Lots of upcoming activities:
Inhabit Host Skull, the sound installation at 707 Penn Gallery, Downtown, is in its last two weeks. Tonight will see the final Host Skull Festival performance with Matt Wellins opening up on solo electronics and The Dock Ellis Perforated Head Society presenting a great film program called MADNESS AND CIVILIZATION. The installation closes on April 15th, so get down there and add you voice/playing to the project. You could be on one of the limited edition 7" lathe cuts that will result from the project.
On April 14, Host Skull will make their Kelly-Strayhorn Theater debut at the Hear/Now Festival, a new festival celebrating new music and odd sounds. Our piece will be MODULES: Utopia/No Place, a timed 15-minute piece exploring whether certain actions will bring pleasing outcomes, resulting in a Utopian vision. We'll see. Tons of Hear/Now info here: http://www.kelly-strayhorn.org/calendar/event/hear-now/
From May on will see Host Skull participating in a East Coast touring in May and a new group of video pieces for an art installation at Assemble Gallery in June. We'll also present a limited run of 15 lathe cut 7"s of the "Fourth River" piece, originally released on Contraphonic in Spring 2011.
