Oops..I forgot to post this earlier, but then, most of you are not in Vienna. In any event, below is a link to The Shelter Project’s Blog — my friend/collaborator Nicolas Dumit Estevez and I put together a conceptual audio piece that was installed in the Projektwerkstatt SOHO, Vienna. The work is related to Nicolas’s project concerning the embodiment of the Infant of Prague.

Come on out between May 21 and June 7 to walk the Avenue and check out the art! Oh, and gimme a holla if you wanna do the stroll!

And, here’s a map of where you will find the art: http://www.bayridgebid.com/Artwalk%202010.htm

Hope to see you on the streets of the Ridge, but until then, below are some stills of the video.

Occult Scenes From Brooklyn from Jonny Farrow on Vimeo.

This is a low-res realization of the video performance from Diapason on 4/28.
—————————————————————————————

Below are documents that represent the working process for creating this piece. The first slide is a rough analysis of the electro-acoustic music I composed for the work. From this document I began to associate pieces of video, potential transitions/juxtapositions and parameter manipulations.

Next, I devised the score as a set of images and instructions to follow during performance.

This slide shows how to prep the patch I designed as my “video instrument.”

This slide shows the video instrument I “played.”

This slide shows the back end of the patch.

Hi Friends:

Follow this link to read a short interview I gave to the good folks at Art in Odd Places regarding my (and NYSAE‘s) participation in last year’s SIGN festival.

Enjoy!

Great night at Diapason last night and big thanks to Michael and Nisi for all their hard work in putting the show together and for letting us throw some light on the walls of Diapason. And, of course, big thanks to Adam for hosting, moderating, and for having the chutzpa to try and tackle this idea of scoring/composition for video performance.

Here’s a couple of photos I managed to squeeze off during the event (really sorry I did not get photos of everyone’s work — all beautiful and fantastic!!!!) :

Hello Friend:

Just writing to let you know about two exciting upcoming shows. The first is the latest edition of the Giant Ear))) show which is being webcast this Sunday evening (4/25) from 7-9 pm on http://www.free103point9.org. It features recordings submitted by the students in my “Wireless Music” class at the Center for Worker Education. And, as always, if you can’t listen to the stream in real-time on Sunday eve, not to worry, you can find the show by accessing the free103point9 archive located here and searching for “Giant Ear))) Favorite Sounds.”

The second show that I am REALLY excited about is coming up this Wednesday evening (4/28) — 8pm at Diapason Gallery in Brooklyn. I will be premiering/performing a new video work that I created while participating in the first Diapason-hosted Video Composition Workshop (VCW). I’ve really been pushing pixels over here in my studio! What makes this show even more exciting is the artists involved. Check out this lineup: Jon Giles (aka Naval Cassady), Nisi Jacobs (w/Michael Schumacher), Philip White, Dan Winckler and Adam Kendall. Wow!

A much more detailed description of the VCW is below. And, the performers are also going to briefly talk about their work and a nice program will be available that describes the workshop and a bit about each performer and their process.

Diapason Gallery is located at:

882 THIRD AVENUE, 32/33 STREETS, 10TH FLOOR BROOKLYN NY 11232

Take the R train to 36th Street in Brooklyn and walk west toward the BQE — the building is bewteen 32nd and 33rd streets just west of the BQE.

It’s going to be a great night and I hope to see you there!!!

Sincerely,

Jonny
