Organized by Touch label head Mike Harding, this evening features a rare performance bySimon Scott, a multi-instrumentalist, sound  ecologist and drummer (formerly ofSlowdive)  from Cambridge, UK.  Glasgow based sound artist  Bethan Parkes explores the inherent  dimensionality of sound through  multi-channel/ambisonic  compositions and installations.  Jen Boyd is a sound artist and  curator based in Northern  California who works with  field recordings of the natural  world, forgotten spaces,  and the environment. The evening  will also feature a DJ set by Mike Harding.  September 12 In celebration of their 15th Anniversary,  Australian music label Room40 will  present performances by Lawrence English,  John Chantler, Steve Roden, and film  projections by Paul Clipson.  Lawrence English, who founded the label,  is a composer, media artist and curator  based in Australia. He investigates the  politics of perception to create works  that ask audiences to become  aware of that which exists at the  edge of perception. UK based artist  John Chantleruses technology to  exploit the inner zones of audible  electricity, exploring texture  and dimension with a relentless  ferocity. Paul Clipson is a  filmmaker who often collaborates  with sound artists and musicians  on films, live performances, and  installations. His Super 8 and  16mm films aim to bring to light  subconscious visual preoccupations  that reveal themselves while  working in a stream of consciousness  manner, responding to and conversing  with the temporal qualities of musical  composition and live performance. Steve Roden is a visual and sound artist from Los Angeles. Roden’s  working process uses various forms of specific  notation and translates them through self  invented systems into scores,  which then influence the  process of painting, drawing, sculpture,  and composition. September 13 Resonant Forms will conclude  with a series of performances  organized in collaboration with  LACE Assistant Director Shoghig Halajian.  For the closing night of both the festival and  Esparza’s i have never  been here before, these artists  will explore notions of race,  identity and belonging in  response to the installation.  Rafa Esparza is a multidisciplinary  artist whose work ranges in medium from  installation, sculpture to  drawing, painting, and most  predominantly live performance.  Woven into his many bodies  of work are his interests in  history, personal narratives,  and kinship. Raquel Gutiérrez is  a film actor, curator, publisher,  playwright, arts administrator,  and community organizer.  She writes about art, culture,  music, film, performance and  community building and creates  original solo and ensemble  performance compositions.  Nikki Darling is  a third generation Angelino  on her father’s side and  Neomexicano on her mother’s.  She is a feminist, womanist,  transcendentalist, Unitarian Universalist.  She believes in Henry David  Thoreau, Elizabeth  Taylor, Gloria Anzaldua,  and Joseph Campbell. She believes  in people, and she believes in you. September 13 Workshop The beauty of field recording  is that it can happen anywhere.  This September, join Lawrence  English as he casts his ears  towards Hollywood Blvd. Hollywood Blvd.  is one of the iconic visual landmarks  of the city, and it also happens to  contain a diverse sound world.  Join us as we explore various  “sound locations” in the  neighborhood, collect  recordings, share techniques/methods  and discuss the ways in which field  recordings can be used in  sound art and music practices. Resonant Forms is made possible  by the generous support of  mediaThe foundation Inc. Additional support provided by  Heardrum.
