ABOUT FLOW:
experimenting with noise, sound, and image...flow brings you closer
to the edge of dreams than you would normally find yourself in
a waking state. flow provides you with continual sound and vision
with stimulating textures leaving you with a sensation of satiety,
yet a craving for more...flow consists of performances throughout
the evening with a stream of sound and video performed live—a
consistent flow...
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
SATISH began playing trumpet in his school jazz band in Boston,
and much to the dismay of his family he decided to renounce his
education in biology in favor of becoming a musician in New York
City. He began incorporating more and more Indian rhythmic and
harmonic elements into his music, eventually forming a band called
Indofunk. He now plays a very special instrument called the Firebird,
which is a standard trumpet with the addition of a trombone-style
slide, so that he can play traditional Indian "gamakas" (slides,
bends, and other ornaments). Satish plays his Firebird through
multiple sonic effects pedals, allowing him to create a dizzying
array of sounds and textures, and transporting the listener to
ethereal and uncharted soundscapes.
PATRICK TODD is a sound artist who works primarily with electronic
noises to create compositions that border the familiar worlds of
ambient atmospheric music and specific events more akin to Foley
artists. He explores the various textural qualities that are specific
to granular synthesizers and are usually relegated to our modern
age backround soundscape by bringing them forward and putting them
into order. Coming from a visual backround with a masters degree
in fine art, installation, he is acutely aware of the power in
sound to alter our perceptions of the world around us. He has been
working in New York for 10 years and continues to build alliances
through organizing events, most notably flow in collaboration with
Jeremy Slater, an event that explores the noisier elements in sound.

THE ZUVUYA COLLECTIVE is an association of audio and visual artists
who explore the dynamic relationships between time-based media,
immersive installations, physical phenomenon and audio visual alchemy
in order to reveal the hidden interplay between the conscious,
subconscious and collective unconscious. Individual artists participating
include: VJ KA, VJ OHM, VJ BOT and dr.littlefish, who all form
the monthly and popular "LOVE" party at Hotel QT.
Past projects include visuals for Dinosaur Jr and the Flaming Lips,
performances at the Museum of Natural History, Queens Museum of
Art, Monkeytown, Irregular Primes with Amoeba Technologies, Mad
Love at AdHoc Art, Dreams and Nightmares at Issue Project Room.
The Zuvuya Collective features members of the Glassbead Collective
which created live visuals for groups such as Billionaires for
Bush, The War Resisters, Brooklyn Media Lab, GRACE (Global Resource
Action Center for the Environment) at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts
Festival as well as a piece for the WORD_and_WORK section of Volume
No. 9 of ART.ES, a Spanish art magazine published in Madrid.
JEREMY D. SLATER is a sound artist essentially, but also works
with video and sound in performance and installation settings.
Otherwise known as ( ) ... Jeremy uses his laptop computer to create
a variety of sound, image, and interactive work. http://www.parenthesismedia.com http://www.myspace.com/parenthesis
GREGORY REYNOLDS is a musician whose drive to
investigate and explore the dynamics of modern sound making has
shaped his identity as
a performer,
composer, listener, and teacher.
At the root of his practice is a presentation of sound events and
spaces that challenge and re-orient by emphasizing a new relationship
to acoustic phenomena outside the usual context of musical listening.
He endeavors to facilitate an experience of heightened sensitivity
and awareness of physical, architectural, and spiritual qualities.
His main vehicle in these pursuits has been the alto saxophone,
on which for many years he has been developing a variety of techniques
drawing from such influences as water, white noise, cd skips, and
the complex drones of industrial and domestic machinery. For the
past eight years Reynolds has been performing around the US, Canada,
and Japan with a diverse group of dancers and musicians.
Currently, Reynolds is an artist in residence at CAVE artspace
in Brooklyn, NY where he has been very busy collaborating with
an international cast of Butoh dancers in addition to teaching
workshops on improvisation and developing a multi media project
focusing on the horizon and the nature of thresholds. Recently
he has performed and/or curated for the Frequencies NYC festival,
New York Noise! festival, Philadelphia's Something Else More festival,
and the New York International Butoh festival.
SHIGE MORIYA, born in 1967, originally from Kyoto and Kobe, Japan,
is now based in New York. Shige works as an installation artist,
creating large, translucent installations, constructed with filmy
sculptures of transparent fabric. These clusters form a landscape
for projected images of color and light. His videography has been
featured in theater/dance productions, and a substantial amount
of his work is performed live in an interdisciplinary environment,
often in collaboration with musicians, dancers and other visual
artists. His work has been presented in Japan, Finland, Vietnam,
Germany and the US. Initially working as an assistant curator at
the Cast Iron Gallery in Soho (1993), he went on to co-found CAVE
three years later. Curator of the gallery program of CAVE for the
last 10 years, much of his time has been devoted to supporting
and presenting the work of emerging visual/multi-disciplinary artists.
Moriya is co-curator of the New York Butoh Festival and a core
member of GARNICA LEIMAY AcTS LAB and CAVEnsemble. http://caveartspace.org
DANIEL IGLESIA creates music and media for humans, computers, and
broad interactions of the two. He works with live manipulations
of sound, with notions of automation and algorithmic composition,
the magnification of inherent chaos in sounds, and real-time performance
with traditional instruments. His works have taken the form of
audio and video performance, instrumental works with live electronics,
gallery installations, and collaborations with theater and dance.
His work has been presented in such diverse venues as Lincoln Center,
Eyebeam Gallery, The Stone, Ontological-Hysteric Theatre, Merce
Cunningham Studio, Roulette, the Public Theater, the Delancey,
and international festivals in the U.S., France, and Spain.
