> DESCRIPTION
Matthias Bossi and Scott Amendola are fed up with each other. The nice
people at 21 Grand have been kind enough to offer them a venue in which
to settle their differences. This gentlemen's disagreement will take
the form of a musical performance called "Comedies for the Young." The
audience will be forced to watch. Whether or not this will lead to an
understanding between the two men is yet to be determined. This absurd
charade will cost the listening public a great deal of money. Carla
Kihlstedt and filmmaker Wellington Bowler bought a couple of Edirol
R-09 digital sound devices and recorded the world while traveling in
2007. Rather than photographing their trips, they used the machines
as a means for the collecting "audio snapshots" of their separate
journeys. Upon returning home, they set up shop with Dan Rathbun at
Polymorph Studios, and assembled their findings into an
audio-travelogue/dreamscape. The resulting piece premiered at the
Music Unlimited Festival in Wels, Austria last winter under the title "CONCURRENCE." This will be its first U.S. audience.
