SUMMARY:Heal Her
DESCRIPTION:#HealHer is a global action by women who are coming together to break the silence on violence. Meeting in circles around the world\, we create rituals dedicated to storytelling\, consciousness-raising\, empathetic listening\, and collective healing. \n2017 shifted the narrative on sexual violence. As we enter 2018\, join artists\, healers\, performers\, and activists in holding a space where survivors can speak for themselves and commit to the mutual journey of healing. \n* Bring a flower or offering for the ceremony. Each attendee will be given a healing charm to take home with them. * \nWomen who speak about harassment and assault are often shamed\, disbelieved\, or dismissed. As awareness about violence against women increases through campaigns such as #MeToo\, it is time for those who have been silenced to be heard. Heal Her uses the ancient concept of the women’s circle as a platform for participants to share survival stories\, coping strategies\, and experiences related to gender-based violence and trauma. Known as talking circles\, healing circles\, or moon circles\, the ritual of meeting in circles is rooted in indigenous practices that many communities still engage in today. By coming together through storytelling\, music\, dance\, and ritual\, circles promote group cohesion\, facilitate interpersonal communication\, and provide spiritual guidance. \nHeal Her launches in 2018 with events in Los Angeles\, New York\, Berlin\, Boston\, San Francisco\, London\, Paris\, Baltimore\, and Utrecht. To bring Heal Her to your community\, email healherproject@gmail.com. Collected stories and contributions will be turned into an interactive installation and website. #HealHer is a collaboration between Lena Chen and Annique Delphine\, organizers\, community groups\, activists\, and survivors worldwide. \nThe project has been made possible with funding from DAZA Filmes\, a women-led production company founded in 2010 by Leandra Leal\, Carol Benjamin\, and Rita Toledo in Brazil. Their feature-length documentary As Mil Mulheres / A Thousand Women will show the behind-the-scenes development of Heal Her. \n(Cover image by Annique Delphine) \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\ninstallation images courtesy of the artist

SUMMARY:New Performances
DESCRIPTION:An evening of short performance by: \nErica Magrey \nAmanda-Faye Jimenez \nAbigail Levine & Corey Fogel \nPasadena House Wives \n Erica Magrey is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist working with video\, performance\, music\, costume\, sculpture\, photography\, and set design. Her work playfully examines the embodiment of personas in order to inhabit familiar and foreign\, human and non-human characters\, performing an investigative relationship with them. Once conjured\, the persona’s fit may be surprising: like a deja vu glove\, a seamless transition; or\, bulkily\, somewhere on the spectrum toward needs alteration. In videos and live performances\, the audience bears witness to acts of transformation and embodiment; in interactive works\, the user is granted agency to participate in transformative manipulations. \nAmanda-Faye Jimenez is a Blaxican queer fat femme dyke writer and performer. She has performed at SORORITY at The Hammer Museum\, the Radar Productions Queer Readings Series\, and the McDonald’s in Silverlake next to her favorite gay bar. When she isn’t spilling her guts onstage\, she can be found creating semi-relatable social media content @failureprincess and letting her dogs kiss her on the mouth\, even though everyone says that’s some white people shit. \nAbigail Levine is a New York-based choreographer and performer. Her works are rooted in dance and draw from visual and performance art. Corey Fogel is a drummer and artist whose practice is based in momentary encounters often involving the intersection of sounds\, objects\, textiles\, foods. The two artists perform together for the first time on January 12 \nPasadena House Wives met at a cocktail and craft party held every third Sunday of the month at their country club. They bonded over mutual frustrations with absent husbands and annoying children\, their abilities to drink more cocktails then beads on a necklace\, and hot secretive affairs with their children’s college friends. They started playing music together because both their therapists suggested alternative modes of mental and physical release as a way to maintain a healthy outlook on life.

SUMMARY:Music by Tashi Wada
DESCRIPTION:Music by Tashi Wada\, performed by Charles Curtis\, Dafne Vicente-Sandoval\, Tashi Wada and Julia Holter \nThis program collects three long-form works by composer Tashi Wada that explore diverging aspects of tuning and tonality. Valence (2016)\, written for cellist Charles Curtis\, isolates and reharmonizes the natural overtones of a single string\, destabilizing and fusing tone and timbre through a delicate alchemy. Witness (2017)\, written for bassoonist Dafne Vicente-Sandoval\, draws out the relationship between an array of scales and tetrachords (four-note segments of scales) found traditionally in Greek\, Persian\, and Arabic musics\, in combination with hybrid and invented scales\, through repetition\, variation\, and improvisation. Mutable Signs\, Wada’s performance for keyboard\, voice\, and sirens with guest musician Julia Holter\, focuses on the outer edges of historical\, non-equal temperaments\, eliciting a more distant\, uneven sense of tonality. \n \nTashi Wada is a Los Angeles-based composer and performer whose works explore harmonic overtones\, resonance\, and dissonance through precise tuning and a gradual change in pitch. Grounded in a belief that “music should be as direct as possible\,” his compositions use apparently simple structures to generate rich and unanticipated perceptual effects. Working in relation to American experimental music\, microtonal music\, and so-called drone music\, Wada’s practice is also informed by interdisciplinary performance and Fluxus-affiliated artists. He studied composition at CalArts with James Tenney and for many years has performed alongside his father\, composer Yoshi Wada. \n \nAcknowledged internationally as a performer of new and experimental music\, cellist Charles Curtis has been associated with minimalist pioneer La Monte Young since 1987\, their intimate working relationship having yielded retroactive recalibrations of pieces like Young’s 1958 Trio for Strings. Curtis has created a new body of work for solo cello through additional close collaborations with composers Alvin Lucier\, Éliane Radigue\, Christian Wolff\, Alison Knowles and Tashi Wada. Rarely-heard works of Terry Jennings\, Morton Feldman and Richard Maxfield have also been signposts in a performing life that extends to membership in experimental rock band King Missile\, collaborations with Bongwater and Borbetomagus\, and studio appearances with the likes of Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Straddling the boundaries between art rock\, sound art\, and minimalist composition with his own Charles Curtis Trio\, for Curtis the heterogeneity of his practice returns to the same simple values\, the same concerns for precision and specificity of expression and craftsmanship\, all in the service of a very fundamental human expression. Trained at Juilliard\, Curtis was First Solo Cellist of the NDR Symphony Orchestra in Hamburg before becoming Professor of Music at the University of California\, San Diego in 2000. \n \nJulia Holter is a composer\, performer\, and recording artist based in Los Angeles. Her interest in the mysteries of the sonic atmosphere has compelled her to record in various settings–in her home\, outside with a field recorder\, and in professional studios—as well as to perform live\, often with a focus on the voice. She has studied music composition at Cal Arts and University of Michigan and has performed at various venues and festivals around the world. She frequently collaborates in group projects as well\, with artist and musician friends Rick Bahto\, Ramona Gonzalez\, Tashi Wada\, Yelena Zhelezov\, Laurel Halo\, Mark So\, Cat Lamb\, Laura Steenberge\, and more. \n \nDafne Vicente-Sandoval is a bassoon player\, who explores sound through improvisation\, contemporary music performance and sound installations. Her instrumental approach is centered on the fragility of sound and its emergence within a given space\, testing the threshold between instability and control. Dafne currently lives in Paris. She favours long term collaborations within which her work keeps an integrity while holding a dialogue with that of others (current collaborations with Jakob Ullmann\, Éliane Radigue\, Klaus Lang\, Peter Ablinger). Her work has been shown in contemporary music festivals (Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival\, England; Musikprotokoll\, Graz; Blurred Edges\, Hamburg; El Nicho\, Mexico; Tectonics\, Glasgow)\, as well as in improvised music (Konfrontationen\, Austria; No Idea\, Texas) and sound art (Tsonami\, Chile) festivals.

SUMMARY:Meet the Candidate: Kristina Wong for Something or Other
DESCRIPTION:Kristina Wong is a performance artist\, comedian\, and hopefully with your vote\, a future disgraced Politician. After touring the world with original stage and guerrilla performance\, Kristina realized her artful spectacles could no longer compete with the shock of real life. Therefore\, Kristina has decided to move her performances onto the public stage and run for political office before 2030 or when the country implodes (whichever comes first). But first she needs a public think tank\, a slogan\, and people to bribe her. This night will be an experiment in crafting political narrative. It’s a combination of learning about Kristina’s 18 year history of performance work\, and also a group honing a vision of her campaign that will leave voters swooning. **This is her first public event\, so expect bumps. \nPresented by at land’s edge

SUMMARY:PRICE — Where Do You Wanna Go Today (Variations)
DESCRIPTION:Performance: 8 pm sharp\n$10 suggested donation \nPRICE is a hybrid fictional character born from the sea of information\, who explores the emotional disorientation of a generation having grown up with mass culture\, neoliberalism and the omnipresence of the internet. By probing the mechanisms of pop\, PRICE’s musical stories evoke instability\, fear\, and romantic disillusion. Where Do You Wanna Go Today reinvents itself from clubs to art galleries\, using these diverse contexts to affirm the frustration and solitude of a generation he considers to bedown-and-out. At a time when storytelling has taken over the collective psyche\, the artist’s sincere and ambiguous presence has testimonial value. \nThe performance Where Do You Wanna Go Today (Variations) works with a Pop Musical Audiobook (2017). The album is comprised of different acts\, songs and stories but is treated as a single work rather than a collection of individual pop hits of perfect length\, structure or quality\, and adopts a playful approach to comment on the ways music is perceived today. The title hints to the music’s composition in relation to the acts’ structure\, length\, melodies\, words and themes of geography\, texture and\, most importantly\, the contemporary disorientation of identities. \nBy restructuring pop songs and zapping through different architectural worlds\, this album evokes feelings of dislocation\, instability\, fear and the struggles involved in love and relationships. It advances a queer anonymity freed from any fixed cultural identity in an age of accelerating media exposure fixated on fame. \nWhere Do You Wanna Go Today (Variations) is performed by the voice and body of PRICE\, who in this work welcomes the audience to experience something ‘in between’ rather than accepting pre-labeled differences. It’s a piece that purposefully lacks direction\, triggering nostalgic moods that remind us how to start all over again. \nPerforming Artist Mathias Ringgenberg (aka PRICE\, * 1986 in Rio de Janeiro\, lives and works in Zürich) In his current performative works called\, Where Do You Wanna Go Today (Variations)\, Can’t say much about anything that’s new and the associated debut album Greatest Hits or his video performances A: I am impressed B: Well – I am in love\, Home is a place we all have to find or You don’t touch it\, it touches you\, Mathias Ringgenberg\, developed the fictional character PRICE. \n \nConcept & Performed  PRICE (Mathias Ringgenberg) \nDramaturgy & Character Coach Mira Kandathil \nMovement Research Ivan Blagajcevic \nVoice Coach Katarzyna Sitarz \nMusic PRICE \nMusic Producer Alban Schelbert\, Modulaw \nCostume Design BARRAGÁN \nGraphic Design Bart de Baets \nPhotography Senta Simond \nCo-Production Arsenic – Contemporary Performing Arts Center\, Lausanne\, STUK – House for Dance\, Image & Sound\, Leuven \nSpecial thanks to Tanzhaus Zürich\, Workspace Brussels\, Montevideo Marseille\, Vitlycke – Centre for Performing Arts and Mario Winkler Company GmbH \nThis project is supported by Pro Helvetia\, Swiss Cultural Foundation\, the City of Zurich\, Canton of Zurich\, Ernst Göhner Foundation \nhttp://theworkofprice.tumblr.com/\nhttps://soundcloud.com/price-music/sets/price-where-do-you-wanna-go-today

SUMMARY:Sweet
DESCRIPTION:An evening of music videos premieres from Eddington Again and Tolliver with live performances by \nEddington Again \nTolliver \nHunger City \nDJ Bae Bae \nSpecial guest TBA \n  \nEddington Again \nEddington Again describes themselves as “African American Indigo excellence here to transcend the mundane”. Their lyrics speaks on adventures in the East Hollywood/Downtown LA community\, navigating as a queer black being in society and the metaphysical aspects of existing. As versatile as they are forward their sonic style ranges from classic soul and r&b bops to experimental pop ballads.

SUMMARY:While I was also listening to ...
DESCRIPTION:image: David Horvitz\, Ocean Sounds (2017) \nWhile I was also listening to Krysten\, LeRoy\, Julien\, Jennie\, Félicia\, David\, Yann\, Luke\, Sarah… \nLa Criée\, in partnership with Human Resources LA\, invites seven artists to expand the notion of narrative and improvisation. Performing narrative\, deconstructing storytelling; this session of While I was also listening to … challenges the traditional approach to narration\, opening up the horizon of what narrative is or how a story can be told. \nA choreographed narration responding to a set of live instructions. A translation of a language and sounds we cannot really write about – but only experience. A series of “automated” books speaking in tongues. A dialogue unfolding with or without words An thread that is an allegory of narration\, linking bodies and stories together. An unexpected and silent presence\, reminding us that every story in order to exist\, need to be listened to. \nThe duration of each performance varies between 5 and 30 minutes. \nArtists and performers: \nKrysten Cunningham\nThe Human Luminescence\nAn interactive performance project for four performers. Inspired by left-brain\, right brain experiments\, it explores a bodily counterbalance to spoken language and orality. \nFélicia Atkinson and Julien Bismuth\nTalking with or without words\nThe artists will engage in an improvised conversation using sound\, objects and images… \nLeRoy Stevens\nPerforming books\nStevens will perform with books that emit pre-recorded sound compiled from television\, radio and other sources. \nJennie Liu\nThe Telling\nA remote-controlled performance with performer/potter Laura Stinger. In The Telling\, choreographer Liu relates her embodiment through a context off-site to Stinger\, who processes what she is receiving via several forms of orature: vocal\, gestural\, material. \nDavid Horvitz\nWhen the Ocean Sounds\nThe artist – together with the audience – performs a text translation of the sounds of the Ocean. (participatory performance\, variable duration) \nLucky Dragons\nLucky Dragons open the door \nYann Sérandour\nAudience dog\nAn unexpected and silent presence wearing a dog mask playfully reminds of the training techniques to give better public speeches by rehearsing in front of a dog. It also refers to the stillness of the performance and to the absence of verbal language. Performing silently for the whole duration of the evening\, Sérandour makes visible the act of listening to –which gives the title to the whole program– and reminds us to pay attention to the multiple narrations unfolded. \nWhile I was also listening to NY & LA is a performative extension of the yearlong series of exhibitions and events Alors que j’écoutais moi aussi […] developed at La Criée centre for contemporary art\, Rennes\, France\, in 2017. This program was conceived and organized by Sophie Kaplan\, director of the art centre\, in close collaboration with three associated artists: Félicia Atkinson\, Julien Bismuth\, and Yann Serandour. The American poet and performer David Antin is the figurehead of this ambitious and polyphonic program. \nWhile I was also listening to NY & LA takes place in Los Angeles at Human Resources on March 22nd and in New York at Artists Space on March 27th and at the Emily Harvey Foundation on March 30th and March 31st. \nThe different components of this project are linked by a common thematic and conceptual concern\, that of narrative. What is a narrative in art (i.e. as exemplified by the two extremes of a personal story and a general art history)? How is narrative used as a medium and form in the arts? How does narrative in turn generate different forms of interdisciplinarity and intermediality? \nOn March\, 22nd\, the first event takes place at Human Resources L.A.\, featuring Krysten Cunningham\, LeRoy Stevens\, David Horvitz\, Jennie Liu and her performers\, Félicia Atkinson and Julien Bismuth\, Yann Sérandour and Lucky Dragons. \nOn March 27th\, the second event takes place at Artists Space\, N.Y.\, featuring Julien Bismuth\, Charles Bernstein\, Jay Sanders\, Tan Lin\, and Ellen Zweig. \nOn March 30th\, the third event takes place at the Emily Harvey Foundation\, featuring Morgan Bassichis\, Constance DeJong\, Wayne Koestenbaum\, Sara Magenheimer\, Félicia Atkinson and Yann Sérandour and is followed on March 31st by workshops led by Svetlana Kitto\, Julien Bismuth and Lucy Ives. \nThe Paris based Italian curator Alessandra Prandin has been invited by La Criée to coordinate and curate this American chapter with local partners Luke Fischbeck from Human Resources in Los Angeles and Rachel Valinsky (Wendy’s Subway) in New York. The event at Artists Space is curated by artist Julien Bismuth\, poet Charles Bernstein and curator Jay Sanders. \nWhile I was also listening to NY & LA is made possible thanks to the generous support of Institut Français / Ville de Rennes / Rennes\nMétropole / Ambassade de France / Ministère de la culture – Drac Bretagne.

In 2015\, Trap Girl released their debut album\, From Diamonds to Dust\, which featured hard-hitting anthems such as “I’m a Trap Girl” and “Dead Men Don’t Rape.” In 2017\, they released their follow-up record\, The Black Market. Their music addresses issues such as the violence all too frequently experienced by trans POC and womxn\, and the risks involved with black market surgical procedures. Arriola-Sands created Queer Queens of LA\, a year-round concert series featuring queer artists\, and Transgress Fest\, the first festival in Southern California to spotlight trans/gender nonconforming punk\, hardcore\, and rock musicians. \nwww.trapgirl.bandcamp.com \n  \n  \nThe Uhuruverse \nThe Uhuruverse is a Los Angeles-based PROTEST ARTIST who uses multiple mediums and performance styles\, including burlesque\, butoh\, and drag\, to speak against oppression and demand the liberation of womxn’s and gender nonconforming bodies.

O.C.D. is the musical project of Mark Taylor\, who was featured by VOLUME alongside Kid606 and Jan Jelinek in 2016. A common theme is an interest in the material basis and materiality of sound\, augmented here by an exploration of the spatial possibilities of multi-channel performance. \nTickets may be purchased in advance or at the door on a suggested sliding scale donation of $5 to $15. Doors at 7pm \nThis event is intended to be accessible to users of wheelchairs and other accessibility devices.

SUMMARY:Pauline Gloss: Lullabies for the Psychotic and Other Recent Work
DESCRIPTION:Literary sound-artist Pauline Gloss will present an evening of new and recent work in the text-sound / sound-poetry tradition. She will perform a new piece for electronics and spoken voice\, conduct a participatory language game\, and present her new cycle for solo voice\, “Lullabies for the Psychotic.”  \nPauline’s current body of work is concerned with how the smallest bits of language— in both their sonic and meaning-making dimensions— can\, through repetition\, variation\, and syntactical rewiring\, create temporary sonic and semantic meaning-making structures.  \nHer work investigates and foregrounds the physicality of language by rendering it architecturally. She makes of its discreet bits shifty semantic and sonic building-blocks whose stability is always already in question.  \nWith the character and reach of this tool set\, she attempts to form a language in which the boundaries and traditional formations of selfhood are plied\, questioned\, and reformed. \nPauline Gloss is a writer and literary sound-artist based in Los Angeles. Her language-sound work attempts to dramatize and expand language in its timbral\, rhythmic\, textural\, and meaning-making dimensions.  \nShe runs Spoken Records\, a label specializing in the release of work in the Text-Sound tradition. She has been written about favorably in art and music publications and has performed or had work shown in Los Angeles\, London\, and New York at institutions including MoCA Geffen\, Cal Arts\, Resonance FM (London)\, Poetic Research Bureau\, The Lambda Literary Festival\, Automata\, Betalevel\, and others. \n$5 suggestion donation doors at 7pm\, performance at 7:30pm

SUMMARY:Nicholas Deyoe and Matt Barbier
DESCRIPTION:TWO SETS – 8pm and 9:30pm \nDoors at 7pm \n$5-15 Sliding Scale \nVOLUME and Human Resources are pleased to present a performance by guitarist Nicholas Deyoe and trombonist Matt Barbier\, as part of “Cosm\, Organization-Construction\, Second Instance\,” an exhibition of new work by Anja Weiser Flower. Combining both improvisation and multi-channel electronics\, both Deyoe and Barbier will work with large pedal setups to create rich textures of feedback loops and other processed material\, dynamically relayed through multiple amplifiers spread throughout the darkened space. With Flower’s work\, a centralized\, receding point of fixation\, providing a kind of dais and altar\, the performance will build on the transiting and circumambulatory nature of her work to create an enveloping\, panoramic sonic experience. \nThe fourth event in this seven-part series\, Deyoe and Barbier’s performance skillfully combines the two major areas of this event program’s focus–instrumental improvisation and performance on the one hand\, multi-channel electronic work on the other. A hybrid electro-acoustic entity playing on opposite ends of Flower’s work\, the duo will lead a sonic and cosmic transit around this central axis point\, while audience members will be encouraged to relate to both by freely moving throughout the space. As such\, the evening will present an opportunity to draw closer to the often dual influence of sound on Flower’s practice\, ranging from the riot-\, war-\, and crowd-like sounds in Iannis Xenakis’ probabilistic and electronic compositions to the intense silence emanating from Nicholas Poussin’s landscape paintings\, which for him was the confrontation with death. \nTickets may be purchased in advance or at the door on a suggested sliding scale donation of $5 to $15. There will be two performances this evening\, one at 8pm and one at 9:30pm.  VOLUME strives to make its programming as accessible as possible\, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. All proceeds from the show will go towards supporting the artist and production expenses. \nThis event is intended to be accessible to users of wheelchairs and other accessibility devices. Human Resources’ front entrance has one step\, with a folding wheelchair ramp available. The side entrance is wheelchair accessible. Human Resources does not have a wheelchair accessible restroom. The bathroom is gender neutral and has 2 stalls adjacent to each other. Please contact Human Resources with any accessibility questions or requests. \nABOUT NICHOLAS DEYOE \nNicholas Deyoe is a Los Angeles based composer\, conductor\, and guitarist\, and is the Co– Founder and Artistic Director of the wasteLAnd concert series. His music has been called “intriguingly complex and excitedly lush” by the LA Times. The New York Times wrote that Deyoe’s a new(er) anxiety “contrasted filigree lightness and explosive loudness…without seeming to strain for effect.” Drawn to sounds that are inherently physical\, Nicholas strives to create music that engages listeners intellectually and emotionally by appealing to their inner physicality. His compositions combine uses of noise\, delicacy\, drama\, fantasy\, brutality\, and lyricism to create a diverse sonic experience. As a guitarist\, Nicholas strives to further the already vast sound world of the electric guitar by experimenting with microtonal tunings\, preparation\, bows\, and beer cans. He has received commissions from The LA Philharmonic\, Carnegie Hall\, USINESONORE Festival\, The La Jolla Symphony\, Palimpsest\, and several soloists. His music has been performed in throughout North America\, Europe\, and Japan. As a conductor\, Nicholas has performed with wasteLAnd\, ICE\, The La Jolla Symphony Orchestra\, Red Fish Blue Fish\, Ensemble Ascolta\, The Darmstadt Preisträgerensemble\, Noise\, The University of Northern Colorado Symphony Orchestra\, and many ad-hoc ensembles in the United States and Germany. He holds a Ph.D. in composition from UC San Diego where he studied with Roger Reynolds. Nicholas is currently on faculty at California Institute of the Arts where he conducts The Ensemble and teaches composition. \nABOUT MATT BARBIER \nMatt Barbier is an LA based trombonist and composer focused on experimental intonation\, noise\, and the physical processes of his instrument. His playing has been described by the LA Times as being “of intense\, brilliant\, virtuosic growling that gave the striking impression that Barbier was dismantling the instrument while playing it.” \nTo encourage new repertoire and the expansion of his instrument\, Matt engages in collaborative relationships with a range of composers including Wolfgang von Schweinitz\, Michelle Lou\, Nicholas Deyoe\, David Brynjar Franzson\, Timothy McCormack\, and Katherine Young. He has also given world premieres of works by a wide spectrum of composers including Katharina Rosenberger\, Richard Barrett\, Catherine Lamb\, James Tenney\, Anne LeBaron\, Scott Walker\, and Jürg Frey. \nMatt is a founding member of gnarwhallaby\, the low brass duo\, RAGE Thormbones\, with Weston Olencki\, Trio Kobayashi\, wildUp\, and is an assistant director of wasteLAnd music. Matt is a member of the performing arts faculty at CalArts and teaches trombone and euphonium at Los Angeles City College (LACC). \nMatt has performed for the Monday Evening Concerts\, LA Phil’s Green Umbrella\, Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt\, Dartington International Summer School\, the Museum of Jurassic Technology\, Hamburg’s KlangWerkTage and Kampnagel\, Berlin’s 7Hours\, Palimpsest Ensemble\, InAuthentica\, Carnegie’s Zankel Hall\, the New Century Players\, and The Ensemble at CalArts\, as well as presenting guest lectures at CalArts\, UCSD\, UCSB\, University of British Columbia\, and Simon Fraser University. He has also been in residence at Harvard (HGNM)\, UCSD\, Stanford\, CalArts\, UCSC\, Columbia\, NYU\, and UCLA. Matt has recorded works for release of Populist\, Mode\, Hat Hut\, and Innova Records. Additionally\, he has released a technical manual for composers and trombonists on the production and compositional integration of lip multiphonics and split tones. \nAs a composer he has written music and created sound installations for The Factory Seconds Brass Trio\, WasteLAnd\, gnarwhallaby\, RAGE Thormbones\, the Museum of Jurassic Technology\, SASSAS\, Machine Project\, LACMA\, the Los Angeles Trombone Collective\, and the Getty Villa\, as well as engaging in a long term collaborative relationship with digital media artist Tom Leeser. \nHis trombone teachers include Richard Stout\, James Miller\, Michael Svoboda\, Alex Iles and Dick Erb. He studied composition with Ulrich Krieger and Wolfgang von Schweinitz. Matt received a MFA from CalArts. \nABOUT ANJA WEISER FLOWER \nAnja Weiser Flower is trying to stitch together a newly centralized aesthetic construction. Anja Weiser Flower wants to pull the unitary social mind together with you. Is modeling a point of concentration whose sheaves you can read through\, feeling some of the patterns in which our Everything organizes itself. Is trying to get you to feel the underlying potential of a transsexual universality in human life\, is here for the potential of an unwhite disabled queer feminine transcendent overcoming\, the material human community.

SUMMARY:Christine Tavolacci and Ted Byrnes perform John Cage’s Ryoanji
DESCRIPTION:TWO PERFORMANCES – 8pm and 9:30pm \nDoors at 7pm \n$15 Suggested Donation \nOn the surface\, a comparison might be hazarded between John Cage’s mid-eighties composition Ryoanji and the untitled work at the center of “Cosm\, Organization-Construction\, Second Instance\,” the debut Los Angeles exhibition of Bay Area artist Anja Weiser Flower.  \nIndeed\, both works share an interest in surfaces and their relationship to time. In Cage’s case\, this arises through the musical transposition\, via a graphic score\, of the paths traced by fifteen moss-covered stones across the surface of a rock garden raked daily by Zen monks at the composition’s eponymous Kyoto temple. In Flower’s case\, the intricate\, primarily textile surface of the central portion of her work\, painstakingly developed over several years\, both conceals and reveals layers of materiality and meaning\, as the visible articulation of the work evolves over the course of the show’s run. Both artists share an interest in the intermediate zone between physical and sonic space\, as elaborated over the course of VOLUME’s event program for Flower’s exhibition. \nAs such\, VOLUME and Human Resources are honored to present a performance of Cage’s Ryoanji by flutist Christine Tavolacci\, co-founder and co-director of the celebrated Southland ensemble\, and percussionist Ted Byrnes as the closing event of “Cosm\, Organization-Construction\, Second Instance.” This evening will present a unique opportunity to experience the final articulation of this important artwork in tandem with an interpretation of Cage’s composition by two leading figures in contemporary experimental music. \nThere will be two performances of this work\, taking place at 8pm and 9:30pm\, with doors opening at 7pm. Tickets may be purchased in advance or at the door for a suggested donation of $15. The performance will take place in darkness\, with Flower’s work providing the sole source of illumination in the main exhibition space. \nThis event is intended to be accessible to users of wheelchairs and other accessibility devices. Human Resources’ front entrance has one step\, with a folding wheelchair ramp available. The side entrance is wheelchair accessible. Human Resources does not have a wheelchair accessible restroom. The bathroom is gender neutral and has 2 stalls adjacent to each other. Please contact Human Resources with any accessibility questions or requests. \nABOUT CHRISTINE TAVOLACCI \nChristine Tavolacci is a Los Angeles-based flutist\, composer\, and educator specializing in contemporary and experimental music. She has traveled across the United States and Europe to study and perform\, and has been involved in the premieres of many new works\, including those by Alvin Lucier\, James Saunders\, Michael Pisaro\, Chiyoko Slavnics\, Carolyn Chen\, and Catherine Lamb.  \nChristine is active as a soloist\, improviser\, curator\, and chamber musician both in California and internationally. She is co-founder and co-director of Southland Ensemble\, as well as a member of the Dog Star Orchestra and Gurrisonic. Her playing has been released on Orenda Records\,  Slub Music (Japan)\, and Tzadik. She has been a guest lecturer at both UCLA and CalArts\, an associate instructor at UC San Diego\, and has taught several workshops on contemporary music to children of various ages.  \nIn 2006\, Christine received her BFA in flute performance from California Institute of the Arts.  She has also received her Diplôme de Specialisation with mention trés bien from the Conservatoire National de Region Strasbourg in Strasbourg\, France\, where she studied flute with Mario Caroli from 2006-2008. Christine completed her Doctorate (DMA) in Contemporary Music Performance at the University of California San Diego in the spring of 2017. \nABOUT TED BYRNES \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. \nTed’s recorded output oscillates between heavily acoustic music and harsh noise while keeping a similar approach. For a thorough overview of recordings\, please visit the Discography page of his website. \nTed has also collaborated with/worked for a variety of visual artists: he has accompanied a Doug Aitken “happening\,” scored and performed percussion for an Emily Mast performance\, collaborated with Olivia Booth to play her glass artworks\, collaborated with Dani Tull on a sound performance\, performed with John Knuth and Bret Nicely at an installation in an empty pool\, and has performed for FLUXUS artist Jeff Perkins on multiple occasions for his projector/light installations. \nCurrently\, Ted is delving further into the possibilities and realities of solo drumset performance in addition to continuing to work with his existing projects.

SUMMARY:CARRIAGE: Matty Davis & Ben Gould
DESCRIPTION:CARRIAGE \nby Matty Davis and Ben Gould \n  \nSunday\, May 6\, 2018 \n7:00PM–9:00PM (performance begins promptly at 7:15PM) \nHuman Resources\, 410 Cottage Home St\, Los Angeles\, CA 90012 \nFREE \n  \nCarriage is a site-responsive performance created by Matty Davis and Ben Gould that radically explores control and empathy\, motored in part by the raw energy of Gould’s Tourette Syndrome.  \nThis performance is informed by evolving senses of the body—injury\, trauma\, healing\, and growth—and offers a unique opportunity to create a work that draws from the variance of Davis and Gould’s distinct physicalities. The result is an intense\, viscerally and sonically charged experience\, where empathy is a physical tool\, resistance offers stability\, and we are all cast out into a space that levels us\, brings us real fear\, awakening\, new vocabularies and physical structures. \n  \nThis year the work travels the U.S. with performances in a wide range of sites\, responding to the ground and the way surfaces offer the body resistance and support. From ice\, to grass\, to concrete\, and within a wide variety of architectures\, the work continuously evolves and re-composes itself according to the unique visual\, sonic\, and kinesthetic possibilities of each location. Upcoming\, Carriage will be presented in partnership with Lightbox in Detroit\, MI on June 9\, 2018\, and upon a boat on the Chicago River later that month. \n  \nCarriage has been workshopped in New York City at Judson Church\, the Watermill Center\, the Edward F. Albee Foundation\, the Philadelphia School\, and Queenslab. It was supported through a residency at the Kickstarter Headquarters in NYC.  \n  \nYou may view Held Over Shore\, a 16mm short film based on Carriage made with artist Eryka Dellenbach here: https://vimeo.com/246698783/981a46c5a2 \n  \nMatty Davis is an artist from Pittsburgh\, PA\, where his grandfather worked for decades in the steel mills. His interdisciplinary work seeks embodied transformation\, often through collaboration with other people\, materials\, and landscapes. Described by the New Yorker as “fearless\,” his work is noted for its combination of intense\, imaginative physicality and intimacy. Recently\, Davis has been invested in how particular conditions of the body\, the elements\, and the ground necessarily impact kinesthesia\, energy systems\, and psychological states\, partially in relation to having undergone intensive hand surgery last year due to a saw accident. In 2012\, he co-founded and continues to co-artistic direct BOOMERANG\, a performance project based in New York City. His work has been presented by the Art Institute of Chicago\, Steppenwolf Theater\, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago\, Judson Church\, the 92nd St. Y\, the Watermill Center\, Dixon Place\, Danspace Project\, and the Arts Arena in Paris\, among others. He was the recipient of a 2016 Visual Arts Fellowship from the Edward F. Albee Foundation\, and has recently been an artist-in-residence at the Watermill Center and Kickstarter’s HQ in Brooklyn. Davis teaches at colleges and schools throughout the US\, including New York University\, Columbia College\, Oberlin College\, Muhlenberg College\, Kenyon College\, The Professional Performing Arts High School in New York\, and The Philadelphia School. More information is available at www.mattydavis.net \n  \nBen Gould is an artist currently living and working in New York City. After being diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome\, Gould’s studio practice has transformed to harbor a new investment in the body\, exploring limits\, resistance\, and the loss of control. Grounded in performance\, his multidisciplinary practice is built upon collaboration\, intimacy\, and urgency – cultivated by a deep interest in how energy is directed\, rerouted\, transformed and transferred. His condition has become an engine for movement-based performance work that is in search of stabilization\, and driven by an evolving practice of energetic restraint and release. Within a growing mythos\, a space for fantasy and freedom is created for the corresponding videos\, images\, and objects that emerge from this process. Gould has performed site-specific works across the country\, from varied geographies to institutional spaces – leading to solo exhibitions at Plug Projects in Kansas City and Ballroom Projects in Chicago\, and collaborations with musicians\, rock climbers\, singers\, and designers. Gould has apprenticed with master craftsmen in California\, was a 2015 Ox-Bow Fellow\, and a Kickstarter Artist in Residence in 2017. He was born in Grass Valley\, California in 1993 and was raised there\, in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains\, next to a decommissioned gold mine and a river. Most recently he has performed and shown new works in Kansas City\, San Antonio\, Miami\, and at the Watermill Center and Judson Church in New York.

How do we resist temptation\, how do we slow down\, how do we play\, how do we survive? How do we hold space for each other\, how do you carry the multiplicities of being young\, gifted and black. \n“It is complicated. it is blurry. it is rooted and unrooted in my peoples history. my people being black people. it is difficult and hard\, it is attached to my spine\, it is connected to the middle passage of the Atlantic slave trade\, it is in my blood\, it is in the color of my shit in the toilet bowel\, it is in the smell of my ancestors shit for weeks on end decaying\, decaying on their chained bodies. it is crystal clear. it is as blue as water\, it is as heavy as 1\,000 black bodies being dumped into the ocean. it is dark. it is so peculiar. it is only felt as phantom pains\, missing links\, pedestals of display. it is the value of the auction block\, it is the price of your coffee beans\, your sugar and your tea leaves.your coffee beans\, your sugar and your tea leaves. it is unforgiven and not speakable. it is unbelievable and thinkable. it is high yellow\, red bone\, caramel\, chocolate. it is so black\, it is blue. it is so black\, it is blue. it is so fucking queer\, it is so fucking clear\, it is so fucking queer\, it is detached and left for the faggots that can never be black men. it is detached and left for the faggots that can never be black men. it is fragile\, it is as soft as cotton and hair weaves. as cotton and hair weaves. it is an open as the wounds on a slaves back. my ancestors backs. it is everything that i have ever known and resisted. it is everything that I have ever known and resisted. it is every piece of fabric and different colored paper with numerical value. it is the palms of my hands\, my fathers hands\, my brothers hands\, my mothers hands\, my sisters hands\, my aunties hands\, my cousins hands\, my children’s hands. it is… complicated.” \n— “it is complicated” (2018) \nKeijaun Thomas creates live performance and multimedia installations that oscillate between movement and materials that function as tools\, objects and structures\, as well as a visual language that can be read\, observed\, and repeated within spatial\, temporal\, and sensorial environments. Her work investigates the histories\, symbols\, and images that construct notions of Black identity within Black personhood.  Thomas earned their Masters degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is a current  Franklin Furnace Fund Recipient. Thomas has shown work nationally and internationally in Los Angeles\, CA; Portland\, OR; Portland\, ME; Chicago\, IL; Saugatuck\, MI; Boston\, MA; New York\, NY; Miami\, FL; and Taipei\, Taiwan; Paris\, France; Mexico City\, Mexico; Santiago\, Chile; Istanbul\, Turkey; Beirut\, Lebanon; Saskatchewan and Vancouver\, Canada; and the United Kingdom. \nNicolas Bermeo is an artist currently living in Los Angeles\, California. He is the founder of both Like • Magazine and Like • Movie Night and has shown at 315 Gallery\, The Echo Park Film Center\, The Squeaky Wheel\, The New Latin Wave Festival\, The Queer Arts Festival and  The Hyde Park Art Center. \n

SUMMARY:Terry Riley's In C performed by David Harrow
DESCRIPTION:1964: The year that Terry Riley first performed In C\, the piece that laid the foundations for the entire minimalist movement\, is also the year of my birth. \nTurning full cycle to the present\, a time when contemporary synthesis has brought the principle of variation through repetition to our fingertips\, reaching for the sublime through sonic immersion is needed more now than ever. The compositional quality of In C shines through the use of the new media\, in fact the way the 53 phrases of the piece work with modern electronic is captivating. By programming them into contemporary sequencing methods new avenues for improvisation are revealed\, manipulating the very substance of the sounds themselves. \n“One of the joys of In C is the interaction of the instruments  in polyrhythmic combinations that spontaneously arise between patterns. Some quite fantastic shapes will arise and disintegrate as these groups move through the piece ” – Terry Riley \nAfter a rediscovering Terry Riley’s importance in repetitive patterned sound whilst researching the entire genre of Minimalism for a class I was teaching in Los Angeles\, it became clear to me this piece should be reinvented\, shifted from it’s temporal birthplace to reveal it still firmly at home\, flourishing  in todays Californian experimental music scene. \nPlease join me in a celebration of this icon in our part of the pacific rim. \nABOUT DAVID HARROW  \n\n\n\nDavid Harrow could easily play on musical heritage if he wanted\, but that’s not his style. The man has played with enough true legends of overground and underground music for several lifetimes\, and could dine out for years on the hair- raising stories of far out and extreme musical scenes he’s been involved with. But what links all his musical adventures so far is a constant quest for new and stimulating sounds\, and that applies as strongly now as when he first launched into the post-punk climate in the 80ʼs So through synth-soaked new wave and Neue Deutsche Welle\, through playing with disco legends like Razormaid on the San Francisco scene\, through going deep into dub and experimental electronics as part of the On-U Sound production and live team\, through the dirty rave haunts of London with Andrew Weatherall\, through huge international tours as Technova\, through a huge pop smash with Billie Ray Martin\, through his live drumʼnʼbass extravaganzas as James Hardway\, through the trance world\, on through the Californian bass and weird-beat scenes as OICHO\, to the esoteric ambient soundscapes and percussion soundtracks he releases today\, Harrow is always\, as a wise man once said “on to the next one”. And that hunger for the next sound\, the next new idea\, is what keeps his music as dazzlingly exciting as it has ever been. \n$5 suggested donation
