Hello all -
 
This is a sneak preview to my personal and professional email distribution list on the planning of the Boise Experimental Music Festival (BEMF). The next major communication will be the event's official press release in April. I will be working with the Visual Arts Collective to craft this press release and get it out to the media.
 
The bulk of the planning for the festival is now complete, which includes the following:
 
Date: April 28-29
Venue: The Visual Arts Collective art gallery (located in Boise's Linen District) - http://www.visualartscollective.com/
Event Description:

The Boise Experimental Music Festival (BEMF) is a first-of-its-kind event for Boise and the surrounding Treasure Valley. This program features twelve creative music performances that fall into the experimental, avant-garde, or free improvisation music genres.  The festival will provide a new and exciting experience to Boise’s music and art enthusiasts by bringing together a unique community of musicians and artists, integrating music performance with short experimental film and video, graphics art, and performance art. The Boise Experimental Music Festival will be held at the Visual Arts Collective gallery, Boise’s premiere venue for unique art forms that push the boundaries of imagination.

Hello all -
 
I start a new jazz trio gig tomorrow evening (Monday) at 6:30pm at the Milky Way restaurant down town Boise, with Vincent Miresse on congas and cajon, and Jamie Vink on upright bass. And of course, I'm on the geetar. We'll be there every Monday, so come on down and join us for dinner and/or cocktails.
 
...and yes, I have been known to play something other than off-the-wall avant-garde and experimental real-time looping music!   But it's been a while, so don't ask me to play Cherokee or Giant Steps quite yet...yikes! :)
 
Cheers,
 
Kris

Happy New Year Everyone!

I am excited to announce my fifth CD release, which is a special collaboration project that represents the talent and diversity of the International looping community. This is the official release of Xperimentus!  

Xperimentus is a series of compositions by me and 13 other musicians from the International Looper’s Delight discussion group and community. Each composition is a duo composed virtually and in collaboration over the internet by me and these amazingly creative and awe-inspiring musicians from the U.S., Belgium, Norway, Italy, UK, and Germany. Xperimentus is a unique blend of personalities and multiple playing styles that fuses electronic, experimental, and avant-garde music into a delightful collage of music art.

View more information on the CD (including song info, musician bios/pictures, sound clips, etc) here: http://www.krispenhartung.com/xperimentus 
 
Buy Xperimentus directly on CD Baby at: http://cdbaby.com/cd/krispen4  (we would appreciate any of your reviews on this page as well)
 
You may also purchase this CD, and the rest of my works, at the Record Exchange here in Boise, Idaho in the Electronic section,

"Magic Cosmic Sounds - With Xperimentus, Krispen Hartung has incredibly woven together a disparate array of cosmic sounds into one magic carpet sure to take you on a ride through the astral plane. This collaboration of global musicians is surprisingly cohesive considering the method in which it was created, mostly through virtual cooperation with 13 other musicians. The songs on this disc seem to arise from the ether and spill forth a delicious series of notes that mesmerize the listener then slip back suddenly into the dimension from which they came." - Michelle Morris (Writer and Photographer)

This event will occur in the Spring of '06, mostly likely the end of April at a major venue in the down town area.
I have tentative confirmations from out of state veteran experimental musicians to headline this event for the
Friday kickoff.  The main festival on Saturday will include performances from 9 musicians, and my intent is to
include intermissions featuring experimental film, poetry, visual art, and other forms of avant-garde and experimental
art.
 
I will be distributing hundreds of copies of this flyer throughout Boise and the Treasure Valley in the next two weeks.
 

This site will include more details on venue, exact date, etc in the next month.
 
Please contact me directly if you want a PDF version of this flyer or a copy of my 9-page draft project plan.
Any help in distributing the flyer would be greatly appreciated.  Once I complete the project plan, I will
also be asking for local volunteers (12+ individuals) to be a part of the logistics, technical, and event coordination
team.

1st Annual Boise Festival
for Experimental Music

Spring '06

Mission Statement

The purpose of this music festival is to 1) promote and educate experimental and avant-garde music in the Boise and surrounding Treasure Valley, 2) provide an annual venue for local experimental musicians to express their art amongst their peers and potential experimental music enthusiasts, and 3) foster local artistic diversity, awareness, and fair representation of unusual and avant-garde forms of art.

Traditionally, the Boise and surrounding Treasure Valley has been a predominantly conservative-minded area in the Northwest, and this mindset tends manifest itself in the types of music that become the focal points for music listeners and the media. This mindset is of no fault of the Boise community, but is a natural consequence (to name a just few sources) of the demographics of the area, the geographical location of Boise in the Northwest, economic pressures on venue owners to cater to public taste, and the overall philosophies of those who promote and foster musical diversity in the area. As a result, with exception of an occasional world-fusion, art rock, looping, or out-of-state performance, the music scene in Boise has evolved to be somewhat monolithic from a genre perspective, fostering and continuing to foster styles of music such as country, pop, classic and modern rock, traditional jazz, punk, folk/folk-rock, and classical. This is not to say that there are no radical experimental musicians in Boise; rather, there simply aren't ample opportunities for them to perform, gather, and share their art.

The 1st Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival is just one of many potential vehicles that serve to proactively and Positively supplement Boise's artistic cultural diversity. It is a focused and collaborative effort to celebrate a music genre that is very much alive and thriving in cities around the globe, and has been in existence in various forms since the 1950's.

Hello Folks -

I played my last performance of the year last Saturday, that is, unless some venue proactively calls me and wants me to fill in a slot. With all the gigs and music related activities I've been involved with this summer, I decided to take a breather until the new year.

In the mean time, here are some updates and re-communications of important announcements.

Contents

1. Y2K5 International Live Looping Festival (USA 2005) a  Success!
2. My new CD Release "Descent to Self"
3. Upcoming Release: Xperimentus!
4. Live Performances Streamed to the Web
5. The First Annual Boise Festival of Experimental Music
6. My Email Distribution List (for performance, CD, and music related announcements)
7. The Hartung Twins!

1. Y2K5 International Live Looping Festival (USA 2005) a  Success!

This international festival is complete and was a great success thanks to Rick Walker, who organizes this event in Santa Cruz, CA each year.  In addition to playing at the event, I was able to stream the entire weekend of performers to the web in real-time to our peers all over the world, plus record a handful of artists. To view more details of the event, including who played, you can visit the website here: http://www.loopfestival.com/y2k5

In addition, here are the recordings I have uploaded for download so far:

2. My new CD Release "Descent to Self"

If you haven't checked it out, my new solo CD "Descent to Self" is now released and available for sale locally at the Record Exchange and online at CD Baby. Plus you can download the whole CD in MP3 format for free. Here are the details:

CD Description and Reviews

Descent to Self is a musical and introspective exploration of ideas inspired by themes such as theoretical physics, science fiction, mathematics, and philosophy. By means of real-time looping technology, Krispen Hartung weaves an avant-garde and improvisational tapestry of sounds that are colorful, innovative, and mood provoking. This instrumental work showcases Hartung's ability to fuse avant-garde jazz, experimental, and ambient music into a multifaceted musical experience.

Krispen Hartung - Acoustic & electric guitars, real-time looping, tone mangling, and computer composition

"Awe inspiring. The atmospheric bed you laid is a hauntingly beautiful
foundation for some emotionally charged guitar fx. A blissfully meditative
piece. Great guitar work and improvisational skills!" - Valkir

"Really very good.  The guitar solo part is fantastic, you really sound like
you are an accomplished player. Was not expecting to like this as usually
try to avoid the guitar but was pleasantly surprised." - DRT

"Ok this is STUNNING I'm speechless. What can you say BUT JUST EXCELLENT.
Too many things here to complement. Talented to the MAX. Cheers." - Kat
Speel

3. Upcoming Release: Xperimentus!

On Jan 1, 2006, I will release a new collaboration CD titled "Xperimentus: Krispen Hartung & Friends".

Xperimentus is a series of experimental and avant-garde compositions by Krispen Hartung and 13 other musicians from the international Looper’s Delight discussion group and community. Each composition is a duo composed virtually and in collaboration over the internet by Hartung and these amazingly creative and awe-inspiring musicians. Xperimentus is a unique blend of personalities and multiple playing styles that fuses ambient, experimental, and avant-garde music into a delightful collage of music art.

4. Live Performances Streamed to the Web

Well, I was partially correct above. I do plan to stream a few live performances to the web from my home studio, between now and the new year. I'll send details out on these, and I will likely be having some folks sit in with me to...surprise, guess local artists!

5. The First Annual Boise Festival of Experimental Music

Yes, I am an over-achiever, and playing gigs here and out of state/town just isn't enough!   I am in the initial planning stages of something that I hope will  make musical history in Boise, ID. My plans are to coordinate and host Boise's First Annual Festival of Experimental Music in the Spring '06 timeframe. I will be securing a venue this month, and then distributing flyers all over town as a call to experimental musicians to come out of the woodwork and submit their demos for review.  I have 2-3 artists that are already interested in playing, and even a few out of state experimental and veteran artists that may potentially headline the event.  Tentatively, my plans are to have 8-10 artists showcase their experimental music approach over the course of 2 weekend afternoons/evenings, plus get someone from our local university's music department to give a brief lecture on the history of experimental, avant-garde, and electronic music.  I may have some other surprises as well. More on this later....

To use up my streaming ShoutCast bandwidth for the month, I've just
opened up a stream that is cycling through 116 of my live and studio

For those of you who weren't able to make one of my two web-based performances on August 17, I recorded both sessions and uploaded them for your listening pleasure. I used the following gear setup for these performances: http://www.boisemusicians.com/gear.htm

Session 1

Inception - http://box.net/public/khartung/files/518182.html (sitar, dumbek, acoustic guitar) - * Thank you Vinnie for lending me your dumbeks and allowing me to pretend that I'm a percussionist! :) 
The Human Static - http://box.net/public/khartung/files/518279.html (acoustic guitar, voice effects, dumbek *)  
Deridee-Deridah - http://box.net/public/khartung/files/518179.html (acoustic guitar)

Session 2

The Ghost of Gigantor vs. the Savage - http://box.net/public/khartung/files/518180.html (acoustic guitar, vocal effects, dumbek *) 
Mørk og Iser -
http://box.net/public/khartung/files/518183.html (acoustic guitar)
Groovy Space Faring Machine - http://box.net/public/khartung/files/518181.html (acoustic guitar)
Nebula - http://box.net/public/khartung/files/518278.html (acoustic guitar)

Note: Somewhere in these sound clips there is a VST software glitch, but I wasn’t able to find it to edit it out…it sounds like a fluttering electronic disturbance. If you are able to find it, please let me know which song and time. Thanks.

These performances were an interesting experience.  Performing alone in my basement home studio, yet having others listening to me virtually and providing feedback via instant messenger created an interesting dynamic and feeling that I haven't experienced before. I am very pleased with these performances and look forward to doing more.

Kris

Hello Folks!

I'd like to report on the progress of two exciting, upcoming looping and improvisational CDs.

The first project is my new solo CD, entitled "Descent to Self."  Here is the preliminary project description, which will undergo some minor modifications and refinements:

"Descent to Self is a musical exploration of ideas inspired by themes such as theoretical physics, science fiction, mathematics, and philosophy. By means of real-time looping technology, Krispen Hartung weaves an avant-garde and improvisational tapestry of sounds that are colorful, innovative, and mood provoking. This instrumental work showcases Hartung's ability to fuse avant-garde jazz, experimental, and ambient music into a multi-faceted musical experience."

The CD is a mixture of improvised and computer-based studio compositions, jam packed with 17 songs and almost 80 minutes of music. It will release and go on sale physically in the November or December timeframe. However, I have decided to pre-release the CD now in digital format only. You can view the CD artwork, download/play the entire CD in MP3 format here: http://www.krispenhartung.com/descent  (how do you like the high resolution image my retina?  Thanks to Idaho Eyecare Center for that one!)

The second project I am leading is entitled "Xperimentus" and is so exciting and mind blowing that I can't even contain myself. Here is the preliminary project description, which will also undergo modifications and refinements:

"Xperimentus is a series of experimental and avant-garde duo compositions by Krispen Hartung and 13 other musicians from the international Looper’s Delight discussion group and community. Each composition is a duo composed virtually and in collaboration over the internet by Hartung and these amazingly creative and awe-inspiring musicians."

The members of this project are as follows:

Krispen Hartung (USA) - Acoustic & electric guitars, sitar, sound engineering, and project management
David Coffin (USA) - Guitar
Benoit Ruelle (Belgium) - bass, guitar, keys and a bit of drums
Simeon Harris (UK) - Guitar
Paul Mimlitsch (USA) - Guitar
Mark Francombe (Norway) - Guitar
Fabio Anile (Italy) - Keyboard, Electronics
Tony K (USA) - Guitar, Bass, Mandolin, Synths, Bongos, Electronic Drums
Clint Allen (USA) - Chapman Stick, Bass, Guitar
Sony Felberg (USA, Seattle) - Found Sound composer/ACID
Ted Killian (USA) - Guitar
Scott Hansen (USA) - Guitar
Vincent Miresse (USA) - Didjeridu, percussion
Rainer Thelonius Balthasar Straschill (Germany) - keys, bits of electric (bass) guitar and saxophone, whimsical electronics

Pending: Sheila Olson and Max Valentino

This CD will also go on sale in the November of December timeframe, and I will be consulting with the group on whether we will pre-release it digitally.   We are currently over 60% done with the CD and the results so far are out of this world.  It has been an astronomical privilege for me to collaborate with the above players in a virtual environment, integrate our playing styles, etc. I expect, or at least hope that this CD will be received well among our peers.

Cheers,

Hello All -

Now that I have the technology figured out and tested, I have decided to stream at least one web-based performance (WBP) a month from my home studio, and more if I'm not streaming my live gigs at WI-FI enabled venues.  Also look out for some of my fellow musicians from Boise, Idaho (USA) sitting in with me in a performance in the near future!

Here are the details of my first pair of official improvisational looping WBPs!

"Looper's Lunch" and "Lights Out with Looping" Web-Based Performances

45 minutes of live improvisational looping streamed to the web in real-time

Who: Me (Krispen Hartung) on acoustic guitar & sitar, percussion, and vocals

When: Wednesday, August 17 at...

  • 11am US Pacific, 12pm US Mountain, 1pm US Central, 2pm US Eastern, 7pm (London), 8pm (Stockholm/Rome/Paris)
  • 4pm US Pacific, 5pm US Mountain, 6pm US Central, 7pm US Eastern, 12am (London), 1am (Stockholm/Rome/Paris)

Where: http://216.12.162.58:9030/ (Click on "Listen")

Availability: The performance will be limited to 30 listening seats, so it is a first come first serve basis (if you can't get in, keep trying in case someone drops out)

Real-Time Feedback
To provide real-time feedback to me while I perform, you may send instant messages to me using the Yahoo, MSN, AOL, or ICQ instant messengers, sent to the following user names / IDs:

Subject: 70 Studio & Looping MP3s Filterable by 19 Categories

Hello all,

I just completed an absolutely arduous and emotional draining
project to categorize 70 of my live and studio looping MP3s (many
with Vincent Miresse) by 19 different fields or data points. I
created a Microsoft Excel tool where potential listeners can search
for my music by filtering with the following fields:

Song Title, Duration, Size, CD, Buy CD Link, Download Link, Type of
Recording, Genre/Style 1, Genre/Style 2, Genre/Style 3, Recording
Date, Venue, Musicians / Instruments, Temp, Mood/Feel 1, Mood/Feel
2, Mood/Feel 3, Mood/Feel 4, Mood/Feel 5

So, if you get a chance give the tool a try, kick the tires, drive
it around the block, and tell me what you think. Try filtering on
one of the Mood/Feel fields and then getting more granular with the
four other Mood/Feel fields. See if the songs that results from your
filter seem at all described by the Mood/Feel descriptors. And if a
particular song brings up a mood for you that you think is more
accurate than those I have listed, then by all means let me know,
and I'll make the change.  This part of the tool is "living" and
will undergo many revisions as I gather more feedback and listen to
my music again.  And if you have some better ideas on the genres for
some songs, I am entirely open to these suggestions as well.
Finally, if you can think of any other fields that would be useful,
I am open to adding those. In short, I am open to any suggestions
for improvement.

I will eventually start filling in the comments section of the tool
as well.

The tool is accessible in three formats:

Interactive HTM File: http://www.boisemusicians.com/mp3_Sort.htm (be
sure to widen the columns so that when you filter you can see all
the text in one line, especially useful for the
Musicians/Instruments field)

XML File: http://www.boisemusicians.com/mp3.xml

The Source Excel File (for Microsoft Users):
http://www.boisemusicians.com/mp3.xls

NOTE: When you click on a download link, the resulting page will
allow you to download the song by clicking on the song title, or you
can stream it from the server with the link below it.

Cheers,

Krispen Hartung

Hello folks -

I have a couple brief announcements...

First, the CD by me and Vincent Miresse, "Live at the Kulture
Klatsch," is now available on CD Baby, one of the world's most
popular online retail sites for independent musicians.  This version
of the CD includes a full color 4-panel sleeve, color CD face, plus
a double-sided color tray insert.  In short, it is the best version
of this CD we have to offer.  You can check out our CD Baby page and
new CD/duo description here:

http://cdbaby.com/cd/krispen2

If you already have this CD, which I know some of you do, please
consider going to the above site and submitting a review. We would
really appreciate it, and it would help our CD sales in the long
run! :)

Second, one of these days Vinnie and I will get around to producing
our second CD (as soon as I get two other new CDs out the door by
this December), but in the mean time I have been posting the sound
clips of our live performances on my website here:

http://www.boisemusicians.com/hartung&miresse/ (just click on the
link "Listen to New Live Sound Clips!")

Some of you who were at these performance may even remember some of
the tunes.  These clips are the raw improvisational deal - mistakes,
imperfections and glitches included.  On one song, you can even hear
a jet flying overhead at the end of the tune….yeah, I called that
tune "Jet"...really original, man.  :)

Cheers,

Kris
