Amazing night with Anne-F Jacques/AJ Cornell of Quebec, Adrian Wood (VA) and Chris Delaurenti and Lyn Goeringer (Balt!). Expect inventions, electro-acoustics, analog synths, radios, cassettes, theremins, noises, abstractions, motors, machines………

A gleaner of sonorities, AJ Cornell transforms and transmits sonic material over radio channels and through live performance. Her approach employs dense layers of macro and micro sounds evolving over long periods of time, as well as moments of rupture and détournement. She composes and designs sound for moving images, and is a member of Le fruit vert.

Lyn Goeringer & Chris DeLaurenti
Lyn and Chris improvise together with a collection of unusual electronic instruments and devices.

Lyn Goeringer is a composer, sound artist, improvisor, and performer who makes her own instruments and multi-media pieces that focus on the unusual and everyday with sound, video, and electronics. Their work relies on intense focus and attention to bring the listener to a point of intentional hearing—a world where unusual objects bring haunting soundscapes to life, and everyday objects become sonic in ways we do not usually get the opportunity to hear. Informed by reductionism and essentialism in improvisation and compositional practice, her works investigate individual sounds and images, giving them the time and space they need for their inner complexity to rise to the surface.

Chris DeLaurenti performs with oddball electronics and activated objects in tandem with commercial and customized sound software. You will hear gossamer electromagnetic fields, lyrical system noise, unusual acoustic phenomena, and location recordings culled from his 25-year archive.
