Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, “Duet: Eigasing Rin Jalamund,” Body Sweats, 181–83.Who was she...?
'Like no other’s, the Baroness’s corporeally-charged sound poetry embodied the Dada motto of The Little Review: “Making no compromise with the public taste.” A maverick who consistently confounded the boundaries of life and art, the Baroness was known for her remarkable do-it-yourself art aesthetics, adorning her body with objects and self-made costumes, while also producing mischievously titled assemblages made from junk she found in the streets. But it was her sound poetry that provided a touchstone that created a neat division between mainstream critics who dismissed the Baroness as insane, and her admirers who championed her precisely because they recognized in her practice the promise of a new corporeal language'.2

Pioneers of Sound now interviwed on GIRRL
New offerings from GIRRL (posted on features artists link to the left)
Interviews with sound artist pioneers!! Wonderful firsthand chats were they talk in-depth about their practice, their influences, their careers and what they are currently doing with sound … great stuff.
The first up is Annea Lockwood, a composer and installation artists, very famous for her sound maps of the Hudson and Danube rivers and for her, Transplants, where she has buried piano's upside down on beaches. She is interviewed here by NY sound artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg.
Here is some of Annea's work ...
Work titled Digital Whitewater
This is a 9 minute video only version of the third movement of Bow Falls. This movement features the integration of digital camera articfacts into the whitewaters of Bow Falls. The full 26 minute version of Bow Falls is a video/audio collaborative interpretation of the waterfall in Banff, Canada by Paul Ryan and Annea Lockwood in accord with the Earthscore Notational System. Paul Ryan uses handheld camerawork, slow motion, reverse motion and negative color fields to compose four movements in video. Using only non-sync sound gathered at Bow Falls, audio artist Annea Lockwood creates a sound composition that both renders waterflow patterns and engages in a play of differences with the video images. Bow Falls was co-produced with the Banff Art Centre.
Keep an eye out for the next Pioneers Interview its with Pauline Oliveros will be up on GIRRL’s site next week …

Chihei Hatakeyama...
Chihei Hatakeyama
with special guest Anonymeye
At Syncretism, the Judith Wright Centre
Thursday August 25 from 8pm
Occasionally we line up all the cards just right and August's Syncretism is just one such case - a double CD launch from two of the finest and more eccentric guitar provocateurs to grace this fine planet.
From Tokyo's outskirts comes Chihei Hatakeyama, the lauded master of saturated guitar tones and reduced harmony. His floating polychromatic style carries with it a dream-like quality, as if gazing into an old polaroid or watching some scratchy super 8 film. Over the course of the past decade he has explored the outer limits of guitar and electronics, developing a sound that is versed in ambient traditions, but harks back to the heritage of Japan's darker, rawer musics. For his first tour to Australia, Hatakeyama comes on the back of a brand new recording titled Mirror that Brainwashed calls "anything but common, exhibiting an unusual attention to detail that surpasses the efforts of many like-minded musicians."
Joining him for Syncretism is Brisbane acoustic experimentalist Anonymeye who unites various instruments (now including banjo!) with a waving collision of electronics. For his August performance, Anonymeye launches the band new LP Anontendre - a collection of esoteric audio excursions with a flare for the unexpected.
