MAY 14 - 16, 2009, 8.30PM @ ROULETTE 20 Greene Street, (between Canal & Grand), NEW YORK $15 General Admission, Roulette members FREE $10 Harvestworks members, students, seniors and under 30 “…lustrous sonic landscapes using [her] highly trained vocal cords” -The San Francisco Chronicle “…the naked freedom of jazz improvisation and the alien crunch of digital mechanisms” Pitchfork Media Produced in partnership with Roulette’s Mixology Festival, the 2009 Harvestworks Inside performance series presents “Gestures and Responsive Media”, three concert programs focusing on modern experiments in performance technology. Central to this series is the exciting way that live performers are exploring the use of gesture to control computers and building technological environments for free, improvisatory play. From Pamela Z’s gesture-based vocal experiments to Sha Xin Wei’s phenomenological experiments with movement and media, the presenting artists not only expand the boundaries of traditional performance and instrumentation, but also humanize electronics through creative means. Thursday May 14 - Pamela Z / Elliott Sharp Friday May 15 – Zach Layton / Sha Xin Wei Saturday May 16 – Sawako / Bill Hsu & James Fei About Harvestworks: Harvestworks is a nonprofit Digital Media Arts Center that provides resources for artists to learn digital tools and exhibit experimental work created with digital technologies.
