THREE LEGGED RACE and HELADO NEGRO
Live from Dreamland
Feb. 4, 2015
8 - 10 PM

The son of Ecuadorean immigrants, HELADO NEGRO was born in South Florida in 1980. His childhood was suffused with tropical heat, humidity, hurricanes, all refracted with the rich sounds and colors of the various Latin American cultures of southern Florida. Pounding bass beats from passing cars, boom boxes bouncing down the block, and late-night parties called “peñas” provided a foundation for Helado Negro’s interest in sound and lifelong quest to discover the unlimited variety of objects used to produce music.

Check out the video for HELADO NEGROS’s Invisible Heartbeat”

UNSILENT NIGHT

December 17, 2014
ARTxFM Studio
829 E. Market Street
6:30 PM

Unsilent Night is an original composition by Phil Kline, written specifically to be heard outdoors in the month of December.  It takes the form of a street promenade in which the audience becomes the performer. Each participant gets one of four tracks of music in the form of a cassette, CD, or Mp3.  Together all four tracks comprise Unsilent Night.  The fact that the participants play different "parts" simultaneously helps create the special sound of the piece.  Participants carry boomboxes, or anything that amplifies music, and simultaneously start playing the music.  They then walk a carefully chosen route through their city's streets, creating a uniquemobile sound sculpture which is different from every listener's perspective.

Computers talk to each other all the time, in code and in voltage, almost telepathically and at the speed of light. This is a conversation that excludes those of us unable to read between the lines or who are deaf to this soft music. To live in the world today is to be surrounded by a constant humming, the body electric, the senses extended and transformed by all that we own, all that we have built. We live inside the machines. What does it sound like? Stream in to stress.fm from November 29th - December 1st to find out!

UNSILENT NIGHT
December 15, 2012
Dreamland Plaza. NuLu
6 PM

Unsilent Night is an original composition by Phil Kline, written specifically to be heard outdoors in the month of December.  It takes the form of a street promenade in which the audience becomes the performer. Each participant gets one of four tracks of music in the form of a cassette, CD, or Mp3.  Together all four tracks comprise Unsilent Night.  The fact that the participants play different "parts" simultaneously helps create the special sound of the piece.  Participants carry boomboxes, or anything that amplifies music, and simultaneously start playing the music.  They then walk a carefully chosen route through their city's streets, creating a uniquemobile sound sculpture which is different from every listener's perspective.
