| An exhibition Another Short History of Decay corroded photographs by Jim Haynes January 15 - February 27, 2010 reception : January 16, 6 - 8pm Electric Works 130 8th Street San Francisco, CA 94103 www.sfelectricworks.com Electric Works proudly welcomes Jim Haynes into the project room in presenting "Another Short History of Decay." Each image in the exhibition is a corroded photograph, that begins its life as a silver gelatin print and acquires its bruised surface through a series of chemical reactions that embed stains into the surface of the print. At times, Haynes obliterates the photographic image through this process; and at others, he allows the imagery of those photographs to creep back through the network of residual markings. Jim Haynes (b. 1972) lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area. Recent solo exhibitions had been hosted by The Lab in San Francisco and Jack Straw Productions in Seattle. Haynes' work also includes composition and performance through which he has collaborated with Steven Stapleton, Loren Chasse, Keith Evans, and M.S. Waldron. His recordings have been published by The Helen Scarsdale Agency, Intransitive Recordings, Elevator Bath, and Seal Pool. He is the Vice President of 23five Incorporated, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development and increased awareness of sound arts within the public arena. |

| A publication now available: Spiracle Ananta 2CD Ananta is a twin set of compositions that urge the listener toward a dreamless sleep-state, while reflecting the glowing warmth of a blossoming sunrise. In constructing the two variations of Ananta, Kojo began with finely tuned drones extracted from a Dilruba and a Sarangi, and applied a process of merging sympathetic field recordings and other tonal interferences alongside those instrumental sounds. The resulting pieces are elliptically static drone compositions that brightly shimmer with hues of gold, crimson, and aquamarine. Recently published: Matt Shoemaker Erosion of the Analogous Eye CD For Erosion of the Analogous Eye, Shoemaker waves his hands about his laboratory to construct an ever-evolving album for mutant dronemuzik. His electrical seas of synthetic bristling undulate with placid regularity, only to find Shoemaker contorting these brain-melting psychedelics into cancerous, atonal bellows. Out of his allotropic shifts, one can find swells of irradiated static transform into the graceful chime of temple bells; and electrical phase patterns slip into deep forest murmurings dotted with narcoleptic birds calls. Coming soon: M. Holterbach & Julia Eckhardt Do-Undo (in G maze) |
