After making three events for them since 2001, the people of Remo Osaka invited
me to come to Osaka and make a new video of the Movement of People Working, a

I am doing it."

installation on the 5th, 6th, and 7th days. Plus there was a concert on the 5th
day, with those videos and older film / video from 1988. They constructed a new,
pure white, flat screen / wall, for the occasion.
Six old films (1966-1969) by Phill Niblock were recently published by Die Schachtel
of Milan Italy. CAS and Remo and Art Yard of Osaka Japan, have offered to host

Concert in Bohemian National Hall, NYC, by Martin Janácek and

The concert will take place in Club of the Bohemian National
Hall, 321 East 73 street New York, U.S.A. on 4th March
2010, 7.30 pm.
These two artists met thanks to Milos Vojtechovsky, who organised
nearly a decade of Hermit symposia in Plasy, Czech Republic, since 1992. Martin
Janácek played together with Michael Northam and Michael Delia at Experimental
Intermedia studio, New York, organised by Phill Niblock in 2002.
The process of Martin Janácek - he is using self made sound objects (presented
recently at Guthman International New Music Instrument Competition in Atlanta
). Together with effects, looping and field recordings, which he finds fascinating
and he keeps recording them for years. He creates an intersection among inner
imaginative space and outer world of sounds, surrounding and inspiring all of

CARLOS CASAS / PHILL NIBLOCK : AVALANCHE
Nelly Boyd Ensemble, Hamburg
Curated by Xavier Garcia-Bardon
Spanish director Carlos Casas is known for bringing an experimental approach to
documentary, always developing different forms of work for every project: long
features and short essays, installations or live performances.
Since the end of the 1960s, Phill Niblock's music focuses on sound textures created
by multiple tones in very dense, often atonal tunings performed in long durations.
The overtones and the reverberation of sound into space are essential in his work.
Niblock is also a filmmaker, whose series The Movement of People Working has had
a particular influence on Casas.
Barcelona visual artist Carlos Casas and American sound artist and minimalist
legend Phill Niblock, present a joint project based on images taken in Hichigh,
one of the world's highest inhabitated villages in the Pamir mountains (Tajikistan),
an area known as the roof of the world. An audiovisual meditation on disappearance,
Avalanche is a research on the relationship between film, music and landscape,
a physical as well as a mental experience, transporting the spectator into a state
of flotation. One of the most unknown mountain ranges, the Pamirs are as mysterious
as fascinating, home of amazing and well kept traditions. The film presents the
last days of a village bound to disappear, just before it becomes a ghost village,
just before its stones and mud houses become part of the mountain again.
Niblock's piece Stosspeng will be played live by the Nelly Boyd ENSEMBLE, a Hamburg-based
composers' collective and performing ensemble founded in 2004 with a strong taste
for the American classical avant-garde. Among others, they have presented works
by John Cage, Morton Feldman, Terry Riley, Karlheinz Stockhausen, James Tenney
and have played with Phill Niblock, Christian Wolff and Alvin Lucier.

Festival in NYC, drone pioneer Phill Niblock will pay a visit to the WFMU studios
to chat and guest DJ. While his own music is noted for its length and stillness
(he does a 6-hour concert at his loft every December), Niblock is a huge fan
of early jazz and bebop, and will be bringing some of his favorite high-speed
saxophone music to play on the air." KG

Tattooed Ghosts is part of FLUDD - Virtual Polar Icecap Meltdown, a larger work

work of the same name. Here, melting icecaps are conceived of as a flood of
waters releasing the Arctic's profound secrets. In the final three sections
of this work, presented here as Tattooed Ghosts, myth, poetry and song trace
the accumulation of ocean contaminants.
