Y. October 12, 1989 Students march to protest racism by Nathan J. Robinson Amid cries of "Stop the hate, before it's too late," 250 college students, including a group from Marist, marched through the city of Poughkeepsie on Sunday to protest racism. The march followed recent recruitment efforts by the Ku KLux Klan in Dutchess County. Members of Marist's Black Student Union, marching with students from five other colleges, made charges of racism on this campus, but they refused to comment on specific incidents. Students from Vassar College, Dutchess Community College, SUNY New Paltz, Columbia University and Howard University in Washington, D.C., walked hand-in-hand down the city's streets on a 12-mile "March Against Hate," beginning and ending at Vassar. The route took the marchers p st the Dutchess County Jail, where the grand drtfgon of the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana was held earlier in the week. Douglas Tuttle, 24, was arrested October 1 in Fishkill, N.Y., on a weapons charge. Tuttle had been stopped by state police in a routine traf­ fic check, and a loaded handgun and a blackjack were alledgedly found in his car.

  • Blabla Bio Fred Frith
    BlaBla Bio Fred Frith Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and improviser Fred Frith has been making noise of one kind or ano- ther for almost 50 years, starting with the iconic rock collective Henry Cow, which he co-founded with Tim Hodgkinson in 1968. Fred is best known as a pioneering electric guitarist and improviser, song-writer, and composer for film, dance and theater. Through bands like Art Bears, Massacre, Skeleton Crew, Keep the Dog, the Fred Frith Guitar Quartet and Cosa Brava, he has stayed close to his roots in rock and folk music while branching out in many other directions. His compositions have been performed by ensembles ranging from Arditti Quartet and the Ensemble Modern to Concerto Köln and Galax Quartet, from the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra to ROVA and Arte Sax Quartets, from rock bands Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Ground Zero to the Glasgow Improvisers’ Orchestra. Film music credits include the acclaimed documentaries Rivers and Tides, Touch the Sound and Leaning into the Wind, directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer, The Tango Lesson, Yes and The Party by Sally Potter, Werner Penzel’s Zen for Nothing, Peter Mettler’s Gods, Gambling and LSD, and the award-winning (and Oscar-nominated) Last Day of Freedom, by Nomi Talisman and Dee Hibbert- Jones. Composing for dance throughout his long career, Fred has worked with Rosalind Newman and Bebe Miller in New York, François Verret and Catherine Diverrès in France, and Amanda Miller and the Pretty Ugly Dance Company over the course of many years in Germany, as well as composing for two documentary films on the work of Anna Halprin.

  • Fred Frith (Filmmusik)
    Fred Frith (Filmmusik) Geboren 1949 in Heathfield, East Sussex, England. Im Alter 5 Jahren begann Fred Frith mit dem Violinen-Spiel, später kamen das Klavierspiel, mit 13 Jahren die Gitarre hinzu. Während seines Studiums in Cambrige gründete er 1968 mit dem Saxophonisten Tim Hodgkinson die wegweisende Independent-Band Henry Cow, die u.a. mit Chris Cutler, John Greaves und Lindsay Cooper zusammen arbeitete. Nach der Auflösung von Henry Cow ging Frith 1979 nach New York, wo er mit Künst- lern der Downtown-Szene um Tom Cora, Bob Ostertag, Ikue Mori, John Zorn und anderen in Kontakt kam. Die Arbeit von Fred Frith ist seitdem ungewöhnlich vielfäl- tig. Er arbeitete u.a. zusammen mit Amy Denio, Brian Eno, Half Japanese, Material, The Residents, Robert Wyatt, Heiner Goebbels und Yo Yo Ma, produzierte Alben für The Orthotonics, David Moss, Tenko und V- Effec, war Bassist in John Zorns Band Naked City und gründete so unterschiedliche Formationen wie The Guitar Quartett, Massacre (mit Bill Laswell und Charles Hayward) und Skeleton Crew (mit Tom Cora und Zeena Parkins). "Nach mehr als 20 Jahren mit Aufnahmen und Perfor- mances ist Fred Frith so etwas wie die Ikone der Avant- garde Music geworden“ schrieb Die Zeit 1991. „Die Kri- tiker haben ihm Unrecht getan, indem sie ihn als impro- visierenden Cage-Jünger beschrieben... Bei der Anerken- nung der intellektuellen Aspekte seiner Musik dürfen aber nicht die unsterbliche Neugier, der bittere Witz, sein kindlicher Spieltrieb und die schleichende Melan- cholie übersehen werden." In den letzten Jahren verla- gerte sich der Schwerpunkt von Friths Arbeit von der Perfomance hin zur Komposition, dazu kamen zahlrei- che Arbeiten für Theater, Tanz, Film, Malerei und Video.

  • Chris Cutler, Loops Analogiques, Digitales, À L'unisson, Déphasées, Multipistes, Échantillonnées Ou Improvisées. Les Usage
    Culture, le magazine culturel en ligne de l'Université de Liège Chris Cutler, Loops Analogiques, digitales, à l'unisson, déphasées, multipistes, échantillonnées ou improvisées. Les usages que revêtent les boucles musicales sont multiples. Elles se déploient dans les studios d'enregistrement, envahissent les radios, tournent dans les supermarchés, ou accompagnent les jeux vidéo. On les a d'abord entendues chez Pierre Schaeffer et Karlheinz Stockhausen, ou peut-être avant dans les premiers synthétiseurs, voire en appelant les premières horloges parlantes. On les entendait surtout lorsque les disques se rayaient depuis le début du 19 e siècle. Elles ont conquis Steve Reich et Terry Riley, puis Brian Eno et Kraftwerk, Grandmaster Flash et Boards of Canada. Il était même des humains pour les imiter : Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham avec leurs armées de guitares en premier. Boucles et répétitions semblent avoir bel et bien assujetti le monde à l'aube du 21 e siècle. C'est afin d'interroger les multiples usages et sens de la boucle et de distinguer cette structure des autres formes de répétition dans son rapport au temps et à l'espace qu'est né le projet « Understanding the Loop » sous les auspices du CIPA (Centre Interdisciplinaire de Poétique Appliquée). Ce projet prend également en considération de façon historique les techniques et spécificités historiques propres aux différentes formes d'art où on lui reconnaît un rôle prépondérant ; tout comme de rendre compte des manières distinctes de moduler la répétition qui dépassent le simple argument trop souvent avancé de la logique « non linéaire » qui serait mise en place par la boucle.

  • The Unconventional Has Been Conventional For
    Nicolas Collins – Trombone Electronics by Robert Poss ©2007 TapeOp.com What exactly is/are “trombone-propelled electronics?” The backwards guitar pieces were fun to watch because of all those “horny guitars” (as my wife dubbed the highly pronged pawnshop specials that met the under-$50 Collins budget criterium.) “Devil’s Music” almost rocked, and had a vaguely DJ-look that seemed to justify the low-key performance. Then in 1986 or so I started hacking an early, pre-DSP digital reverb - the Stargate from Ursa Major - to do both the live sampling I’d gotten hooked on and some very weird digital signal processing. It sounded cool, but took me back to the Tudor-era minimal knob-twiddling performance style. For reasons of theatre and pedagogy I decided I needed a BIG controller, a HUGE knob, so that the tiny gestures of nudging electronics would visually amplified. I remembered how in early science fiction movies ordinary everyday things like door knobs would be huge - like the wheels on hatches in submarines; then Star Trek substituted tiny keypads and voice response. I wanted to go back to Buck Rogers-scale. I thought, “What I need is a really big slide pot.” I had an old trombone lying around the loft. I took an optical shaft encoder - essentially half a mouse, like the continuous rotation knobs used these days for data entry on synths and control surfaces - and mounted it on the back of the trombone, then ran a retractable dog leash around the encoder’s knob to the slide, so that when I moved the slide the leash would pull in and out, and the knob would turn.
