For over 35 years, Rosenberg has been at the sharp end of new, improvised, and experimental music and media. A polymath, Rose is at much at home creating large environmental multi-media works as he is playing the violin on a concert stage. Central to this practice has been 'The Relative Violin' project, a unique output, rich in content, realising almost everything on, with, and about the violin and string music in general. Most celebrated is the worldwide Fence project; least known are the relative violins created specifically for and in Australia. Part of this performance will be a video / violin performance from this project. Rose is also a famous free-improvisor: he has appeared on over 60 albums, and worked with artists such as Kronos Quartet, Derek Bailey, Fred Frith, Shelley Hirsh, Chris Cutler, Otomo Yoshihide, KK Null, Alvin Curran, Evan Parker, Phil Minton, John Cage, Tony Oxley, Steve Beresford, Eugene Chadbourne, Bob Ostertag, Jim Denley, Elliott Sharp, George Lewis, Christian Marclay, Toshinori Kondo, Joelle Leandre, Frances-Marie Uitti, Barre Phillips, and John Zorn. Rose has had a long and rich history with Baltimore experimental music, having performed many times at the Red Room, High Zero, and in collaboration with Baltimore improvisors. He will peform solo and with Baltimore improvisors that will be annouced here in the coming months. In this concert he will play solo and in free improvising ensemble with Neil Feather (inventions), Susan Alcorn (pedal steel), and Dan Breen (drums)--a super group of unusual Baltimore improvisors. at The Red Room 425 E. 31st St. Baltimore Md 21218 <a href="http://www.redroom.org" target="_blank">www.redroom.org</a> Market - Video Studio for Rent http://www.beatbots.com/board/YaBB.pl?num=1357147040/0#0 Beatbots Message Board/Market http://www.beatbots.com/board/YaBB.pl?num=1357147040/0#0 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 12:17:20 +0000 Video studio available for day, evening and weekend rentals.

Events - Three great experimental events at the Red Room this weekend in Baltimore (Starting 11/30) http://www.beatbots.com/board/YaBB.pl?num=1354062564/0#0 Beatbots Message Board/Events http://www.beatbots.com/board/YaBB.pl?num=1354062564/0#0 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 19:29:24 +0000 Three great events at The Red Room this weekend: 1. Friday: Night of Solos with six great improvisors (Kelvin Pittman, Will Schorre, Jesse Haas, Beth Brown, Peter Tran, Derrick Michaels) 2. Saturday: Flandrew Fleisenberg + Neil Feather / Peter B 3. Sunday: Volunteers Collective open session Details below... ------------------------------ Friday 11/30/12, 8:30, $5 A NIGHT OF SOLOS featuring emerging Baltimore artists The Red Room continues its mission to spotlight inspired local emerging artists with a night of experimental solos, featuring: Kelvin Pittman - Saxophone Will Schorre - Synthesizer Jesse Haas - Saxophone (break) Beth Brown - Electronics Peter Tran - Guitar Synthesizer Derrick Michaels - Saxophone Short solo sets by an extremely varied and spirit group of emerging improvisors that come highly recommended by the Red Room. ------------------------------ Saturday, December 1st, 8:30, $6 Flandrew Fleisenberg and Neil Feather | Peter B A duo of unconventional improvisors: Neil Feather and Flandrew Fleisenberg. Making new friends is a major part of the Red Room related festival High Zero. Feather and Fleisenberg hit it off and decided they needed to play together. So, tonight two men with great enthusiasm for experimental music willfully collaborate to make some of the wobbliest, the buzziest, the clangiest, and the boingiest music that has ever happened at the Red Room. PB: Peter Blasser plays the Plumbutter. This same night, you can see Peter Blasser performing on his brand new, handmade-for-your-Holliday-gifting, drum and drama machine: Plumbutter. For a preview of what this instrument can do, see his website. ... Bios: Flandrew Fleisenberg plays percussion on an assortment of everyday ephemera and modified drum parts that he has reduced and eroded through a process of playing and breaking them. A graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston with a focus in conceptual art, he is musically self-taught and has developed a cadre of idiosyncratic techniques that are all his own. Flandrew has been involved in the improvised and creative music community since 2001 performing solo, in ad-hoc improv groupings and in set projects. Additionally, he organizes an ongoing series of performances at the flopera house in Boston. lifeoffleisenberg.blogspot.com Sound Mechanic Neil Feather has been creating radical and unusual musical instruments for thirty years, and is increasingly known outside of Baltimore as one of the most original musical thinkers of his day. His instruments each embody uniquely clever acoustic and engineering principles, and are visually arresting. The music he plays on the instruments is equally original, embodying new principles and resulting in a nearly alien idiom of music. A founding member of THUS and THE OFFICIAL PROJECT, as well as the leader of AEROTRAIN, he has a long history of collaborative projects and solo concerts. <a href="http://www.neilfeather.org/" target="_blank">www.neilfeather.org/</a> Peter Blasser was introduced to "the maestro" in a fourth grade assembly. This kind conductor of the micro-kid band introduced the wind instruments available and Peter chose the tuba because it was the least practical. His parents put up with its bellows until high school when he diversified to banjo. Unallowed to purchase an Ud, Peter built one in the basement, thus beginning his career of "I will interface with reality by building a sound object". ------------------------------ Sunday, December 2nd, 7:00, Free The Volunteers Collective (Open Session/Workshop for free improvisation) Anyone with a serious interest in free improvisation is invited to attend and play. Inpiring, hard, non-competative.

Doors @8pm, films @9pm The Windup Space 12 W. North Ave. FREE! All films will be screened on 16mm. ... Total Running Time: 63 minutes. FILMS: PIXILLATION By Lillian Schwartz 1971, 3 minutes “With computer-produced images and Moog-synthesized sound, Pixillation is in a sense an introduction to the electronics lab. Its forms are handsome, its colors bright and appealing, its rhythms complex and inventive." - Roger Greenspun, N. Y. Times. Moog sound by Gershon Kingsley. Pixillation won the Red Ribbon Award for Special Effects from The National Academy of Television, Arts & Sciences in 1971. MOTHLIGHT By Stan Brakhage 1963, 3 minutes A "found foliage" film composed of insects, leaves, and other detritus sandwiched between two strips of perforated tape. This handmade and optically printed masterpiece still holds mesmerizing pull years after its initial release. DAYBREAK EXPRESS By D.A. Pennebaker 1953, 5 minutes Silhouettes at dawn set to a score by Duke Ellington capture the beautiful freneticism of 1950s New York City in this early example of cinéma-verité. Pennebaker writes, “I wanted to make a film about this filthy, noisy train and its packed-in passengers that would look beautiful.” RIVER LETHE By Amy Kravitz 1985, 7 minutes In this film named after the river of forgetfulness leading to the underworld, drawings are created from non-traditional animation media including rubbed and erased graphite, pigment, and aluminum powders to make a surface of unusual richness. 7362 By Pat O’Neill 1967, 9 minutes Incorporating footage of oil derricks in Venice, California and nude models filmed in the artist’s studio, this colorful, optically printed animation features kaleidoscopic shapes reminiscent of a Rorschach test. Synthesizer score by Joseph Byrd. RENDEZVOUS By Claude Lelouch 1976, 9 minutes A single travelling shot through France in the early morning. This cinéma-verité classic is hypnotic, finding beauty in the monotonous forward momentum of the road. DREAM OF THE WILD HORSES By Denys Columb Daunant 1960, 9 minutes Wild horses fight, gallop through water, and run through raging fire in slow motion set to a dreamy synth score. GUACAMOLE By Chick Strand 1976, 10 minutes An experimental ethnographic film featuring Venezuela distinctive for its complex layering of sound and image and the juxtaposition of found footage and sound with original images. ALLURES By Jordan Belson 1961, 8 minutes Belson, a visual musician, creates an abstract film richly woven with cosmological imagery, exploring consciousness, transcendence, and the nature of light itself. “I think of Allures as a combination of molecular structures and astronomical events mixed with subconscious and subjective phenomena – all happening simultaneously. The beginning is almost purely sensual, the end perhaps totally nonmaterial. It seems to move from matter to spirit in some way.” - Belson Programmed by Meg Rorison, Lorenzo Gattorna, & Kate Ewald Market - Need to get some shirts screened http://www.beatbots.com/board/YaBB.pl?num=1332170640/1#1 Beatbots Message Board/Market http://www.beatbots.com/board/YaBB.pl?num=1332170640/1#1 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 10:15:58 +0000 I could recommend a few places depending on how many shirts, # number of colors, etc. Market - MORE/001 Pre Orders http://www.beatbots.com/board/YaBB.pl?num=1337791391/0#0 Beatbots Message Board/Market http://www.beatbots.com/board/YaBB.pl?num=1337791391/0#0 Wed, 23 May 2012 12:43:11 +0000 <img src="http://cache1.bigcartel.com/product_images/59711027/300.jpg" alt="" border="0" /> MORE/001: Full Support.

It's a position he treats with the utmost care and respect—and one that stands him among the hallowed company of contemporary techno's leading practitioners. Hailing from Napoli in the south of the country, Marco was among a small group of DJs and promoters who quite literally built the city's scene from scratch back in the early-'90s. In 1995's First Planet EP he became the first Neopolitan artist to commit techno to vinyl, paving the way for an entire generation of producers. These days Marco is a mainstay of Richie Hawtin's Minus and Plus 8 labels, who, much like Marco himself, are one of the driving forces behind techno's permeation of the worldwide dance scene. Napoli, 1993, and the enduring flame of the Italo house sound had begun to smolder. The young DJ Marco Carola had at this point been spinning house music for a number of years— but as commercial club music began to assert a stranglehold over Italy, and the hopelessly insular media of the country's north continues to shun the south, a change is afoot. Fuelled by a groundswell of local DJs, clubbers and promoters; visits from DJs like Richie Hawtin and Jeff Mills; and Napoli's long held propensity for underground music, the city's techno scene enters into its embryonic stage. Marco along with friends Davide Squillace, Gaetano Parisio, Danilo Vigorito, Rino Cerrone and Random Noize are at the vanguard of this early movement, and with no one outside of the city to take cues from, the Neopolitan scene becomes a force unto itself. If they're doing their job properly every DJ will have a calling card, and as Marco puts it, he was "born" with a three-deck style of mixing. This fast and furious approach also lent itself to use of a sampler, which would later provide the grounding for Marco's work as a producer. By 1995 he had amassed a considerable body of music, but with no indigenous labels to put-out his creations, Marco was forced to take matters into his own hands. Design Music was set up with a humble aim: for people to experience the music of Marco Carola. But as sales on its initial release, First Planet, entered into the tens of thousands and Sven Vath became an ardent early supporter, it was clear Design, and by extension Carola, were set for far bigger things. Aiding this ascent was Marco's concise approach to the release of music. The remainder of the '90s saw him establish the Zenit, Question and One Thousand labels—all with a clear musical aim, and, in the case of the latter, a defined number of releases. In 1998 he relocated to Frankfurt in order to further his advancement in the burgeoning techno scene. This new home base unlocked myriad opportunities for him to export his now famous three-deck style to clubs across the globe, although by 2001 he was already seeking a fresh challenge and thusly moved on to the electronic music stronghold of London. In retrospect the year proved to be pivotal. Marco released his second album, Open System (following on from 1998's The 1000 Collection), to widespread critical acclaim. Key German publication Groove deemed its multifarious, texturally rich approach to broken beats, techno and electronica worthy of their album of the year accolade. Renewal: for a 20-year veteran such as Marco, shedding your creative skin and following your instincts are fundamental means of remaining relevant. By 2004 he had reached a plateau of sorts, and was torn. The harder techno sound he'd been pushing for so many years had elevated him to the scene's top tier, but inside he harboured a burning desire for musical upheaval; a lust for refinement, to slow things down and get back to the groove. Now residing back in Napoli, Marco began a process of reinvention, starting with a focus on bookings at smaller clubs with more underground sensibilities that better suited his new, more considered style and offered the opportunity to hone it over the course of longer, extended sessions. Domestic Minimal Noise was set-up as a bridge between the Marco Carola of old and new, evidenced by the label's pacey yet undoubtedly funk-fuelled output. The encapsulation of this transformation came a couple of years later, however, as Marco reneged on his stance of not recording mix CDs (he always felt his three-deck, club-ready style was inappropriate for the form) and agreed to contribute to London club fabric's seminal mix series. Fabric 31 was a lesson in sleek, future-facing minimalism. The disc introduced Marco to an entirely new audience and clearly illustrated an artist revelling in a fresh creative perspective. 2007's Apena would also prove to be hugely significant. The release heralded his first collaboration with Richie Hawtin's Plus 8/Minus stable. This family environment has since established a platform from which Marco has been encouraged to express himself with unbridled creative freedom. The most widely recognized example of this was 2008's undeniable earworm "Bloody Cash" which garnered Plus 8 with one of that year's biggest techno tracks. Both Minus and Plus 8 have continued to host his 12-inch productions at regular intervals (Plus One, Plus Two and Walking Dog to name a few), and in 2M Marco has been granted his own sub-label (strictly limited to 2000 copies per release) to curate as he sees fit. Ibiza has become more and more of a key destination for Marco through the years, and in 2010 this was solidified by his residency at Cocoon's Monday night Amnesia sessions. Party ringleader Sven Vath showed further faith in Marco by asking him to mix Cocoon's Party Animals CD alongside Nick Curly, building on the foundations laid down by Marco's double-disc Time Warp 2009 mix, which married the deeper house end of his range with his now trademark groove-ridden techno.

The influence of the German club scene is apparent in “The Most Certain Sure,” while “AM/FM” has a definite New Order tinge.

Saturday, March 31st, 2012 -- $6 MARCH 31: John Michael Greer Talks at Philosophers' Union Series at Red Room :: $6 doors 8:30pm On March 31, 2012, The Red Room's acclaimed Philosophers' Union series continues with a talk by one of America's most well known occultists. John Michael Greer (b. 1962 in Bremerton, Washington) is an American author, independent scholar, historian of ideas, cultural critic, Neo-druid leader, Hermeticist, environmentalist/conservationist, blogger, novelist, and occultist/esotericist who currently resides in Cumberland, Maryland after living in Ashland, Oregon for a number of years. He currently serves as the Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America, a position he has held since 2002. His first book, Paths of Wisdom, a study of the Golden Dawn system of Qabalah, was published in 1996. Greer is the author of more than twenty books on a wide range of subjects, including The Long Descent: A User's Guide to the End of the Industrial Age, The Ecotechnic Future: Exploring a Post-Peak World, and the forthcoming The Wealth of Nature: Economics As If Survival Mattered. Greer's works have included explorations of UFO phenomena as well as multiple titles on Druidism and Western esoterica. He has also written extensively about "peak oil" and other forms of expected resource shortages which he believes will eventually bring about fundamental changes in many societies around the world for generations to come. In addition Mr. Greer maintains an interest in historical hermetic philosophical teachings. This historical interest led him to translate the Historic rapier treatise of Girard Thibault. Mr. Greer has taught several classes on the philosophical and practical teachings of Girard Thibault in partnership with the fencing school Academia Duellatoria. At the Red Room, Greer will be presenting a talk on Ritual and the Nature of Lost Knowledge. Opening the event will be a talk/performance by local herbalist and artist Nick Becker. Doors at 8:30pm, show starts at 9pm. Be early, this series has a tendency to be standing-room-only. Admission in $6. at the door.

Did you do that yourself? </div> After a fashion—which is to say, not really. I found a free/CC image of a worn/scuffed/pitted steel door (as seen <a href="http://www.deluzions.net/textures.html" target="_blank">here</a>), then applied a series of Ps blends to get that light blue colour and the exaggerated highlights and shadows. There's a solid cobalt-ish dark blue-grey layer at the very back, with the original door set to linear light overtop that; standard normal/opaque text in black and white, then a dupe of the original layer set to hard light overtop the lot. Et voilà! *jazz hands* Nothing too fancy or technical, but I like the end result.

The butcher goes to the lawyer's office and asks, "if a dog, running unleashed, steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?" "Absolutely," the lawyer responded. The butcher immediately shot back, "Good! You owe me $7.99 for the roast your dog stole from me this morning." The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $7.99. A few days later, the butcher, browsing through his mail, finds an envelope from the lawyer. The contents reads "Consultation: $25.00." ________________________________________________________________________________________ <img src="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1521340384036&id=dfb9f1b1ea54fd7f5c04c90685df416c" alt="" border="0" /> <a href="http://www.cheappandorabead.com/cheap-pandora-charms-sale/pandora-silver-charm-beads-on-sale.html" target="_blank">pandora charms discount</a> <a href="http://www.cheappandorabead.com/cheap-padora-charm-bracelet-uk-sale.html" target="_blank">pandora charm bracelet</a> <a href="http://www.cheappandorabead.com/" target="_blank">pandora uk sale</a> <a href="http://www.cheappandorabead.com/cheap-pandora-charms-beads-sale.html" target="_blank">cheap pandora beads</a>
