Member News: Ken Bales & Joe Drew to Present @ UNO's European Studies Conference

Ken Bales & Joe Drew will present two ARTSaha-related papers at the 33rd Annual European Studies Conference at the University of Nebraska at Omaha this October.

Ken's paper, "An Art of Noises: Italian Futurism and Its Influence on European Experimental Music after World War II", is inspired by ARTSaha's 2007 lineup.

Joe's paper, "The Artist Formerly Known as Stockhausen", reflects the content of this year's festival, and takes its title from the series of posts he's written on ANABlog about the composer's career

ANALOG arts ensemble is a network of artists and musicians that is rapidly making its mark on the contemporary music scene. With an universal sensibility, ANALOG programs have consistently edged classical music into new terrain, where concerts are organically shaped by an unpredictable array of artistic disciplines. A typical event might offer Stockhausen's music alongside Bjork's while the audience roams around the performance space, observing isolated musicians as objets d'art.

Formed in 2001 by two trumpet players who sought to continue their creative collaboration, though separated by some 400 miles, ANALOG gave its first performance in a one-room stone church deep in the Maryland countryside. That first concert bore many of the traits that were to become hallmarks of ANALOG events: new commissions, ingenious arrangements, juxtapositions of seemingly incompatible musics, and dramatic pacing.

In the summer of 2004, ANALOG presented its first music festival, ARTSaha! Specifically designed for Omaha audiences, ARTSaha! was recognized in 2005 by The Reader as one of the cultural highlights of Omaha. In 2006, ARTSaha! was presented in partnership with the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
