brenner and bailey's digital circus
both of these shows are going to be a bit different than usual. since last may’s performance of the requiem for a high homicide enclave i have been using a wide variety of digital controllers in performance and this is our first big step in figuring out what works in front of a live audience. both shows are going to be laid back and probably similar to watching a comedian work out new material.
Mosaic (Music of Jon Brenner)
there have been some great online discussions over the break about the “big” issues over at the NetNewMusic site; the purpose of music as art? is music a commodity? what is the role of technology in music?
currently i’m interested in using technology should help us to augment the possibilities of our lives (some call it augmented reality). its been interesting discovering the many examples with musicians exploring live looping, controllerism, mashups etc…
along those lines i’m going to introduce you to my friend jon brenner’s obsessive take on technology. his approach is pretty simple in which he uses everyday items (bicycle and coffee machine) to “assemble” songs piece by piece and like the mosaic on the right using a field recorder and protools.
as you will hear his results are pretty amazing!
enjoy!
