Notes:The thirteenth edition of Satellite, featuring live performances by Chatter Blip and Bookworms.
Satellite is a monthly experimental music series curated by Sanna Almajedi.
Chatter Blip is Dafna Naphtali on sound processing, electronics, and voice, and Chuck Bettis on electronics and throat.
Nicholas Dawson (Bookworms) is a Los Angeles-born, New York-based electronic composer.
The new release by Kathleen Supové on Starkland includes Dafna’s work Landmine (2000) originally commissioned for Supové by American Composers Forum. Landmine is an interactive piece for Yamaha Disklavier, pianist, computer improviser, and live audio processing.
“..coaxes fascinating gurgles, rattles, snaps, swoops, echoing swirls.. realtime effects processing.. each live performance of this work a unique sonic event. .. Landmine explores an ever-shifting collection of thoughts, images, energies and moods.” — Joan La Barbara liner notes for Eye to Ivory.
The record release event was 11/24/19 at Spectrum in New York. Supové and Naphtali playing excerpts of the work as well as continuing into an improvisation (quit without saving!) with composer Nick Didkovsky on guitar.
