a new evening-length performance by composer
Robert Blatt.</b><br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs
xtlvy1s">Consisting fundamentally of a
collection of text scores exploring experimental
approaches to reading, the performance draws
entirely from the books found at Passages
Bookshop as material to realize an assemblage of
interwoven intermedia activities engaging
language, sound, transcription, projection, and
movement. Blatt is joined in this performance by
local sound artist John Dombroski, experimental
musician Caspar Sonnet, and poet James Yeary.<br>

xtlvy1s"><b>Robert Blatt</b> (b. 1984, Anaheim,
CA) is a composer, artist, performer, and
writer. His practice is rooted in explorations
of expanded situations that seek to reevaluate
the paradigmatic and contextual components of
sound and listening through environment,
community, and language. His work has been
presented at Art in Odd Places (NY),
Co-Incidence Festival (MA), Darmstädter
Ferienkurse (DE), Frontiers+ Festival (UK),
Hundred Years Gallery (UK), KM28 (DE), Kunstraum
Walcheturm (CH), Subtropics (FL), Villa Merkel
(DE), and many other venues, including a variety
of open/noninstitutional settings and
situations. He was the recipient of a
Sound/Music Fellowship from Akademie Schloss
Solitude (DE), and has been supported with
residences from Jack Straw New Media Gallery
(WA), Initiative for Digital Exploration of Arts
and Sciences (CA), and Vrije Academie GEMAK
(NL). Recordings of his music include a
forthcoming album on Andromache Records and
releases by Audition Records, iii Editions,
Zeromoon, and other labels. In addition to his
book-length collection of text scores, <i>Beach
Bums</i>, published by Much Too Much Noise,
his work has appeared in a variety of print and
online projects, such as by The Center for Deep
Listening, Neural, Rotations / Poetic Research
Bureau Editions, Schlosspost, Small Projects for
Coming Communities, and others. His work is held
in public and private collections, such as San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art Library (CA),
Letterform Archive (CA), and Colorado College
(CO). He holds degrees from the Royal
Conservatoire, The Hague, and the University of
Washington, Seattle. He currently lives in
Portland, Oregon.</div>
