2002 Aritists in Residence
Awarded Artists:
Andrea Parkins
Andrea Parkins is a composer, sound artist and electroacoustic performer who engages with interactive electronic activities. At Harvestworks she creates Three Rooms In The Memory Palace, a 3-part electroacoustic work reflecting her ongoing exploration of poetic interrelationships between physical/acoustical spaces, objects, and human gesture. The work will be presented at a location divisible into 3 separate acoustical spaces (“Rooms”) with 2 locations designated for multi -channel/multi-diffusion installations, and a third for presentation of a live 20-minute electroacoustic piece, scored for a small ensemble with quad-spatialized electronics.
Joseph Reinsel
Joseph Reinsel will create a DVD that will contain a new multi-movement video and surround-sound work entitled Liminal Presence to be shown in galleries and film festivals. An audio-visual investigation of Baltimore, Maryland where the artist currently resides, each movement will exist as a visual poem on its own, but will also be connected to the other works in the sequence by common themes in the visuals and sound. With his background in music composition, Reinsel creates aural and visual art using digital and analog tools and instruments. He is currently Assistant Professor of Digital Media Arts at College of Notre Dame of Maryland in Baltimore.
Monique Buzzarté
Monique Buzzarté will create an eight-channel surround sound composition scored for twelve pre-recorded parts, of which only eight (nine, if live performance is added) will play during each performance. Each part is made up of dozens of smaller sound files, the order and duration of each being controlled via Max/MSP. The resulting work will have nearly infinite variation, sounding completely different each time it is heard.
Douglas Henderson
“The Nature of the 102nd Thing” is a multi-channel work weaving collaged field recordings of rainfall, glass, wood and railway sounds into the textures of computer synthesized sound. Abstract visual images are sculpted in sound, and the nature of the composition develops from the dictates of a kind of sonic holography. The work will be an invisible but palpable piece of kinetic sculpture and will be presented at Diapason Gallery, NYC, and at the Technischen Universitat Berlin Electronic Music Studio.
Marina Rosenfeld
