Please join us on Wednesday, April 28, 2004 from 8-10pm at Slought Foundation for an evening of original music with live-mixed video by Dziga Vertov Performance Group (DVPG) with Scott Fields (guitar, composer), Ryan Smith, (laptop computer, composer) and Douglas Rosenberg (video). DVPG takes its name from the Russian filmmaker of the early 1900's. This work combines electronic and processed original compositions of Fields and Smith with Rosenberg's video imagery.
Scott Fields (guitar, composer) began his career as an active member of the 1960s Chicago free-jazz scene. He has recorded with Joseph Jarman, Marilyn Crispell, Rob Mazurek and Hamid Drake, among others. His recent Delmark CD "Mamet" featuring Michael Formanek received a four-star review in DownBeat and was selected as "the best album of 2002" by Jazziz magazine.
Ryan Smith (laptop computer, composer) is best known for his contributions as a live electronicist for groups such as AdaPT and the Madison Contact Improv Group. He regularly performs with fellow electronicist Jeff Snyder, with whom he co-composed remixes for hip-hop pioneers Public Enemy.
