Music Factory
A 96 hour continuous performance

December 8-11

Eyebeam Art+Technology Center
540 West 21st Street
New York, NY 10011

Music Factory will be one of the largest collaborations between creative 
improvisers ever. Starting at midnight on the night of December 7th, an 
ensemble composed of more than 70 musicians will come together to fashion 
an unbroken collective statement over 96 hours. The company, assembled by 
five curators, will include performances by Andrew D.Angelo, Ben Gerstein, 
Miguel Frasconi, Denman Maroney, Andrea Parkins, Josh Roseman, and 
numerous others . a galaxy of self-realized musical voices. For the 
complete lineup and more, please visit www.newlanguages.org.

In a world transformed by the internet and the concomitant collapse of the 
record industry, live music is largely confined to the same sandbox as 
ever: 45 minute sets at small venues and festivals. Music Factory 
interrogates the mode of musical production, looking for conditions that 
might serve the promise of improvised music in the 21st century. First, it 
is an experiment in continuous musical production at a single site: can 
creative music sustain the sort of working environment familiar to other 
industrial sectors? It performs this experiment for the emerging global 
audience of the internet: the performance will be broadcast live at 
newlanguages.org, where people will be able to discover and read more 
about new musicians as they listen. Finally, it will become a prototype of 
what an album can be in an era in which recordings no longer qualify as 
commodities. The performance will be made available in a browseable online 
interface, where people will be able to explore passages for years to 
come, like an LP writ large.
