Hallo allerseits,
als einer der beteiligten Musiker habe ich das Vergnügen, Euch im Namen des Organisators -- Tanner Menard -- diese Info zu überbringen. Ich glaube zwar nicht, daß sich hier jemand auf den Weg nach New Orleans machen wird (hä-hä), aber da derzeit auch ein Livestream in Planung ist, empfiehlt es sich, diesen Termin im Hinterkopf zu halten. Hier etwas mehr Info:
"Tanner Menard, Antenna Gallery and Experimedia Records
presents Sommeil: Concert for Sleep, an international collaborative
experiment.
Sommeil will be an all-night event beginning at 10:00 pm on Saturday,
April 11th, and ending on Sunday, April 12th, at 7:00 am. Participants
are asked to slowly fall asleep while live ambient and environmental
music is performed through the night by Tanner Menard.
Sommeil: Concert for Sleep will be Menard ’s reinterpretation of
the sleep oncert experiment, first created by Robert Rich in 1982
and will be presented at the Antenna Gallery, 3161 Burgundy
St., New Orleans, LA 70117, in he heart of the St Claude Arts
District. The concert will be realized with Rich ’s permission and
guidance. Sleep concerts are all-night events in which the audience
is asked to attend the concert with a sleeping bag and pillow
and to fall asleep while slowly unfolding sonic texture evolves
over he course of the night and into the morning. People attending
the event are asked to be willing to sleep during the event or
at least to remain silent during the course of the nine hour experience.
Not merely a recreation of Rich ’s original idea, Sommeil is
a conceptual, global remix of a performance type that addresses
one of the most basic functionalities of ambient and environmental sound;
music by which to sleep.
In the spirit of remix and the Creative Commons movement, Me-
nard, Louisiana native, has compiled submissions of audio material for the
concert from nearly seventy artists across the globe.
These artists answered a call for submissions marketed online by
Experimedia Records which asked for music and field recordings
to be used, remixed and mashed up during this nocturnal event.
Submissions include drones, found sound, recordings of natural
and unnatural environments and synthetic music created on synthesizers
and computers. Submitters have included radio scientists, geologists, psychologists,
sound artists, musicians, composers, installation artists as well as several well-known
figures in the ambient music scene. During the course of the evening,
Menard will remix these sleep submissions into a constantly evolving
sonic texture that will lull the audience to sleep. Quad-channel
surround sound system will be provided by Piety St Studios for
maximum sonic enhancement of the sleep space and ambient
video lighting will be provided in the form of a video loop by the
internationally acclaimed VJ HIKA. Experimedia Records has
generously agreed to release multiple out takes from this concert
on its internet label under a free Creative Commons license.
Sommeil: Concert for Sleep will be nine hours of uninterrupted
music beginning at 10:00 pm on Saturday April 11th and ending
at 7:00 am on Sunday April 12th at Antenna Gallery . Tickets to
the evening event will be $15 and will include a light breakfast
at waking time. During the day of April 11th Antenna Gallery
will be opening the space to allow people who do not wish to
sleep through the night to hear the original submissions from the
international community of artists. We are asking $5 per hour to
experience the meditative environment of the sleep space and $3
per half an hour from noon to 9:00 pm on Saturday April 11th.
At 6 pm we will also be participating in the St Claude Gallery
Opening that falls on the second Saturday of each month. All
proceeds will benefit Antenna Gallery."
