Seth Nehil
PERFORMING AT SOMEDAY
Monday, Jan 29 › 8pm › $5
TARAB, CAMILLA HANNAN, and SETH NEHIL
There you are, running your little club in Portland, on the lookout for something rare and beautiful. Then it arrives, an e-mail, on the old account you never use anymore. A fellow you used to know asks whether you might be interested in hosting two sound artists from Australia.
Camilla Hannan is concerned primarily with field recordings, and the processing and distorting of same in order to achieve specific psychological effects. Tarab's biography says he "explores the possibilities of personal chartings and reactions to the urban environment, revelling in the decay and detritus to be found there." He too uses field recordings, and the sounds of found objects. And who else could the old friend in this story be but Seth Nehil, microsound maestro and editor of F OA RM Magazine?
Oh goody, goody, goody.
