==========================================================
ARCANUM
is a multi-media art ensemble founded in 2005 by composer/performers
Ori Barel and Alan Lechusza. Incorporating videographer Gil Omry-Barel
and cellist Carolyn Lechusza Aquallo the founding art quartet of
ARCANUM became realized. Building upon the multiplicity of histories
engaged, ARCANUM has been able to navigate and guide their collective
way through active engagement of works which range from improvised to
through composed works. Artistic Statement: ARCANUM is devoted to
producing multi-media art works which blur the constructed lines of
artistic demarcation solidified in a post-modern society.
==========================================================
(the)
g.o.g....a violent rejection of certain traditions has become an
integral element of our music. therefore, in a referential sense, we
are necessarily aware of these former practices. modern society has
made this rejection central. without it, our music, improvisational
music, would be impossible.
though we have become consumed by
the past and engulfed by the future, our influences stem perpetually
from the present. unlike sex, which is a biological concept, gender is
a social construct specifying the socially and culturally prescribed
roles that men and women are to follow. we have trumped these
preconceptions of heteronormalcy.
