Just arrived in Los Angeles where I will present Labyrinthitis at David Wilson's most fabulous and amazing creation; the Museum of Jurassic Technology. Here I am also living in a beautiful little trailer behind the museum. (I will present Labyrinthitis two times on Saturday. Ticket sale and reservation is now closed - sold out)
In New York City last week I performed at John Zorn's The Stone which was curated by JG Thirlwell - here I decided to record and layer the sound of the space, similar to what I did in Chernobyl. The frequencies / resonance unfolding from this little room in the middle of New York City were very different from the ones I've evoked from other more quiet rooms. It's like if the sound of each room is speaking, telling a story about itself. From The Stone appeared very fast interference beats in an almost stressful manner - sounds from cars and people swearing on the streets outside which manifested themselves into tones which almost sounded like a jazz kind of saxophone. It indeed sounded very much like my own interpretation of a New York ambience. On the same evening Lary 7 presented an amazing piece with 35 mm projectors controlled by a sewing machine, which created psychedelic dots, scratches and scratchy colours.
Mr. Thirlwell's curated month at The Stone also featured other amazing acts, as for example Tony Conrad who I also had the pleasure experiencing performing a mind blowing concert. First two pieces were short, sliding on a string instrument while singing/speaking about bringing music back to basics and at issue. Followed by a long violin piece.
Yesterday I was interviewed at Fabio's fabulous radio station in New Jersey - WFMU -

I also presented Labyrinthitis at Suzanne Fiol's Issue Project Room in NYC - over its amazing 16-channel sound system.
