The Eulipia/Knot Frum Hear Performance/Salon seeks to explore
alternative spaces within the diasporic spectrum through performance,
sound, and sight. With a focus on lo-tech, neo-primitive/paleo-sophisticate, and invention
outside the realms of conventional and mainstream expression, Eulipia
becomes a destination for avant garde artists who revel in the collision
of past, present and future, steel and wood, circuitry and artery, howl
and song.
Featuring:
Kitundu is a, sound/visual artist, graphic designer, composer and
instrument builder. He uses an interdisciplinary approach to develop
compositions-installations-instruments that blur the boundaries between
media. He has constructed elementalturntables that rely on wood, water,
fire and earthquakes for their power and pitch. Kitundu is the creator of
a family of Phonoharps, beautifully crafted multi-stringed instruments
made from record players. He strives to reconnect the technology of new
music to fundamental principles drawn from the natural world.
Tan Khanh Cao
Gia Dinh province
40 miles inland
northwest of Saigon
birthplace of my father’s father
the red earth there is good
for growing pine trees and coffee plants
I am thankful for being permitted to exist
grateful for the responsibility of
having something to offer
Open to the journey and its crossings
and who and what I meet...and to be
someone met on those paths.
Willing to be care-full and present.
I paint.
