Scott Scarboro - "Electro-fried Kinfolk"
15 September - 13 October 2007

Based out of Kentuckiana, Scarboro has one hand sunk in a Southern form of craft, the other hand made from an MFA in performance from San Francisco and another hand devoted to a kind of combining that we tend to see from German and Japanese and American improv musicians and visual art wizards, people like Keiji Haino and Franz West and more close to home in a way, David Hammons, three very well known examples of artists who, in our mind, walk through the world casting spells. We were honored to host an opening evening performance by Scott Scarboro which featured a build up of electronic sound generated by home-made, home prepared and other jeetered electronic means. Once a sound field was cultivated, Scarboro improvised with jaw-harp, canjoe and light sensitive sensors affected by fingertip "lasers" and vocal story telling.
