A call to Boston Loopers - performance space @ Zeitgeist Gallery

[Elio DeLuca <elio@telepathyrecords.com>]

Hello, all. Below is the official announcement for the new music series
that I will be curating, beginning in February, at the Zeitgeist Gallery
in Cambridge, MA. Being a looper myself, I'd like to invite all who desire
a live looping performance opportunity to read the following, and contact
me if you are interested in participating. Focusing on "new music," in my
opinion, would not be complete without the prescence of the looping
community. I want to provide an opportunity for audiences to be exposed to
loop-based music in all its forms, and I hope that this series can be a
space to benefit the growth and development of the LD community. Thanks.

Beginning February 3rd, 2002, and continuing on the first and third Sunday
of every month, Telepathy Records is proud to announce a series of new
sounds at the Zeitgeist Gallery, Cambridge MA, made possible through the
formation of a Telepathy-sponsored collective named a.i.m. (advanced idea
mechanics). This "freeform collective" will be dedicated solely to the
furthering of new art, in a variety of media, and with a respectful
disregard for the pigeonholing that accompanies most stylistic labeling.

a.i.m is an effort toward the advancement of the new music of a new
century. Not a record label, not a production company, not an agency or
profit-based cooperative, a.i.m. is a non-formalized collaborative effort
among artists, operating as a subsidiary of Telepathy Records, both
overseen by Elio DeLuca.

Through the release of recordings and the staging & promotion of live
events, a.i.m. strives to champion the cutting edge in sonic arts,
regardless of style, genre or form. Utilizing the resources of Telepathy
Records, and echoing the label's commitment to both the success of
independent music and the deconstruction of the stagnant commercial
mainstream, the goal of a.i.m. is to promote the work of a wide variety of
sonic artists. Live performances (in all possible spaces), compilations of
new music and the release of albums by members of tomorrow's avant-garde,
sonic installations, and mixed media events all fall within a.i.m.'s
reach.

Starting in February, a.i.m. will curate a concert series, entitled "The
Sketchpad," to be held at the Zeitgeist Gallery, in Cambridge, MA.  The
series will feature new sounds in a wide array of styles, with a distinct
focus on the art of improvisation, and favoring the forms of new music
least heard at other venues (noise, ambient, IDM, loop-based music, etc).
"The pad" will occur regularly on the first and third Sunday of each
month, with showtime at 8 PM and a cover charge of $6 (both apt to change
for to-be-announced "special events").

The Zeitgeist Gallery, located at 312 Broadway in Cambridge (just outside
of Central Square), has long been heralded as the last gasp of loft-type
performances spaces in the Boston area, maintaining both a high profile in
city culture and a noble dedication to marginalized art forms. The Gallery
was awarded "Best Art Gallery" in the 2001 Reader's Poll in the Boston
Phoenix. For more info, check out: http://www.zeitgeist-gallery.org

Telepathy Records, near to completing its second year of operation,
defines itself as a "freeform" independent label, dedicated to allowing
the artist's voice to be heard while still penetrating the commercial
mainstream of "independent" music, in genres ranging from jazz to
electronica to rock n' roll. Telepathy is unique in the capacity to which
it involves its artists in every stage of record production and
distribution, seeking to release product that is as whole-formed as the
music contained within it. The Telepathy catalog includes releases from
Pheeroan akLaff & Michael Cain, Danielle Geihs Band, Elio DeLuca, and Pete
Robbins. Upcoming releases in 2002 include albums from No Sale Value,
Twisted Hoedown, and Ellipsis. For more info, visit telepathyrecords.com
