F.R.DAVID is published by de Appel, Amsterdam, and is concerned with the position of reading and writing in the arts.
"This is not new, of course", the ninth issue of F.R.DAVID, finds 'poetry' – the word and the product – NOT sacred, IS mutable, and SHOULD be replaced with "politics", "art", "baking", "film" and "cabinet-making" as one possible means to record life.
Edited by Will Holder, with contributions by Stan Brakhage, Adam Chodzko, Cid Corman, Maya Deren, Robert Duncan, Anja Kirschner / David Panos, Hilary Koob Sassen, Jackson Mac Low, Chris Mann, Charles Olson, Marjorie Perloff, C.H. Sisson, H.G. Widdowson and more

I'll be playing on Wednesday night from 6-8pm at the Clocktower as part of David Linton's ongoing installation. If you haven't already been and experienced it, please come! Long beautiful drones and 4 part cello harmonies to be expected.

With his Bicameral Research Sound & Projection System Linton aims to make vibrational wave induced perceptual energy states manifest by deploying interconnected measures of electric sound & pulsing light in live action with hand manipulated objects in physical (live camera) space. He employs an integrated recursive audio & video feedback system of his own perversely simple design modulated by freehand intervention to deliver vigorous eye, ear, and - sometimes - body shaking realtime audio

David Linton's Bicameral Research Sound & Projection System sound and video installation entitled Cortical Degausser opens for public viewing on Wed Dec 7, 2011 in Studio 4 at the Clocktower Gallery on the 13th floor of 108 Leonard St in downtown Manhattan.

Viewing hours will be from 1:00 to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday and by special weekend appointment through the month until Dec 30th.

I will be presenting my ongoing project, Beacons of Ancestorship- based on John Barton Wolgamot's poem, In Sara, Mencken, Christ and Beethoven there were men and women- at the Serpentine Garden Marathon. Hans Ulrich Obrist will introduce and the marathon takes place over the 15th and 16th. There is an incredible line-up of artists and Peter Zumthor's pavilion is truly amazing.

The performance will happen in the dome pictured below.

A Ballad of Accounting

Titled after a folk song by Ewan McColl and Peggy Seeger, this 40 minute film documents Alex Waterman’s attempt at filtering out the noise of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway with his cello. Divided into 12 parts, charting 4 times of day and 12 different locations. The film follows Waterman as he tries to harmonize and filter the highway, taking on the leviathan structure with insufficient instrumental means. The result is an incredible ‘tuning’ of the broken road: the BQE is swallowed up by the cello and finally reduced to a distant oceanic roar with delicate harmonics riding its crest.

I'll be performing Keeril Maken's solo cello piece from the new CD "TARGET", released on Starkland.
