Masterful curator of the Tulsa Noise Fest \n2:15 – Rust Worship – the answer is in the tapes\, cut and repeat\, loop and destroy. \n3:00 – Gabie Strong and Christopher Reid Martin – two heads are better than one… individually these two slay\, but together\, hide your mind lest it be blasted \n3:45 – LOOP GOAT – Californian by way of Michigan\, Jessica A‘s sometimes masked persona careens and caresses her guitar and voice thru cascades of distortion and processing\, hypnotizing her prey before going in for the kill. \n4:30 – Witches of Malibu – funny to think of the darkest sounds coming from the nicest people. Such is the distinct case with the electro-wizardry of the pedal and box wielder that is cloaked as Witches of Malibu… Surf the blood red tide with us. \n5:30 – Rogue Squares – the combined might of Elaine Carey and Carlos Giffoni\, rocking the permutations of vibrations and the waves that save. \n6:15 – Conscious Summary – main man at the (Handbag) Factory\, shining hope for all things independent and good\, Samur also has created a beautifully frightening multimedia performance that is not to be missed. \n7:00 – Ian E.

SUMMARY:A Portal Through Which Love May Enter 
DESCRIPTION:Veronique d’Entremont\, Veronica De Jesus and Cole M. James will discuss and share practices for healing ancestral and family connections\, discovered through art and writing. As a group\, we will engage a practice based in the work of trauma therapist and theologian Kelly Germaine-Strickland\, and spiritual activist Jardana Peacock\, who practice ancestral healing as an extension of anti-racist organizing work. We welcome others to bring their knowledge\, practices and experiences to the conversation. \nDoors will open at 6PM for food and viewing of:\nA Reproduction of the Trauma; A Portal Through Which Love May Enter\nInstallation by Veronique d’Entremont \nSENSORY EXPERIENCES\nArtwork by Veronica De Jesus \nRue: Explorations of Ether\,Fire\, Wata\, and Gia\nArtwork by Cole M.

Artwork by Veronica De Jesus (2nd floor chapel)
. The goal of this project for me is to create an experience that brings to light the multi layers of life as it relates to our mind\, body and spirit.\nIn the room you have drawings I made recently which describe a need I feel for more spaces with shared resources\, more community building and more care overall that is not so Commerce driven.
Also in the room is a table set up with objects the were crafted by me\, crafted by nature and crafted by the time past. These objects serves as an offering space to spend time to connect\, play and build from within.
And finally I will have a letter writing station with stamps\, paper envelopes. I will specifically be encouraging guests to write to my brother Abraham who serves life in prison here in California. I will be sharing a book I handmade that has his writings and drawings he has been sending me over the years. \nRue: Explorations of Ether\, Fire\, Wata\, and Gia. Artwork by Cole M James. 
In 2013 I was ushered into a hospital room to undergo a small but invasive surgery.  The next day  I was face to face with an AK 47 at the door of my classroom as the Los Angeles Swat Division cleared the campus of Santa Monica College after a mass shooting. The trauma of my surgery followed by the trauma of living through a mass shooting at the hand of a person diagnosed with a manageable psychological disease made me question many modern practices embedded in our modern health care system.  I started searching for ancestral healing practices.  In an article the plant Rue was mentioned as a useful and abundant herb.  This plant that grows evasively is used all over the world.  It has the ability to aid in regulating the reproduction system of women and suppressing the fertile efficiency of men. Given the name witches herb and Herb of Grace\, Rue is mentioned in ballads of Cecilia Cruz and sonnets of Shakespeare. Rue has many roles within religious ceremony and can be found practices of Santeria\, Appalachian HooDoo\, Voodoo\, Wicca and the Catholic Church.  This project is an exploration of Rue and is centered on the connectivity of ancestral knowledge. \nVeronique d’Entremont (Boston\, 1983) is a LA-based interdisciplinary artist\, invested collaborative practice and community organizing.  Through reciprocal spiritual\, pedagogical and studio practices\, Veronique investigates art as a medium for healing individual and community experiences of trauma.  Her work explores how we are shaped by the social and institutional spaces we inhabit– from our families of origin to academic\, religious and correctional institutions—and seeks to transform these spaces.  She has exhibited in Los Angeles\, New York\, Boston and Mexico City\, and has lectured at UCLA\, CalArts\, California College of the Arts\, Palomar College\, and at California Rehabilitation Center\, a prison in Norco\, CA. In 2016 she co-founded The Liberated Art Collective\, and facilitates healing art workshops with formerly-incarcerated and institutionalized individuals. \nVeronica De Jesus is a visual artist raised in several American cities. She illustrates life as an American\, in all its varied splendor. Drawing on pop culture icons\, sports\, heroes and villains\, and more\, she draws our complex world into focus. Her Memorial Drawings\, an ongoing series of illustrations complemented with text\, honor the many people who have influenced our collective culture and reflect on loss and mourning. Her work also explores identity and the ways we hide and reveal elements of our personalities. For over a decade\, Veronica has been working with artists with disabilities\, including at The Lighthouse for the Blind in San Francisco and NIAD (National Institute for Adults with Disabilities) in the SF East Bay. She is currently The Head Arts Facilitator of the Arts Programming and Exhibitions at UCPLA (United Cerebral Palsy of Los Angeles). \nCole M. James’ work is that of a negotiator\, navigating the African Diaspora\, circling the expanse of queerness and fumbling through womanhood.  James creates paintings\, digital prints and video work that explore the intersections between digital production and the analog collections of lived experiences. James was born in Chicago and raised in Moreno Valley California.  She received a BA from Cal State San Bernardino and MFA from Claremont Graduate University James exhibits her work primarily in Los Angeles but has shown in New York\, Miami and South Korea. She was awarded the Alfred B. Friedman Grant\, Walker Parker Artist Fellowship\, and Mignon Schweitzer Award. In addition to her art practice James is a Human Rights Advocate and community collaborative partner.  James has an installation up at the University of LaVerne titled Edifice Artifice until May 2019.  CM James works and lives in Los Angeles CA. \nA Portal Through Which Love May Enter  is the second day of three days of programming at Human Resources\, organized by Veronique d’Entremont. \n***We apologize but the HR bathrooms and second-floor are not wheelchair accessible.***

SUMMARY:Redactions (In Progress)
DESCRIPTION:This is a new way to think of oneself\, [ ] a body composite. No firm boundaries\, not a me with space around. But one of those games\, [ ] [ ] magnet shards that pull [ ] apart at a suggestion\, seem whole but disperse into their millions. Think of yourself that way\, a toy of many\, host\, hosting\, little bugs\, [ ] gathered for a feast\, a jam\, a quorum\, a minion. [ ] Body doesn’t do a dance\, it is one. \nA performance by Abigail Levine and Paula Matthusen. \nAbigail Levine is an artist working between New York and Los Angeles. Rooted in dance but moving across media—performance\, text\, drawing\, sound—Levine focuses on the poetics of our body’s work\, how we record and value it. Her latest work\, the Restagings series\, has been presented at Fridman Gallery\, Vox Populi and The Knockdown Center\, supported by Foundation for Contemporary Arts\, New Music USA\, and residencies at The MacDowell Colony\, Center for Performance Research\, Brooklyn Arts Exchange and Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts. Past works have been presented throughout the US\, in Cuba\, Canada\, Brazil\, Mexico\, Venezuela\, Greece and Taiwan. Levine performed with both Marina Abramovic (2010) and Yvonne Rainer (2018) in their retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art. \nPaula Matthusen is a composer who writes both electroacoustic and acoustic music and realizes sound installations. She has written for diverse instrumentations\, such as “run-on sentence of the pavement” for piano\, ping-pong balls\, and electronics\, which Alex Ross of The New Yorker called “entrancing.” Her work often considers discrepancies in musical space—real\, imagined\, and remembered. Awards include the Walter Hinrichsen Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, a Fulbright Grant\, two ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composers’ Awards\, and the 2014 – 2015 Elliott Carter Rome Prize. Matthusen is currently Associate Professor of Music at Wesleyan University. \nDoors 7:30\, show 8

SUMMARY:Guionnet & Khouri • Chen & Sadja • Guionnet & Kennedy & Hutson
DESCRIPTION:The Unwrinkled Ear Presents \nJean-Luc Guionnet and Lotus Edde Khouri – saxophone and dance \nAFTERBURNER: Audrey Chen and Doron Sadja – voice\, electronics and light \nJean-Luc Guionnet and William Hutson and Jeremy Kennedy – saxophone and electronics and drums \nDoors 8:30/ Music 9 \nJean-Luc Guionnet returns to Los Angeles after two years\, bringing with him a new dance collaboration with Lotus Edde Khouri\, and a new trio that has been incipient in his mind since his last foray in our fair city featuring locals Jeremy Kennedy and William Hutson. \nBerlin-based AFTERBURNER is the collaborative project of vocalist Audrey Chen and audiovisual artist Doron Sadja. A live collaboration for hyper-extended voice\, electronic noise and light\, the group weaves together Chen’s idiosyncratic vocal growls and chirps with Sadja’s dense synthetic noise\, often blurring the line between human- and electronically-generated sound. \nDoron Sadja is an American artist\, composer\, and curator whose work explores modes of perception and the experience of sound\, light\, and space. Often using multichannel or motorized speaker systems and high intensity fog and light\, Sadja crafts immersive performance and installation works that are both playful and transportive. Sadja has published music on 12k and Shinkoyo records\, and has performed/exhibited at PS1 MoMa\, Atonal Festival\, STEIM\, Norberg Festival\, Cleveland Museum of Art\, and Issue Project Room amongst others. \nAudrey Chen has created an uncompromising and idiosyncratic music\, tightly disciplined yet acoustically wild and heavy with implication.Her ultra-verbal vocalising\, often reminiscent of the visceral and emotionally charged sound poetry of François Dufréne or Henri Chopin\, exposes physiological aspects of utterance that are concealed within standardised articulation and day to day speech. Fleshy\, breath-driven and flecked with spittle\, Chen’s voice emanates not just from her mouth but from an ensemble of upper body surfaces\, channels\, passages and cavities. – Julien Cowley THE WIRE \nBrought to you with support from Black Editions

SUMMARY:Greg Kelley/Jessika Kenney • Rob Noyes • Wilson Shook
DESCRIPTION:UPEND presents \nGREG KELLEY / JESSIKA KENNEY DUO\nROB NOYES\nWILSON SHOOK \ndonate 8\ndoors at 8\nsound at 9 \nFacebook Event Page\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1203512939823489/ \nGREG KELLEY / JESSIKA KENNEY \nFirst time meeting of a surely astounding duo of two key figures in sound: Trumpet player Greg Kelley – on tour from Seattle – and Jessika Kenney – a whose multivalent voice thankfully spectralizes here in Los Angeles – as it will Friday night with a light touch of electronic accompaniment. Acquainted from their years proximate in Seattle\, and having found a rapport collaborating in a larger group context\, they choose to join together on the occasion of the L.A. stop on Greg Kelley’s (and Rob Noyes’) Spring tour of the West Coast.\n\nDeep listeners have witnessed Greg Kelley deconstruct the trumpet’s timbre down to the thinnest splinter; He’s blown a lexicon of clicks and whispers in radical ‘micro’ projects nmperign and The BSC. The heaviest of heads have heard his horn push thresholds amidst seas of guitar squall in Heathen Shame. Hep jazzies have long dug his flourishes of freedom alongside such figures as Joe McPhee\, Chris Corsano\, and Paul Flaherty\, and Bill Nace.  Greg can extend to the fullest to be sure\, and – quite literally – brings a bag of tricks to each set. As a collaborator\, he ever explores dialogue and dynamics\, is at ease abstracting in delicate sound fields\, and resilient at full throttle.\nWhether singing amidst gamelan tones\, classical Persian music\, the heaviest metal\, or the noisiest fuzz\, Jessika Kenney keenly considers the play of frequencies\, and how song acts as a conduit for words and meaning. Her solo works – as well as projects with her core collaborator Eyvind Kang – offer an audio syncretism that draws from established forms while conjuring new expressions. Her sense of the spectral has been heard in the ensemble of Persian ney master Hossein Omoumi\, as well as at the helm of the Austrian Choir on Sunn O)))’s Monoliths and Dimensions. Though her practice includes many a studied approach\, she finds a continued freedom in musics of rebellion; her brushes with the Indonesian punk scene resonate. \nROB NOYES \nFirst solo Los Angeles performance from Rob Noyes a standout 12-string acoustic player from Boston. Rob certainly fits in the recommended-if-you-like Robbie Basho or John Fahey category\, but so simple a move would belie the creative depths he plums weaving a tapestry of sound only possible in the present day\, and only possible where the weaver is an astute listener of records (and practicer of playing) and mad creative. Byron Coley describes his debut LP The Feudal Spirit on the rarefied Poon Village label thusly: “On the way to developing his own compositional/performance approach\, Noyes sometimes seems to have absorbed an almost infinite reservoir of influences… Mr. Noyes hits a vast array of sub-genres on this album\, and he hits them all pretty damn hard. Rob’s playing carries the weight of many possibly-imaginary forebears\, but the way he smears them all together shows a holistic mastery of touch and imagination…” \nhttps://poonvillage.bandcamp.com/album/the-feudal-spirit \nWILSON SHOOK \nWith a range of avant-moves Saxophonist Wilson Shook plays free and fluid. Whether blipping and bursting\, laying out textural feels\, or blowing asymmetries circular and smooth\, Shook averts the obvious – his heightened-awareness flows direct attention to the very now of sound\, and whet anticipation for what’s next. After more than a decade in Seattle as an improvisor and activist\, he’s now home in Los Angeles where his playing has already gripped a few lucky rooms\, and hopefully many more. Heads\, ears – perk! \nhttps://otherghosts.net/

SUMMARY:William Basinski + Lawrence English: Selva Oscura
DESCRIPTION:UPEND presents \nWilliam Basinski + Lawrence English: Selva Oscura \nWednesday May 8th\nat\n9pm \nPlease note: this is a special seated performance with limited capacity. Advance tickets are recommended. \nticket link\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/william-basinski-lawrence-english-selva-oscura-tickets-61247423693 \nfacebook event page\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/2425987850747632/ \nFrom their respective bases in Los Angeles and Brisbane\, William Basinski and Lawrence English – two crucial figures of ambient music – collaborated remotely\, trading and manipulating sonic materials to create an ever fleeting\, ever unfolding masterwork: Selva Oscura. Released last year by Temporary Residence Ltd.\, the album explores a liminal space at the very edge of beholding\, at once strange and familiar. The phrase Selva Oscura literally translates “as ‘twilight forest\,’ it metaphorically speaks to both those who find themselves on the unfamiliar path and more explicitly the nature of losing one’s way in place and time.” \nJust after twilight on Wednesday May 8th\, the pair convene in the same room in Los Angeles for a rare performance around this cycle\, plumming the resonant space of Human Resources with a shifting pallette of sound. Come catch their perpetual drift.

SUMMARY:Theo Triantafyllidis: Anti-Gone
DESCRIPTION:Anti-Gone\nA Performance in Mixed-Reality by Theo Triantafyllidis\nMay 11th & 12th\, 7pm\nDuration: 3 acts\, 60mins\, no intermission \nIn a post-climate change world\, environmental catastrophe has become normalized. Cities are sunken\, yet the vestiges of late-capitalist culture – consumerism\, inequality\, social unrest – live on\, clinging like barnacles to the ruins of civilization. Spyda and Lynxa are a couple navigating this world frictionlessly. On their sailboat\, they glide from shopping to movies to psychedelic drugs. In a damaged world where you can have anything you want\, what’s the cost? \nTheo Triantafyllidis’ debut feature-length performance\, Anti-Gone\, is a sprawling experiment in 3D world-building\, real-time simulation\, interactivity and theatricality. Adapted from the eponymous graphic novel by Connor Willumsen\, Triantafyllidis takes the idiosyncratic narrative and visual style of Anti-Gone as a platform to explore the possibilities and limitations of what was once called “Theater”. As Triantafyllidis re-creates the world of Willumsen’s Anti-Gone as a series of 3D scenes\, performers Matthew Doyle\, Lindsey Normington and Zana Gankhyug embark on improvisational excursions in this mediated world. The performers explore dramatic tropes from absurdist theater to psychological realism and somatic awareness\, while the game engine performs alongside them. The actors presence is augmented and complicated by virtual reality headsets\, motion capture suits and audio DSP. Using these tools\, Triantafyllidis directs and shapes the world that is being presented to both the performers and the audience in real time. Anti-Gone asserts theatricality as a new way of thinking fictionally\, as real space is re-incorporated into subjective game logics. The audience is given a theater re-invigorated with new techniques for pleasure and play as the world outside simulates its own destruction… \nBased on the original comic book by Connor Willumsen\nProduced by Matthew Doyle\nStarring Lindsey Normington\, Zana Gankhuyag\, Matthew Doyle\nLighting Design by Connor Childs\nSound by Jeffrey Alan Scudder\nProduction Assistant Polina Miliou\nSpecial Thanks to Mari Spirito\, Celia Hollander\, Luke Fischbeck. \nTheo Triantafyllidis is represented by The Breeder\, Athens and Meredith Rosen\, New York. \nWith the support of UCLA Design | Media Arts\, bitforms gallery.\nTechnical sponsorship by Barco Projectors\, Noitom MoCap. \nAdvance tickets may be purchased here

SUMMARY:Phil Minton & Audrey Chen • Swinging Chandeliers • Corey Fogel
DESCRIPTION:UPEND  presents \nPHIL MINTON & AUDREY CHEN (London/Berlin)\nSWINGING CHANDELIERS\nCOREY FOGEL \ndoors 8pm\nsound 9pm\ndonate $10 \nPHIL MINTON /  AUDREY CHEN DUO\n✶ Los Angeles debut ✶ \nPhil Minton (b. 1940\, Torquay\, England) is a improvisor whose contorted vocal emissions have pushed beyond the boundaries of genre. The past four decades have heard his glossolaliac gurgles\, squeaks\, and deconstructed operatic flights operate within the realms of Free Improvisation\, the body of Jazz itself\, and varied electro-acoustic activities. Over the eras\, he’s collabbed live and on record with an epic list of ace improvisors including Fred Frith\, John Butcher\, Bob Ostertag\, and Joëlle Léandre. To this day (at the end of his 70s!) Minton is a mainstay of London’s Café OTO scene\, and regularly parries in an acoustic vocal duo with Berlin-based improvisor Audrey Chen (b. 1976\, Illinois). With compatible palates\, and complimentary instincts they engage in an instant interplay of queue and chase\, gesture and spittle. Chen herself hyperextends voice\, mining material in between – and beyond – previous utterance. Finding sound via microtones of larynx squeak\, blowing wind turbulence with lip-flip flutters\, and plumming the corporeal with full throated phonation! She has worked with Maria Chavez\, Nate Wooley\, and C. Spencer Yeh among many others. Though Minton and Chen have toured in Europe and U.S. and have cut a couple records together – including a fine duo outing on Sub Rosa – this date marks their first performance in Los Angeles. \nSWINGING CHANDELIERS \nSwinging Chandeliers is the life-duo of reel-to-reel master Joseph Hammer and hypno-visualist Sayo Mitsubishi\, and together they divine a liminal zone of total art and perpetual weirdness. Previous swings have seen Mitsuishi improvise visuals via overhead projector\, unfurling a stream of subconsciousness – drawing simultaneously with each hand. The transparency that scrolls across her platten is more of a match than a metaphor for the looped tape traveling over the heads of Hammer’s rig. \nCOREY FOGEL \nCorey Fogel is a artist and drummer who has clear control over percussive rudiments as well as the will to disrupt the flow. Setting and breaking expectations\, breaking out of rhythm\, and finding ways to surprise with what-to-hit and what-to-drop\, whether it’s a beat or a wrench – either in the system or\, yes\, literally a wrench – Fogel is continually active locally and across the country and the pond improvising and on recent tours with the versatile unit that is Julia Holter’s band and the Tasha Wada Group. Fogel’s solo outings in town\, however\, are curiously infrequent\, and on this auspicious occasion he’ll share some of his instant art idioms.

SUMMARY:The Never Quartet: An Installation by Michael Morley
DESCRIPTION:Music for The Never Quartet \nan installation for a quartet of four \nbowed acoustic guitars by Michael Morley \n  \nSunday July 14th \nAfternoon\, Dusk\, Night \n4:30pm – 6:30pm – 8:30pm \nfree and open to the public \n  \nwith special performances by Electric Sound Bath & CGRSM \nBlack Editions and Human Resources Los Angeles present the U.S. premiere of The Never Quartet\, a new sound installation piece by Michael Morley. \nMichael Morley is a New Zealand based sound artist and visual artist. His work across a range of genre confirms his abilities as an artist\, composer\, improvisor\, performer\, and producer. Responsible for over 100 audio releases from 1985 to 2019 as: Gate\, The Dead C\, The Righteous Yeah\, The Fuck Chairs\, Sun Valley\, and many other collaborations and solo recordings. The development of Music for The Never Quartet has come from a thirty year exploration of the guitar and of sound as art. \nMusic for The Never Quartet seeks to employ the resonating qualities of wooden acoustic guitars placed upon items of wooden furniture to reveal connections between time and space by sonically activating the instruments and the other wooden objects within architectural structures. Tonal drones are produced by acoustic guitars placed on the top of solid wooden furniture. The tones are generated in the guitars using electronic bows that are placed upon the steel guitar strings. \nDuring the installation the audience will be encouraged to record and playback loops of the quartet on their personal mobile devices so as to contribute to the composition and performance in real-time. \nThe installation will be activated for three 1-hour intervals. Between these intervals there will be special performances featuring: \nELECTRIC SOUND BATH  \nLos Angeles-based duo comprised of Ang Wilson (modular synthesizer and singing bowls) and Brian Griffith (bass guitar and electronics). Inspired by the sound baths made famous by the Integratron\, ESB uses singing bowls\, as well as electric instrumentation to create similarly dense wombs of sound that envelop the listener. \n& \nCGRSM \nLos Angeles artists Christopher Reid Martin and Gabie Strong combine forces as CGRSM to create long form drone music\, focusing on harmonic sensory inundations to render spirited body resonances. The duo traditionally use a variety of electronic instrumentations\, relying mainly on amplified guitars. For this performance\, the duo will play accordion and harmonium to explore the spatial conditions of vibrational acoustics.

SUMMARY:Donna Oblongata: All 100 Fires
DESCRIPTION:Somewhere in a forest nearby\, a lone guerrilla commander will ask you to prove yourself during a game of Pass the Sponge. If you fail at that\, maybe you can help grind the sulfur. \nMeanwhile\, the Giant Ibis was thought to be extinct in Cambodia\, though footage from a few years ago reveals that some still exist. That part of the story is true. Basically. But can you really believe a man who was brought up in the taxidermy trade? Join our hero\, who actually is maybe a traitor\, for the war we were born to fight. \nDonna Oblongata returns after taking three years off from touring with a new solo show\, All 100 Fires. The show stars a guerrilla commander and you\, the new recruits. Birds flutter in and out\, though mostly they are dead. \nIt’s a funny play if you like being told that your best isn’t good enough. It’s a sad play if you were hoping for something more optimistic. It’s an educational play if you want to learn how to make explosives. \nWritten & performed by Donna Oblongata\nProduction/puppet design by Patrick Costello\nDirected by Francesca Montanile Lyons \nRunning time: 70 minutes. \ntickets $10-15 sliding scale available here and at the door\, no-one turned away for lack of funds. \nNOT FOR CHILDREN. Ages 16+ only\, please. \nCONTENT WARNINGS: Show features guns\, suicide\, scary noises and smoke effects. \n“A visionary with a knack for creating experiences that transcend the norm…The scope of this production was unreal…a masterpiece.” –Geekadelphia \n“A welcome oasis of imagination…High-energy\, funny\, and surprisingly moving.” –DC MetroArts

SUMMARY:toxinosexofuturecummings
DESCRIPTION:“Ages ago\, about exactly one week after having Nexplanon removed from the inner side of my left arm\, under the skin\, I felt how my shoulders widened.\nNexplanon is a birth control implant that releases progestin.\nIt contains 68 mg of the active substance etonogestrel.\nSynthetic progestin mimics the actions of progesterone\, a naturally occurring hormone.” \n– Ana Teo Ala-Ruona \ntoxinosexofuturecummings is a bodyfiction about pleasurable sex on a polluted planet. It’s a speech performance of a body making itself with words. In the performance sex is seen as an evolutionary and developmental process. It opens up a world in which materials and multispecies bodies infiltrate each other\, giving and receiving pleasure. The world is thoroughly polluted\, but possible\, queer and trans: full of new pleasures and sexualities. \ntoxinosexofuturecummings is a performance about an anticipatory and transformational state. \nContent warning: The piece deals with environmental toxins\, pollution\, hormones and transition. The speech also includes sexual and pornographic content. \nIn Human Resources the work will be performed in collaboration with LA based trans-futurist and sound synthesist Scallion Chloe. \nWorking group:\nAna Teo Ala-Ruona (text & speech)\nAlvi Haapamäki (costume & maski)\nSatu Kankkonen (sound design)\nScallion Chloe (sound design and processing)\nElina Minn (dramaturgy) \nSaara Hannus (production assistance) \nPhoto credit: Nova Kaspia \nAna Teo Ala-Ruona is a performance and visual artist and educator based in Helsinki. They are interested in generating new forms of collectivity\, interdependence and futurities in artistic practice\, while creating space for silenced\, unheard or non-normative\, queer and trans narratives and experiences. Drawing from techniques found in the fields of feminist pedagogy\, contemporary performance and theater\, activism\, and literature\, they create collaborative strategies for feminist speculative fiction in lived practice. https://anateoalaruona.net \nOrganized in conjunction with Ana Teo Ala-Ruona’s solo exhibition TWAH(=These Worlds Are Here) at Gas\, a mobile\, autonomous\, experimental and networked platform for contemporary art located in a truck gallery parked around Los Angeles and online. TWAH(=These Worlds Are Here) will be parked outside of Human Resources post-show on July 27 from 9-10pm. http://www.gas.gallery \nSupported by Frame Contemporary Art Finland\, the Finnish Cultural Foundation and Poets & Writers. \nSliding scale tickets available here and at the door.

SUMMARY:Shawn Greenlee • Vasculae • Nial Morgan
DESCRIPTION:UPEND presents \nwednesday night noise \ndoors at eight\nsound nine\n–\ndonate seven \nSHAWN GREENLEE (Providence\, RI) \nA perennial figure of Providence’s stridently independent underground\, Shawn Greenlee is known as a pusher of thresholds as a core member of the noise-rock unit Landed\, and had been long identified with his project Pleasurehorse. Having shed that moniker some years back in favor of his own name for solo work\, Greenlee’s practice has only grown to encompass more ground\, branching into complex electro-acoustic experiments\, while still courting the extremes possible within the fabric of digital manipulation. Focused on generating digital audio from graphic patterns – via computer programs of his own design – he advances new methods for interpreting visual image as sound. Indeed\, his live sets pull in a staggering range of sounds\, from crackle to shrill. And\, he’s successfully bridged the gap\, bringing the noise into academic spheres – teaching at Rhode Island School of Design\, and recently diffusing his work through the High Density Speaker array at Virginia Tech. \nVASCULAE \nSound in opposition\, Vasculae is a solo project from Jonathan Borges of Pedestrian Deposit. Untethered by a single compositional approach\, he corrals organic source material into a heavy contemplations\, emphasizing textures and natural dynamics. \nNIAL MORGAN \nNial Morgan has played it fast in loose in solo projects Wrong Hole and Race to the Bottom\, and is a sound contributor to the aesthetic juggernaut that is Free The Land. Lately – under his own name – he has been booting up to process his cache of field recordings.

DESCRIPTION:$10 // bring your friends // Doors at 8pm\, Sets at 8:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nAbe Hollow (Oakland)// Abe Hollow is the new songwriting project of Oakland-based composer and producer Adam Hirsch. His songs are a sublimation of his skills as a multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer\, his experimental tendencies toward collaboration and improvisation\, and his continual obsession with family history and the mythologies of the Jewish diaspora. \nhttps://abehollow.bandcamp.com/album/a-palace-in-time \nRose Droll (San Francisco)//  multi-instrumentalist pop-oddity bringing an assortment of mesmerizing\, rich\, and quirky tunes that escape a proper genre.

They are from New Jersey and think Bruce Springsteen is just the best. Their work has screened at the Toronto International Film Festival\, Ann Arbor Film Festival\, SXSW\, Ottawa International Animation Festival\, Slamdance\, Big Sky\, Pictoplasma\, and more.

SUMMARY:Marcia Bassett + Samara Lubelski / Kaori Suzuki + John Krausbauer / Rogue Squares
DESCRIPTION:Doors 8 / Music 9\nAdvance tickets available here \nMARCIA BASSETT (guitar) and SAMARA LUBELSKI (violin) first performed as a duo in 2009\, improvising musical scores to films by Michael Snow and Hollis Frampton at X-Initiative\, Next Years Model series at DIA. Since their initial collaboration\, Bassett and Lubelski have continued to draw from their like-minded approach to improvisational music; creating personal interplay with the environmental surroundings to expand on abstraction\, chromatic noise\, and long form drone. Both Bassett and Lubelski have extensive backgrounds in the East Coast / NYC sub-underground. Bassett has performed in experimental music projects for over twenty years including Un\, GHQ\, Hototogisu\, Double Leopards and her solo project Zaïmph. Lubelski is best known as a solo artist with eight full-length releases\, but she has also been involved in various art-music provocations\, Hall of Fame\, Tower Recordings\, as a member of Thurston Moore’s band\, and in her associations with the long-standing German collective Metabolismus. The 2012 release of their first LP Sunday Night\, Sunday Afternoon\, on KYE Records\, was praised as having “ … incredible expanses and delicately menacing interplay with an increasingly satisfying audaciousness upon each subsequent listen.” — Paul Haney\, Tiny Mix Tapes. The latest LP\, ‘Live NYC’\, Feeding Tube Records (June 2017)\, “Elegantly shows just how much brain damage you can do using only a guitar and a violin… A tale of twinned and lightly fuzzed tones\, twirling and blending…The threads of sound absolutely phosphoresce. It’s an incredible mix of motion\, stillness and power.” – Byron Coley. The duo will have a new LP release on Drawing Room Records Fall 2019. \nKaori Suzuki (US/JP) and John Krausbauer (US) will present music for voices\, amplified strings\, electronics\, and bell percussion. Their work originates from a shared interest in ecstatic and spiritual musics as well as the “avant-garde”. Utilizing sustained tones\, alternate tunings\, long durations/playing endurances\, and stroboscopic lighting\, their music explores the parameters and possibilities of psychotropic ‘experiential’ environments rather than the strictly ‘musical’. \n \nKaori Suzuki is a Tokyo-born music maker/composer living in Oakland\, CA. Her spiraling sound visions often take form in long durations\, using electroacoustic sound technologies\, intensely high register electronics\, modified acoustic instruments\, and tape. She seeks to create heightened listening states\, emphasizing finding ‘music’ within activated space-time. She currently performs solo and plays drums in the Oakland based Minimalist psych-punk group\, Night Collectors; amplified strings in the Ecstatic Music Band; and collaborates with partner\, John Krausbauer\, on immersive light/sound happenings. She has toured and performed her music across the US\, Japan\, Europe\, Mexico\, and Canada\, and has released her music on independent labels in Germany and the US. \nJohn Krausbauer is a composer/multi-instrumentalist/improviser based in Oakland\, CA and co-founder of the Los Angeles publishing label\, Besom Presse. A long time purveyor of the ur-drone and trance-psychedelia\, his work involves audio transmissions for TOTAL/immersive sensory experience. Transcendence through repetition\, duration\, alternate tunings\, maximum volumes\, and stroboscopic lighting. He has performed and presented his music across N America\, Europe\, and Japan in a multitude of settings – from basements\, sidewalks\, and rock clubs to colleges\, churches\, and art museums. Over 20 recordings of his have been released on independent labels in the US\, Europe\, and Japan. His group and solo music can be found on Important\, Beta-Lactam Ring\, ANTS\, Fabrica\, Debacle\, Autumn\, Thin Wrist (upcoming)\, and a number of other international labels. His current music projects include the Ecstatic Music Band (a 10+ member-collective of strings players); solo music for voice\, violin\, and synth; his collaboration with partner\, Kaori Suzuki\, with bells\, voices\, strings\, tape; the Minimalist psych-punk group Night Collectors; his systems-based phase compositions; and ongoing duo collaborations with Kentuckian steel bodied resonator guitar player R. Keenan Lawler\, NYC bagpipe player David Watson\, and Tokyo based guitarist Tetuzi Akiyama.

SUMMARY:Matt Weston (Albany) w/ Shook/Byrnes\, yek koo\, Casa Berenice
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 8\, Music begins at 8:30\nAll Ages\n$10 (advance tickets available here) \nHuman Resources is pleased to welcome MATT WESTON (percussion/electronics) from Albany\, NY. \nMatt will be joined by WILSON SHOOK (saxophones) and TED BYRNES (percussion) for a combined set of solo\, duo\, and trio improvisation. \nYEK KOO (Helga Fassonaki) and CASA BERENICE TRIO (Heather Lockie\, Clay Chaplin\, Sepand Shahab) will help integrate the evening.\n~\n~ ~\n~ ~ ~\nMATT WESTON (Albany\, NY)\nMatt Weston plays percussion and electronics\, and has performed throughout the US\, Canada\, and Europe. \nHe has collaborated with Arthur Brooks\, Bill Callahan/Smog\, Bill Dixon\, Kevin Drumm\, Paul Flaherty\, Charles Gayle\, Milford Graves\, Mary Halvorson\, Le Quan Ninh\, Ben Miller (ex-Destroy All Monsters)\, Roger Miller (Mission of Burma)\, Jim O’Rourke\, Jeff Parker\, and many others. \nHe uses a tympani instead of a snare drum. \nIn addition to his solo work\, Weston is currently a member of the Arthur Brooks Ensemble V; and Arc Pair with drummer Amanda Kraus. \nhttps://mattweston.bandcamp.com/\n~\n~ ~\n~ ~ ~\nWILSON SHOOK (L.A)\nWilson Shook makes music like a moth fluttering at a street light. Graceful\, frantic\, persistent and sometimes tragic\, it is music absorbed of its own inscrutable purpose. It finds serenity in immediacy\, escape in acts of radical presence. It is here\, and then it is not. \nA self-taught improvising saxophonist\, Wilson often performs as a soloist\, with sustained collaborations including Greg Kelley (nmperign)\, Dave Abramson (Diminished Men\, Master Musicians of Bukkake)\, Andrew Scott Young (Tiger Hatchery)\, Ben Bennett\, A. Vitacolonna (Widow)\, Ryan Jewell\, Jacob Wick\, Carol Genetti\, Gust Burns\, Patrick Neill Gundran (Uneasy Chairs). Sporadic collaborations have included many other creative voices in contemporary weirdness.  For 10 years Wilson helped to organize the performance space Gallery 1412 in Seattle. He relocated to Los Angeles in 2017. \nhttps://otherghosts.net\n~\n~ ~\n~ ~ ~\nTED BYRNES (LA)\nTed Byrnes is a drummer/percussionist living in Los Angeles. An alumnus of the Berklee College of Music in Boston\, MA\, he comes from a jazz background and has since made his home in the worlds of free improvisation\, new music\, electro-acoustic music\, and noise. \nTed primarily works in ad hoc improvisational settings\, but has standing improvisational groups including: a group with John Wiese\, a duo with Jeff Parker\, a duo with Chris Cooper (AQH)\, a duo with Charlie Mumma\, a duo with Sam McKinlay\, a duo with William Hutson\, a trio with Jacob Wick and Michael Foster\, among others. Additionally\, Ted has played in duo/trio/or ensemble settings with: Mazen Kerbaj\, Matt Weston\, Ingebrigt Haker Flaten\, Charlemagne Palestine\, Alfred 23 Harth\, Arrington de Dionyso\, Jaap Blonk\, Torsten Muller\, Kim Myhr\, Jim Denley\, Lloyd Honeybrook\, Chris Schlarb\, Mike Watt\, Paul Masvidal\, the LAFMS (including Smegma\, Airway\, Ace Farren Ford’s Artificial Art Ensemble\, Rick and Joe Potts\, Fredrik Nilsen\, Tom Recchion\, Vetza\, etc)\, Sissy Spacek (the band)\, Maher Shalal Hash Baz\, and more. \nhttps://tedbyrnesdrums.com\n~\n~ ~\n~ ~ ~\nYEK KOO (LA)\nyek koo is the solo project of Los Angeles artist\, composer\, and performer Helga Fassonaki. yek koo transverses the visual and poetic\, through the exploration of space\, body\, voice\, and movement.  She can shake up a sound field with dissonance or fill it with cyclical sufi-poetic tones that subtly color her vocal palette. With yek koo\, Fassonaki explores the body as a vehicle for the movement of sound\, utilizing it as a filtering system that pushes sound through the responsive chambers of matter\, air\, and environment\, creating experiences that can be both emotively charged and spatially transformative. \nAside from her expressive free-form guitar\, pocket trumpet\, and vocal wailings in duo project Metal Rouge (with Andrew Scott)\, Fassonaki is known to resound trails of invisible effects and echoes through cassette players and prepared tap shoes\, some of which can be heard on Head\, released on Drawing Room Records in 2017. Bridging her sound and ecological interests\, Fassonaki is currently experimenting with binaural recordings of circular vocal chanting in various natural and geological sites and one-tone compositions in restricted spaces. \nhttps://helgafassonaki.com/yek_koo/\nhttps://soundcloud.com/yek-koo/tracks\nhttps://yekkoo.bandcamp.com/\n~\n~ ~\n~ ~ ~\nCASA BERENICE TRIO (LA)\nCasa Berenice Trio (Heather Lockie\, Clay Chaplin\, and Sepand Shahab) make ambient electro-acoustic improvisation. They scratch violas through electronics\, stretch field recordings\, tweak noisy oscillators\, and have been known to weave a folk song into a patient\, ambient mesh. \nhttps://youtu.be/zOmLj9f49Vs
