FHR is the founder of the Lodge For Utopian Science where he conducts research in psycho-stochastics, practices arcane crafts and curates a collection of early digital synthesizers, user manuals and printed ephemera. Originally interested in drawing in his pre-teen years, as a teenager FHR studied to become a pianist at the “Musikschule” (music school) Moers, built his own electronic music studio and – after a stay as postulant at the cloister of Lilienfeld, Austria – made his debut performance with FISCH I on the island of Crete. He rose to prominence in Germany with FISCH II, a performance involving analog tape music, lights, 4 actor-instrumentalists and a fish. Believed lost, these teenage “Moers Works (1982-1984)” were rediscovered and released 25 years later by Moscow based Monochrome Vision. FHR continued with performance art based body manipulation  – the FISCH series – in galleries in West & East Germany, Switzerland & Canada and released his first cassette  in 1986 via the Cologne-based Maria Bonk Gallery. After studies in communication science, bionics and philosophy at the Technische Universitat Berlin, where he co-founded the CAMP group and performed at the International Computer Music Conference 1988, he became a landed immigrant in Canada. There FHR released, with his first wife Emily Faryna, his first commercial music on the Mo=Da=Mu label and wrote his first commercial software – PaintMusic – for Science World of British Columbia. He concluded with FM synthesis for computer games (Unlimited Software) and the last of the FISCH series performances in Vancouver, B.C.. Moving to San Francisco in 1990 FHR appeared with his second wife Monique in Playboy magazine, organized and performed at Raves where he met his third wife Nina Schneider. His first appearance on 12inch vinyl record “Magick Sounds of the Underground’ (Hardkiss Records) and on Compact Disc “Death Rave 2000” (21st Circuitry Records), as well as the establishment of his first production company “Suite Zero” followed after writing his first commercials for “Levi’s 501 jeans” (Foote, Cone & Belding). Relocating to New York in 1994, he suffered bouts of clinical depression, panic/anxiety disorder and depersonalization which continued until he started drug treatment in 2012. Because of his mental illness, FHR became almost exclusively studio and web-based. He produced remixes for Peter Scherer, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Elliott Sharp, and others. In 1995 the first of his soundtracks for George Lucas “Star Wars 3D” (New York Film & Animation) appeared and he established Flux Records which released DJ Glove’s “Tuning”. In 1997 FHR became the last Freemason of the German-speaking Hermann Lodge No 268 to be initiated in Manhattan. During much of the 2000s he traveled between Los Angeles and New York, doing web design and development for a number of Fortune 500 clients, including Warner Bros & Hewlett-Packard, and became the Director of Technology for Musicblitz. He was the Senior System Analyst for the New York Philharmonic from 2006-2009. From 2005-2012 he released 2 Compact Discs per year, including ALT –  a re-discovery of this 1989-2002 work with analog computers – on the Paris based label Baskaru. The same year saw the release of his first syntheastic film, “Birth of Primary Cinema from the Spirit of Sound” available through Printed Matter in New York. After his entire archive of hardware and software was destroyed in the California Witch Fire of 2007, he took his first foray into the arcane crafts with the rescue and restoration of a 1924 E. Gabler & Sons grand piano, eventually becoming intimately familiar with the plumbing, heating, electrical, and structural challenges of Depression-Era real estate in Los Angeles.” [“post_title”]=>

Laura Vitale

With inspiration drawn from a research trip to White Sands National
Monument in New Mexico, Laura Vitale will create a temporary audio-visual
installation from very large balloons, amplified with contact microphones. When
agitated, the balloons vibrate with low rhythmic tones reminiscent of vintage sound
effects. The hanging, slow movement and large spheroid curves of the surfaces of the
balloons evoke the otherworldly experience of being out in the gypsum dunes of White
Sands. Laura Vitale’s work orients around sound, also utilizing video, drawing,
photography, sculpture, and performance. She recently completed a residency with
Recess Activities in SoHo. She has made commissioned installations and performances
for WNYC and Issue Project Room, been a Van Lier Fellow at Harvestworks Digital
Media Arts Center, and received a New York State Council on the Arts Individual
Artist Grant.

Max Abeles

Whispering Pines 10 is a one-act opera by artist Shana Moulton in
collaboration with composer Nick Hallett, and featuring vocalist Daisy Press.
Directed by Elyse Singer, the work stars Moulton as her alter ego Cynthia, a
hypochondriac agoraphobe prone to colorful hallucinations and absurd fantasies.
While Cynthia seeks health and total happiness within her virtual environment—an
interactive video set that utilizes real-time multimedia techniques its creators
call “live animation”—she usually settles for fad cures and new-age kitsch, creating
situations in turn comic, contemplative, and surreal.

Robert Madler

“Continuum” utilizes five surround speakers with each speaker bouncing
its content between speakers, or all speakers sounding in stereo unison. The result
is a push and pull between fragmentation and unity and a flux of consonant and
dissonant space and rhythms in which the sound is balanced or intentionally
unbalanced regardless of the listener’s position in relation to the speakers. Robert
recently received a Masters of Music from Bowling Green State University, Bowling
Green, OH and is currently living in New York City.

Frank Rothkamm

Frank Holger Rothkamm (FHR) started as an actor in the youth forum at the ”Schloss Theater” (castle theatre) in Moers, Germany and currently lives and works in Los Angeles in a 1935 Steinkamp house, that he has restored and reformed since 2010. FHR is the founder of the Lodge For Utopian Science where he conducts research in psycho-stochastics, practices arcane crafts and curates a collection of early digital synthesizers, user manuals and printed ephemera. Originally interested in drawing in his pre-teen years, as a teenager FHR studied to become a pianist at the “Musikschule” (music school) Moers, built his own electronic music studio and – after a stay as postulant at the cloister of Lilienfeld, Austria – made his debut performance with FISCH I on the island of Crete. He rose to prominence in Germany with FISCH II, a performance involving analog tape music, lights, 4 actor-instrumentalists and a fish. Believed lost, these teenage “Moers Works (1982-1984)” were rediscovered and released 25 years later by Moscow based Monochrome Vision. FHR continued with performance art based body manipulation  – the FISCH series – in galleries in West & East Germany, Switzerland & Canada and released his first cassette  in 1986 via the Cologne-based Maria Bonk Gallery. After studies in communication science, bionics and philosophy at the Technische Universitat Berlin, where he co-founded the CAMP group and performed at the International Computer Music Conference 1988, he became a landed immigrant in Canada. There FHR released, with his first wife Emily Faryna, his first commercial music on the Mo=Da=Mu label and wrote his first commercial software – PaintMusic – for Science World of British Columbia. He concluded with FM synthesis for computer games (Unlimited Software) and the last of the FISCH series performances in Vancouver, B.C.. Moving to San Francisco in 1990 FHR appeared with his second wife Monique in Playboy magazine, organized and performed at Raves where he met his third wife Nina Schneider. His first appearance on 12inch vinyl record “Magick Sounds of the Underground’ (Hardkiss Records) and on Compact Disc “Death Rave 2000” (21st Circuitry Records), as well as the establishment of his first production company “Suite Zero” followed after writing his first commercials for “Levi’s 501 jeans” (Foote, Cone & Belding). Relocating to New York in 1994, he suffered bouts of clinical depression, panic/anxiety disorder and depersonalization which continued until he started drug treatment in 2012. Because of his mental illness, FHR became almost exclusively studio and web-based. He produced remixes for Peter Scherer, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Elliott Sharp, and others. In 1995 the first of his soundtracks for George Lucas “Star Wars 3D” (New York Film & Animation) appeared and he established Flux Records which released DJ Glove’s “Tuning”. In 1997 FHR became the last Freemason of the German-speaking Hermann Lodge No 268 to be initiated in Manhattan. During much of the 2000s he traveled between Los Angeles and New York, doing web design and development for a number of Fortune 500 clients, including Warner Bros & Hewlett-Packard, and became the Director of Technology for Musicblitz. He was the Senior System Analyst for the New York Philharmonic from 2006-2009. From 2005-2012 he released 2 Compact Discs per year, including ALT –  a re-discovery of this 1989-2002 work with analog computers – on the Paris based label Baskaru. The same year saw the release of his first syntheastic film, “Birth of Primary Cinema from the Spirit of Sound” available through Printed Matter in New York. After his entire archive of hardware and software was destroyed in the California Witch Fire of 2007, he took his first foray into the arcane crafts with the rescue and restoration of a 1924 E. Gabler & Sons grand piano, eventually becoming intimately familiar with the plumbing, heating, electrical, and structural challenges of Depression-Era real estate in Los Angeles.
