Tarfest Recap- "Research in Performance, Sound, and Dissent"

Cohabitants,

With hopes of transforming each molecule and atom of the Tarfest audience with waves of undulating, random and beaten sounds, this invocation delivered.

To tilt the unbalanced unconscious was the goal. Success measured in unveiling of error for tomorrow to be recalculated.

Thanks to ones that transformed into characters of weight, appreciation for the passive willing to absorb, acknowledgment for those active but not brought to light and special thanks to two extraordinary ladies (and one life stream in utero), willing testifiers, active and transformed.

One peculiar thing. Just before the performance music was turn on in the gallery, played through the p.a. system. By the end it fused with the noise of the performance and gave a nice texture.

This video and sound objects were presented the remaining days of the show.

Wooden form functions as a resonator feedbacking onto itself to produce a wave of undulating texture. Headpiece has a pitch bended analog synth. Piece was and exploration in control symbolism and recontextualization them.

TarFest September 25th

On September 25th DivineBrick Research Sound Projects will have an opportunity to perform at this years Tar Fest reception. The performance will take place at the Korean Cultural Center at 5505 Wilshire Blvd 6p-10p. This is opening night after that the work and a video of the performance will be on display.
In honestly I do not know much of the Tar Fest. It appears it has been occurring since 2003. For more info visit the Tar Fest site here.
It is quite exciting not knowing what to expect of the audience or of the work. This performance has been slowing developing and is at an advance state of transmutation. There is still a lot to learn but it seems all is leading towards a reactionary illuminated state. Or that is the hopes. There will also be a guest performer, a Vishnu channeling, great art peer and contemporary, Vishal Goklani.
The hope is also to have a lot of fun with this one and take it to the next level of hilariously profound absurdity that opens ones eyes and makes one aware of all the strings that pull on ones belief's. So humor us and join us on a eagle trip though a landscape of noisy oceans, fascist peaks, Alchemical rivers of information lies, reflecting pools of self hate, and along the way rest stops of WTF.
