I design site-specific projects involving carpentry, film/video, crafts media and running water for museums, neighborhoods , schools and public places. Occasionally I also produce site-generated performances in urban and rural landscapes. I've recently founded a small company called RIVEROPOLIS that produces interactive water play furniture and equipment for us in public art and education contexts.

Comments
We are always on the verge of the next movement, breath, gesture,
cycle."
In this series of kinetic sculptures, glass in animated,
demonstrating its affiliations with light, water, and air. Employing an
unusual combination of glass, steel, motors, and fabric, the visual
vocabulary speaks in the language of the sciences, the
natural world and contemplative practice. The mesmerizing waves
evoke both seascape and landscape in a subtle erotic dance. The pieces
invite viewers to not only look, but to connect to their own rhythms of
heartbeat and breath.

Tinta Verde
New Latin American music for the film ¡PABLO NERUDA. ¡PRESENTE. drawing from the musical roots of the Americas, incorporating jazz ideals with South American instruments and rhythms. The album is named "Tinta Verde," after the green ink in which Neruda wrote his poems.
The suite is composed in four parts with a flower at its center. The first part begins with Tinta Verde, in Neruda's southern Chile; a land of rain, forests, volcanoes, and lakes. This music is inspired by the Mapuche people, displaced from their land, still struggling to recover it.

Joshua Fried
http://composer.home.acedsl.com
I focus on the unique, un-repeatable MOMENT. Machines help me exalt the here-and-now of a performance--one that is in some cases live, in other cases recorded. John Cage asked us to open our musical ears wide, so wide that all sound is included. I might be doing the opposite: I'll take any sound and funnel it down to the width that our ears are right now, today. This is why I treat the chance material with the simplest of transformations: framing, repetition, transposition, basic patterning. New Project: use computer, old shoes and giant wheel to transform found bits of live commercial FM radio, into funky, well-built musical structures-- LIVE. Powerbooksubverts pop.

Arnold Hammerschlag
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/hammerschlag
Trumpeter, composer, improvisor; jazz with classical and new music influences; the
objective is to bring improvisation, composition and acoustic sensibilities together into
pieces that come off like paintings or theater pieces; subtle blending of many styles into a
cohesive whole.

Updates:I'm delighted to let you know that my work in progress, Maurice Remembered, a chamber opera for baritone/pianist with electronic sound, is now featured on the USA Projects website. USA Projects is a non-profit "microphilanthropy" organization that hosts artists to assist them in their fundraising goals by soliciting donations from individuals to support specific artworks. They have given me the chance to raise $6000 to support the continued creation of Maurice Remembered. This is a unique opportunity for me, because the USA Projects website allows me to showcase my work, and invite your support for it. You can donate any amount -- as little as $1 -- and all donations are tax-deductible. I have until August 10th to meet my fundraising goal, and I feel confident that with your support this will be possible.

Maurice Remembered is based on the novel Maurice by E. M. Forster, and pays homage to another "Maurice" -- composer Maurice Ravel -- by making musical references to some of his works. I'm writing it for a very unique artist, my good friend Tommy Otten, who is not only a world-class pianist but also an accomplished vocalist. Tommy and I are both very excited about this project, and look forward to sharing information about it with you.

So to learn more about Maurice Remembered, please visit my USA Projects page, where you can read a thorough description of the piece, see a video I made about it, hear work samples, join a list of followers, and donate to the project. http://www.unitedstatesartists.org/project/maurice_remembered

Comments: My work springs from forgotten details of the historical past. Scientists once believed swallows hibernated at the bottom of lakes; Russian monks aboard a ship in the arctic claimed they saw Judas Iscariot adrift on an ice floe; Harlem was a savanna not too long ago, and PT Barnum hosted a buffalo hunt in Brooklyn. What was in those 18th century scientists’ cabinets? Who were those monks and what could they have been doing in the arctic? What manner of wildlife wandered the Harlem grasslands? I catch details that flash with poetic possibility and harness the imaginative worlds that spring up around them. I build novels for these worlds to live in.
updates: My novel, AMONG THE WONDERFUL, will be published by Steerforth Press in August 2011.
