Heather Elle

Once described as being able to create a “handsomely twisted deconstruction of the hedonistic-psyche“ by So Young Magazine, Heather Elle (Flossing/Weeping Icon) will be combining tools and tactics from both their projects to further explore the relationships between rhythm, noise, and darker subconscious thought. Expect to hear a combination of relentless industrial beats, eccentric found sounds, and strange vocal experiments.

She works with field recordings, ambient noise and environmental sounds combined layered over each other to create ambient compositions. Video work includes single and multiple channel videos and projections as installations and ephemeral experiences.

Spell of Sound is a celebration of journeys that take one’s full attention away from things that don’t matter, and uses the attention as a vehicle for opening doors to personal realities through the translation of emotional geometries into sound and symbols. Each artist in Spell of Sound has a unique door to offer, which each member of the audience chooses to enter with her or his attention provided. Come with us as we give our attention as keys to open the doors that each artist creates with a mix of experimental modular and cultural rhythms, and eccentric visuals that express part of each artists psyche.

Omniformer

St. Luke’s School Playground, Youngstown, Ohio (Autumn, 1980)–A little boy lags behind the sounds of a school bell ringing, and children running back to class at the end of lunch recess. An “inner” voice on the playground says “WHO AM I?”, and as a deer in headlights, Christian Lewis Lyon begins his quest to discover who “He” is.

Christian Lewis Lyon was born in 1975, in Youngstown, Ohio. His collections are now attracting art buyers interested in lines and expressive color, subjective expression, and concepts such as “manifestation”, the nature of personal reality, and psychic/inner senses. Lyon is concerned with spontaneity and its divine expression and has a Masters degree in Technical & Scientific Communication from Miami University where he also studied Fine Art and Psychology. Lyon has been studying life as idea construction since age five. Lyon also creates using the medium of sound under the alias of Omniformer

In OBJECT IMPERMANENCE things are temporary, subject to decay, change, or disappearance. They are not fixed or eternal, but constantly shifting, evolving, or eventually fading away. The evening features four experimental guitarists who have reconsidered the guitar in their own idiosyncratic ways. JEREMY SLATER's sound work consists of field recordings as a base to create compositions with guitar, objects, ambient noise, environmental sound, and other instruments. HANS TAMMEN explores overtones and noises that are emerging from pianos, guitars and other stringed instruments affected by vibrations from transducers. NICK DIDKOVSKY's work joins the furious energy of rock with intricate composition, some of which finds its origins in rich software systems of his own design. REG BLOOR delves deep into frenetic, atonal, dissonant, and angular screechscapes.This event will also mark the premiere of her new music video, VIEWER DISCRETION IS NOT ADVISED, directed by Mark Borchardt.

Inoue is a Tokyo-born, Berlin-based new media artist, techno producer, and stage director. Raised in a Buddhist temple, he was influenced by both Buddhist philosophy and the vibrant music scene of Roppongi.

In 2018, Inoue moved to Berlin, where he began releasing techno music and quickly established himself in the European electronic music scene. His 2019 Wall EP reached the top 10 on Beatport. He has since expanded his work to include audiovisual performances, installations, and exhibitions. His art often explores the parallels between fractal structures and the Buddhist concept of reincarnation.

Exhibition " Inside VAULT SEVEN "closing performance:

"GASLIGHT TV - The New Opera" directed by TR7

As George Orwell's 1984 & Brave new world predictions of how the future manipulation of humanity would look like, GASLIGHT TV sheds light on the matrix of today's state of the Republic.

More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within politics and the ways in which they are manipulated. The story takes place in an imagined future, the year 1984, when much of the world has fallen victim to perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and propaganda.

The players:

Mark Dilks, Wes Trexler as Bushwick Buck, TR7 as Benjamin Banneker the Seventh

Scenes /movements:

1. Morphological Phase1984

2. What's Happening Jayne Cortez?

3. Caged Domestic the Prequel ...the Proposition

4. The Whistleblowers Awards nominees are.....

Chaka Benson

Chaka Benson grew up on a diverse diet of Philly music ranging from Schooly D to Sun Ra. The Philly streets thrum and echo with improvisation and DIY spirit. This simple aesthetic informs his music and artistic approach. The sound from his modular synthesizer is ever-evolving, changing over time, layered, a challenge to pin down and always rewarded! His legendary live performances are well known on the experimental electronic music scene. Each performance has a new patch specially prepared for it and a new improvised set is performed each time. https://cmbperformance.blogspot.com/?m=0

Blood is the Music of Life <> Vampÿates {{DJs Richard Sylvårnes & Bradley Erøs}} <> with Guest Guitarist Reg Bloor

"just some hints at 'the mysterious mixed blood or the sanguine stew of our sources', both stolen & unburied (animal, mineral, vegetable & human, flesh ~ voices & sonic bites, spanning centuries of living creatures, from the exotic to the rare, screams & beastly howls, cries of murder & raging indictments, ritual & revolt, hypnotic hymns & piercing rants, savage litanies & soothing incantations, woven in a rhythm bed of loopy pulses & deeply entrancing throbs, the Vampÿrates' bloody mixology of music is a dense dark spell of layers, both organic & electronic, stirring & unnerving, that may send chills up your spine as you prepare yourself for the double-fanged pierce of pleasure."

This will be ALL ANALOG PROJECTION & the collectors will COME IN PERSON with A FILM PRINT, rare gems, from the Mushroom Archive, this de-centralized collection of the collective analog print archive, All screened in 16mm, Super8 or Regular 8mm.

We will show each film one at a time on a single screen, (tho we may play around with some films), with its own soundtrack, unless it's silent & we might add a live or (other, alternative) musical soundtrack.

There will be a small audience of participants and viewers on the rooftop at Synesthesia in Bushwick. Considering that their rooftop is rather large and open, and the total attendance would be small, social distancing is possible and essential, and masks are mandatory. The new Mushroom Archive zine will also be available.
& yes, this falls exactly on what would actually be, or would have been, my mother's 100th birthday!
So it is a gathering of film nuts & a lovely celebration to boot! <> ßradley ∑ros

●Kristin Anderson
As a multidisciplinary conceptual artist, communication of the underlying concept is of primary importance, and media, space and presentation are selected exclusively per project. My works create an oscillation between the role of the image and the role of the viewer. The intention is to make the viewer aware of their thoughts on the subject, and of their reaction to the awareness, ideally putting them in a state of mind to contemplate both. Sometimes I use novelty to attract the viewer and then draw them into a deeper experience and message. New technologies easily provide that novelty. Recurring themes include the formation of and awareness of identity, broader human universals, and my personal epiphanies as I try to understand and negotiate the specific physical, familial, societal and spiritual influences which encase my life on earth.

●M/S/T
M/S/T is the NYC based avant-garde jazz trio of drummer Mason Macias, saxophonist/flautist Craig Schenker, and drummer John Thayer. They formed in 2017 (after previously performing with Marnie Stern, Matana Roberts, and Drunken Sufis) and recorded their debut album, a collage of improvisations colored with vintage tape echoes and reverbs, at Thump Studios in Brooklyn. The two sides of the resulting cassette show the sound of a group that has found it’s collective voice. Spontaneous, playful, and aware; this is reactionary music that evolves as a dialog between players through conversational percussion and echoes of European folk melodies.
