Outer Ear Studio A Series
GANGWISH: Melissa St. Pierre + special guests
Sunday, October 24
2pm
Jesse Stiles and Melissa St. Pierre
GANGWISH is a perpetual work in progress formed by Pittsburg-based,
prepared piano maven Melissa St. Pierre, who returns to ESS as part of
our Outer Ear Studio A series. Originally an attempt to incorporate
trigger drums and effects as a way to implement melody and sound effects
into drumming, GANGWISH is now an umbrella project including solo shows,
recording projects, guest musicians and vocalists, as well as whatever
any particular piece of sound may call for. For this performance, St.
Pierre is joined by drummer Sam Pace and electronic musician Jesse Stiles.
Peter Margasak of the Chicago Reader says, "Melissa St. Pierre has made
prepared piano her calling card. Her approach is heavily percussive and
obviously meticulous: there's nothing vaguely aleatoric or
improvised-sounding on her power-packed debut." This performance is part
of a tour to promote the group's new album, Technical Drawings. For more

Upcoming Outer Ear Events
*Saturday, Oct 30th at 8pm - Tim Kaiser*
Tim Kaiser creates an ethereal sonic landscape on a series of hand-made
electronic and acousto-electric devices. The aural imagery that Kaiser
conjures is atmospheric and compelling.
*Saturday, Nov 20th at 8pm - Will Faber*
Multi-instrumentalist Will Faber will be performing a solo set combining
guitars, electronics and percussion, touching on musical styles from
diverse cultures and creating a fused sound that is all his own.
*Saturday, Dec. 4th at 8pm - Tom Nunn electro/acoustic percussion
instruments: featuring Ed Herrmann, Jason Adasiewicz, Adam Vida, Sam Hertz*
Tom Nunn has designed, built and performed with original musical
instruments since 1975. His instruments typically utilize commonly
available materials, are sculptural in appearance, utilize contact
microphones for amplification, and are designed specifically for
improvisation with elements of ambiguity, unpredictability and
nonlinearity. For this performance Tom's instruments will be played by
Ed Herrmann, Jason Adasiewicz, Adam Vida, and Sam Hertz.

AUDIBLE GALLERY
Stephanie Nadeau: Is it Farther or Further?
September 24 - October 31
ESS is pleased to present *Stephanie Nadeau*'s "Is it Farther or
Further", an exhibition of photographs, prints, conceptual drawings and
a music box driven by Antarctic winds that explore real and imagined
concepts of distance. "Is it Farther or Further" includes graphite
drawings, images culled from the internet and from Nadeau's personal
snapshot library, and an Aeolian harp powered by a live feed of wind
speed information from an automated weather station in Antarctica.
Through these varied media, Nadeau investigates the human need for
solidarity, her own unconscious search for sameness in her travels and
our relationship to once remote, now disappearing landscapes.

Annie Feldmeier Adams and Steven Hess: /Requiem/
*September 19, 2010 - January 31, 2011
*
In the Fern Room of the Lincoln Park Conservatory is "Requiem" by *Annie
Feldmeier Adams* with *Steven Hess*. In 1865 Chicago's Lincoln Park was
named in honor of the late president (slain April 14, 1865). At the
time, the park included an active cemetery. To expand and beautify the
setting, and to quell health concerns, the city began to remove the
interred bodies. In 1871 the Great Chicago Fire burned cemetery burial
records along with wood and stone grave markers, leaving an
unknown number of bodies forgotten under the site. In the verdant,
fecund Fern Room a Requiem will sound for those who still lie buried
below the conservatory and the park. Percussion-originated sounds are
matched with a humming female voice, modeled on the Requiem (Mass for
the Dead). The musical composition is intended to echo traditional
wording of an Anglican burial service: In the midst of life we are in death.
