Recently, Slocum released Sir Sampleton a wildly popular sampling keyboard, and Magic Carpet, a music visualizer and musical instrument for mobile phones and tablets. He was also a member Treewave, a two-person band that makes shoegazy pop music using obselete 70’s and 80’s computer and video game gear accompanied by female vocals. From 2006-2009 he ran And/Or, a gallery in Dallas with a focus on New Media. Paul Slocum is a Brooklyn based, artist, musician and programmer.

In keeping with this sensibility, Torontonian Lewis Kaye, a sound artist and media science researcher will use the software Plogue Bidule to process live audio from the event along with the other pre-existing samples including those from The Sound of Art. The application spins images of quilts at high speeds to create fractal like images. Paul Slocum, a Brooklyn based programmer, artist and musician, will DJ house tracks and the album in combination with “Magic Carpet”, an iphone app he built to be both a musical instrument and music visualizer. The first stop in a tour around North America, musicians, artists and creative folk of all types will be invited to remix this album to produce new sounds.
These sounds are just the start of a larger project that begins at Mercer Union. An iPod drum circle and thoughts on nostalgia. Field recordings of recordings by guitar genius John Fahey, and archival sound pieces by the pioneering conceptualist Lawrence Weiner. One hundred carpenters pounding 10,000 nails. Sounds of stampeding animals, Hebrew prayer, a transformer fire, a children’s carousel. Just what’s on this album? Work by artists well-known and not-so-well-known. Thursday 11 August, the musicians will remix Art Fag City’s limited edition LP, The Sound of Art, a record composed of sounds heard in New York galleries, museums and project spaces over the last five years. Find out what art sounds like in the hands of artists Paul Slocum and Lewis Kaye.
