Greetings from Caipirinha,
Below is a press release of our first installment of bringing Architettura
to a live setting. The performance shall take place within the actual
structure of the Brooklyn Bridge, NYC. This synergy between the man-made
worlds of architecture and electronic music have already generated a mass
of interest and respect. We hope you see this ongoing project as an
opportunity to provide readers with a unique perception of two highly
creative sources. Please contact myself with any inquiries and I thank you
in advance for your time and interest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caipirinha Productions, in conjunction with Creative Time, invite you to a
night of architecture, film and music. 'Architettura' will be taking place
at the Brooklyn Anchorage, Saturday, June 19th, 1999 from 9PM to 1AM.
"Where postmodernists in the 70's and 80's approached architecture with the
idea of deconstruction, overanalysis, and philosophical symbolism, we are
now moving into an era of supermodernism. The emphasis of architecture has
moved from meaning, message, and visual excess to aesthetics of
transparency."
-Hans Ieblings, Supermodernism: Architecture in theAge of Globalization
The installations will focus on contemporary architecture/design and
electronic music of the late 20th century and present ideas for where they
are heading in the 21st century.
The evening will include:
Soundscapes presented by Caipirinha musicians:
Taylor Deupree, Terre Thaemlitz, Unit, Somatic, Datach'i and a internet
broadcast performance direct from the Sonar Festival in Barcelona by David
Toop. His performance shall include selections from Architettura's Volume 3
CD release.
A slide show of the architecture that inspired the first 3 volumes of the
Caipirinha Music "Architettura CD Series", to be presented during the
performances of the corresponding musicians. The architects involved in the
series include: Toyo Ito (The Tower of Winds - Tokyo, Japan) Nicholas
Grimshaw (The Waterloo Terminal - London, England) and Itsuko Hasegawa (The
Museum Of Fruit - Mt. Fuji, Japan) and, in anticipation of Volume 4 of the
series, Oscar Niemeyer (The Museum of Modern Art in Niteroi, Rio De
Janeiro, Brazil)
A film installation on contemporary architecture including footage from the
United States, Denmark, Japan, Spain, Brazil, England, and France. The
footage is edited to music and intercut with written quotes on the subject
of technological architecture, culture, and music. The typography is
designed by musician / graphic designer Taylor Deupree, the film shot by
Marcus Burnett (Modulations), edited by Andreas Troeger (visual editor for
Nam June Paik video installations and Synthetic Pleasures), and directed by
Iara Lee (Synthetic Pleasures, Modulations).
The evening's sonic events will be recorded, edited and reconstructed for
a full length CD on Caipirinha Music tentatively titled "Sounds of the
Anchorage". Mark Wlodarkiewicz (sound montage artist for Caipirinha films
'Modulations' and 'Synthetic Pleasures') shall edit the CD.
