“Music for Airports” featuring How Things Are

March 27 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

PIT Art in the Airport View Organizer Website

Airside Center Core Stage

1000 Airport Blvd
Pittsburgh, PA 15231

How Things Are (Brian Riordan and David Bernabo)

In 2021 the PIT Art in the Airport program featured Herman “Soy Sos” Pearl performing an ambient set in celebration of Brian Eno’s seminal work “Music for Airports”. In March 2025, travelers and staff at PIT will again experience ambient music by Pittsburgh based musicians/creators inspired by Brian Eno’s work, “Music for Airports”, from March 17th – March 30th.  2025 Performances are curated by David Bernabo and R.J. Kozain/2020k.

David Bernabo - “The airport is a slow teleportation device that allows a person to wake up in one place and dine in another, thousands of miles away. This rush of possibility arouses different emotions: ebullience and ecstasy, stress and annoyance, pensiveness and acceptance. For musician Brian Eno, airports and the act of flying struck a nerve and triggered his mortality salience. To counteract these feelings, in 1978, he released the album Ambient 1: Music for Airports as a way to bring solace to flyers. The slow-moving, loop-based music intended "to induce calm and a space to think." In fact, it may mesmerize. Eno coined the term "ambient" to describe the music and, perhaps, also set it apart from the hollow cheerfulness of muzak and easy listening. Ambient music does not insist on an emotional change. It doesn't insist on anything. Eno wrote, "it must be as ignorable as it is interesting."

At the time, other musicians—Laurie Spiegel, Éliane Radigue, Isao Tomita, and King Tubby—were exploring similar looping techniques and shapes of music, but Music for Airports was a line in the sand. It marked the dawn of a new genre, and its legacy is felt in Pittsburgh today. The music of Last Days of Living, trē seguritan abalos, and How Things Are is informed by the history of ambient music, but also by a wealth of musical genres, sounds, and individual experiences. This synthesis of influence, experience, and idea is what makes each of these musical entities a vital part of Pittsburgh's contemporary music scene. For this series, each artist will find ways to bring solace, space, and openness to one specific airport, Pittsburgh International Airport.”

Blues Machine & PSP Friends Solidarity Show for Darren Moore Recovery Fund

March 26th, 7pm at Stage MK - 515 N. Mathilda St.

This is a recital for eli namay’s graduate studies at Pitt: “I am hoping to bring together several strains of the ideas and community work I've been doing. I am using this opportunity to contribute to solidarity fundraising efforts for Taker (F.K.A. Darren Moore), a musical comrade who frequents series and sessions I and others from Pittsburgh Sound Preserve and elsewhere. Taker was in a car crash, and is currently recovering from serious injuries. We are raising funds to help offset his medical debt.”

eli namay* - upright bass
Mark Micchelli - piano & preparations
Hugo Cruz - drums & percussion
*(lowercase spelling intentional)

DARREN MOORE SOLIDARITY:
Darren Moore is our friend and musical comrade, a regular at the PSP Open Improvisation Lab jam session. They also play on many of the series we curate around town, as well as on other excellent creative music shows. They are also a fellow bass player, with an interest in electronic music. Darren is recovering from a very serious car accident that happened in January. Another regular at Open Improv Lab, our friend Aaron (IG: @hellcat_sneer ) is raising funds for Darren’s medical expenses. So, I wanted to take this opportunity to show appreciation for our comrade by using this show/recital that was on the books to bump the go fund me for Darren. ***This will be ahead of, and in addition to a larger fund raiser organized in the coming weeks.***

BLUES MACHINE:
Blues Machine is a trio made up of myself, and my dear friends Hugo Cruz and Mark Micchelli. It has been so excellent to creatively, critically, and most importantly playfully explore the socio-musical moment we are apart of, shaped by Black Atlantic music traditions in complex and often contradictory dialectical relation to global capitalism, a behemoth mass culture industry, and the arts non-profit industrial complex.
The show will feature original compositions and arrangements from eli namay for Blues Machine, as well as for the trio expanded to include Pittsburgh Sound Preserve friends Tre Abalos, Mai Khoi, Jay Rauch, as well as participation from everyone in attendance.

Agape Trio is an improvised music unit composed of master baritone saxophonist Alex Harding, noted bassist/multi-instrumentalist Joel Peterson and rising-star percussionist David Hurley. Formed in 2020, Agape Trio made its debut playing in the roll-up, loading bay door in the kitchen of Detroit art space Trinosophes, to an audience seated on the brick back alley.

Their combination of effusive warmth, intense energy, blues and folk-form allusions and abstract polyphony carves a distinct space among contemporary improvising groups and has earned them an enthusiastic regional following. Having played many institutions of and festivals like Ann Arbor’s Edge Fest, Agape Trio makes its first foray into the wider world with a tour in March of 2025.

Harding has performed with The Sun Ra Arkestra, The Mingus Big Band, David Murray, Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, Afro Horn, Donald Byrd, Muhal Richard Abrams, Hamiet Bluiett’s Baritone Band and with many other major figures of the music. He leads the groups Zulu and The Alex Harding Organ Tio and has a duo with Romanian pianist Lucian Ban. Harding’s discography is extensive and includes a 2002 CIMP release as a leader with Jay Rosen and Dominic Duval.

Multi-instrumentalist/double-bassist Peterson performs in numerous musical idioms. In improvised music, he has recorded with William Hooker, Faruq Z. Bey, Thollem, Eugene Chadbourne, Tatsuya Nakatani, Kenneth Green, Oluyemi and Kenn Thomas and Skeeter Shelton. He has also performed with Elliott Sharp, Han Bennink, Dushun Mosley, Salim Washington, Michal Carey, Michael Ray, Gino Robair, Amy Denio, Damo Suzuki, Dennis Palmer and many others. He operates the venue Trinosophes in Detroit.

Newer to improvised music, Hurley has worked with many Detroit improvising and experimental musicians and has become an in-demand drummer for providing support to touring artists like Jack Wright, Elliot Levine and Oluyemi Thomas. The extensive variety of percussion instruments and techniques he uses makes him extremely versatile in widely varying musical situations.

Last Days of Living (Phillip Andrew Lewis and Simon Keep)
Last Days of Living (LDoL) is the project of trans-Atlantic duo Simon Keep from Suffolk, UK and Phillip Andrew Lewis from Pittsburgh, US. Working with sonic imagery and cinematic textures created by using treated guitars, pianos, synthesizers, electronics, tape loops, and field recordings, the two build ambient cinematic compositions. Their first album was released in Fall 2024 and their follow-up record is coming out in 2025 on the German imprint Midira Records. Their music appeared in the documentary film, X Trillion. They have performed exclusively in the UK at Colchester Arts Centre, The Minories, and at Woodbridge Ambient Music Festival. The Pittsburgh International Airport will be the US debut.

Stan Brakhage's early 1970s study of Pittsburgh institutions, presented on 16mm

By Pittsburgh Sound + Image

Saturday, March 22 · 7 - 9pm EDT

Melwood Screening Room 477 Melwood Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15213

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/brakhages-pittsburgh-trilogy-on-16mm-tickets-1265571340949?aff=oddtdtcreator

In 1970, Sally Dixon, curator of the recently established Film Section at the Carnegie Museum of Art, invited experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage to Pittsburgh to screen his films and also to create new work during his time in the city. The results are quite unlike anyhting else in Brakhage's filmography. With three films released in 1971, Eyes, Deus Ex, and The Act of Seeing With One's Own Eyes, Brakhage's gaze took a harrowing, fly-on-the-wall look at three Pittsburgh public institutions: the police, a hospital, and a morgue, respectively.

Join us as we present these landmark works of Pittsburgh film history on their original 16mm format. Also included will be Window Water Baby Moving, with a live score by Trē Seguritan Abalos.

This event is co-presented by Pittsburgh Sound + Image, CMU's College of Fine Arts and Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, and University of Pittsburgh Horror Studies Working Group.

At the legendary Melwood Screening Room, 477 Melwood Ave.

Tickets $12 for the general public. FREE for PSI members!

Airside Center Core Stage

1000 Airport Blvd
Pittsburgh, PA 15231

2020k
2020k is a Queer Pop and Experimental Electronic project solely headed by artist RJ Kozain, who was raised and currently resides in the Pittsburgh, PA area. 2016’s “Burst Mode” is the debut album from 2020k and was almost exclusively written, produced, engineered, and released (via a self-started independent label imprint, 2020k LLC) by Kozain himself and was re-released in a digital deluxe format on Bandcamp in December 2019. The record addresses various subjects with its music and visual presentations on how humanity interacts with technology in the 21st century, as well as explores themes of anxiety, love, politics, queer art, and sexuality. "Burst Mode (Digital Deluxe)" comes after a long recovery with post-concussion syndrome that came on a week before the original release of the record and lasted a year and a half.

In 2021 the PIT Art in the Airport program featured Herman “Soy Sos” Pearl performing an ambient set in celebration of Brian Eno’s seminal work “Music for Airports”. In March 2025, travelers and staff at PIT will again experience ambient music by Pittsburgh based musicians/creators inspired by Brian Eno’s work, “Music for Airports”, from March 17th – March 30th. 2025 Performances are curated by David Bernabo and R.J. Kozain/2020k.

R.J. Kozain/2020k - "The sonic exploration contained in Brian Eno’ is one of the most unique pieces of sound design in that it encapsulates every space it’s played in. As a seminal piece of music, it remains timeless and relevant and was a gateway for me into adjacent ambient heroes like Aphex Twin and Hiroshi Yoshimura.

2020k, in theory, is about taking up auditory space from 20Hz all the way to 20kHz — even at its gentlest, my music demands attention. If you listen close enough, amongst that attention contains layers of stillness that act like glue to my music — a stillness I learned and am still learning from Music For Airports and my time playing at Pittsburgh International Airport.

The two acts I’ve co-curated to play this celebratory week alongside me create in the same sort of curious spirit and are voices in the Pittsburgh area that urgently need to have their creativity heard."
