Saturday April 17th, 8pm
discordiafilms will be hosting a benefit show to help fund relief efforts in Chile in the aftermath of the February 27th earthquake. Donations will help artists we have collaborated with in the past, specifically Chimba Lab in Santiago, whose space was badly damaged. Since VideoNorte has never been shown in the northern hemisphere, we have decided to show the complete program that night. Please join us in solidarity with people in Chile and help us get the word out, and come out to see this fantastic line up of experimental shorts that is now touring the south (Argentina and Chile).
Participating Artists include
Mallary Abel, Shane Butler, Lana Z Caplan, Steven Cossman, Jo Dery, encontracosas, Peter Glantz, Asma Kazmi, Ethan Kiermaier, Jamie Mohr, Rachael Morrison, Marcus Owens, Julia Pello & Marcus Owens, Barbara Rosenthal, Fern Silva, Jessie Stead, Katherine Toukhy & Rashin Fahandej, Lisa van Wambeck & Thomas Little.

Non-Event and Spectacle present
the return of
GOODIEPAL
with Insect Factory
Spectacle
17 Edinboro Street #3
Boston (Chinatown)
9 p.m. / $10
BYOB
GOODIEPAL returns for his first Boston-area show since his amazing performance at the 2006 Brainwaves festival! Goodiepal is Parl Kristian Bjorn Vester, a Danish/Faroese musician and composer. The eccentric Goodiepal performs and lectures about his work and ideas at universities and galleries around the world — he is in town to lecture at Harvard. Until recently, he was employed as a teacher at DIEM (Danish Institute for Electro-acoustic Music) at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, Denmark. Goodiepal declared intellectual war against the stupidity in modern computer music and media art, which is to say against The Royal Academy of Music, when he quit the job in 2008. He currently lives in London.
INSECT FACTORY is the music of Silver Spring, MD guitarist Jeff Barsky. His playing creates thick waves of textured sound, building hypnotic and atmospheric drone fields. His first proper CD, Air Traffic Control Sleep, was released on his own Insect Fields label in the summer of 2007, to acclaim from the likes of Washington Post, The Wire and Terrascope.

Steve Gunn’s prodigous talent for fusing traditional american song structures with a raga influence is almost criminally unheralded. Gunn’s songcraft is so strong and his playing style so effortlessly beautiful that folks should be shouting his name from every tall building and mountaintop. Without any doubt… [His latest album] Boerum Palace is a staggering accomplishment and is certainly Gunn’s most assured and confident work to date.
Native Philadelphian Gunn has been a stalwart of the american experimental scene for closing in on a decade. He is known by many for his contributions as one half of the core duo behind GHQ (with Marcia Bassett) as well as for his many other affiliations with underground luminaries such as Tom Carter, the Magik Markers and Marc Orleans. Gunn has slowly cultivated his own solo work alongside his other obligations and involvements. after a few early CDR and cassette releases under the moniker “moongang,” Gunn gravitated towards performing and releasing music in his own name, culminating in the exceptional Sundowner (Digitalis Industries, 2008). Sundowner was, to that point, the most potent burst of Gunn’s songwriting abilities and remarkable playing abilities.
John and Steve have played together over a span of years in various formations and projects. This duo strips it all down and pays homage to some of the masters from generations before. Steve’s improvisational mix of blues-raga guitar and John’s fluid style drumming melds together, rolling out the door towards the stratosphere.
