Tarr & Cornelius F. Van Stafrin III -- U.S. Tour
DATE: Tuesday, July 6th
TIME: 8 PM
ADMISSION: Free and Open to the Public
Tarr: (Chicago)
An all encompassing dynamic range of sound, from minimal haunting dirge drone to maximalist harsh noise wall, created with all hand built modular synth units and tape manipulation.
Tarr is the moniker of Philip Kruse (Chicago). Using field recordings and crude electronics to create environments through audio. Along with recording and live performance, Philip also works with installations using audio along with objects and altered surroundings. In the past he has collaborated with Maureen Gubia, Patrizia Oliva, Naofumi Ishimaru (Yximalloo), Genesis P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle), Arnau Sala, and Patrick Murch.

Cornelius F. Van Stafrin III: (Los Angeles/North Carolina)
Vast sculpted noise, organic drone, or deep orchestral groans on a sinking ship, would be descriptions that would get you in the right mind set of the sounds you might expect to hear. All created with reel to reel tape machines, a harmonium, tibetan singing bowls, amongst an array of other sound experiments and hand built instruments.
By Phillafil Gregorious - The Trunk Space - Phoenix AZ "Stop what you're doing. Hear that? That's music, man. At the very least, whatever is within earshot right now (and at all times) is sound. Whether it's the ringing in your ears or the fabric on your body that sings every time you move, there are heaps of fugitive noises awaiting capture. One can also look at it like this: think of sounds as feelings that need to be paid attention to or else they hibernate and eventually die. That's why the sound art of folks such as Cornelius F. Van Stafrin III is so crucial to healthy living on this planet. The sound cultivator showcases found-sound audio that's slowed down, percussion that listens like a kitchen-utensil percussion ensemble, and haunted house-like piano interspersed with skin-crawling bowed cymbals. There are also plenty of meditative drone and feedback arias that sound like chirping crickets. Or are they real crickets? We're not sure. That's the beauty of it.

Saner sent us these amazing photos of his opening last Friday, April 18th at Border Gallery. For his first solo exhibit in his hometown, he created works of art that were intended to be destroyed after 180 minutes.
from the Border Gallery announcement:
"180 minutes Alive" is an artistic and reflexive project structured in 3 murals which relates different unities of time and space.
Each one of these discursive unities tells a story or a relevant event of the author's life. In each mural the artwork is shown presenting different materials, techniques and aesthetics. The interventions can be understood as a collection of memories, an evocation of the sacred, the untouchable, the precious object...
This time, the opening of the show involves its destruction. After 180 minutes of exhibition the artwork will be destroyed. A collection of ephemeral art is shown. The paintings, illustrations and graffiti will only be able to last in the spectator's memory. The art pieces were created with the idea of destruction in Saner's mind which makes them impossible to acquire. Each artwork has some minutes of life, after that time it will be part of a final composition destroyed or performed - it depends on the spectator - in a live act. The fact that this pieces are not "available" makes them free, priceless and of course, without owner.
The results of the destruction performance left "many people confused" according to Saner. There's more photos of the work, the destruction and the crowd on Saner's blog here. May the pieces rest in peace. The exhibit is on view through May15th.
