OptoSonic [UnLock] (BYOTea), a collaboration with NowNet Arts and Parrish Art Museum, is a community collective, audio-visual live improvisation network event featuring over 50 live visual and live audio artists from around the world coming together from several time zones. Over the course of the 8 hours of the non-stop performance different clusters of several participating video/film and music/sound artists will perform simultaneously. 

The event will take place on Zoom on the viewer’s computer screen. Visual and sonic performers will inhabit the digital environment with a wide variety of techniques, materials and instruments: from celluloid film and slides, lights, video software, puppet-like interventions with objects, movement, to audio synthesizers, laptop programs, electronic devices, acoustic instruments, and vocal approaches.

Microcosmopolitan , a second album from Chatter Blip, her duo with Chuck Bettis, (voices! electronics! nefarious cocktail sipping microorganisms!) -- is newly out on Contour Editions. If you would like to support the work financially, it is now also available on iTunes, and Bandcamp (and Spotify.. )...

However you choose to listen, don't forget to stop by Contour Editions because the liner notes include 2 new poems by Shelley Hirsch, written in response to our sounds (her beautiful wall-writing!) -thank you Shelley!

Also on Bandcamp is their eponymous first CD, (2013 on Acheulian Handaxe label).
