{R}ake January 25, 2006

The a/v performance series {R}ake returns after a short hiatus.

{R}ake focuses on electro-acoustic musicians and live video
artists who integrate their mediums in exploratory and collaborative
ways. {R}ake has called on some of its past performers to
generate a night fitting the unique space and ambience of
Monkey Town, creating music and multi-channel video appropriate
to both performance and dining in-the-round.

The evening features a/v improvisations ranging from the
sublime to the darkly absurd, investigations of sonic textures
and melodies intersecting with representational and abstract
video, and interpretations of John Cage. Means of production
include acoustic instruments, laptops, live cameras, software
and a table full of odd and found objects.

their work, visit:
