Commend HERE / THERE / SEE
16 videos • 236 views • by RVNG Intl. Commend HERE is the materialization of moments. It celebrates and circulates the magic that manifests within our walls and on our floors. Since opening our doors, we have hosted a myriad performances, all of which have been spontaneous, unique and responsive. We've captured many of these moments through audio, static and moving imagery. Now we seek to share some of that documentation with our community through a limited run of cassettes with live recorded and supporting material to represent these unique happenings. Commend THERE is an ongoing series of music recorded beyond but inspired by the imaginative efforts of Commend, RVNG Intl.’s Lower East Side space and storefront of the past six years. It is the third limb of our in house label, alongside Commend SEE and Commend HERE, dedicated to illuminating distinctive sonic adventures from within this small universe. Commend SEE is the surreal serialization of works created for display and distribution from the community space’s Lower East Side nest. It is an endeavor that identifies artists working in different mediums, but existing in the same energy field of this diverse venue. We will initiate a conversation with our collaborators that is dimensional but temporal, infinite effs given. In stretching and blending the dimensional / temporal (as well as transient / celestial and permanent / earthly), many of our projects will pair a visual artist or artisan with a musician.
