SUMMARY:The Moonpie Project Presents: Detour
DESCRIPTION:Artist Detour will present an artist talk at Food for Thought\, a weekly lecture series on the Crosstown Concourse Theater Stair. Detour is the latest Moonpie Project artist\, and he’ll be creating a mural in an alley across the street from Crosstown Concourse. \nMural location: Crosstown Arts alley between 430 & 438 N. Cleveland \n\n\nThe Moonpie Project is an ongoing\, rotating mural series curated by Michael Roy in memory of muralist Brad Wells \nOrganized in collaboration with Crosstown Arts \n\nAbout the artist:\nMy current art focus is all about connecting music and fine arts through traditional methods and technology. Accenting my focus\, the sights\, sounds\, and issues surrounding urban culture shape the way I approach the creation of concepts\, use of tools\, and overall execution of my work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMuch of my work consists of channeling concepts and issues about the urban arts culture through portraits of minority and urban subjects.  The portraits tackle issues ranging from the serious\, to the bastardization of a culture\, to the light-hearted\, to breakdancing.  Some portraits open a window into the inner workings of a certain community\, while other paintings simply try to enhance the audience’s experience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe tools I use to develop my work are not limited to any one medium. My goal is to capture every sense of my audience\, thus breaking down barriers and making it easier to be engulfed in the canvas. I see these senses as building blocks for bridges between the viewer and the messages I’m communicating. The more blocks I use\, the better the viewer will receive the message.

SUMMARY:Sound Observations: Maria Chavez & Christina Carter
DESCRIPTION:A musical performance and lecture series presented by Sonosphere in collaboration with Crosstown Arts \nMaria Chavez\, an abstract turntablist/sound artist/DJ of Lima\, Peru\, and vocalist/guitarist/pianist Christina Carter will collaborate on a performance. \nFree and open to the public (reserve free ticket on Eventbrite)\nDoors at 7:30 pm | concert at 8 pm \n\nAbout Sound Observations:\nIn this four-part series highlighting new explorations in sound\, musicians\, composers\, and scholars from across the country will showcase their unique talents through performances and lectures. Listen and experience sound as art through a variety of different approaches and mediums. \n\n\n\nAbout the artists:\nSound artist Maria Chavez utilizes accidents\, coincidence\, and failures to unite her sound sculptures\, installations\, and other works with her solo turntable performance practice. Routledge Press chose Maria to be on the cover of the latest edition of their Electronic and Experimental textbook that is distributed widely throughout academia. The book is used in universities and music programs all over the world as a first-year course for students interested in the world of avant garde and electronic sound practice. \nMaria wrote her first book on her unique approach to abstract turntablism in 2012 titled\, OF TECHNIQUE: Chance Procedures on Turntable (currently out of stock)\, a book of essays and illustrations that guide the novice turntablist to explore the world of needles and vinyl through the lens of deterioration\, destruction\, and the unexpected. \nMaria regularly teaches workshops introducing students to her turntable practice all over the world and has been a research fellow with the Sound Practice Research Department of Goldsmith’s University of London since 2015. \nShe presents lectures on sound art\, improvisation\, multi-channel speaker installation practice\, most recently for Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)\, Stony Brook University\, the Contemporary Arts Museum-Houston\, Berklee College-Valencia\, Spain and others later in the fall/winter season. \nChristina Carter was born in the bayou city of Houston\, Texas in November of 1968\, and co-founded the group Charalambides there in December of 1991. Ever since\, she has deeply mined her own vein of art-as-music with voice\, guitar\, and piano. For the past several years\, Christina has utilized extended improvisational guitar passages within and without song-medley structures\, and recently\, investigated ‘the song’ as a thing unto itself\, specifically concentrating on ‘the word’- both in her own lyric writing and her interpretations of the work of other lyricists. In addition to performing extensively in the US\, UK\, and Europe as a solo artist\, Christina has played and recorded in various groups and duos with Heather Leigh Murray (as Scorces)\, Maria Chavez\, Loren Connors\, Chris Corsano\, Dredd Foole\, Sandy Ewen\, Paul Flaherty and Thurston Moore. \n\nAbout Sonosphere:\nSonosphere is a Memphis-based podcast aimed at exploring sound in music and art movements through history and today. Past podcasts have featured ICEBERG New Music Collective\, John Cage\, Martin Heyne\, and Memphis Concrete\, among other artists and music events.

Formed in 2005\, Nief-Norf was created by Illinois natives Andrew Bliss and Kerry O’Brien\, who took their ensemble’s name from a descriptor of strange sounds. Some say “bleep-blop”; they prefer “nief-norf.” During their undergraduate years as percussionists\, the “nief-norf” moniker came to stand for any music that was experimental or weird. Now based in Knoxville\, Nief-Norf celebrates experimental music through their annual Summer Festival and Call for Scores. \nAbout Luna Nova:\nMemphis-based Luna Nova Music supports performances of a wide range of twentieth century classics\, music of established living composers\, and premieres by emerging composers. With concerts\, master-classes and private instruction\, Luna Nova Music maintains a strong commitment to the education of performers and listeners and to the cause of new music in educational institutions and beyond. \nAbout chatterbird:\nchatterbird is a Nashville-based chamber music ensemble. A 501(c)3 non-profit organization\, chatterbird was founded in 2014 with a mission to explore alternative instrumentation and stylistic diversity in order to create thoughtful and inventive musical experiences. \nAbout Rob Junklas:\nRob Jungklas is a Memphis-based rock/blues musician\, singer\, and songwriter. He worked in the Memphis music circuit for 15 years before signing a deal with Manhattan Records and releasing the album Closer to the Flame in 1986. The album contained the hit “Make It Mean Something\,” which reached #86 on the Billboard Hot 100. Another song\, “Boystown\,” had a video directed by Godley & Creme (in the same rapid-jump-cut style of their video for Wang Chung’s “Everybody Have Fun Tonight”). “Hello Heaven\,” another song on the album\, appeared on the soundtrack of the 1987 movie The Principal. \nAbout Don Lifted:\nLawrence Matthews (a.k.a. Don Lifted) is a multi-disciplined fixture in the Memphis art scene\, predominantly working in music\, visual arts\, and film. Matthews’ style incorporates hiphop\, alternative rock and electronic music\, resulting in emotionally vulnerable storytelling and eclectic production. His album Alero was released in early 2017. \nAbout Blueshift Ensemble:\nBlueshift is a Memphis-based contemporary chamber music ensemble dedicated to bringing artists and audiences together through artistic collaboration. By programming both new and existing classical repertoire alongside multi-genre collaborations\, Blueshift aims to connect a wider audience to today’s classical music. The ensemble draws upon Memphis’s uniquely diverse musical heritage by combining classical music with popular music genres such as rock\, blues\, and soul and featuring local musicians\, visual artists\, and composers. \n\nContinuum Music Festival is generously sponsored in part by: \nAmro Music\nThe University of Memphis Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music ...where music lives…\nSuzana Lightman\nAntique Warehouse Mall \n \n \n
