Hear music

With ashes firmly in place on your forehead, you can catch some new music:

The LAB Presents
Sound Rewound: Celebrating 20 Years of Sound Art
Wednesday, February 25, 2004 at 8pm

Pamela Z, Donald Swearingen, and F-Space

PAMELA Z is a composer/performer and audio artist who works primarily with voice, live
electronic processing ,and sampling technology. Her performance works combine operatic bel
canto and experimental extended vocal techniques with found percussion objects, spoken
word, "MAX MSP" on a PowerBook, and sampled concr?te sounds triggered with a MIDI
controller called The BodySynth, which allows her to manipulate sound with physical gestures.
Pamela will perform solo works for voice, electronics and video. She will also join Donald
Swearingen for improvised duets for voice, electronics, and sensor-based instruments.

DONALD SWEARINGEN performs new electronic sound works utilizing an array of sensor-based
control devices connected to a laptop computer. Swearingen has been involved for the last
ten years in the design and construction of new and innovative musical instruments
oriented to the unique environment of electronic music performance.

F-SPACE (Scot Jenerik, Aleph Kali, Ethan Port), is an extreme
experimental pyro-industrial art-punk rock-band project by Mobilization.com founders Scot
Jenerik (23Five.org) and Ethan Port (Savage Republic), with Aleph Kali (Chrome) drumming
with the ferocity of a runaway locomotive. The result conjures an apocalyptic, feral,
destructive trance state implying a catastrophic act of nature, a march through the desert
on the path to war, or an offender's mental state during a crime of passion. This
particular F-SPACE performance promises to be more noise-based than usual.
