> 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.
