Szilard


Szilard is the China-based solo sonic adventure of Jeremy Young, former resident of New York and Montreal where he has performed in a few bands including Sontag Shogun and (The) Slowest Runner (In All The World). A normal night of music for Szilard consists of guitar drones and looped answering-machine tapes among other sound-making objects and instruments, however for this upcoming performance he will be utilizing only sound elements gathered from China in the past and present. Time will cripple and collapse into form with three tools of talking:


-A Chinese handradio freely channeling AM signals.

- Magnetic analog tapes regurgitating the voices and simulacra of today's China

- And live Guzheng mirroring the fabrics of ancient China and offering a wholly melodic counterpart to the layered and rippled soundscapes.


Szilard will be performing both solo and in collaborative communication with Other Veins.


Other Veins:


Jeremy O'Sullivan orbits a celestial body of inter-media and installation art. Since graduating from Elam School in New Zealand his work has found a resting spot somewhere in the pale limits scribed by the process of globalization. Reflecting on notions of constructed time, repetition, distribution of space and the resolution of reality his practice collapses and re-assembles the social and economical systems that underpin contemporary life. Using the debris of consumerism, the plastic scraps, cardboard boxes, tape weeds and vacant advertising dribbles as his compost he sets about formulating an endless echo of meaning undone by its own lack. Sound has always been an integral facet of his constructions often used to project (with the aid of an inner speaker horn fetish) elements of the everyday back on itself. Amplified silence; a 1000 pigeons cooing amongst sine waves.


Now located in Beijing and when not entangled teaching the kids of the 'Aerospace Kindergarten' he plots the course of a film about a women on a quest to the centre of the universe. His forthcoming work at'2 kolegas' will see some of the concepts from that cosmos transposed into the theatre of sound performance. Taking the mantle of a middle man, a sonic go-between agent he will be playing his dogged ally the megaphone. Cast through a scrum of torch beams and amateur camera speckles a space will be constructed of amplifications, feedbacks and de-formed cycles garnished from the other performers and the environment as both unfold. Collaboration with other musicians allows Jeremy to refuse the creation of his own inputs, focusing instead on re-distributing the outputs of those around him. Space is a hole envisioned only by other holes.

Sensorband members of the 2006 Beijing Millennium Monument new media art show, has his monster machine.

• • Edwin Van De • Hyde in 1992, graduated from the Hague, Netherlands, the Royal Academy of Music, studying acoustics. As an independent artist, in voice, space and interaction in the field of arts. It is difficult using traditional music, sound art or media art to define the terms of his current work, because he was always in the old media and on the verge of work on. In this sense, and not just the intermediary of the media, but was re-exploration and definition of. Although the music language being used in the works, but this is not to say that the presentation of works and concert music forms of what is the necessary linkages. The result can be installed, performances, or the environment. In 1995, he was Hague, Netherlands, the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal Institute of the Arts appointment, as an interdisciplinary "image voice/art technology"teachers. Since 2002, he also Leiden University professor of media technology master's degree.

1989 Edwin Van • • • Hyde started by German custom sensors instrument performances. Its music into a strong physical operation, stressed that the new form their own voice. In performances, he was increasingly keen interest in space. He was aware of new possibilities - a space as the instrument to operate, and even further, the human feeling and the audience can be perceived as a "composer"of the instrument. After some years, his works focus shifted to the voice devices, interactive installations and environment. Live performance is still part of the works, but the focus has shifted to the contents of the environment, and reduce the performer's attention.
