Brian Siskind inside “Airshaft (to Piranesi)”

 

Musician, composer, producer and Theatre Intangible participant Brian Siskind collaborated with renowned multimedia artist Ana Maria Tavares in a new installation at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. The four-sided immersive video Airshaft (to Piranesi) is the centerpiece to Tavares’ exhibition Deviating Utopias. This is a HUGE deal, and if you consider yourself a supporter of Nashville experimental and electronic artists, you need to experience this collaboration.

The Frist page has the details:

The centerpiece of this exhibition is [Tavares’] four-sided immersive video, Airshaft (to Piranesi), 2008, comprising sequences of elaborate interiors as seen from multiple perspectives in constant motion.

Tavares’s immersive video is accompanied by Nashville composer Brian Siskind’s Niterói, water that hides. This sonic collage brings together mid-century/post-war orchestral vinyl, recontextualized into a dark, deep, and teeming sound environment.

Ana Maria Tavares: Deviating Utopias closes January 12th, 2014.

Stream Brian’s Niterói, water that hides below and purchase a limited edition cd at Brian’s Bandcamp.

Brian performed on Theatre Intangible episode 77, Elsewhere. Download or stream it here.

An Evening of Experimental, Ambient, and Space music at Brick Factory Nashville

Folks, I’m incredibly excited to announce this TIM KAISER show at Brick Factory. When I sought out other artists for the bill, I decided to aim high and ask a dream list. To my ecstatic surprise, they all said yes!

TIM KAISER (Duluth, MN) – Instrument designer extraordinaire and ambient experimental wunderkind. Ask anyone who has seen Tim perform live, and they’ll tell you he is not to be missed! Tim was featured on Make TV. Check out the video below.

GERBER & GERBER (Tony Gerber & Todd Gerber, Nashville) – Space music pioneers and Nashville music scene trailblazers. A rare treat to see the brothers Gerber performing together!

GOOD RESTER (Brian Siskind, Andy Alexander, Jason Goforth, Nashville) – New York producer and beat-maker Brian Siskind’s ambient project. Brian recently performed a solo commission at Houston’s famed Rothko Chapel.

AETHER JAG (Nashville) – Circuit bender and instrument designer Bridget Venuti’s textural noise soundscapes.
