Michael Pisaro A room outdoors (James Orsher, harmonium; Michael

Pisaro, guitar)



"A room outdoors" was composed for James Orsher. I was reading Ron

Loewinsohn's incredible novel, "Magnetic Field(s)," at the time I was

working on the piece this summer, and came across the description of a

living room, made of discarded furniture, somewhere in the woods in

the Hudson Valley. I began to wonder if tones from musical

instruments could function like boundaries in a sonic thicket. The

field recording used in this performance was made in the vicinity of

Sandpaper Books.



Michael Pisaro is director of the Experimental Music Workshop, a

member of the Wandelweiser Composers' Ensemble, and Co-Chair of Music

Composition at the California Institute of the Arts near Los Angeles.

He is a Foundation for Contemporary Arts, 2005 and 2006 Grant

Recipient.

10/19/06> discovery tour = Edith Abeyta/Arroyo Arts Collective

Edith Abeyta is an installation artist residing in Los Angeles. She

has shown locally and nationally, receiving a public arts commission

from the Regional Arts and Culture Council of Oregon. She co-founded

and co-operated an artist run gallery and currently is on the board of

the Arroyo Arts Collective. Her art explores the undisclosed

narratives that salvaged and scavenged objects inherently contain.

Taking scissors to discarded mattresses, saws to cast away furniture,

stooping to investigate bits of found paper she combines the

re-purposing of post-consumptive artifacts with traditional women's

craft methods to investigate various aspects of production and

consumption.

Collective open studio & gathering
