SUMMARY:Chris Cutler on Loops : Concert + Lecture
LOCATION:AB Salon - zittend (Steenstraat 11\, 1000 Brussel)
DESCRIPTION:After helping to establish The Ottawa Music Company (a\n22-member rock orchestra) in the early ’70's\, Chris\nCutler became drummer to the legendary avant-rock band Henry\nCow in ’71 (with Fred Frith\, amongst others). For the\nnext 8 years\, Cutler recorded albums\, toured and wrote\npieces for the likes of dance and theatre. In the meantime\,\nhe also established other bands like: Art Bears\, News from\nBabel\, Cassiber\, The (ec) Nudes\, The Science Group and\np53\, and he is a permanent member of Pere Ubu\, Hail and\nThe Wooden Birds.Aside from his work for theatre-\, film-\nand radio-projects\, he has also worked with a whole bunch\nof other artists: Fred Frith\, Zeena Parkins\, Jon Rose\,\nTim Hodgkinson\, David Thomas\, Peter Blegvad\, Daevid\nAllen\, Daan Vandewalle\, Stevan Tickmayer\, Annie\nGosfield\, the Hyperion Ensemble and spectralists Iancu\nDumitrescu and his wife Ana Maria Avram.Chris Cutler is also\na permanent member of The Bad Boys (a Cage\, Stockhausen\,\nFluxus\,… tribute band)\, The Artbears Songbook and What\nRiver\, and he has collaborated with pretty much every big\nname in the improvisation world.Cutler is also founder of\nthe independent ReR Megacorp label\, publisher\, author of\nthe book‘File Under Popular’\, and has also written many\narticles on music(theory).It is at the request of the LMI\nthat Chris Cutler comes to Huis23 to give a reading and play\na set touching on ‘loops’    LOOPS    A loop is glitch\nin time. It’s a zombie sound that keeps coming back. A\nloop is not human\, it’s an artefact of technology. And\nloops are everywhere\, tirelessly repeating themselves to\nanyone who will listen. They seem familiar – but they are\nnot; they are profoundly alien. We mostly don’t notice\nbecause loops are chameleons as well as zombies. And they\ncan do great good – so long as they are taken one\niteration at a time. They can also do great harm - I mean\nprofound\, existential harm – which is why we so often\nassociate them with insanity and death. Neither attribute\n– good nor bad - is anything we can do much about because\nloops are a plain fact in today’s world - and they’re\nnot going anywhere. But we can approach them with caution.\nAnd that’s my topic for this talk. This event is organised\ntogether with the ‘Interuniversity Attraction Pole\nprogram: Literature and Media Innovation’ (LMI). More\ninformation about this interuniversity project can be found\nvia: http://lmi.arts.kuleuven.beThis session is free of\ncharge but the number of seats in Huis 23 is very limited\,\nso please register via reservationshuis23@abconcerts.be\n(making mention of 'cutler' in the subject\ntitle)Links: http://www.ccutler.com/ccutler/
