SIX is an experimental electronic, surround sound performance series presented by the BFA in Video and Sound program. This iteration of SIX will feature renowned international sound artist Robert Henke along with several other performers. In lieu of traditional listening orientation, the music and sound is produced in an open, multi-directional format. This allows the performer, sound, environment, and audience to form an exploratory relationship. The audience is encouraged to walk around, lay down (bring a pillow or blanket if you like), and experience the sound from different angles.

Featured Performers
Robert Henke
Marcus Fischer
Strategy + Jetfinger
Solenoid
Dweomer
Mike Jedlicka + wndfrm

Robert Henke is a visiting artist from Europe, and is presenting a lecture on September 24 titled "Sound, Structures and Machines."

The BFA in Video and Sound at PNCA promotes an expansive investigation of video and sound as disciplines both distinct and allied. Cultivating a practice-based media literacy, this program supports the acquisition of critical, aesthetic and technical skills, which are vital to cultural production in today’s media environment.

Please join PNCA for the fifth edition of SIX, an experimental, surround sound performance series.

DWEOMER (Jef Drawbaugh ) is an urban druid of sound. His new work is in sound design and composition for media, leaning heavily on cinematic themes. His live music and recorded soundscapes blossom with connections and juxtapositions between the technical world of electronic instruments and songcraft, rife with the fluid and nebulous areas of the cosmos and emotional response. He discovers patterns and shapes amidst chaotic spaces and lets stories unfold through cosmic voyages.
