Scott Arford 05 05 2008
 Scott Arford at the San Francisco International Film Festival

From April 24 to May 8, 2008, the 51st San Francisco International Film Festival (SFIFF) will bring the world to San Francisco by screening over 100 unique programs of the finest in international cinema. The Festival is proud to present the American Production Scott Arford: Static Life. Over the last decade-plus, Scott Arford has quietly been shaping the Bay Area's new media culture, producing video and musical works, developing exhibition spaces and engineering at (among other places) Recombinant Media Labs. This program presents Arford's artistic practice through both a retrospective and his latest multimedia performance, Still Life (almost) Another Day in Thre Acts. One trope reworked throughout Arford's artistic career is that of "static." Arford's incredibly soothing, ethereal pieces conjure stillness and contemplation. But Arford also visualizes the intense dance of minute structures like electrical static that appears when objects are closely examined. His works tend to oscillate between the poles of movement and stasis, and Still Life is no different in this regard. In it Arford edits and condenses a classic Italian horror film, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (directed by genre master Jorge Grau), into a super slo-mo series of stills. He transforms the violent epic into a rich visual feast, while composing a new soundtrack for it live and onstage. The zombie film is a perfect vehicle for Arford's interests, as he kills the film and brings it back to life-the undead being both a little more still and intense.

Works presented:
Untitled Static 1, Untitled Static 2, Untitled Static 3 (2005, 3 min); Airports for Lights, Shadows and Particles (1995, 8 min); Airports 2 (2003, 9 min); Static Room (excerpt) (2002-2006, 4 min); 7 Illinois Street (2006, 18 min); Still Life (almost) Another Day in Three Acts (2007, 28 min)

This film screens on May 7 at 7:15PM at the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas.

RHYS CHATHAM in NYC 05 05 2008
 Folks,

Table of the Elements is very pleased to announce that Rhys Chatham's latest massed-guitar composition has been commissioned by none other than the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. It's called "A Crimson Grail for 200 Electric Guitars (Outdoor Version)," and it will have its world premiere on August 15, 2008, at Lincoln Center in New York. Details are available at the official Lincoln Center website:

http://www.lincolncenter.org/show_events_list.asp?eventcode=-62531

This new work has its origins in the piece created for Sacre Coeur (France's largest basilica) in 2006, but has been completely revamped to suit the unique acoustics of the out-of-doors site chosen for the performance (Damrosch Park, at Lincoln Center Plaza). Chatham and section leaders John King, Ned Sublette, David Daniell, and Seth Olinsky (Akron/Family) will lead this mammoth orchestra of electric guitars and bass guitars, in what is certain to be a memorable event.

Please help us spread the word!

Thanks much,
Jeff Hunt

Torch extinguished again 10 04 2008
 "Celtic Frost singer and guitarist Tom Gabriel Fischer has left Celtic Frost due to the irresolvable, severe erosion of the personal basis so urgently required to collaborate within a band so unique, volatile, and ambitious."

Tom Warrior's response (from fischerisdead.blogspot.com)

I am devastated beyond description, and I am infinitely disappointed. As the one member of Celtic Frost who is exposed most dramatically to the feedback by our audiences and the media, I feel troubled and humiliated about being unable to honor the enormous goodwill extended to Celtic Frost during the past few years and meet the justified expectations of our fans.

I have always seen the "Monotheist" album as a mere beginning, and a tame one at that. My mind and spirit are full of energy, creativity, and ideas. Celtic Frost had become the unreserved focus of my life for the second time. I was looking forward immeasurably to working on the next Celtic Frost album. To me, it needed to be darker, heavier, and more experimental than "Monotheist".

And yet, Celtic Frost consisted of three individuals, and I was only one of them. In the end I had to concede to myself that there was no other option.

My friendship with and respect for Martin Eric Ain remain unaffected. Moreover, I am in the process of assessing my options to eventually complete, record, and release some of the ideas I originally created for Celtic Frost and the planned next album in the course of the past few years, and to take our distinctive music out on the road again.

There is no way back.



SILBERNACHT 09 04 2008

'Liebe und Verfall: Die Hoffnung stirbt, die Liebe nicht.'
(FLAME33)

1. Das Erwachen (The Awakening)
2. Liebe und Verfall (Love and Decay)
3. Unter den Sternen (Under the Stars)
4. Wenn der Tod nur Sehnsucht weckt (When Death only creates Longing)

This one has been in the planning stages for a couple of years. Imagine a gloomy, old silent film. Imagine the soundtrack for that film. This CD would be the music you would hear.

Germany couldn't be a more appropriate home for SILBERNACHT, project of one Frank Esser, for this musical score seems to fit in perfectly with an era of film that is legendary the world over thanks to the genius of many a German filmmaker.

The release is on a 4-panel chipboard stock, with hand printed panels, is set up to look like the work received from Herr Esser over the years.
