The IAP’s Music program presents radical, genre-blind music from composers and musicians based in New York City and around the world. The series (formerly known as Experimental Music under the Ontological) covers as broad a range of sound art as possible (improvisation, time-based, graphic, electronic, text-based/verbal/performance, new composition, installation, homemade devices etc.). The Music curator is Travis Just.

ALL THE MANY PEOPLS
Dec 7 / 7pm
TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR
ALL THE MANY PEOPLS is a piece for solo voice and electronics. The texts and materials in the piece are drawn from a wide variety of different sources - the paranoid schozophrenic rantings of Francis E. Dec; the delineations of logic-based language Lojban; various iterations of the "Courage Wolf" internet meme; re-working of shamanic songs structures using conversations found in dead internet chat rooms; collections of poorly-executed video game voice-overs.
