Ken Vandermark

Ken Vandermark, a MacArthur Fellow (1999), is one of the best saxophone & clarinet players playing right now in any genre. As leader or a member, Vandermark has been part of many groups such as The Vandermark 5 (with Jeb Bishop, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Kent Kessler, Dave Rempis), Spaceways Inc. (with Hamid Drake, Nate McBride), Free Fall Trio (with Ingebrigt Håker Flaten & Håvard Wiik), Flying Luttenbachers (with Weasel Walter) and NRG Ensemble, playing in a wide range of genres, namely jazz, free improvisation, funk, rock n roll, noise, et al. A gifted arranger & improviser, Vandermark proves, like his frequent collaborator Nate Wooley on trumpet, that there is still much to be heard & gained from the saxophone & clarinet.

-"shìshí shì shíshì" is the sonic romanization of the Chinese sentence, "事實是實事", which loosely translates to, "Reality is a true fact". Using video, sound, and text-to-speech software, this project will explore how repetition can make words feel increasingly out-of-this-world -- especially a tonal language with a very different structural foundation than English.

-Playing with juxtaposition and repetition to deconstruct old American phrases and idioms from the 1800s, Hannah Jove will perform a live poetry reading over the video and sounds of shìshí shì shìshí. Side by side, Chinese and English will encourage viewers to contemplate what exactly defines a word and how world views are defined by linguistic know-how.
