"Art in relation to earthquakes
Find a new pedestal for the vase
Destruction and shared information surrounding damage
Carbon dating
Chronology of damage, craftsmanship
Impulses and repression
Distressed and damaged and put back together for authenticity
I've been making work about this vase destroyed from an earthquake and want to do the talk about that."

The 6th Ever Quiet Music Festival of Portland
On June 24th and 25th, 2015, Chris Johanson’s sixth annual Quiet Music Festival of Portland will
once again transform contemporary art space Disjecta into a tranquil cave of sonic serenity. Tuning
in and zonking out are equally encouraged as this year’s line-up takes you through soft sets
tailored to the festival’s ethos while you float on a sea of plush surfaces.
Celebrating the power of turning the dial down, the lowest-key festival in the land spans two
nights in Portland. Valet, Larry Yes, Sun Foot and Bouquet will all perform and Mary Gaitskill will do
a reading. The full list of artists will be released in April.
Mississippi Records’ Eric I returns to helm the festival’s DJ booth and spin copious amounts of medicinal vinyl.
The festival will be recorded by Seth Lorinczi (2-Track Mind Studio) using a vintage 2-track 1/4” tape
deck. Past recordings can be found at quietmusicfestivalofportland.bandcamp.com. The technology is
old, clunky and obsolete, but the recordings capture the special hush and tranquility of the QMF.
About Chris Johanson
Chris Johanson established the Quiet Music Festival of Portland in 2011 as a community listening
experience. His recent exhibitions include the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Malmo
Museum, SFMOMA, and UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. Johanson’s work has been included
in the Whitney Biennial, the 8th Istanbul Biennial, and the 4th Berlin Biennial. In 2013 publishing
house Phaidon released his monograph as part of its Contemporary Artists Series. Johanson created
the record label Awesome Vistas which produces limited edition vinyl records and publications, and
the creative enterprise J and C Arts in collaboration with his partner, Johanna Jackson.
About Disjecta Contemporary Art Center
Founded in 2000, Disjecta Contemporary Art Center builds ambitious programs that promote artists
and engage communities. These dynamic programs showcase new work and fuel collaborations
between artists, curators and viewers that impact and intervene in the larger contemporary arts
dialogue. Disjecta’s reach extends far beyond the arts and encompasses the true essence of a cultural
facility: a place where ideas, dialogue, creativity, and diversity flourish.

JESSY LANZA
Made in her hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, with production partner Jeremy Greenspan from Junior Boys, the plaintive, reverb drizzled mood of the first album has all but given away to a more direct, self-assured and joyful album. As with many artists whose hometown lie off the usual network of cultural hotspots, 'Oh No' is driven positively by the idea of making music that isn't inspired by where she lives. Instead, the album resonates more with the philosophy of experimental pop of Japanese 80s electro outfit Yellow Magic Orchestra and Jessy's breathless, pitched vocals are reminiscent of YMO collaborator Miharu Koshi. Playfully laced with cascading arpeggios, crispy drum machines and breezy songs, 'Oh No' has an infectious energy that has been brewing in her live shows since her first album. As Jessy says 'I want to make people feel good and I want to make myself feel good'.
The album oscillates between the languid, coiled, arpeggiated slow jams of 'New Ogi', 'GoingSomewhere', 'Begins', 'Could be u', 'I Talk BB' and the low slung 808 groove of 'Vivaca', where Jessy's vocal gymnastics run wild over minimal drums and synths, and the catchy upbeat boogie of 'VV Violence', 'Never Enough', 'OhNo' and the high point of 'It Means I Love You" which has a sparse addictive bounce with a pitched up vocal refrain and a nod to Shangaan electro.
The trials of dealing with nervousness are also encrypted into the artwork, such as the plants that recur in the sleeve and videos.As Jessy remarked, "I became obsessed with surrounding myself with tropical plants. I've been convinced that the air quality in our house is slowly killing us. It might sound crazy but the plants have made a huge difference."
Anxiety and botanical remedies or not, 'Oh No' is a bold second album from Jessy and a marked step forward for her sound. Catch her as shetours with Junior Boys in February, plays EU headline shows from May to June, and in July has a North American Tour.
DJ TAYE
LEAD BY LORENE BOUBOUSHIAN
As an interdisciplinary, improvisational performer and workshop facilitator, I am captivated by the underlying motives for any action. In workshops and lab-based environments, often it is assumed that we should follow our “interests” or “intentions,” when in fact our in-the-moment actions are a result not of clear-cut decisions but our relationship to the organism of bodies, room and objects around us colliding with what’s inside us. What do we want and why? What if we derailed ourselves, worked with our own insincerity, faked ourselves out, played tricks? Is it possible to create a realm where all is valid and nothing is right? For anyone interested in performing, from any discipline. Bring objects you are interested in.
here is a more general description and some video of past classes. this refers to more sonic based stuff i've been doing with matthew gantt, but it's still nice to watch i think:

Course Description
This 3-part workshop will focus on the basic understandings of operating and manipulating turntables, mixers, and a power amplifier (PA) in the context of creating a live DJ mix.
We will begin by introducing the basics behind these pieces of gear, both individually and their relationship to each other. Next, our focus will turn to practical listening as we work to comprehend rhythms and the ways our records work together to create a momentum of sound. These two basic tools of DJing – electronic hardware and human intuition – will be reconciled in the final session as we identify systems for sequencing records in a live setting.
We will discuss ways of training our bodies to react to our ears and translate those reactions to the turntable & mixer. Core concepts touched on include beat-matching, identifying tempos, and developing an identity as a dj based on each individual’s tastes and strengths.
Each week, in addition to the guided session, there will be a day of open equipment hours to practice the concepts that were taught in each class.

"Austin-based act Holy Wave blends garage and surf rock with heavy reverb and echo to create a sound that is dreamy and hazy." - Nylon
"Freaks of Nurture is an intimate piece of pastoral psychedelia which replaces oddball freak-outs with gorgeous melody." - Line of Best Fit

Ben Tactic & Graintable
Sherard Ingram aka DJ Stingray has been a strong presence in the world of techno for over twenty years. Growing up in Detroit, this school friend and DJ partner of Kenny Dixon Jr. realised his Urban Tribe project in 1991 with the now classic 'Covert Action', a track released on Retroactive's seminal 'Equinox' compilation, a milestone in the city's rich technosoul history. A couple of years later London's Mo'Wax label released his debut album 'The Collapse Of Modern Culture', which featured collaborations with friends and peers such as Anthony 'Shake' Shakir, Moodymann and Carl Craig. His most illustrious work might have been as part of Drexciya's live unit - he was named Stingray by Drexciya's James Stinson. Reppin' Detroit's 313 with masked performances around the world, and three dozen releases - including records on labels like Planet E and Mahogani Music as well as collaborations with Dopplereffekt's Heinrich Mueller (also known as the other half of Drexciya) - Ingram has since turned label head with Micron Audio Detroit to release the work of fresh, upcoming talent from across the globe.

Funktion One sound
The music of The Growlers is unmistakable.
Sure, you can hone in on some influences baked into the work of this California-bred band. Heck, even they’d cop to a few, like Ricky Nelson and The Clash. But once those same RIYL tags have been filtered through the minds and hands and voices of this five-piece, there’s simply nothing else like it.
The Growlers took the phrase “Beach Goth” as an apt descriptor of their music. Sunburned and salty, that term perfectly describes their distinctive melding of reverb heavy surf guitar and Bakersfield-style honky tonk with ‘80s post-punk.
This is especially true of Chinese Fountain, The Growlers’ fifth full-length set to be released on September 23rd via Everloving Records. The 11 songs found on it are some of the strongest that they’ve committed to tape yet; a byproduct not only of eight years in the trenches together, but finely honing their gypsy folk dirges and psychedelic sea shanties to fans at close to 150 shows each year. The connection between vocalist Brooks Nielsen and guitarist Matt Taylor (the principal songwriters of the group) has only grown deeper.
“The band played better than they’ve ever played,” says Nielsen. “We’ve got the process down now. There’s less screwing around to get the songs laid out and we weren’t waiting around for take after take. We knew it and we played without much time to spare.”
That confidence bleeds through every track on Chinese Fountain, with the band assured enough to layer in shades of many new influences: the loping ska beat of “Dull Boy” and “Going Gets Tuff,” the playful disco beat behind the title track, or the Teardrop Explodes-like agitation of “Good Advice.”
Not that the band left themselves much room to second-guess anything. The five spent about three weeks writing the tracks, and about half that time in the studio recording them. That may sound rushed, but it’s not as if you can hear any strain on the finished product; Chinese Fountain is as rock solid and watertight as anything in their still-growing discography.
There’s evolution to be heard in Chinese Fountain as well, courtesy of some of Nielsen’s most pointed and poignant lyrics to date. He takes our obsession with the online world to task on the funky title track. When he drops the bomb that obliterates that most famous of Beatles’ claims with "The internet is bigger than Jesus or John Lennon” he re-contextualizes Marshall McLuhan's "the medium is the message" in the same breath. He urges positivity no matter the obstacles (“Going Gets Tuff”). Too, he reveals a tattered heart to the world on tracks like “Rare Hearts” and “Love Test.”
“This is my chance to let it all out,” Nielsen says of these songs. “I kind of bottle things up and don’t really get emotional. But I think if I don’t open up, I’d be a really stale person.”
