Hello all,
 
Here is the scoop on my second international collaboration CD release.

Project MRI is a collection of compositions based on a set of sample recordings of a MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine. The artists, all members of (CT) Collective, manipulated these sample recordings with various effects and audio software, using the output as their final compositions, or using it as a backdrop for adding additional recorded tracks from various instruments.

Hello, hello -
 
Here is an update on my published real-time looping videos.
 
First, all of them are now on Google, all 8 of them: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Krispen+Hartung
 
Second, I just finalized the video of me and Lumper-Splitter from Oakland, CA (Joe Rut and Lucio Menegon) performing at the 2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival.
 
I really like this video, first because I have always enjoyed the natural and creative improvisational energy of Joe and Lucio; and second, because I think our performnace had some interesting sections, call and response, dynamics, and a subtle and playful reference to Lumper-Splitter's "Hello, Hello" performance last year. It's also my first vocal only performance. 
 
Check it out...let's call it "Goodbye, Goodbye":
 
 
It's me with just vocals and laptop (mainly Reaktor and some MAX generated VST effects), Joe on guitar, found sound, and elecronics; and Lucio on guitar, found sound, and electronics.
 
I hope you enjoy it!
 
Kris

I have two new videos to share (one is not so new, but wasn't available until recently).
 
1) Y2K6 International Live Looping Festival: Krispen Hartung (guitar and laptop) & Rick Walker (percussion); excerpts of the last set on Saturday night; this is the music and video behind the picture of the two of us in the recent Guitar Player ariticle. Thanks to Barry Cleveland at Guitar Player for sending me the DVD!  This is me on my PRS hollow body, my laptop (with Mobius looping software and various VSTs), and the Boss VF1 for amp simulation and ring mod
 
2) 2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival (April 27, 2007): Krispen Hartung (mandolin and laptop) & Vincent Miresse (percussion); most of the effects processing the mandolin on this one are from Reaktor, and a few max/msp patches in VST format; I hadn't converted to my pure max/msp system at the time of this festival
 
 
Cheers,
 
Kris

Hello folks -

My looping comrads and I made it into Guitar Player Magazine. Below is a link to a scanned version of the article, with pictures and text regarding the Y2K6 International Live Looping Festival. You can see me playing free jazz with my PRS Archtop.  Also, five of these cats shown played at the recent 2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival, which was approx 40% looping artists.

Subject: New CD Release: Mandolin from Mars 		kris_hartung

Send Email Send Email
 
Hello all,
 
I'd like to introduce my newest CD release, "Mandolin from Mars".  You can read more below, download sample sound clips, and view CD artwork on the web.

Mandolin from Mars is colorful and complex exploration of the 6-string mandolin and laptop computer. This work weaves a fantastic story of the "red planet," babbling mountains, and menacing telepathic messages from the ancient chimera of HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.

Krispen Hartung - 6 string mandolin, vocals, guitar, laptop computer, real-time looping

CD Themes

Anyone who has managed to follow my discography, while taking note of the themes I have emphasized as inspiration for my music, will also observe that I am almost always fixated upon the ideas of space, science fiction, and horror (especially the Lovecraftian sort). I’m afraid this CD is no different. These themes continue to occupy my thoughts and heart with the same fascination and intrigue that I experienced as a child.

As with most of my works assembled on compact disc, I tend to freely improvise the music, let the music do the talking, and then title the songs and tell the story accordingly. Mandolin from Mars has two stories to tell.

The first story is regarding this so-called "mandolin from mars." I decided to play an instrument relatively new to me, namely, the 6-string mandolin. The instrument has six single strings (not doubled like the traditional four-string mandolin), and it is tuned like a guitar. It was therefore not difficult for me, as a guitarist of 25 years, to grasp the fundamentals of the instrument and play it in a convincing manner almost immediately. However, the small fret spacing on the mandolin proved challenging and forced me to take the songs on the CD in a different direction than from the idiosyncrasies I normally exhibit on the guitar. Consequently, I titled the CD "Mandolin from Mars" because the instrument was alien to me (i.e., metaphorically from Mars), which compelled me to generate a musical feel that would seem alien to listeners relative to what they normally expect from the mandolin.

Playing the mandolin on this CD was therefore an experiment. I did not practice the instrument before recording, but rather I immersed myself directly in the instrument to express myself as best as I could without being colored by familiarity with its musical character.

The second story is the usual one. The titles and order of the pieces on this CD frame a series of images and concepts. Here is the “CliffsNotes” version: The so-called face of Mars sends a radio message to Earth, which the title depicts as “Unintelligible Archetypal Babble from the Face.” This concept is accentuated by the fact that it is the only song on the CD that was recorded with only my voice, processed with the laptop computer. After the babble from the face, Earth sends out a manned probe to investigate. (Remind you of "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "2010: The Year We Make Contact"? It should.) During the space trek to the red plant, and while in their life support cold-sleep units, the astronauts are haunted and possessed by telepathic and menacing messages from an alien being on Mars. (The being is Cthulhu, and this is basically consistent with the Cthulhu Mythos for anyone into that story by HP Lovecraft.) Think of this when you hear the song “Astrophonic Dreams in the Tube,” but take note that some of the sound effects you hear are a processed recording of an MRI machine. (I was inspired to do this after receiving an MRI and experiencing back surgery.) I actually enjoyed the MRI, which inspired me to produce more CDs like this!

...back to the story. Shortly before the manned space probe lands on Mars, Earth loses contact (“Probe Out”), after which the astronauts are driven (again by telepathic commands from Cthulhu) to cultivate some of the "trenches" on Mars, fill them with water (“Thirst for Ancient Shores”), and then reanimate Cthulhu, the ancient Lovecraftian beast. After this activity, Cthulhu rises to the planet’s surface to...well, who knows? That is for the imagination of Lovecraft fans, but one might suspect that the creature remains on Mars to build a new alien kingdom. Either that or he makes his way back to earth to torment us…

Cheers,

Kris

2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival (BEMF): DID YOU KNOW? (#4)


DID YOU KNOW that the Transhumans' drummer, Bob Sterling, was homeless in the early 1970's (before it became fashionable), living in an abandoned van in an alley in Venice California, scraping together money at swap meets, and collecting food from dumpsters part of the time? And did you know that he was one of the original drummers in the S. California rock band called "Pacific Gas and Electric" in the late 60's?  Eventually, Bob went  to graduate school, wound up in New York city playing in jazz clubs for several years, and studied with such luminaries as Jack Dejohnette, Victor Lewis, Andrew Cyrille, Sal Mosca, and Lynn Oliver. Sterling currently lives in Ventura, California, working with the Transhumans and other projects.
 
Don't miss the Transhumans' set at BEMF, Saturday, April 28 @ 10:40pm.

2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival (BEMF): DID YOU KNOW? (#3)


DID YOU KNOW that before Jeff Kaiser (BEMF performer) was a full-time musician focusing on creative composed and improvised music, he was a licensed and ordained minister?  He also played electric guitar and sang in punk rock bands; played the trumpet calls for HBOs "Deadwood" (the episode when the Calvary comes to town); and has composed, produced, directed, and staged numerous operas and large scale works for choirs and instrumental ensembles.
 
Kaiser currently writes an eclectic newspaper column called "The Noise and Then Numinous"  for the Tehachapi Mountain Signal worship section.  He has created and performed antiphonal works for various acoustic and electronic ensembles from the tops of multiple buildings in Ventura, CA; and he will begin his PhD in Critical Studies and Experimental Practices at UCSD in the Fall of 2007.  He is a strict vegan who loves chess, yoga, green tea, scotch, and cigars (not necessarily at the same time).
 
Finally, Jeff loves to play his custom quartertone trumpet through software he creates himself in Max/MSP (BTW, 4 other performers also use Cycling 74's MAX/MSP program - check it out: http://www.cycling74.com/products/maxmsp). 
 
Don't miss Jeff  perform with Gregory Taylor on stage for BEMF, Friday April 27 @ 10:40pm and Saturday April 28 @ 3:30pm, as this will be the first time they perform together!

2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival (BEMF): DID YOU KNOW? (#2)


DID YOU KNOW that BEMF performer, Rick Walker, was once the lead dancer in the first American theater troupe to ever perform in Indonesia, and that in the same week he was hired, he was also asked to be the West Coast editor of New York Rocker magazine (the number one New Wave rock and roll magazine in the early 1980's)?   He eventually turned down both offers so that he could dedicate his life to making music, reasoning that he'd rather make music than write about it.
 
In addition, Rick has produced 21 live looping festivals, including the World's First Women's Live Looping Festival, the First Bass Live Looping Festival, the First Bass Live Looping Tour (with fellow loopers Michael Manring, Steve Lawson and Max Valentino). He is now planning the Y2K7 International Live Looping Festival, the largest gathering of live loopers in history.  View the Y2K6 festival website at  http://www.y2k6loopfest.com/ and Rick's page at http://www.looppool.info/

2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival (BEMF): DID YOU KNOW? (#1)


DID YOU KNOW that the BEMF 2 will mark a historic occasion for Z'EV and Moe! Staiano to perform together for the first time?
 
With a discography of over 40 albums as far back as 1981, and appearing on over 40 other works, "Z'EV is a one-man percussion orchestra. Using a battery of industrial discards, Z'EV makes perhaps the only thoroughly literal heavy metal music on earth. Bycreating 'drums' out of materials like stainless steel, he creates stunningly fresh and emotionally uncategorizable mini-symphonies...Incorporating these traditional methods into his distinctly personal musical vision of sound, Z'EV has consistently produced vital examples of his craft for a host of noted labels including Soleilmoon, C.I.P, Touch and Die Stadt and a commissioned piece for John Zorn's "Radical Jewish Music" series on Zaddik.  His record "Bust This" was chosen in 1988 by The Wire as one of the greatest 50 percussion albums of all time." (More at http://www.radoncollective.org/artists/zev/home.html)
 
Moe! Staiano is a percussionist who usually uses found objects, but has moved to doing drumming on found objects on his trap set (i.e. prepared percussion). Moe! has experimented through the years though solo percussion using pipes, food pans, pressure caps, sheet metals, nick-nacks & other stuff that has been found, given or stolen (mainly from Pizza Hut when he worked there including a nifty Spatula that he bows). One can expect to see Moe!'s show as a visual eye pleaser: running around throwing pipes on concrete, walking on pans with his feet to mute sounds or running amok, throwing his body into old cassette tapes or two dozen cymbals in any given performance. His shows can sometimes expect a big mess in one fashion or another (which he replies that the aftermath of his performances represents his life) with implements of mixers & vibrators on objects spewed throughout the set. He has two CD's out of his solo/collaborative recordings. The second CD, "The Lateness of Yearly Presentations" was released in 2002 on his micro-label Dephine Knormal Musik, a release split with a French label, Amanita Records. The first solo CD The Non-Study of First Impressions, is now out of print. He finished recording and mixing a third solo CD due next year, entitled The Absolute Tradition of No Traditions and will be released through Psychform Records.

Tickets are on sale at Visual Arts Collective, the Boise Co-Op, and at the BEMF website for 18 more days!

Hello Boise Musicians Discussion Group -
 
First of all, check out the performance line-up for the 2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival (BEMF).  We have some amazingly talented and creative musicians performing at the event, which will allow this festival to feature a type of music that is rarely ever heard or promoted locally. The sounds that are going to come out of Visual Arts Collective on April 26-28 are going to be out of ths world.  At no other time or place in Boise will you be able to see such a focused and professional representation of the creative and avant-garde music arts.
 
http://www.boisemusicians.com/BEMF-2/  (Local acts include Amy Vecchione, Breccia, Craig Green, Gretchen Jude, Jared Hallock, Patrick Benolkin, and Unicorn Feather).
 
Second, last month I announced the release of the 2-CD set for the 1st Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival, and I indicated that all proceeds are going directly to support festival performer travel expenses.  I have decided to expand this to my entire discography.
 
Starting now, all of my CD sales will go to supporting musicians for the current and future Boise Experimental Music Festivals (and I'm sure there will be many more for years to come). I decided to this because BEMF is my most valued music event of the year, and I don't really need to sell CDs for my personal income. So I figured I would just devote sales to better cause and community oriented event. 
 
I have listed all the works in my discography below, with links to the pages that provide more info, links to buy, and sample sound clips. 
 
With 18 out-of-state performers playing at the event, and combined travel expenses being in the range of $10,000, each CD sale can potentially fund 1-3% of a performers travel expenses...not a lot, but every bit counts.  This may appear like an indirect form of shameless self-promotion, but the reality is that obtaining financial support for these type of events is no easy task, if not completely excruciating.  No doubt, I will personally go in the hole again this year, but my payback is the experience and the ability to meet and play with so many wonderful musicians. 
 
And finally, Tarey P. from Thee Art Of (http://www.theeartof.com/), who is also doing all the video, photography, and background film for the festival, is selling his new CD "NACHSTE OSTARA: Thee Art Of Music Compilation II", at the event and donating proceeds to BEMF as well. More info on that compilation here: http://www.theeartof.com/news.html  Tarey and team are already providing an amazing level of support for BEMF, and so this gesture is going above and beyond the normal call of duty!
Cheers,
 
Kris

This is a pre-Press Release announcement of the 2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival (BEMF 2).

Subject: Mandolin from Mars: Proto-Soundclips for Review 		kris_hartung

Send Email Send Email
  
I have four "proto-soundclips" ready on myspace now, from my upcoming
improvisational CD "Mandolin from Mars". I haven't decided whether all of
these will be on the CD yet. I'm waiting until I have 20 or so songs
complete. Anyway, I'd love any thoughts or comments on them.

I'm using a Goldtone 6-string mandolin, running through an LR Baggs acoustic
preamp, my laptop system, various VST and MAX/MSP effects, Reaktor, Mobius
for looping, etc.  One song, "Astrophonic Dreams in the Tube", which will
also be on Project MRI (Chain Tape Collective), uses an ambient substratum,
a recording of an MRI machine and processed like mad by Reaktor and other
VSTs....depictions of my wonderful daydreams while getting my lower back
scanned in the tube last year before back surgery....delightful experience,
if I may add.

Check em' out...the CD should be ready in late Spring.

Thirst for Ancient Shores, Probe Out, Trenches)

Cheers,

Kris

Send Email Send Email
 
Hello all -
 
Part of making this festival a success, given that it is fundamentally a non-profit event, is the number of people willing to volunteer their time, services, and financial backing to support the program.
 
Tarey P. and "Thee Art Of" have volunteered to take on the photography of the event again, which is outstanding. They took some great pictures of last year's festival, if you haven't already seen them yet. In addition, Aaron Davis has volunteered to be the Sound and Recording Technician again, which is also a huge plus, given the immaculate job he did last year running sound and recording the entire event.
 
At this time in the planning stage, I am asking for the following volunteers and services:
 
2 Stage Managers: help musicians load and unload gear, keep their sets on time, help resolve other stage-related problems
 
2 Sound Technician assistants: to manage the mixer boards on the stages, assist Aaron Davis, and help resolve issues related to sound on the stages
 
3 Flyer and Promo Material Distributors: distribute posters, flyers, and promo cards around Boise and the Treasure Valley
 
Sponsor Scout: find sponsors for the event who can offer either services or financial backing for the event in exchange for presence at the vent, advertisement via BEMF 2 promotions, etc.  The Sponsor Scout will keep 20% commission of all financial proceeds from paying sponsors that they themselves secure
 
2 Concession Booth Coordinators: Sell CDs and performer paraphernalia
 
Event MC: Announce performers, make announcements during performance transitions, etc
 
Internet Streaming Technician: Stream the performances to the Internet
 
Performer Lodging: Anyone willing to allow performers from out of state or from other countries stay at your home to help reduce their travel costs
 
If you are interested in any of these event team roles, or know of anyone interesting, please contact me ASAP.
 
Thank you,
 
Kris Hartung

Hello all,
 
This new CD release is a collection of songs I have been sitting on for some time, but just haven't had the chance to design the CD, package them, and get it out.  Here it is, at last...probably the last CD you'll see from me for a while that isn't entirely off the deep end (next stop is planet Mars).  I'll send free copies out to the first five people who reply to this email.

Fragments is a collection of live electro-acoustic performances recorded at public venues or via the Internet. This free improvisational and avant-garde work exhibits a balance between the sound of the acoustic guitar and electronic processing via the notebook computer and various tone altering effects.

Krispen Hartung - Guitar, real-time looping, voice, percussion, computer-based signal processing

 
 
More info the CD, including MP3 Samples here: http://www.krispenhartung.com/fragments/index.htm
 

MP3 Samples

The Human Static
Mørk og Iser
Attack of the Mini Tabla
Groovy Space Faring Machine
Ghost of Gigantor vs. the Savage
Insectoid Moxie
Nebula

 
Cheers,
 
Kris

Hello all,

I'd like to wish you all a very special holiday season with your friends and
family!  Drink, eat, and be merry!

I just finished recording a holiday song for you all - a basic
interpretation of Mel Torme's "The Christmas Song" or "Chestnuts Roasting on
an Open Fire".  I re-harmonized the chord changes, just slightly, to darken
it up a bit and give it that Hartung spice. :)

Y2K6 Live Looping Festival

Y2K6 Live Looping Festival Celebrates Fifth Year with Expansive Program and Internet Jam


Over 50 artists from around the globe will converge on the San Francisco Bay Area this fall for the Fifth Annual Y26K Live Looping Festival. Perfomers from across the United States and as many as 10 other countries will appear in Santa Cruz, Calif., on October 21 and 22, for the main two days of the festival. Additional festival-related events will be held in San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland during the week preceding the main festival.

The brainchild of live looping artist and promoter Rick Walker, Y26K and other looping festivals he has created have inspired similar festivals in 15 countries around the world, including the Zurich Live Looping Festival last summer, which drew 40 artists from nine countries over its three days.

In a demonstration of the technological edge defined by the live looping genre, the Y26K festival will be streamed in real time to the web, and will feature a real-time Internet jam, using NINJam technology, between musicians at the festival and live loopers from Europe, the UK, South America, the Near East and Japan.

This year’s event coincides with the 10th anniversary of loopersdelight.com , the website that serves as the central gathering point and information exchange for the international live looping movement. Looper’s Delight currently receives over a million hits a year now.

Featuring performances from PER BOYSEN (Sweden), MIR-0 (Finland), BILL WALKER (USA), RAINER STRASCHILL (Germany), ARTIS theSPOONMAN (MARS), JEFF KAISER (USA), KRISPEN HARTUNG (USA), ZOE KEATING (USA), MANDO MAN (Japan), RYUSEI HATTORI (Japan), LOOP!STATION (USA), AMY X NEUBURG (USA)

    The Main Y2K6 Festival occurs on October 21 and 22 (Saturday and Sunday), at ALCHEMY, 120 Pearl Alley, Santa Cruz, CA.

    Alchemy is located in the northern side of the parking lot that borders Pearl Alley at the corner of Lincoln and Cedar Streets, one block due west, of the Pacific Garden Mall.         mapQuest

     

    About Live Looping and the Loopers Community


    Looping is a broad class of music based on the idea of performances and recordings built using long delay lines. Looping artists use a variety of sources to generate layered textures which are manipulated in real-time in various ways (including reversal, time or pitch shifting, etc.), resulting in complex interactive compositions. The breadth of the looping genre will be well demonstrated at the Y26K festival, which will guitarists, cellists, trumpet players, solo singers, fusion bands, avant-garde musicians, circuit benders, abstract electronica artists, even comedians and spoken word artists.


    What is fascinating about the loopers community is that it is a tightly knit group of musicians and sound artists not tied by style of music. With the use of delay lines as a medium being the only commonality, the range of musical styles created by loopers is diverse and may be, by turns, hypnotic, propulsive, ethereal, or simply bizarre.


    In another sign of the dedication of looping devotees, neither the festival’s organizers nor the musicians performing at the festival receive any compensation, and all travel at their own expense.

    The high level of activity in the fast-growing live looping field has had a huge impact on the rapid development of its technology in the past three years. Some looping artists and other members of the community run small companies designing live looping tools. Some examples include Matthias Grob of Brazil, inventor of the Gibson Digital Echoplex; Bob Amstadt , creater of the Looperlative, currently the most sophisticated live looping hardware device; Andrew Ostler, with his Augustus Loop; and Jeffrey Larson’s Mobius. As a result, in addition to its musical role, the Y26K festival has also consistently served as the site for world premieres of this cutting-edge technology.

Y2K6 Live Looping Festival Celebrates Fifth Year with Expansive Program and Internet Jam


Over 50 artists from around the globe will converge on the San Francisco Bay Area this fall for the Fifth Annual Y26K Live Looping Festival. Perfomers from across the United States and as many as 10 other countries will appear in Santa Cruz, Calif., on October 21 and 22, for the main two days of the festival. Additional festival-related events will be held in San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland during the week preceding the main festival.

The brainchild of live looping artist and promoter Rick Walker, Y26K and other looping festivals he has created have inspired similar festivals in 15 countries around the world, including the Zurich Live Looping Festival last summer, which drew 40 artists from nine countries over its three days.

In a demonstration of the technological edge defined by the live looping genre, the Y26K festival will be streamed in real time to the web, and will feature a real-time Internet jam, using NINJam technology, between musicians at the festival and live loopers from Europe, the UK, South America, the Near East and Japan.

This year’s event coincides with the 10th anniversary of loopersdelight.com , the website that serves as the central gathering point and information exchange for the international live looping movement. Looper’s Delight currently receives over a million hits a year now.

Featuring performances from PER BOYSEN (Sweden), MIR-0 (Finland), BILL WALKER (USA), RAINER STRASCHILL (Germany), ARTIS theSPOONMAN (MARS), JEFF KAISER (USA), KRISPEN HARTUNG (USA), ZOE KEATING (USA), MANDO MAN (Japan), RYUSEI HATTORI (Japan), LOOP!STATION (USA), AMY X NEUBURG (USA)

    About Live Looping and the Loopers Community


    Looping is a broad class of music based on the idea of performances and recordings built using long delay lines. Looping artists use a variety of sources to generate layered textures which are manipulated in real-time in various ways (including reversal, time or pitch shifting, etc.), resulting in complex interactive compositions. The breadth of the looping genre will be well demonstrated at the Y26K festival, which will guitarists, cellists, trumpet players, solo singers, fusion bands, avant-garde musicians, circuit benders, abstract electronica artists, even comedians and spoken word artists.


    What is fascinating about the loopers community is that it is a tightly knit group of musicians and sound artists not tied by style of music. With the use of delay lines as a medium being the only commonality, the range of musical styles created by loopers is diverse and may be, by turns, hypnotic, propulsive, ethereal, or simply bizarre.


    In another sign of the dedication of looping devotees, neither the festival’s organizers nor the musicians performing at the festival receive any compensation, and all travel at their own expense.

    The high level of activity in the fast-growing live looping field has had a huge impact on the rapid development of its technology in the past three years. Some looping artists and other members of the community run small companies designing live looping tools. Some examples include Matthias Grob of Brazil, inventor of the Gibson Digital Echoplex; Bob Amstadt , creater of the Looperlative, currently the most sophisticated live looping hardware device; Andrew Ostler, with his Augustus Loop; and Jeffrey Larson’s Mobius. As a result, in addition to its musical role, the Y26K festival has also consistently served as the site for world premieres of this cutting-edge technology.

Hello all,

  I just made a major change to my CD sales approach.  From now on I am
  selling all of my CDs for $5.00 USD. This is marked down from $13.00.  You
  can view all five of them on CD Baby here:

  http://cdbaby.com/all/khartung

  I will also be selling them in person for $5.00, so if you happen to be at
  Y2K6, check out my stuff at the concessions table.

  Cheers,
