Sidewalk Tzara presents Courtney Brown and Altaira on Dec. 4, 2008

I am curating a new performance series in Boston, Sidewalk Tzara, with a focus on electronics, experimental music, and the absurd. December 4th is the EXCITING inagural show at its new home at The Outpost 186!

Boston Globe's Top 5 Picks Courtney Brown and Carmen Caruso

"Both are members of Electrolab, a subversive soprano/accordion/DJ collective, and odds are good this performance will include moaning, shrieking, computers, postmodern cabaret, fringe theories of performance, and tango." -- Joan Anderman of The Boston Globe

Bio

Courtney Brown has long harbored aspirations of becoming an Edward Gorey heroine, but her attempts have thus far been foiled. In lieu of her unlikely but tragic demise, she makes strange dark music and fiddles with electronics. Her solo act, Every Night I Lose Control, explores the danger of performance and ultimately exposes the vulnerabilities of its performer. Her works are heavily influenced by tango, Weimar cabaret, flamenco, and early goth rock, and often cross into performance art.

She has performed her solo cabaret act up and down the east coast, including New York, Boston, Providence, Baltimore, and Washington, DC. Her compositions have been featured in the Chosen Vale Trumpet Seminar, the Festival of New Musics, the Boston CyberArts Festival, SEAMUS, and more. In 2008, her work "Places in Time become Magnetic" was selected for inclusion in the Vox Novus 60x60 project. She is the curator of the series, "Sidewalk Tzara" at The Outpost in Boston that features eccentric electronic acts. She currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.
