SUMMARY:Robert Beatty • John Wiese/Mitchell Brown • Smokey Emery
DESCRIPTION:live in concert \nROBERT BEATTY\nJOHN WIESE / MITCHELL BROWN\nSMOKEY EMERY \ndonate eight\n_ _ _ _ _ _ _ \nRobert Beatty (Lexington\, Kentucky) \nConcurrent to crushing noise-rock norms and jockeying shattered electronics in Hair Police\, Robert Beatty has – over a decade and a half – also cut a solo path of pulses and tricks under the guise of Three Legged Race. These underground sounds have been spooled by tape labels crucial to their times: Gods of Tundra\, Night People\, NNA\, and Vitrine. More frequent live appearances and Beatty’s Soundtracks for Takeshi Murata have brought his sounds to more ears and his name to more lips. An apparent insistence on cassette and vinyl for physical releases hint at the technology-stretch at play in all of his work. Like the globally recognizable album art Beatty has created for others\, his own electro-sonics blur the line between analog artifact and digital method. And this ambiguity is intrinsic to his era-less weirdness: mystery mindscapes that can evoke The Residents or alternately offer a fully twisted take on contempo fake-techno. This is Beatty’s first show in Los Angeles in three years and his first in town since shedding the Three Legged Race moniker for live performances in favor of his own name. \nJohn Wiese / Mitchell Brown \nCuts and folds and layers of sound; abstractions that suggest referent but defy recognition. Words fail\, but still these here do loosely approximate audio aspects of two perennial figures of experimental music activity in Los Angeles. Mitchell Brown’s seemingly ubiquitous presence performing live has brought his analog alchemies and head expansion techniques to the front of the class as Professor Cantaloupe and as a next-gen LAFMS exponent. John Wiese’s digital incisions and perpetual bricolage have laid a concrète path from the extremities of the American underground\, around the earth\, and to the studios of INA-GRM. Duo collaborations are core to each of these system-riggers\, and – of course – they are no strangers: the Superstitious cut on Wiese’s mid-career chronicle Deviate from Balance documents an early aughts meeting between the two\, and they have collabed live with each other in various Spacek ensembles and Smegma connected jams. Yet\, the two haven’t paired up for a live action in nearly a dozen years. Come hear the air tear. \nSmokey Emery \nBarely within sight\, darkness swallows a shadow at the far end of a long corridor\, leaving only a cascade of echoes. Such are the dank dreamstate atmospherics conjured by Smokey Emery\, a long running project of Houston-born artist Daniel Hipólito. An itinerant accumulator of sound\, he coaxes a mix of soundscape fragments and material decay from prepared tape loops snaking through a apparatus of vintage dictaphone\, reel-to-reel\, and cassette decks. Synthesis and rhythm also work their way into the flow\, as has been captured on recent releases on Holodeck and Chondritic Sound. With Hipólito’s re-location to Los Angeles from Texas\, Smokey Emery has begun to be more readily visible diffusing sound into rooms around town.

SUMMARY:Keywords for Radicals: L.A. Launch and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:In Keywords (1976)\, Raymond Williams devised a “vocabulary” of culture and society that reflected the vast social transformations marking the post-war period. Following Williams\, Keywords for Radicals asks: what vocabulary might illuminate the social transformations marking our own contested present? How do these words shape the political imaginary of today’s radical left? \nBringing together the insights of dozens of scholars and committed troublemakers\, Keywords for Radicals constellates a vocabulary of contested words that shape today’s political landscape. More than a glossary\, Keywords for Radicals makes clear that contests over word usage and meaning are themselves meaningful. By forcing words to reveal the underlying social contradictions they symptomatically express\, the contributors to this volume provide an important new vantage on the terrain—and the stakes—of contemporary struggle. \nJoin special guest Robin D.G. Kelley and Keywords for Radicals editor Clare O’Connor to explore the meaning and significance of the worlds within our words! \nROBIN D.G. KELLEY is is the Gary B. Nash Professor of American History at UCLA. His research has explored the history of social movements in the U.S.\, the African Diaspora\, and Africa; black intellectuals; music; visual culture; contemporary urban studies; poverty studies and ethnography; colonialism/imperialism; organized labor; constructions of race; Surrealism\, Marxism\, nationalism\, among other things. \nCLARE O’CONNOR is a contributing editor of Keywords for Radicals and a doctoral student in Communication at USC. She is former Coordinator of the Public Interest Research Group (Toronto) and cofounder of the activist training program Tools for Change. Between 2007 and 2013 she served on the editorial committee of Upping the Anti: A journal of theory and action. \nFor more information about the book\, visit:\nhttps://www.akpress.org/keywords-for-radicals.html

SUMMARY:Dorian Wood + String Quartet : A Dios
DESCRIPTION:Of us\, repeatedly staring down into the precipice of fleeting consciousness; of milk and lust; of the breadth of celebrity death…an evening of music by Dorian Wood and conductor/arranger Danny Graziani\, with art direction by Eduardo Alvarez (director of Wood’s video “O”).\n \n\n“A fearless artist and performer whose voice inhabits a room like a choir of ghosts” (LA Weekly)\, Dorian Wood seeks to glorify both the sanctity and irreverence of intimacy. Through the use of his corpulent body and distinct vocalization\, Wood revels in challenging the artist-audience separation\, using subject matter informed by his own position in society as a queer man of color and an autodidact without a formal college education nor a strong alliance to any particular community. His work has been showcased in institutions such as LACMA (Los Angeles)\, The Stone (NYC)\, Kulturhuset (Stockholm)\, and Hebbel am Ufer (Berlin). As a musician\, he has released over a dozen recordings. His two most recent back-to-back albums\, Rattle Rattle and Down\, The Dirty Roof\, showcase a series of doomsday-themed songs that incorporate over 60 musicians. He is currently working on a new album\, XALÁ\, set for release in 2017. Tickets: $15 in advance; $20 at the door. Purchase advance tickets here!\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8vMUzj80Zs
