The opening of Sine Wave Network, a sound installation by Penobscot artist N.B.Aldrich on September 6 at 5:00 p.m. will be followed by a house concert, featuring New York musician If, Bwana, at 6:00 p.m.

Sine Wave Network is a multi-channel audio installation that integrates a neural network design and audio synthesis to create an autonomously generated soundscape. The soundscape produces a continual variation and interrelation of simple musical elements, providing a contemplative listening space of shifting tonal patterns. N.B.Aldrich is a new media artist, Adjunct Curator for Sound Art at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art and an Associate Professor at the University of Maine. His audio, video, performances and installations have been presented regionally, nationally and internationally at venues such as the Portland Museum of Art (Maine), Artists Space, the Banff Centre, and the National Museum of Singapore, among many others.

If, Bwana was born on New Year's Eve 1984, making music that has swung between fairly spontaneous studio constructions and more process-oriented composition."Let it be declared that Al Margolis/If, Bwana is some sort of evil genius working with raw materials which are never adapted to a genre or a context, because they create one in that very moment. Those sources are radically altered up to an utterly unrecognizable state, anarchic manifestations moving in compact determination" (Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes).
