Journeys into a Landscape of Transcendent Images and Sound March 11, 2006

An evening of improvised sound journeys into powerful video landscapes as imagined by David Finkelstein and Steve Sandberg. With roots in the tradition of North Indian raga singing, shamanistic traditions, modern dance, Bjork, the Radical Faeries, and whatever else spirit wants to bring to the party.

Emmy-nominated composer STEVE SANDBERG currently scores "Dora the Explorer" and "Go Diego Go" for Nickelodeon/CBS. He has toured with David Byrne, Ruben Blades, and Bebel Gilberto.

His current solo concerts, "Chants, Songs and Musical Landscapes," highly influenced by his studies of North Indian raga singing in the Sufi lineage of Ustad Mashkoor Ali Khan, are improvised shamanistic sound journeys that have been described as "music from a country i've always wanted to go to but never found". He has presented them at the Knitting Factory, the Guggenheim Museum and Locus Media.

DAVID FINKELSTEIN's video work has been featured in numerous film festivals, winning awards at the Berkeley Video and Film Festival, the Park City Film Music Festival, the Brooklyn Arts Council Film Festival, and the Putnam County Film and Video Festival. He has been commissioned three times to create videos for the Outmusic Awards, and these videos were subsequently shown on the PrideVision cable network and the PBS series "Under the Pink Carpet." His work has been funded by The Fund for Creative Communities, The Field, Movement
Research, Meet the Composer, The Brooklyn Arts Exchange, BACA, and other sources..
