Norman Westberg - The Chance To
LCR Records - LCR010
Release date: 1st December 2017
www.littlecrackdrabbit.co.uk/lcr010.html

'The Chance To' is the new album by Norman Westberg, perhaps best known for his guitar playing in Swans but now making a name for himself with long-form ambient guitar works. Many listeners have noted the depth and subtlety of Westberg’s compositions and the four new tracks on ‘The Chance To’ are no exception. They have a rare ability to echo both the clarity of minimalism and the maximal intensity of the best overdriven rock bands. Much patience and care is taken with his sounds and, fundamentally, there is always a lightness of touch to Westberg’s work.

Human Savagery
Multi-channel Audio-Visual Performance, Installation, Film & Photography Series

Human Savagery pairs Bible's powerful & moving, symphonic ambient compositions with his vivid ultra-HD aerial cinematography – which contrast the alien beauty of untouched mountains and desert landscapes with the chemical violence of EPA Superfund sites ravaged by industry. Bible has visited sites across the United States to create this footage, capturing a gripping snapshot of humanity’s often unseen footprint on this planet.

In August 2017 Bible premiered select works from Human Savagery on 8 channels & accompanied by a live string trio to a sold out audience at Transformer Station Contemporary Art Space in Cleveland, Ohio. In support of Human Savagery, Bible will be presenting select live audio-visual performances and installation exhibitions of the work beginning June 2018.

“The immersive, other-worldly sounds and lush and majestic imagery in Human Savagery by Jeremy Bible enter the body's cells and vibrate the heart and mind. To experience this performance is to be transported to an alternate world within the existing world.” - Laura Bidwell / Transformer Station

“Experimental musician and installation artist Jeremy Bible has an incredible sense of space...” - npr.org

Jeremy Bible is an American transdisciplinary artist focused on the intersection of sound and light. Taking cues from his background in field recording and photography, his work occupies a shared space between multi-channel audio-visual installation and compositional practice. Utilizing acousmatic sonic diffusion techniques, Bible strives to construct an environmental experience that is at turns profoundly sensory and beautifully surreal.

Through a fusion of angular electronics and immersive ambience, Bible invites listeners to explore an eco-futurist environment that challenges the established topographies of time and linearity. His sculptural soundtracks range in tone from meditative to jarring, creating a dynamic accompaniment to the visual components of each performance. As long, lingering shots of sweeping landscapes and panoramic vistas merge into one another, Bible’s sound design helps us see these familiar terrestrial forms in a renewed and alien light.

Bible’s works have been presented at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Akron Art Museum and MOCA, as well as numerous other events, galleries and festivals over the course of his 20-year creative activity.

Touch Radio 134 - Live At Iklectik [excerpt]

The Listening Body is a new collaborative project by sound artists and musicians Steven Mclnerney and Pascal Savy. Together they seek to investigate alternative ways of presenting their drone work and question the relationship between performer and audience in the context of the space in which sound and music are experienced.

The project stems from their respective practices of performing experimental music in traditional and less traditional concert venues, where the divide between stage and audience enforces the expectation of a spectacle that more often that not fails to materialise. With The Listening Body they seek to dissolve the binary nature of the concert space by asking the audience to lie on the floor and cover their eyes with sleep masks, as their sound work will be diffused throughout the room. In doing so they hope the audience can use the entire bodies as resonant sensors and reclaim the here and now of the performance as a space for direct and felt experience.

Steven McInerney will lead a sonic meditation using ancient and contemporary techniques with gongs, singing bowls and other idiophones. The symphony of sounds will allow a sense of deep relaxation which can be effective in reducing stress levels and tensions within the body. Through the process of entrainment, the phenomenon whereby both physical and biological systems synchronise their rhythm through the interaction of an external stimulus, the gong space will affect the individual on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. These meditation instruments will be played intuitively with the highest intent to safely guide the group into the deep states of consciousness.

Pascal Savy will explore the interaction between sound, body and physical space with a new minimal composition at the intersection of drone, ambient and noise music diffused on a large quadraphonic sound system, and will seek to investigate the possibilities of experiencing sound where the entire body can act as an extended listening device triggered by the resonant properties of the room in which the work is presented. He hopes that experiencing sound as a continuum of physical vibrations mediated by the body, rather than the ear alone, will catalyse within participants a sense of physicality that is more perceptual than affective, as a way to make music a fully embodied experience. Ultimately his performance will seek to question why sound more than other experiential mode of investigations can reveal something fundamental about the ephemeral nature of reality.
