>
>BEN NEILL PERFORMANCE
>Wednesday, Sept. 8th, 1999
>4-9pm
>
>at:
>
>SANDRA GERING GALLERY
>476 Broome Street
>2nd floor
>New York
>(212) 226-8195
>
>Ben Neill will perform with the computer-driven sound/light sculpture
>"Pulse 48" at Sandra Gering Gallery in SoHo from 4-9 pm, Wednesday,
>Sept. 8th, 1999.
>
>Ben Neill, mutantrumpeter, composer, and creator of techno dance CDs
>such as "Goldbug"  on the  Polydor/Polygram label, will tap into the
>electronic installation and invite dancer Yves Musard and musician
>David Rothenberg to perform interactively with the sculpture.
>
>"Pulse 48" is a collaboration between Neill and photographer and
>writer Bill Jones.
>
>What makes "Pulse 48" unusual is that it is a musical composition and
>an art object simultaneously. Neill and Jones call it a fractal
>symphony,
>an algorithmic equation expressed as numerous sensory experiences.
>
>When you enter "Pulse 48", what you see and experience is a set of
>light and electronic musical instruments controlled by a simple
>mathematical
>formula, which produces a fractal pattern in time and space.
>
>"Pulse 48"'s sculptural form is based on a fusing of minimalist and
>rave esthetics furthering the theme of the merging of musical and
>artistic
>styles and strategies.
