Videographers night this Thursday, George Korein on September 4!

Here's a clip from a video that I will be showing this Thursday:



Artists-at-Large and The Music Workshop present:
George Korein (from Philadelphia)
at The Fraternal Order of Eagles
15 Dana Avenue
Hyde Park, MA 02136

George Korein was half of the industrial metal collage cut-up duo Infidel?/Castro! Now the mad hatter post prog/punk/everything musician delivers punishing digital metallic drones, deformed synthetic noise rock, creepy incandescent electronic sinewaves, from the smoking ruins of a destroyed hard drive.

A poem I read at last week's poetry night

To a Lady on the Death of three Relations.

WE trace the pow'r of Death from tomb to tomb,
And his are all the ages yet to come.
'Tis his to call the planets from on high,
To blacken Phoebus, and dissolve the sky;
His too, when all in his dark realms are hurl'd,
From its firm base to shake the solid world;
His fatal sceptre rules the spacious whole,
And trembling nature rocks from pole to pole.
Awful he moves, and wide his wings are spread:
Behold thy brother number'd with the dead!
From bondage freed, the exulting spirit flies
Beyond Olympus, and these starry skies.
Lost in our woe for thee, blest shade, we mourn
In vain; to earth thou never must return.
Thy sisters too, fair mourner, feel the dart
Of Death, and with fresh torture rend thine heart.
Weep not for them, and leave the world behind.
As a young plant by hurricanes up torn,
So near its parent lies the newly born--
But 'midst the bright ehtereal train behold
It shines superior on a throne of gold:
Then, mourner, cease; let hope thy tears restrain,
Smile on the tomb, and sooth the raging pain.
On yon blest regions fix thy longing view,
Mindless of sublunary scenes below;
Ascend the sacred mount, in thought arise,
And seek substantial and immortal joys;
Where hope receives, where faith to vision springs,
And raptur'd seraphs tune th' immortal strings
To strains extatic. Thou the chorus join,
And to thy father tune the praise divine.

by Phillis Wheatley

The Music Workshop is moving to Thursdays in August!

Hey everybody-
Next Monday's duo between Luther Gray and Forbes Graham will be the last concert or event held on Monday. Starting in August we are moving to Thursdays. Hope to see you then! We are also starting a new event called Musicians-at-Large, a sort of open rehearsal. If you are a band needing a cheap rehearsal space and don't mind a couple random strangers peeping in on the creative process, this is for you! Rehearsal space is certainly expensive so this might be a low cost alternative that works for you.

See you in August!

Call to Artists - "Today's Media" July 21 @ The Eagles

"Today's Media" - an interactive work with audience and performers, examines the way we experience and absorb the contemporary written word. We are seeking musicians, dancers, and visual artists to participate. Comment here or send an email to themusicworkshop@gmail.com if you are interested.

June events at The Music Workshop

This coming Monday is Noise Night! If you ever wanted an opportunity to crank it to eleven, Monday would be that time. We are also going to have a poetry open mic, and a couple of open sessions. Check out the upcoming events for more information. See you there!

May events at The Music Workshop

Come on by in May! We will be having a informal discussion group on contemporary improvisation on the 19th. We'll also be having multi-instrumentalist Jamal Moore, and guitarist Dennis Moser (aka usr/sbin) on the 5ht and the 12th respectively.

Look forward to seeing you!
