MANNING / NOVAK | Live @ Chapel Performance Space

Dragon's Eye is pleased to announce an exciting modification to our catalog. The de6000 series will no longer be a CD-R series; rather it will continue as a Free Mp3 Download series. This second installment documents the live performance by Marc Manning and Yann Novak at the Dragon's Eye Second Anniversary showcase at The Chapel Performance Space. This release will also act as a teaser for the forthcoming CD by Marc Manning and Yann Novak, Pairings.

2. COMING IN DECEMBER

MARC MANNING / YANN NOVAK | Pairings

Dragon's Eye Recordings is pleased to announce the release of Pairings, the first full length collaboration between Marc Manning (Heavy Lids) and Yann Novak. Pairings is an exploration into a now standard formula, a traditional instrument processed by laptop. Novak and Manning choose to use the formula to explore their often similar emotional states resulting in six improvisations divided into pairs by instrument. The album moves gently through melancholic drones and ambient washes, ending in a soft flurry of fractured melodies. Pairings showcases the tender relationships between songs, instruments and musicians.

3. SENSORIA OPENS AT SOIL

Thom Heileson and Wyndel Hunt, Free Dissociation(Video still),
Three channel video projection with stereo audio, Dimensions variable, 2007

Sensoria
Iole Alessandrini, Thom Heileson, Wyndel Hunt, Ed Mannery, Ben McAllister

Sensoria presents two new immersive installations, each integrating light and sound to transform the gallery space, concentrating on the visitor’s sensory perceptions within the specific physicality of a new environment. Each work will in its own way conflate and link different sensory experiences: vision, hearing, and feedback to physical movement.

The exhibition will feature the interactive installation Hidden Spaces, by artist/architect Iole Alessandrini, programmer/composer Ben McAllister and engineer Ed Mannery. In this work, lasers create planes that form flat spatial fields. Through the use of video tracking and computerized sound, the planes are ‘audio-visualized’: people explore, with their own movements, the spaces hidden within the planes of light by triggering sounds made as they intersect these planes.

Also featured is Free Dissociation—a new collaborative work by Thom Heileson and Wyndel Hunt—a three-channel, stereo audio projection installation enveloping the gallery visitor in a textural, audio-visual tapestry that pairs Heileson’s animated visual imagery with Hunt’s similarly abstract sound composition. The artists exploit perceived parallels in their work—which speak in corresponding emotive tones but in different sensory media—to build an immersive perceptual ground delineated by intrinsically linked strata of light and sound.

Hidden Spaces is supported in part by the Mayor’s Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs.

This presentation of Free Dissociation is made possible with technical support from Hawthorne Stereo.

COTTON | Dragon's Eye Second Anniversary

"For a label still so young, Dragon’s Eye have the sort of sharp production values, and keen eye for aesthetics that will take them much much further. With a roster this strong, and inventive, it will surely make them a label to watch for in the future. Fine stuff indeed."
– Barry G Nichols, White_Line (UK)

"Dragon's Eye has delivered a very substantial album indeed which features 8 superb tracks from label boss Yann Novak, Corey Fuller, Tadahito Ichinoseki, Jamie Drouin, Marc Manning, Kamran Sadeghi and Tomoyoshi Date. Ranging from ultra-fine microsound works through to beautifully melodic works of startlilng beauty via a minimalist, rhythmic approach which owes as much to the sound of Berlin as anything else."
– Mike Oliver, Smallfish (UK)

"A deep work of musical art...If this is the calibre of release we can expect from this label in the future, then I for one will be eagerly anticipating the next installment!
