Friends: on Thursday, October 16, at Judson Church in New York City,
I'll be performing the premiere of my EMF-commissioned piece
"Threshold", for electric guitar and Kyma, as part of the Ear To The
Earth 2008 New York Soundscape festival. Here are the details, and an
excerpt:

More about New York Soundscape:

"Threshold" creates its soundscape through a process called cross-
filtering, which runs on the Kyma system. In cross-filtering, the
tonal characteristics of one sound, called the impulse response, are
imposed on another, called the source, so that the end result is a
sound that contains only the characteristics common to both. In this
case, ambiences recorded in and around New York provide the source,
and my guitar playing provides the impulse response. You hear neither
directly, but only the result of the interaction between me and my
environment.
Recording sources and locations: street traffic during a cab ride from
53rd Street to 89th Street; the lobby of the Museum of Modern Art, and
a floor buffer in a side gallery; the lobby and galleries of the
Guggenheim Museum; a trash compacter in the mid-50s; an air-
conditioning compressor in the mid-50s; an industrial document
shredder in the mid-80s; Olafur Elliason's New York Waterfall #4 at
Pier 35; traffic on the FDR Drive at South Street; nocturnal insects
and thunderstorms in Rockland County.
In addition, I'll be showing my short film LUX while performing a new
live soundtrack consisting of the same NY sound sources used in
Threshold, but this time processed with realtime spectral
transformations to create a unique new ambience.
Those interested may download my original environmental sound source
mix here, to do with as you wish:

Thanks, and I hope to see you there.
