Make Music New York
Make Music New York is a live, free musical celebration on June 21, the longest day of the year, with over 1,200 concerts on streets, sidewalks, and parks across the five boroughs. Make Music New York Inc. is a NYC-based nonprofit that organizes two annual, participatory musical celebrations: Make Music New York on June 21st, the summer solstice, and Make Music Winter on December 21st, the winter solstice. Now in its eighth year, Make Music New York, “the largest music event ever to grace Gotham” (Metro New York), is a unique festival of 1,000+ free concerts in public spaces throughout the five boroughs of New York City, all on June 21st, the first day of summer. MMNY takes place simultaneously with similar festivities in more than 726 cities around the world — a global celebration of music making. Completely different from a typical music festival, MMNY is open to anyone who wants to take part. From 10 in the morning to 10 at night, musicians of all ages, creeds, and musical persuasions — from hip hop to opera, Latin jazz to punk rock — perform on streets, sidewalks, stoops, plazas, cemeteries, parks and gardens. From high school bands to marquee names, MMNY is open to anyone who wants to take part, enjoyed by everyone who wants to attend. Over 1,000 MMNY concerts have taken place in each of the last four years. The next Make Music New York is on Saturday, June 21, 2014.

Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame with Viola YipVox Novus called for one-minute pieces for solo speaking voice dedicated to Viola Yip for Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame. The works embody creative and adventurous aesthetics for solo speaking voice for the concert. As the speaking voice is the natural instrument of human beings, composers are encouraged to explore what that instrument allows us to express. The theme for these works is"Dedication." Viola Yip, a native of Hong Kong, is a Brooklyn-based composer and performer, who tries to find the boundaries and push the boundaries in her imaginary sound world. As a composer, her compositions are not limited to acoustic music, electronic music, graphic scores and structured improvisation. Recent works appeared in ArtX at Bowling Green State University, Women Composers Festival of Hartford, Ravinia Festival, Fresh Inc Festival, soundSCAPE Festival, TEDXSMU, University of Florida, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, NASA saxophone conference, ThingNY spam v3.0 concert, Quiet City concert, Vox Novus Concert, Musicarama 2012 (Hong Kong) and PAUSA Art House in Buffalo. As a new music advocate, she also performs contemporary works regularly as a pianist and an improviser. Her recent interest falls on using human natural voice as an instrument and explore its expressivity and musicality. Composers selected for this Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame include: Cooke England, Juan Maria Solare, Norbert Hoffmann, David Jason Snow, Emma-Ruth Richards, Fermino Gomes, Wesley Levers, Joshua Hahn, Krystal Grant, Jeffrey Edenberg, Shigeru Kan-no, Samuel Stokes, Christopher Culp, JJ de Azevedo Souza Portugal, and Liburn Jupolli Kosova Sleep Circle For more information visit: http://makemusicny.org/summer-schedule/2014/artists/1420 Circuit Bridges- Make Music New York Saturday, June 21, 2014 at 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM International Preschools 345 E. 86th St, Upper East Side New York, New York 10028 FREE ADMISSION |

Circuit Bridges no.5: From Sitting to StandingThursday, June 26th, 2014 at 7:30 PM“What would you do if you discovered a secret that changed everything?” In the next Circuit Bridges concert ‘From Sitting to Standing,’ Speak Onion and enn{kdog will take a stab at answering that question. Circuit Bridges is an electroacoustic series providing audiences with half a concert of performance of local composers and musicians and the other half with electroacoustic works from visiting electroacoustic composers and sound artists. Based at the Gallery MC in New York City, Circuit Bridges seeks to meld the contemporary works of local composers and musicians with the electroacoustic works from visiting electroacoustic composers and sound artists, blending the work of two uniquely different groups of composers on each concert. This particular Circuit Bridges concert is unique in that it features both a seated and a standing portion to the concert. From Sitting to Standing will present music in both a traditional concert hall setting (where the audience is seated) and in a underground music club setting (where the audience is standing). The audience will move between different rooms in the gallery at specific points in the show to transition between the concert hall and music club settings. This concert will feature performances by two artists from Immigrant Breast Nest: Speak Onion and enn{kdog. As Speak Onion, Dan Abatemarco treads on, then completely explodes, the line between producer and noisician. He spews seething noise, giant deformed beats and absolutely wrong atmospheres in fits and starts until nothing sounds like what it sounds like anymore. Breakbeats and basslines enter innocently but end up processed beyond recognition and drowning in feedback. Synth sounds are stretched, manipulated, and left ruined as chilling shrieks. The resulting sonic abomination slips between the dimensions of experimentalism, harsh noise, and beat-bashed breakcore. Dancefloor? Maybe. Slaughterhouse floor? Yes, definitely. enn{kdog is a Brooklyn based noise group started in 2013. Peter Seligman and James Mercer are the backbone of the group, with contributions by David B. Applegate. enn{kdog began with collaborative remixes of raw Peter Seligman material, but has evolved to a greater specificity through live shows and endless variations on a handfull of pieces. Peter Seligman currently lives in Brooklyn, NY and plays experimental techno under his own name. James Mercer is a visual and sound artist also living in Brooklyn, NY. Mysterious House is his solo digital noise project. Alessandro Perini studied Composition (with Luca Francesconi and Ivan Fedele among others), Electronic Music and Science of Musical Communication in Italy and Sweden. His artistic production ranges from instrumental music to audiovisual and light-based works with a particular focus on the relationship between the sonic and the visual perception. His compositions have been played in Italy, France, Germany, Sweden, Lithuania, Iceland, Russia and Argentina. Gilad Cohen, praised by the Israeli Prime Minister Award Committee for “creating a personal language fusion that has a unique dimension” in music that is “fascinating, vibrant and drawing the ear as well as the heart.” Gilad Cohen is an active composer and performer of concert music, rock and musical theatre. Francesco Maggio studies composition with Ivan Fedele and Giorgio Nottoli. His works have been selected for the performance by Orchestra I Pomeriggi Musicali di Milano, Roma Sinfonietta, Grupo de Musica Contemporanea de Lisboa, Sanremo Orchestra, Contempoartensemble, Musikfabrik, Minguet Quartett, Vocalconsort Berlin, Margit Kern, Patrik Kleemola, and Andrea Pestalozza. Since 2010 is also a composer in residance at Brinkhall Summer Concerts in Turku (Finland). Maggio is living in Stuttgart (Germany). Mitchell Herrmann is a student currently attending Oberlin College and Conservatory, majoring in Music Technology and Cinema Studies. His work has explored the intersections between experimental film and electroacoustic music, with a focus on combining influences from digital animation and acousmatic sound. He currently studies composition with Peter Swendsen, and film with Geoff Pingree. Juan Vasquez, London-based composer and sound artist from Colombia More than 200 performances within the United Kingdom, United States, Italy, Ireland, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. Commissions by the Westminster and Chelsea Hospital / Museum (UK) in partnership with Royal College of Music (UK), the Arts Council through the Wiltshire Museum (UK), Polish Artists in London “PAiL” (UK), the Hilltown New Music Festival (Ireland) and the FEast 2013 (Florida International University, USA). Record deals with Important Records and Ablaze Records. Keith Patchel, Composer Producer Recording Artist. 2010 Composer for Emmy nominated HBO documentary "Finishing Heaven" Winner Best Composer 2011 Manhattan Film Festival for "Crumble" Winner Best Composer 2010 New York International Film Festival for "Crumble." Jerod Sommerfeldt’s music focuses on the creation of algorithmic and stochastic processes, utilizing the results for both fixed and real-time composition and improvisation. His sound world explores digital audio artifacts and the destruction of technology, resulting in work that questions the dichotomy between the intended and unintentional. An active performer as both soloist and collaborator in interactive digital music and live video, he currently serves as Assistant Professor of Electronic Music Composition and Theory at the State University of New York at Potsdam Crane School of Music, and as director of the SUNY-Potsdam Electronic Music Studios (PoEMS).
