Music by the Eyeful: Inventions in Visual Audio with Jean-Luc Sinclair [encoded form] / Bridget Batch [physical form] (NY), Agnes Szelag with The Norman Conquest and bLakcPulletGrimoire

Bridget is performing from her collaboration with Jean-Luc to create live film-music interpretations of Musiques pour Cultes, an ongoing body of work that includes soundscapes and atmospheres written for the purpose of sonic and personal discovery. Parisian-born Sinclair is an electronic composer who studied with Morton Subotnik, among others, at California Institute of the Arts. Composing almost entirely with C-Sound and Java, Sinclair often uses music generated by bio-rhythmic processes. American-born, internationally-exhibited photo and digital artist Batch’s varied projects often relate to intimate, internal responses to the onslaught of contemporary, over-stimulated culture.

Agnes is a composer, performer, and video/installation artist presenting new work in progress with collaborator The Norman Conquest (Dokuro). Her work explores the cognitive and aesthetic relationship of sound and visual media in chosen environments. In performance and composition she creates interactive schemes that ride the line between composition and improvisation. All of her work deals with transformation.

bLakcPulletGrimoire is the latest project of sound artist Wayne Grim. Using guitar, electronics and video, loops, feedback and environments, to summon a djinn and lead the audience in a metal doom noise drone of "Nades, Suradis, Maniner".
