinai was commissioned to compose works for Ethel, Maya Beiser,
VIA, and The Kronos Quartet.

the "live" electronica scenes. His work with his band Droid featuring
the work of Miles' musical director/producer/synthesist - Adam
Holzman, bassists Tim LeFebvre and Yossi Fine and trumpeter Jordan
McLean, produced some of NYC's most on-the-edge "live" electronica.
Amir's other band that he leads is KOTKOT, featuring percussionist to
the stars Cyro Baptista, NYC's "down-town" guitar-God Marc Ribot and
bassist Shahzad Ismaily. Notable sideman credits such as Trey
Anastasio, Cibo Matto, Beat The Donkey and Graham Haynes and his
educator status has brought recent demand for his musical skills the
world over.

and has professionally performed on drums and percussion for almost
nine years. Steve teaches private instruction and is a facilitator of
the TRAP (The Rhythmic Arts Project) program. He has performed for

Returns to Issue Project Room with
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE'S NO EXIT
Directed by Royston Coppenger
With Karl Greenberg, Claire Beckman*, Chris-Lindsay-Abaire*, Damon
Pooser* and Alvin Hippolyte
*indicates members of actors equity association.

Director's note:
No Exit was first performed at the Vieux-Colombier in Paris in May
1944, just a few months before the city was liberated by the Allies.
Perhaps the experience of living in occupied France influenced
Sartre's portrait of the doomed trio locked in an eternal prison, with
nothing to do but tear each other down. Sartre's glum antihero Garcin
is often seen as a kind of wry self-portrait of the author, filled
with a mixture of grandiose desire and bitter self-contempt. The women
who surround him, Estelle and Inez, are themselves mutually exclusive
contradictions: Estelle eternally addicted to love and romance, Inez
eternally addicted to destroy what she can't possess. In the play
Sartre shows us that imprisonment isn't created by the prison itself;
it's what you do with the boundaries you're given. Or, to quote the
play's most famous line, "Hell is other people".

Y!Live is the service like mySpace + youTube + online broadcasting.

i am looking for the artists who want to introduce their works, live
shows and/or studios+ the guest broadcasters (i am thinking the
account becomes the share blog in future.)
i will record all the recordings for my future art works and/or
possibility of DVD release. so feel free to email me, if you are
interested in.

also, the service is still experimental phase. so the team is looking
for your bug reports and feedbacks. (actually so far from my
experiences, the server is sometime too slow. )

Please note
the deadline is earlier this year (March 31st.)  If you could
publicize,
disseminate, and promote this call as far and wide as you can that

Thanks!


The Following is the Call for Works for the 60x60 project in 2008

Continuing to promote contemporary composer and their works, Vox Novus
is
inviting composers to submit recorded works 60 seconds or less in
length to
included in its sixth annual 60x60 project. 60 compositions will be
selected
to be played continuously in a one-hour concert. The 60x60 concert
season
will begin with a debut in New York City and continue throughout the
world
in venues to be announced. Please submit recording(s) of work and
submission
form post marked before March 31st, 2008 to:

60x60
c/o Robert Voisey
Radio City Station
P.O. Box 1607
New York, New York
10101 USA

More information can be found at:
http://www.voxnovus.com/60x60/Call.htm
http://www.voxnovus.com/60x60.htm

During the concert each of the 60 pieces selected will begin precisely
at
the beginning of the minute, this will mark the end of one piece and
the
beginning of another. There will be no pause between the pieces. Works
may
be less than 60 seconds in length, but may not exceed 60 seconds.
Works
selected that are less than 60 seconds long will be "padded" with
silence
either before, after, or surrounding the composition. Please note that
the
total duration of the work including silence may NOT exceed sixty
seconds.

The 60x60 project's definition of a record work is as follows: any
work
created as a musical composition which is captured on recorded media,
which
does not require live performers for its production in broadcast at
concert
halls, radio, multi-media, etc. Its creation can include but not
limited to
acoustic instruments, voice, environmental sources, and computer
(Sampling,
MIDI, C Sound, ProTools, etc.)

Acoustic compositions should be submitted with the understanding that
it is
their recording that is of prime importance and is what will be used
to
determine its selection. Scores of works are strongly discouraged and
will
not be used in the selection process.

60x60 is a project of "signature works" and short works created
specifically
for the 60x60 project. Excerpts of larger works are strongly
discouraged.
Works generated from procedures (i.e. mathematical matrices,
organizational
systems, or computer programs,) remixed works, or themes and motives
recomposed from other of the composer's own work are acceptable.

The call is open to composers of any nationality, age, or career
stage.
Works submitted must not have been previously performed or
broadcasted.
Compact Discs that include the audio submission must be labeled with
the
composer's name and the title of the work. The submission form must be
sent
at the same time with the submitted work. Submission form must contain
the
composer's name, address, email, phone number, composition title,
composition length, and track position on the compact disc.
Biographies and
program notes may be included on a separate sheet, but must be typed
and
each may be no longer than 100 words in length.

Multiple works may be submitted. Each work must be noted on the
submission
form(s) and clearly indicated on the CD. Do Not send originals! No
works
will be returned, and may be performed in subsequent performances
after the
debut concert. All submissions must be postmarked by March 31, 2008.
Selected works will be announced on August 1st, 2008. Submission of
the
work(s) on compact disc must be accompanied by the submission form and
sent
to:
