BIOS:
TOM HAMILTON has been composing and performing for over 40 years, and his work with electronic music originated in the late-60s era of analog synthesis. Hamilton often explores the interaction of many simultaneous layers of activity, prompting the use of “present-time listening” on the part of both performer and listener.
An active participant in New York’s new music scene, Hamilton was the co-director of the 2004 Sounds Like Now festival, and he has co-produced the Cooler in the Shade/Warmer by the Stove new music series since 1993. He is a longtime member of composer Robert Ashley’s touring opera ensemble. His audio production can be found in over 50 CD releases of new and experimental music, including recordings by Muhal Richard Abrams, David Behrman, Thomas Buckner, Alvin Lucier, Roscoe Mitchell, and “Blue” Gene Tyranny.
Tom Hamilton’s sound installations have been presented in New York at Diapason, Studio Five Beekman, the 479 Gallery and Experimental Intermedia, and elsewhere at CCNOA (Brussels) The St. Louis Art Museum, CalArts (Valencia, CA), the Sound Symposium festival (St. John’s NF), Woodland Pattern Book Center (Milwaukee) and the Dorsch Gallery (Miami).
Doug Theriault is an artist based in Portland, Oregon. His work is concerned with the development of live electronic music sys
Don't know if we've said it yet but I really really do love what you're doing over there. Reminds me of why this is my favourite city in America. Thanks.
brandon, thanx for the lead. recorded machines near the a.c.m.e this afternoon with a lo-fi tape recorder. i will try to find room for it later. soap operas are on now. also tried speeding up the entire composition to about two seconds length. that didn't work out so well....
tonight I started creating a song using clipping, feedback and other "noises" probably wouldnt have wanted to play with it if it werent for the july show I dropped into, thanks for putting it on.
