1/4 Volume Noise Lounge: Size Matters (Matt Underwood + Reba)

May 15, 2016

7:00 pm

SIZE MATTERS (Reba + Underwood) White dwarfs are the remnants of low-mass stars and, if they form a binary system with another star, they can cause large stellar explosions known as type Ia supernovae. One route by which this may happen involves a white dwarf drawing material off a main sequence or red giant star to form an accretion disc. However, when two white dwarfs orbit each other closely,[5] emission of gravitational waves causes the pair to spiral inward. When they finally merge, if their combined mass approaches or exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit, carbon fusion is ignited, raising the temperature. Since a white dwarf consists of degenerate matter, there is no safe equilibrium between thermal pressure and the weight of overlying layers of the star. Because of this, runaway fusion reactions rapidly heat up the interior of the combined star and spread, causing a supernova explosion.[5] In a matter of seconds, all of the white dwarf's mass is thrown into space.

Tashi Dorji, Marisa Anderson, Horse Lords, Wind & Ghosts

May 1, 2016

9:00 pm

Psyched to Announce that Tashi Dorji is coming back to Machines with Marisa Anderson. Pitchforked named their split as one of the Best Experimental Albums of 2016. Tashi Dorji - A Bhutanese guitarist now residing in Asheville, NC, Tashi Dorji makes meticulously crafted sounds that conjure spirits, wrestle demons and tame wild beast. As beautiful as they are cerebral , his acoustic works are reminiscent of Derek Bailey`s free improvisations, flamenco and Fahey`s Americana. Marisa Anderson - Marisa Anderson’s guitar playing is fluid, emotional, dexterous and original. National Public Radio says Anderson’s playing “exposes and hides the mysteries of American music”. Pitchfork calls her recent record, ‘Mercury’, ”Brilliant” and Wire Magazine says, “Her sound has strength in restless variety…Anderson’s playing is heartfelt and utterly American, free from grandstanding and steeped in respect for the old tradition.”

In 1985, Cage opted to omit the detail of exactly how slowly the piece should be played. ABOUT 1/4 VOLUME NOISE LOUNGE: 1/4 Volume noise lounge is a free 3 hour lounge session.

1/4 Volume Noise Lounge: MARK & LAURA CETILIA

April 17, 2016

6:00 pm

Laura Cetilia graduated with distinction from the School of Music at Indiana University and received her Master's degree in cello performance from Wichita State University. In addition to her solo work, she is a member of the electroacoustic ensemble Mem1 with partner Mark Cetilia, and performs avant-garde chamber music with violist Robin Streb in their duo Suna No Onna. Mark Cetilia is a sound / media artist working at the nexus of analog and digital technologies. Exploring the possibilities of generative systems in art, design, and sound practice, Cetilia’s work is an exercise in carefully controlled chaos. He is a member of the media art group Redux, recipients of a Creative Capital grant in Emerging Fields, and the electroacoustic ensemble Mem1, described by The Grove Dictionary of American Music as “a complex cybernetic entity” whose “evolving, custom-built systems are as important an aspect of the duo’s achievements as their ever-innovative sound.”
