La Monte Young, Marian Zazeela: Sound and Light Environment, continuing installation.
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Young and Zazeela characterize the Sound and Light Environment as "a time installation measured by a setting of continuous frequencies in sound and light." In the light environment Marian Zazeela presents four works, two environmental: Imagic Light and Magenta Day, Magenta Night, in installations specifically designed for the site; and two sculptural: the neon work, Dream House Variation I, and the wall sculpture, Ruine Window 1992 from her series, Still Light. In the environment Imagic Light, Zazeela projects pairs of colored lights on mobile forms to create seemingly three-dimensional colored shadows in a luminous field. More

JB Floyd: New Music for the Yamaha Disklavier™ and Raphael Mostel: intimate, acoustic.
For many years, JB Floyd has been exploring the myriad possibilities of the Yamaha Disklavier™ — the modern answer to the player piano — and combining it with both Computer Assisted Virtual Instruments and live, acoustic performers. Floyd will premiere a new setting of Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore’s poem "In Crossing The Busy Street," featuring baritone Thomas Buckner, plus other new compositions and improvisations. Also joining Floyd for this concert will be pianist Liana Pailodze, a rising star on the music scene from University of Miami. “Yamaha artist James Robert Floyd personifies the Renaissance man. He is a teacher, performer and composer who has written in almost every musical genre.” — yamaha.com. Disklavier™ provided by Yamaha Artist Services.
Raphael Mostel will present a rare performance of intimate solo works, featuring previews of his Letter to Benoit Mandelbrot and his Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Black Bela. “The music of Raphael Mostel, one of New York’s most original composers, has always evoked the subtle and continuous sounds of nature: nocturnal insects, the wind, the distant howling of wolves, the music of the spheres, cosmic dramas.” — Kyle Gann, The New York Times

Harvestworks is pleased to present Amorgos, a new multi-channel sound work by 2008 Harvestworks Van Lier Fellow Laura Vitale. Amorgos is a duet of water and cello in a constructed multi-channel acoustic environment. Through cellist Ethan Philbrick's collaboration with Vitale's prepared sounds of water, they create a world that is as uncanny and eerie as it is poetic. The listener is invited to enter into an exploratory sound environment, to rest in the nebulous area between music and sound, rhythm and water.

“Music, under your Feet” by Rolf Julius.
Saturdays, November 22-December 20, 2-8 p.m.
Opening Reception: Saturday, November 22, 6-8 p.m.
"One should bend down more often to pick up the tones lying around everywhere. In Manhattan, I saw and heard the really huge and thick and loud tones, the brown and the violet, but also the little quiet ones between the cracks in the walls, under the bridges, and among the chirping crickets on Roosevelt Island." I noticed this in 1984 during my stay at PS-1 in Queens. Now I like to bring some of these small sounds into the gallery, sounds, I picked up during many years, together with some new visual ones.”

Please join us for "Rapid Response." Held on the last Tuesday of each month, it is an open and undetermined platform for quick response to events that have taken place over the last thirty days. "I Need My Space": Visual and performance artist Karen Finley will lead this group meeting, featuring invited and volunteer testimonials sharing our emotional responses to the election and the various needs for space--physical, social, cultural and psychological--that it exposed. How do our national political relationships inform or dialogue with the workplace, family, community and friends? How do the race, gender, class and identity issues raised in the campaign continue to be discussed? Finley will also address the transformation of the memory of Chicago's Grant Park (and the 1968 Democratic Convention) from a site of pain and loss into one of celebration and unity on November 4th, as well as legacies of Vietnam War protests and the Civil Rights Movement embodied in that space. Audience participation in the meeting is encouraged. "I Need My Space" will last approximately one hour, with the hope of providing a therapeutic and supportive group environment for those needing space in their own lives. RSVP: gdb2106@columbia.edu. Free and open to the public.

Jonny Farrow, New York Society for Acoustic Ecology
“Over the River and Through the Woods…” A reminiscence? An interrogation of the holiday industry? A meditation on rivers and woods? To grandmother’s house we go? Re-making the holidays as you would like them to be as an adult? Perhaps none of these questions will be answered. But is it possible to smell gingerbread cookies while listening to a webcast? Hosted by New York Society for Acoustic Ecology co-chair Jonny Farrow, this show will focus on home recordings, holiday songs, and dusty memories from the shelves of holidays past. So, put on your pj’s, pour yourself a hot apple cider and curl up next to your laptop.
