Dirwyn (Bremen, 2002)
On this day (April 25) in 2002, in Bremen Germany, GX Jupitter-Larsen did an 18 minute variation of the “Dirwyn” performance with his noise belt (the U.T.B.) used for additional sounds. The roar-like buzz led to some long hard throbbing. Hear a short excerpt of the noise HERE !
Dirwyn (Paris, 2002)
On April 21 2002 in Paris, GX Jupitter-Larsen pushed an amplified calculator into a small electric fan. Hear a short excerpt of the noise HERE !
Manon Anne Gillis also performed that evening. Here’s two short video clips GX shot of her:
The Grinding Gig (San Francisco, 1998)
On April 18 1998 in San Francisco, The Haters did The Ginding Gig at the Purple Onion. It was the very stage that Phyllis Diller and Tiny Tim made famous back in the 1960s. Two performers each had an electric drill mounted with a grinding wheel. They both pushed the spinning grinders into a live microphone being held up by a third performer. The mic was slowly worn down to a stub.

On April 12 1986, the original ATA space, on 7th Street in San Francisco’s South of Market area, was dressed up as your typical living room. Four members of The Haters took turns damaging phonograph records and then playing them on your typical home stereo set. After having been played for a bit, each record would then be hurled into the audience. After awhile, people started throwing the records back at the performers. The flying vinyl lasted 25 minutes.

Calibration Dice (2012)
Is that a mingwave on the tip of your tongue? Can’t remember if it’s a romawave or not? Should you take the polywave or the xylowave? Maybe a roll of the Calibration Dice is all the analysis you need?
Not of The Totimorphous (2011)
Not of The Totimorphous (2011) by GX Jupitter-Larsen
Mingwave…
The mingwave is that nearly indiscernible pause between an idea and the language used to express that idea. The spark of an idea, and the words that would carry that idea forth do not spring out simultaneously. There is a lag, even if that idea never leaves the brain….
