Power Bike Parade rained out OCT 17, see us instead OCT 24!!

**POWER BIKE PARADE
**SAT OCT 24 (our last ride!)
**6:30 - 7:30pm

Power Bike Parade won't be riding tonite, Sat Oct 17th due to garbage weather. So our next and last ride is SAT OCT 24, at 6:30pm along 14th street in Manhattan, starting at the Con Edison power plant on the east side & continuing back and forth for about an hour. Come join us on the ride if you have a bike, or if not, just come and see us/the rest of the festival!

Power Bike Parade is a bike-powered electronic orchestra that demonstrates the use of an alternative power source by converting the kinetic energy of pedaling a bike into electricity used to create a festival of electro-acoustic music and glittering LED lights. The two-rider parade takes this everyday act of riding a bicycle, and expands it into a visual and sonic spectacle, re-appropriating the act as a performance and a venue for expression.

The bikes are outfitted with contact microphones, speakers, and custom bike instruments to amplify the sounds the bike makes during a ride, while LED lights are mounted on the bikes to light our way, amplifying and transforming the bike ride itself into a performance.

Big thanks to Brooklyn Bike & Board for material & logistical support!

**We really need people to document, so if anyone could come out Sat Oct 24th and take some pictures or shoot some video, that would be SUPER helpful!!** contact us at: semiotech.info@gmail.com

Transitions SOUNDWALK :: Oct 17th, 18th CANCELED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER

Led by Andrea Williams of NYSAE

The Transitions Walk begins in Union Square and incorporates blocks of 14th and 13th street. The purpose of this type of walk is to gain an understanding of the psychogeographical boundaries between noisier commercial locations and quieter, more residential areas, and the noticeable transitions in the soundscape when passing through these zones. Walkers will also become aware of the demarcations of public space and private space through sound.

The Transitions Soundwalk begins at 1:30pm both Oct. 17th and 18th. Please meet in front of the statue of George Washington in Union Square Park at 1:30pm. This walk will last for one hour.

Only 10 spots available for each walk! Please RSVP with Andrea at lemurz66@yahoo.com.
