  • Chaos and Order, an iotaCenter Salon

    3-78 20Witness a collection of visual music from across time and from around the world that represent the spectrum of rationality. Order on the one side and chaos on the other.  Are they truly polar opposites? Is there order in total chaos or chaos in highly organized forms?  Tell us your thoughts in this night of films and discussion.

    Salons are a signature component of the iotaCenter, the world’s first organization devoted to visual music.  These are wonderful nights where we get together as a community of artists, academics and curious onlookers to pontificate on the wild and abstract works called “visual music.”

    Tonight represents our first collaboration with ATA and connecting with the experimental film community in San Francisco.

    Gott Mit Uns, a dance with ghosts on neurological highways. Performing a musical score with Nathan Verill and Pranjal Tiwari, Princess takes us on a kaleidoscopic adventure through the woefully macabre and erotic tunnels of her mind. Captured in fragments dancing on screen, the moving image unfolds to the song of a siren summoning ghosts of filial tides.

    The Transfused/1999/Nomy Lamm + The Need

    Following multiple collaborations, the sense of community involvement, DIY spirit, and willingness to experiment led to The Need’s creation of The Transfused, a full-length rock opera, co-written with Lamm. Twelve months in the making, with an original score by Carns and Sloan, a cast of twenty-five, a full backing band, $40,000 in grassroots fundraising, months of rehearsals, and hundreds of volunteers, The Transfused sold out its two-week run at Olympia’s Capitol Theater in summer 2000. An album featuring music from the production was released on Yoyo Recordings
