NEWLY ADDED!!! - Mannlicher Carcano
Mannlicher Carcano is an experimental improvisational audio collage group that has been together since 1988, releasing over a dozen self-produced cassettes and CDs, performing live, creating sound installations, and improvising live on various radio shows. Mannlicher Carcano’s roots lie in both post-punk DIY experimentalism and avant-garde new music. The group uses traditional and invented instruments (spring-strung bass, ventor, cast aluminum cello), thrift store electronic equipment, children’s toys, radios, live phone calls, tape loops, portable record players playing warped Montovani at the wrong speed, stuck religious tirades (or anything else released on vinyl), field recordings of environmental soundscapes, mormon trivia games, and contact miced appliances to create densely layered webs of sound.

Q&A WITH IAN MACKAYE
RIVERSIDE ART MUSEUM’S
MEMBERS GALLERY
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19TH, 2008
In partners with Saturation 2008, October, 14 - 19th
Doors at 7pm
Starts at 7:30pm
$5 Admission
Q&A with Ian MacKaye will be presented in RAM’s Members Gallery in partnership with the Saturation Art & Music Festival: a six-day DIY event in downtown Riverside dedicated to live music, visual art, performance, film and workshops.
MacKaye is best known as the front man of the influential hardcore punk and alternative rock bands Minor Threat, Embrace, Fugazi, and The Evens. He also co-founded and co-owns the Washington, D.C.-based independent record label, Dischord Records, now in its 28th year of operation. Ever challenging convention, MacKaye has continued to develop an ethic that holds to a staunchly independent, do it yourself (DIY) mindset, refusing to cater to or advertise in mainstream corporate media, and performing only in venues that welcome all-ages and keeping ticket prices under $10.
Using only an open, impromptu Q&A setting, MacKaye hopes to join the audience in a ‘public interview’ in which the topics, direction, and depth of the conversation will be driven by collaborative exchange. After all, art requires transmission as well as reception to ‘work’, so this might be considered a joint-painting or a co-sculpture or a group-poem. Mostly, we hope it will be an interesting experience and a pleasant way to spend an evening.
Saturation Festival encourages collaboration between artists, musicians, and the audience, through the bridging of performance and visual arts. This vision is shared by RAM’s mission to promote an appreciation of the arts by presenting quality exhibitions and community educational programs for the cultural enrichment of the region.
There will be no advanced ticket sales. $5 admission at the doors will start at 7pm. The event will start promptly at 7:30pm. This event is expected to sell out so arrive early for available seating.
