INTERZONE REPORT July 2008

Hi all,

In spite of the context of the holidays, this month has been very active and full of events in the whole Zone. I could not go to the festival in Joujouka, because I am broke, but I wish I can visit them when circumstances allow it.

I have been meeting Jean-Marc Vincent http://www.myspace.com/ecritures , long time friend since we met in Bourges with Burroughs and Gysin in 1984 : Jean-Marc has a number of unpublished photos of them both. he made the ones below.

I also met for the first time Théophile Aries http://www.myspace.com/teopeaks , a young musician of the group Underwires http://www.myspace.com/underwiresmusic and underwires.net who lives in Berlin. See his site on Burroughs (in French) at http://theo.underwires.net/ , which contains a lot of interesting documents.

Interzone : 11 years :

Today August 2nd will be the eleventh anniversary of Burroughs' death, and August 2008, the eleventh anniversary if the creation of Interzone.

For those who would like to have a chat, we can meet in the chat of Interzone forum : you first have to register and then validate your registration by mail. If it does not work (it happens sometimes), send me a personal message or register with another pseudo and pass word.

BoaVista : site on line

The navigators are going on their trip through Portugal where they stopped some days, then Morocco, Essaouira. Then they went to Canaries and are on the way of Senegal.

Here is the contents of their latest mail :

At last a harbor where the Wi-fi works and where I have enough time to drop a line : we are in the Canaries in Lanzarote, in a small port, a cool and clean one, ...Puerto Calero
I could not send more information about the progression because of connection problems, and also because of the surprises of navigation.
We stayed two days in Porto, from July 2 to 5 , Lisbon from july 6 to 9 , Essaouira in Morocco from Saturday 12 to Saturday July 19, with a car drive to Safi, another Moroccan city, famous for its potteries.

Then we took the sea for the Canaries and arrived at Graciosa, but the weather, cloudy and nearly cold, drove us ahead with a strange episode for the team in Graciosa : we ran aground, high and dry, because of the marling we had under-evaluated... we had to wait for the tide to become high for the boat to right up and end to scrape the ground, without damage though.

Esaouira is a loving city in spite of the dirt and pollution , we were the only yatch in the harbor, surrounded by and army of sea gypsies, sailors who handle heavy boats with a remarkable skill. I bought a very old choukara : it's a Berber bag ... Except this, our expenses are very limited at the moment. We are waiting for Senegal to spend more.

After this step, we go to Fuerto Ventura, and the next destination is Capo Verde... But everything is decided at the last moment, according to the winds and the decisions of the team.

It's starting to be hot, I had a beginning of insolation as well as Christian, coming back from Marrakesch where he spent the day with Fabienne. We are ok now....

We hope to stay some days in Capo Verde to rest , navigation is not so easy , specially in the front cabin , sleeping sometimes is a wager because the boat moves a lot.... and those islands are really ideal to wander on the desert beaches.

I have no time to type all the details of our adventures : finally it is very difficult due to the problems of energy, connections, and necessary time....

Today is washing day : we drink pineapple juice while writing the mails. The heat is at least 30° !!! The team is ok, no insurmountable problem until now....

The new site on this trip is at http://boavistaboavista.free.fr/ The first photos of La Rochelle and Lisbonne are one line.

Jean-Michel Gosselin: JIMPROVISE 2008

*J.I.M.PROVISE* 2008

August 15, 16 & 17

OffOffOff de OUT.IN.MARCIAC de l’ IMPROVISATION LIBRE

Stéphane GRISELIN, Gilles VIGNES et Jean-Michel GOSSELIN organize improvised free meetings on August 15, 16 and 17 in Marciac in the department Gers, at the same time as the international jazz festival.

The shows at the café Le Nain Bleu will happen in front of the exposition of the artist Bruno Loire :
www.lesamantsdumarche-resto-bio.com/loire

The first aim of J.I.M.PROVISE is to create meetings inviting artists of comtemporary rock, jazz and free improvisation, to spread the different tendencies, establish exchanges, bring reflection at the scale of the region.

On the artisanal site of an old sawmill, 4 kms far from the village Marciac, these friends welcome you and host you, feed you and improvise during 3days , in a convivial atmosphere.

This festival is opened to all who improvise in music, dance, performance, installation, amateurs and the public.

A free participation is asked the public to bring money for the artists' expenses.

The concerts will take place in open air, or in a concert room in case of rain.
The artists are hosted in a closed building, but the are asked to foresee a pack sack and mattress. It's possible to put a tent under a very big covered and closed shelter (but foresee a mattress).

People who accompany them can be hosted in the limit of available room, but a participation of 2 € per person is required (breakfast offered) , and in any case, you have to book in advance.

Rooms in the shade are available for trucks and camping cars, with a permanent access to drinkable water.

A map of the place in Marciac will be given to you.

Invitation: HELVEDESMASKINEN kører igen (22.+23. august)/ The Infernal Machine a collective sound installation up and running

*THE INFERNAL MACHINE*
/HELVEDESMASKINEN

August 22. 23. at Under Vand (http://www.undervand.org/) /A collective lo-fi multispeaker sound-installation /
/run and edited by Tobias Kirstein and Sune T. B. Nielsen/

THE CONCEPT
THE INFERNAL MACHINE is placed in a yet unseen field between different performance strategies: DJ-live mix, sound installation and multispeaker concert.
THE INFERNAL MACHINE is a collective installation in two senses of the word: Firstly we collect old loudspeakers and amplifiers that people were going to dump anyway. Secondly a wide range of different sound artists/musicians/composers, both Danish and international, are invited to contribute with sounds and the contributors are invited to do a live mix on the installation, while machine is running.
Most machines are built out of various mechanical parts, where most parts are made in different places and by different people. Sonically THE INFERNAL MACHINE is built from sounds (each of them replaceable at
any time) that are made by different people. Each time THE INFERNAL MACHINE is run, a number of CD’s/or computer players are played at the same time and played on repeat. This way there is no definite ending and especially no definite sound.

THE SETUP
The setup consists of a large (and growing) number of thrown-away consumer loudspeakers and amplifiers - all of them found in the garbage or given to us.
Each old amplifier is connected to as many speakers as possible. Each amplifier/speaker-setup functions as one self-powered loudspeaker – most of them sounding quite characteristic.
This time we hope to build a multispeaker setup with 20-30 channels (all mono).

Please send us sounds on CDR (audio or data) or upload, and you will be part of the big collective soundinstallation – The Infernal Machine.

Please note that there will be a warm-up friday 25/7 at the opening of the exhibition at Under Vand, where it's all happening. If you want to participate there, please tell us quickly.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPAINTING, BY SENDING SOUND OR/AND MIXING, PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR DETAILS.

Best regards
The enginemen
Kirstein & Nielsen

Naked Lunch@50: Symposium

Théophile Aries sent me the info about this festival organized by Oliver Harris, which will take place in Paris from 1st to 3rd July 2009, and might interest a number of Zoners. I have got in touch with Olivier Harris to introduce the Zone to him and our works and researches on Burroughs and Gysin.

We welcome proposals that range from short papers (15 minutes) to longer talks (30 minutes), from multi-media presentations to panel discussions and open mic debates. In English and in French, we are looking for original and innovative contributions from scholars and Burroughsians under the headings: The Untold Naked Lunch / A Post-Colonial Lunch / Naked Paris / Naked Lunch Now.

All Symposium sessions, which will run in parallel with one another and with other events including film-screenings, exhibitions, and readings, will take place at the University of London Institute in Paris, 1st to 3rd July 2009.
You are welcome to get in touch with any ideas or questions, but all proposals need to be received by 30th October 2008, sent to: Oliver Harris. Decisions will be made by the Symposium organisers as soon as possible after that.

Further information about the Symposium, about all other anniversary homage events in Paris, 1st to 4th July 2009, and about the book launch of Naked Lunch@50: Anniversary Essays, will be posted on the nakedlunch.org website when this goes fully online during the summer.

Funnily enough, Paul Watson and I have been working in the same direction for alternative publishing : see the links to his articles in the newsletter below . We presently are in touch to go forward together with Paul Hawkins.

The Lazarus corporation: alternative visual art, music & writing

New "Notebook" Section & New Art Project - "The Book of the Erinyes"

We've recently launched the new Notebook section of the Lazarus Corporation website, and it's being baptised with a new project - The Book of the Erinyes, so go to the Notebook for full details.

The Book of the Erinyes is a limited edition series of handmade artists books, based around the Erinyes (or Furies) of Ancient Greek legend.

The whole artistic process will be openly documented on the Notebook (and the forum), and I'm adopting a freemium sales model which I've described in my blog.

And of the subject of blogging

We're getting deeper into ideas for online art marketing & promotion on the Lazarus Corporation blog. Here's some quick links to a choice selection of some of the latest articles:

• Open planning my new artwork and freeconomics
• Freeconomics and McFly
• A basic strategy for music in 5 steps
• take my images - they are not my art
• Social Networks - Pure and Applied
• Five things not to do on your artists website
• a summary of freeconomic models
• The future for Publishers
• Underpricing your work is good
• Five MySpace Mistakes for Visual Artists
• resources: selling art online
• How to get 1000 true fans and succeed as an artist in a long tail economy
• Strategies: creating a website for your art, music or writing (part 1)

Discussion Forum

And finally, for what we'll euphemistically call "less structured discussion", there's the Lazarus Corporation Discussion Forum where interesting debate and news of good art, music, books and cinema lives side-by-side with chat, gossip and gobbledygook.

There's more artwork due soon, and a completely redeveloped section of the site due in a little over 2 weeks. We hope to see you there.

Neil Young: CSNY: Déjà Vu..... UK Release

CSNY/ DÉJÀ VU
A film by Neil Young

Neil Young's new film CSNY Deja Vu comes to UK cinemas on July 18th. Also available from July 18th on Film Flex in Movies On Demand on Virgin Media.

The war in Iraq is the backdrop as the CSNY "Freedom of Speech Tour" crisscrosses North America. The film examines the band's connection to its audience in both political and musical terms, and examines the relationship between Vietnam-era anti-war sentiment and today's post-9/11 environment. A Vietnam veteran sums it all up: "It's deja vu all over again."

"One of the finest music documentaries in recent memory… a resounding success"
Time Out ****

"An exceptional rockumentary...riveting!"
Empire ****
Featuring: David Crosby, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Steven Colbert

Short Synopsis:
The war in Iraq is the backdrop as the CSNY "Freedom of Speech Tour" crisscrosses North America. The film examines the band's connection to its audience in both political and musical terms, and examines the relationship between Vietnam-era anti-war sentiment and today's post-9/11 environment. A Vietnam veteran sums it all up: "It's deja vu all over again."

Long Synopsis:
Since their debut in the late 'sixties, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young have functioned as the "town criers" of their generation. With songs like "Ohio" and "Find the Cost of Freedom", CSNY were in the forefront of Vietnam-era protest and anti-war sentiment. Though fondly remembered for their harmonies and love songs, the band has never lost their political edge.

"CSNY: Deja Vu" finds the band heading out on their "Freedom of Speech 2006" of North America, featuring music from Neil Young's controversial "Living With War" CD. With "Embedded" reporter Mike Cerre aboard, the film documents audience reactions to the music and the band's ongoing connection with its fans, all against the backdrop of the Iraq/Afghanistan War. The film also examines events surrounding the Tour in the crucial election season of 2006.

Songs from the tour are woven together with archival material, news footage, and audience reaction and observations, as the film examines the issues surrounding the integration of politics and art.

About the Director:
Bernard Shakey is the autocratic Svengali behind a series of films featuring Neil Young. His films include (Journey Though The Past, Rust Never Sleeps, Human Highway, greendale). His company name, Shakey Pictures, provides an apt description of the relationship between the director and Mr. Young.

Short Synopsis:
The war in Iraq is the backdrop as the CSNY "Freedom of Speech Tour" crisscrosses North America. The film examines the band's connection to its audience in both political and musical terms, and examines the relationship between Vietnam-era anti-war sentiment and today's post-9/11 environment. A Vietnam veteran sums it all up: "It's deja vu all over again."

Long Synopsis:
Since their debut in the late 'sixties, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young have functioned as the "town criers" of their generation. With songs like "Ohio" and "Find the Cost of Freedom", CSNY were in the forefront of Vietnam-era protest and anti-war sentiment. Though fondly remembered for their harmonies and love songs, the band has never lost their political edge.

"CSNY: Deja Vu" finds the band heading out on their "Freedom of Speech 2006" of North America, featuring music from Neil Young's controversial "Living With War" CD. With "Embedded" reporter Mike Cerre aboard, the film documents audience reactions to the music and the band's ongoing connection with its fans, all against the backdrop of the Iraq/Afghanistan War. The film also examines events surrounding the Tour in the crucial election season of 2006.

Songs from the tour are woven together with archival material, news footage, and audience reaction and observations, as the film examines the issues surrounding the integration of politics and art.

About the Director:
Bernard Shakey is the autocratic Svengali behind a series of films featuring Neil Young. His films include (Journey Though The Past, Rust Never Sleeps, Human Highway, greendale). His company name, Shakey Pictures, provides an apt description of the relationship between the director and Mr. Young.

Neil Young : CSNY: Déjà Vu LIVE

14 juil. 2008, 08:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CSNY: Déjà Vu LIVE
ALBUM TO BE RELEASED THIS MONTH
FREEDOM OF SPEECH 2006 TOUR RECORDING OUT IN CONJUNCTION WITH DOCUMENTARY FILM
CSNY: Déjà Vu LIVE is a sixteen track audio companion to CSNY: Déjà Vu, the new documentary film directed by Neil Young that opens in theaters at the end of this month. The album will be released by Reprise Records on July 22nd and serves as the film's de facto soundtrack.

The film chronicles Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's 2006 North of American Freedom of Speech Tour that focused on the musicians' stand against the War in Iraq and the impact that conflict has had on public opinion. While the documentary deals with the interaction between the band, audience, media and general population, the album includes full-length versions of songs that are heard as excerpts in the film. In some ways, the album serves as a kind of live greatest hits collection augmented by key songs from Young's earlier, controversial Living With War album. It offers the listener an opportunity to experience the legendary group's repertoire through the prism of contemporary conflict. In the film, songs from the tour are woven together with archival material, news footage, and audience reaction and observations, as issues surrounding the integration of politics and art are examined and observed.

The performances are presented as they happened, with no overdubs, making CSNY: Déjà Vu LIVE nothing less than exactly what its title indicates, a rarity these days when most "live" albums are tweaked to perfection in post-production. The only instance of "studio magic," so to speak is a 100 voice choir which was recorded prior to the tour at Capitol Records Studios in Hollywood. Concert audiences heard the choir's performance piped into concert venues so that aspect is retained in the album as it serves to replicate the actual concert experience.

In a recent Billboard interview, Young who produced the album with filmmaker L.A. Johnson explained the idea behind the approach. "It really is CSNY. It's not overdubbed, There's no fixes. It's straight from the board. The basic mixes are the mixes that people heard when we were playing it," Young explained. "So it's got rough spots all the way through it, which I think is refreshing, especially considering the subject matter. It is what it is, and that's the message of the music." Backing musicians who performed on the tour and heard on the album include Rick Rosas (bass), Chad Cromwell (drums), Spooner Oldham (keyboards), Ben Keith (pedal steel) and Tom Bray (trumpet). 100 Voices Choir was conducted by Darrell Brown and Rosemary Butler.

Since the group's inception in the 1960's, joining elements of the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Hollies, its members have been icons of musical activism. The film and the album are extensions of that CSNY tradition that continues to this day. David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young have all been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Crosby was inducted as part of the Byrds and, separately, for his role in Crosby, Stills & Nash; Stills was inducted for his role in both the Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash, Nash was inducted as a founding member of Crosby, Stills & Nash and Neil Young was inducted as part of Buffalo Springfield and as a solo artist.

The film CSNY: Déjà Vu is in theatres and offered as video on demand on July 25, released through Lionsgate.

Invitation: HELVEDESMASKINEN kører igen (22.+23. august)/ The Infernal Machine a collective sound installation up and running

For english version scroll down

Den store kollektive højttalerinstallation HELVEDESMASKINEN som Sune TB
Nielsen og Tobias Kirstein har bygget, kører fra fredag d. 22/8 kl 18.00
til søndag d. 24/8 kl 06.00!

HELVEDESMASKINEN består af mere end 40 kasserede højttalere og
forstærkere som vi enten har fundet i storskald eller fået forærende.
Hver har deres personlige vinkel på lydgengivelse. Alt sluttes til en
eller flere mixere, og ind i mixeren sender vi så mange lyde på én gang
som muligt. Alle bidragydere inviteres også til at komme og live-mixe.

Send os et lydbidrag på CDR (audio eller data) eller upload den. Alle
bidrag skal ligge inden for ét af frekvensområderne HØJ, MELLEM eller
LAV. Alle bidrag afspilles i MONO, så vi anbefaler at audiocd-er har det
samme i både
højre og venstre.

Når vi sætter MASKINEN igang er alle der har sendt os et lydbidrag
automatisk en del af installationen og er velkommne til at komme forbi
og mixe outputtet som de lyster. Alle tidligere bidrag indgår naturligt
i helvedesmaskinens brændstof og alle der har indleveret benzin på bålet
i forne tider er derfor velkomne.

Vi sigter på at så mange bidrag som muligt, afspilles samtidig.
Vi håber at få et sted mellem 20 og 30 kanaler kørende.

HVIS DU HAR LYST TIL AT SENDE ET (NYT) BIDRAG (ELLER KENDER NOGEN DER
HAR LYST TIL AT VÆRE MED) TIL HELVEDESMASKINEN SÅ SVAR PÅ DENNE MAIL SÅ
HURTIGT SOM MULIGT (Senest lørdag d 17/7 !!!!).

NB: Der bliver en Helvedesmaskine warm-up fredag d. 25/7, hvor der er
åbnings-galla på Under Vand hvor det hele foregår. Hvis du er
interesseret i at deltage
da, må du også gerne melde det ud.

Se evt undervand.org

Med venlig hilsen
Værkførerne
Nielsen & Kirstein

*THE INFERNAL MACHINE*
/HELVEDESMASKINEN

August 22. 23. at Under Vand (http://www.undervand.org/)

/A collective lo-fi multispeaker sound-installation /

/run and edited by Tobias Kirstein and Sune T. B. Nielsen/

THE CONCEPT
THE INFERNAL MACHINE is placed in a yet unseen field between different
performance strategies: DJ-live mix, sound installation and multispeaker
concert.
THE INFERNAL MACHINE is a collective installation in two senses of the
word: Firstly we collect old loudspeakers and amplifiers that people
were going to dump anyway. Secondly a wide range of different sound
artists/musicians/composers, both Danish and international, are invited
to contribute with sounds and the contributors are invited to do a live
mix on the installation, while machine is running.
Most machines are built out of various mechanical parts, where most
parts are made in different places and by different people. Sonically
THE INFERNAL MACHINE is built from sounds (each of them replaceable at
any time) that are made by different people. Each time THE INFERNAL
MACHINE is run, a number of CD’s/or computer players are played at the
same time and played on repeat. This way there is no
definite ending and especially no definite sound.

THE SETUP
The setup consists of a large (and growing) number of thrown-away
consumer loudspeakers and amplifiers - all of them found in the garbage
or given to us.
Each old amplifier is connected to as many speakers as possible. Each
amplifier/speaker-setup functions as one self-powered loudspeaker – most
of them sounding quite characteristic.
This time we hope to build a multispeaker setup with 20-30 channels (all
mono).

Please send us sounds on CDR (audio or data) or upload, and you will be
part of the big collective soundinstallation – The Infernal Machine.

Please note that there will be a warm-up friday 25/7 at the opening of
the exhibition at Under Vand, where it's all happening. If you want to
participate there, please tell us quickly.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPAINTING, BY SENDING SOUND OR/AND
MIXING, PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR DETAILS.

Best regards
The enginemen
Kirstein & Nielsen

IMPROVISATION LIBRE


  Stéphane GRISELIN, Gilles VIGNES et Jean-Michel GOSSELIN organisent
des rencontres d’improvisation libre les 15, 16 et 17 Août à Marciac
dans le Gers, en parallèle au festival international de jazz.


 Qu'est-ce qui a changé par rapport au numéro un de l'an dernier ?
Gilles sera complètement dévoué à l'organisation des passages des
artistes sur le site afin d'éviter une trop grande cacophonie
indésirable.
Stéphane "tarentule" Roulet s'occupera quant à lui des passages en
ville prévus au café Le Nain Bleu, devant les deux entrées de l'église
de Marciac et devant son office du tourisme.
Les spectacles au café Le Nain Bleu se feront devant une exposition de
l'artiste peintre Bruno Loire :
www.lesamantsdumarche-resto-bio.com/loire


  J.I.M.PROVISE se veut pour but premier de créer des rencontres en
invitant des artistes du rock, du jazz contemporain et de
l’improvisation libre. Ces rencontres veulent aider à diffuser les
diverses tendances, établir des échanges, amener des réflexions, et
étoffer le tissus vivant de la région.

  Sur le site artisanal d’une vieille scierie, à 4 km du centre du
village de Marciac, ces amis tiennent à vous accueillir, vous héb
erger,
vous faire manger et improviser pendant 3 jours, dans une ambiance la
plus conviviale possible.

Ce festival est ouvert à toutes et à tous, improvisateurs de la musique
et de la danse, de la performance, de l’installation, amateurs et
spectateurs.

Une participation libre est demandée aux spectateurs afin d'aider au
défraiement des artistes invités.

_*Pratique*__* : *_

Les concerts ont lieu en plein air, ou dans une salle couverte et
abritée en cas de mauvais temps.

Les artistes sont logés dans un lieu abrité et fermé mais il leur est
demandé de prévoir un couchage et un matelas (pneumatique ou mousse).
Possibilité de poser une tente sous un très grand abris couvert et
fermé (mais toujours prévoir un matelas).

Des personnes les accompagnant peuvent être hébergées dans la limite de
la place disponible gratuitement, mais une participation de 2 € par
repas leur est demandée (petit déj’ offert) et dans les 2 cas, me
prévenir à l’avance.

Des places à l'ombre pour les camions et camping-car sont disponibles
avec un accés à l'eau potable permanent.

Pour diverses raisons le covoiturage est conseillé, me contacter pour
vous mettre en relation.

Un plan détaillé du lieu à Marciac vous sera fourni.
