BIOS FOR DRUNKEN BOAT PERFORMERS FOR REAL ART WAYS LAUNCH<br>
<br>
<br>
Edmond Chibeau is a performance writer who teaches "Scriptwriting"
and "History of Communication" at Eastern Connecticut State
University. Chibeau believes we are Microchip Aboriginals, living in the
Ur Civilization of the Digital Age. The quantum space between the zeros and
ones of the binary number system allows for a digital ekphrasis of the scirbal
analogue of phonetic space. In other words; the phonetic alphabet texts
us. His play, The Norwich Nine, about civil war soldiers buried in
Norwich, Connecticut, was performed at Eastern Connecticut State University on
April 19th. He will be giving the keynote address for IMPAC-Connecticut
State Wide Ceremony of the Dublin Literary Award on April 28th.
Chibeau’s work has been performed at Lincoln Center, The Knitting
Factory, NoSeNO, The Ear Inn, and elsewhere. He has worked with John
Cage, Alison Knowles, Kenneth Rexroth, Allen Ginsberg, & Charles Bernstein,
among others. <br>

Composer Anthony Cornicello writes music that blurs distinctions between
performers and electronics, timbre and harmony, composition and improvisation,
and explores the boundaries of what may be considered post-classical concert
music. He has been commissioned to write music for the Scorchio Electric
String Quartet, ModernWorks!, the Auros Group for New Music, the Prism
Saxophone Quartet, the New York New Music Ensemble, David Holzman, the Group
for Contemporary Music, and the InterEnsemble of Padova, Italy. His work
has also been featured on the Guggenheim Museum’s “Works and Process” series.
Cornicello’s works have also been performed by the Chicago Civic Symphony,
Parnassus, ALEA III, Composers Concordance, Madeleine Shapiro, Robert Black,
among others. Cornicello has begun performing on the laptop, using a
variety of interfaces and the Max/MSP program. Those performances, mostly
with EEE!, have had a notable impact on his music, as EEE!’s music ranges from
hip-hop to experimental noise. EEE! is based at Eastern Connecticut State University,
where Cornicello is an Associate Professor and Director of the Electronic Music
Lab.<br>
