Featuring:
c.h.i.a.k.i.(chiaki watanabe) w/ Dorit Chrysler
Ben Neill w/ Bill Jones
Benton C Bainbridge w/ Bobby Previte's
An evening of performances by three musician/video duos. Bobby Previte’s manic drums, played in real time with no loops or laptops, match VJ veteran Benton-C (Benton Bainbridge), painting with light. Ben Neill will play his hybrid electro-acoustic “mutant trumpet” in the liminal spaces created by video artist Bill Jones’ conjunction of performance and installation art. And composer Dorit Chrysler’s Theremin will join with media artist c.h.i.a.k.i. (Chiaki Watanabe) on muxology v.2, a media project that combines electro-acoustic sound with kinetic images. As if that weren’t enough, a special fourth-set encore will place all six artists onstage in a multi-media super jam.

DC was just sighted riding the aether in Toronto.

Besides the sound, what makes it unique is that it's one of the few instruments that's played without being touched. The player waves his or her hands around two metal antennae, one determining the volume and one determining the pitch, and through the magic of electronics and oscillation, sound is created.
If that sounds just odd enough for you, head over to Mercer Union (37 Lisgar St.) on Sunday at 8 p.m. Theremin player Dorit Chrysler will be performing and leading a workshop on the instrument.
