Bart Bell is a Paris-based composer and sound artist working at the intersection of drone, electroacoustic and experimental music. Centered around a resonant metal instrument and electronics, his work explores resonance, texture and tension, creating immersive sonic landscapes that evolve between minimalism and intensity.

Bart Bell

Anna Johnson unites electroacoustic improvisation with backgrounds in medieval folk traditions and sacred music. Vocal expression is at the gravitational center of her layered sound, a portal to embodied, emotional presence. Based in drone and hypnotic repetition, her work offers a ritualistic experience: one that navigates intensities, through shifting terrains of tension and heaviness toward moments of release, from an internal space into a shared catharsis. Anna’s performances integrate projection installations of her textural moving images, made from prismatic abstractions of light through magnified miniature cameras. In all creative modalities, she is drawn to the meeting points between personal and mythical, present and ancient

Gil Kuno has been challenging the boundaries of various media since the introduction of the Internet. Gil’s Unsound.com [1994] was an early crowd sourcing web experiment (which received a recommendation from Timothy Leary.) In 1996, he created Wiggle, the world’s first Internet band, then the guitar deconstruction project Six String Sonics, The (featured in the Fringe Festival in NYC) in 2004.

Endless Season (Daniel Carter & Ayumi Ish*to):
DANIEL CARTER Ayumi Ish*to
Endless Season is the transcendent duo project featuring legendary multi-instrumentalist Daniel Carter and flourishing saxophonist Ayumi Ish*to. Since collaborating in 2016, the pair has redefined the “auditory escape,” blending acoustic roots with an invigorating electronic dreamscape.
In their debut album (released on 577 Records), Ish*to’s courageous audio production and playful tenor saxophone meet Carter’s masterful expressions on trumpet, clarinet, flute, and piano. Described as a “tranquil, melodic dialogue,” their music weaves together blissful ambiance and deep, nature-inspired soundscapes. As a rising leader in New York’s avant-garde scene, Ish*to joins forces with the philosophical innovator behind 577 Records to create a cosmic, genre-bending experience that represents the future of creative music.

Synesthesia is pleased to present chips of topaz from the master himself Don Alman.
What is a cibachrome?
What is a serenade in blue?
You have to come in person or you can’t see it true.

Don managed to understudy with Lenore Davis of the NY Times, Nathan Farb, Amy Stromsten, Martha Rosler, & George Tice back in the prime days of analog. Having worked in several labs as a pro printer, he broke off on his own in the hayday of dog-eat-dog, quality-over-obscurity, “Absolutely Custom” printing.

He made hay for Annie Liebovitz, Fred Conrad of the NY Times, Peter B. Kaplan, Al Satterwhite, Gilles Larrain, Brian Ashley White & Bill King. He seldom admits his prowess but it oozes off him the minute you ask him about mission or technique.

In the biz he made a living assisting Richard Lovrich of Rapid Eye Movement, Steve Ladner & M. Lorrain. He caught assignments shooting such subjects as Space Shuttle launches, studio fashion for Vogue Magazine, Album covers, & period fashion for Victoria Magazine.

Don, over the years, has worked in multiple photographic supply houses, most notably helming the used dept at K&M forever, taking care of the needs of fellow photographers, and even teaching fledglings our way to fall. Hats off to Don tonight and always.

Please be our guest to see his magnificent B&W’s printed large. And if you have a developed palate, come for his exquisite cibachromes, a rare delicacy which, if you don’t know what it is, you can’t learn about from looking at pictures unless they are in the flesh, something no data or digifile can adequately copy, only to be understood in flagranti. Magnificent.

See you there.
