December 3   Sunday

Eyedrum Archive Sunday Special
Radio program
7:00pm – 9:00pm
WREK 91.1 FM
On the first Sunday of every month, at 7 p.m., Eyedrum does a show on WREK (91.1 FM / www.wrek.org) that features nuggets from Eyedrum's archive of live performances.
After the show airs "live", you can listen to it via WREK's 7-day archive if you forget to tune in (direct links to Sunday Special streams: lo-fi or hi-fi). But wait, there's more! We now have a podcast available, for those of you who have discovered podcasting. You can also just download the whole show (right click on "download") although be forewarned that the file is over 50 MB in size. This show will be available for download mid next week. 


In The Galleries:

Small Gallery:

“The Sound of Musing”
A multi-artist sound-art installation installation curated by Alyson Laura + Natacha Roussel, featuring the work of Jon Aveyard (Preston, UK), Josh Golman (Reston, VA), Konstantinos Karathanasis (Norman, OK), Jan de Weille (Montpelier, France), and Charlotte White (Brighton, UK).
Visitors are invited to sit and listen to the work on headphones. Available at each comfy chair/listening station is a notebook where they can write their thoughts, create a narrative to the work, doodle, or simply write words of encouragement to the artists. 

Through December 31st.



Miscellany

October’s Podcast
We devoted lots of time to a revisiting of the Atlanta underground/ indie scene of the early/mid 1980s, with previously unreleased recordings by 86, Pillowtexans, Vietnam and Amalgamated Cliff Divers; there's a show at Eyedrum on Oct. 7th that has lots of people from these bands performing for the first time in many years. After the retro fix, we played a few songs by Tunnels, Acid Mothers Temple and Hubcap City, all recorded live at Eyedrum in the past month. We closed with Tuna Helpers (performing Oct. 11th) and a short piece by avant garde luminary Jack Smith. If you don’t know what all the podcast fuss is about, a podcast is simply an audio file that you can listen to on your computer or portable mp3 player. For those of you who are familiar with podcasting, please click on podcast. (http://www.eyedrum.org/radioshow.xml ) You can also just download the whole show (right click on "download") although be forewarned that the file is over 50 MB in size. If you’re having trouble, respond to this email… we can help! 

September’s Podcast

It features lots of Table of the Elements stuff! Tony Conrad, Rhys Chatham, Ruins, all in anticipation / remembrance of the festival happening this weekend at Eyedrum. Also featured were Hubcap City, A.C.M.E., Arthur Doyle, Go! and Tunnels, all recorded at previous Eyedrum engagements and returning to town in September. Check it out!
August’s podcast: August’s show is now available and features performances by Jonathan Kane, Rising Appalachia, Bent Frequency, Daniel Clay, Tiptons Saxophone Quartet and others. The upcoming 5-day Table Of The Elements festival (Labor Day weekend) gave us a chance to play some Rhys Chatham, Tony Conrad and Sun Agustin. Finally, the Eyedrum visual arts crew came in to talk about art shows past, present and future, the Warhol grant, and the state of Eyedrum as a gallery in general. A special edition of this podcast that should not be missed!
