Scott Arford and R.H.Y. Yau (San Francisco)

  'There is nothing else but sound, all that exists is vibration.'
    Zbigniew Karkowski

Hear with your body. This is not about music. This is not about  
performance 
or the performer. The goal is sound and the explicit  translation of sound 
into physical force. The goal is internal and  external realization. It is 
about provoking new modes of perceiving and experiencing one's own body -- 
triggering variable and autonomous psycho-physiological response. It is 
about the total acoustic sense of space -- observing sound to measure the 
capacity of architecture. It is about the phenomenon of resonance or 
sympathetic vibration -- all   things working in one continuum.

civyiu kkliu (San Diego)

>From the series lll-lllllllllll, the first public presentation of sound 
>work 
llllll. 'Source(s) and technique of composition are not specified. The 
work 
is described as intricate, indifferent, forceful.  It is presented with 
images of pieces of ships and water.' The CD of work lll was described in 
Incursion Music Review 029 as 'fill[ing] the space rather nicely with a 
sort 
of tangible sound, sound that you seem to breathe in with your lungs 
(you'll 
really notice its absence when the disc ends; like the shock of turning 
off 
the light in a room, your senses immediately have to grow accustomed to 
the 
change).'

You host is quiet american:  http://www.quietamerican.org.
