On January 10, 2013, national nonprofit Creative Capital announced its 2013
project grants in the categories of Emerging Fields, Literature and the
Performing Arts, representing a total of 46 funded projects by 66 artists
hailing from 17 states and Puerto Rico. Creative Capital’s investment in
each project includes up to $50,000 in direct project support (disbursed at
key points over the life of each project), plus more than $40,000 in
support and advisory services, making the organization’s total 2013
investment more than $4,140,000. Per category, 17 grants will be awarded in
Emerging Fields, 6 in Literature, and 23 in the Performing Arts. The funded
projects in Performing Arts cover a broad range of sub-disciplines,
including dance (both formal and experimental), theater, puppetry, musical
theater, experimental music, multimedia performance and performance art,
and include new musical works by Taylor Ho Bynum, Corey Dargel, Dohee Lee,
and Holcombe Waller. To date, Creative Capital has committed more than $29
million in direct funding and advisory support to 418 Creative Capital
projects (representing 529 artists). Inspired by venture-capital
principles, Creative Capital is a premier provider of risk capital in the
arts, taking chances on artists’ projects that are bold, innovative and
genre-stretching. The Creative Capital system helps artists working in all
creative disciplines to realize their visions and build sustainable
practices.

Below is information about each of the 2013 award winning music projects.

*Taylor Ho Bynum: The Acoustic Bicycle Tour (New Haven, CT)*

*The Acoustic Bicycle Tour* is a performance journey in which Taylor Ho
Bynum will travel solely on bicycle, presenting solo concerts and playing
with ensembles of area musicians. The endeavor is an act of composition, a
performance art piece, a philosophical statement, a celebration of musical
community, and an exercise in extreme physicality. Bynum sees clear
analogies between choosing to travel by bike and the pursuit of creative
music: the trip may be slower and more arduous, but it is ultimately more
rewarding in its acoustic pleasures and unexpected delights.

Bynum, a composer, cornet player, bandleader and interdisciplinary
collaborator, currently leads his Sextet, co-leads the little big band
Positive Catastrophe with Abraham Gomez-Delgado, and works with many
collective ensembles including a duo with Tomas Fujiwara and Quartet
Collective with Gomez-Delgado and dancers Rachel Bernsen and Melanie Maar.
Bynum’s ongoing association with Anthony Braxton is recognized as one of
the most fruitful partnerships of that iconic composer’s career, and his
work with Bill Dixon produced some of the departed trumpet innovator’s late
masterpieces. He has collaborated with other legendary figures including
Cecil Taylor and Wadada Leo Smith, and performs with forward- thinking
peers like Mary Halvorson, Jason Hwang, John Hebert and Gerald Cleaver. He
is also a founding partner of Firehouse 12 Records and the Executive
Director of the Tri-Centric Foundation.

*Jace Clayton: Gbadu and the Moirai Index (Brooklyn, NY)*

*Gbadu and the Moirai Index* is an experimental musical composition and
performance piece for four vocalists and the stock market. The performance
will be staged in New York near Wall Street, with singers representing the
Moirai (the three Fates) and Gbadu (their West African counterpart). Each
singer’s vocals are processed and transformed by real-time financial data,
mapped to character-appropriate stock market indexes. Due to market
fluctuations, although the scored is fixed, each performance will sound
radically different.

Jace Clayton is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice has evolved out
of his work as a DJ, built around core concerns for how sound, technology
use in low-income communities and public space interact, with an emphasis
on Latin America, Africa and the Arab world. Performing as DJ /rupture,
Clayton has toured internationally, DJed in a band with Norah Jones,
performed in two John Peel Sessions, and was a turntable soloist with the
80-member Barcelona Symphony Orchestra. Recent collaborators include
guitarist Guy Picciotto (Fugazi) and filmmaker Jem Cohen. In May 2012
Clayton released Sufi Plug Ins, a free suite of audio software tools based
on non-western/poetic conceptions of sound and alternative interfaces.
These artistic activities find counterpart in Clayton’s weekly WFMU (91.1
FM NYC) radio show, “Mudd Up”; grassroots curatorial projects such as:
spearheading 2011’s art-research residency Beyond Digital, which took place
in Casablanca and Tangiers, Morocco; hosting a book club; and a series of
live radio shows, incorporating video, held at Brooklyn’s Spectacle
Theater. Clayton is writing a nonfiction book on music at the dawn of the
digital century to be published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

*Complex Movements (Carlos Garcia, Invincible, Wesley Taylor and
Waajeed): Complex
Movements: Self Titled (Detroit, MI)*

*Complex Movements: Self Titled* is an immersive environment built on the
aesthetics of hip hop designed to embody the communal lessons found within
complex sciences. Through interactive hip-hop performance, video projection
mapping and creative technologies, this performative installation explores
the relationship between art, science, and social justice movements.
Inspired by Grace Lee Boggs and decentralized, community-led social justice
movements, the project provokes audience members to participate through
physical and vocal responses, feeding their own concepts into improvised
sections that support the premise that change occurs through critical
connections rather than critical mass.

Complex Movements is a Detroit-based artist collective composed of graphic
designer/fine artist Wesley Taylor, music producer/filmmaker Waajeed and
hip-hop lyricist/activist Invincible, with creative technologist Carlos
(L05) Garcia. Their multimedia performance installations, hand crafted
songs and trans-genre experiments explore the relationship between complex
science and social justice movements. Complex Movements is a recipient of a
2012 MAP Fund grant, Michigan ArtServe/Creative Many’s CSA project and
winner of ArtPrize’s juried time-based performance category. They have
presented their work at The Detroit Science Center for Kresge’s Art X
Detroit festival, Re:View Gallery, the Network of Ensemble Theater’s
Microfest, Cranbrook Art Museum, and SiTE:LAB at the old Grand Rapid’s
Public Museum.

*Corey Dargel: The Three Christs (Brooklyn, NY)*

*The Three Christs* is a 90-minute music-theater piece by composer/lyricist
Corey Dargel inspired by true stories of people who believe they are Jesus
Christ. It takes a sideways look at the concept of fundamental beliefs. *The
Three Christs* distorts and transforms real-life case studies of
psychiatric patients with Messianic delusions by incorporating Christian
gay-rehabilitation therapy sessions, visions of the Virgin Mary, and a
psychologist who, it turns out, may be as delusional as his patients. The
piece is scored for four singers (including Dargel) and the amplified
chamber ensemble, Newspeak (clarinet, electric guitar, electric drums,
vibraphone, keyboard, violin and cello). Contributing artists also include
playwright Honor Molloy and stage director Emma Griffin.

Texas-born composer and singer-songwriter Corey
Dargel<http://www.newmusicbox.org/articles/corey-dargel/>has shared
the stage with artists ranging from Owen Pallett, Joanna Newsom,
and Grizzly Bear, to the Brooklyn Philharmonic, the string quartet ETHEL,
NOW Ensemble, and the electric guitar quartet Dither. His fourth commercial
album, *OK It’s Not OK*, songs about composure and depression, will be
released in 2014 by New Amsterdam Records. Dargel studied composition at
Oberlin Conservatory with John Luther Adams, Pauline Oliveros, and Brenda
Hutchinson. He is also a founding member of the Brooklyn-based experimental
theater company, Laboratory Theater.

*Degenerate Art Ensemble (Joshua Kohl and Haruko Nishimura):
The Predator’s Songstress (Seattle, WA)*

*The Predator’s Songstress* is a series of multi-disciplinary,
site-transforming portraits revealing the stories of six invented
anti-heroines inspired by historical, mythical, and contemporary women.
This work aims to redefine what a portrait can be, approaching the subjects
through multiple interpretations set in an immersive environment including
theatrical dance, diorama, video portraiture, and live music developed by
the Degenerate Art Ensemble (DAE)’s team of artists and artisans. The inner
world of these characters is explored through emotive song, visceral dance,
physical theatricality, and DAE’s punk-comedy-horror sensibility and
audience interaction. Large format video portraits explore the iconography
of each character. Sculptural dioramas created in collaboration with the
innovative firm Olson Kundig Architects encapsulate the world the
characters inhabit. Animation pieces tell their stories. These elements are
bound together in an environment infused with live, post-genre music for
strings, electronics, and idiosyncratic voice.

The work of Seattle-based multi-art group Degenerate Art Ensemble,
co-founded and co-directed by Joshua Kohl and Haruko Nishimura, has been
presented by major dance and music venues, as well as shown in galleries
and was featured as the subject of a large scale exhibition at Seattle’s
Frye Art Museum in 2011. Nishimura’s passion as a director and performer is
to question the relationship between audience and performer—to put them in
each other’s way, to cause collision and conflict—with the goal of
awakening and transformation. Kohl’s approach to music is similarly
combustive, dedicated to the exploration and proliferation of genre-free
music that utilizes all of the available tools of music-making, from
classical instruments to electronics and new inventions. In addition to his
work with DAE he is also an avid conductor of indie classical music. DAE
recently worked with legendary theater director Robert Wilson to create *On
the Beach*, a re-interpretation of Wilson and Philip Glass’s *Einstein on
the Beach* for the Baryshnikov Center in New York. DAE’s recent work, *Red
Shoes*, which received a Music Theatre Now award from the German-based
International Theatre Institute, will be presented in Jönköping, Sweden as
part of the Swedish Biennial for Performing Arts in 2013.

*Dohee Lee: The Mago Project (Oakland, CA)*

*The Mago Project* is a performance installation integrating music, dance,
animation, ritual, and mudangism (Korean shamanism). Through an exploration
of the myth of Mago and Dohee’s own life story, the piece unfolds in six
chapters. The project will culminate in a series of
performance/installations at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San
Francisco in 2013-2015.

Dohee Lee’s rigorous training in the rituals of Korean shamanism—chanting,
dancing, singing and costuming—form the foundation for her innovative
explorations in sound and movement. Since her arrival in the U.S., Dohee
has been a vital contributor to both the traditional and contemporary
Asian-American cultural arts landscape of the Bay area and beyond, working
with Degenerate Art Ensemble, inkBoat, Kronos Quartet, Larry Ochs,
Kunst-Stoff Dance, Anna Halprin, New York-based ensemble ETHEL (work
commissioned by Meet the Composer), Dance Monks and many others. In 2004,
Lee founded the PURI Project, which presents a fusion of dance, music,
visual art, and audience participation.

*Mondo Bizarro (Millicent Johnnie, Sean LaRocca and Nick Slie): Cry
You One(New Orleans, LA)
*

*Cry You One*, a collaborative project by Mondo Bizarro (choreographer
Millicent Johnnie, composer Sean LaRocca, and writer/director Nick Slie)
combines a site-specific performance with an outdoor procession to
highlight how rapidly one of the world’s most vibrant cultures is
disappearing. Every half hour, we lose nearly a football field’s worth of
the Louisiana coast to the Gulf of Mexico—more than twenty-four square
miles a year. Shared on the sites of erosion in South Louisiana, *Cry You
One* will use the artists’ bodies and the music, dances and stories of
their home to create a series of community processions to bless and
remember the land as it gives way to the gulf.

Sean LaRocca is a composer, music producer, publisher, and performing
musician. Born in Laurel, Mississippi and raised in New Orleans, LA, Sean
has lived, studied and performed in Boston, MA, where he attended Berklee
College of Music; in Santa Fe, NM, where he attended St. John’s College and
studied privately with Joseph Weber; and in Annapolis, MD, where he
received a Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree from St. John’s and studied
privately with Douglas Allanbrook. Since returning to New Orleans in 1989,
Sean has studied, performed and recorded with numerous local musicians, and
has composed and performed works for video, television, film and theater.
In 1997, Sean began collaborating with New Orleans theater company ArtSpot
Productions, and has since composed and performed music for ArtSpot
original works and productions including: *Rumours of War* (2011); *Loup
Garou* (2009); *Flight* (2008); *Beneath the Strata/Disappearing* (2006);
Chekhov’s *Wild Ride* (2004); *The Maid of Orléans* (2004); and *The End
and Back Again, My Friend* (1999).

*Holcombe Waller: LGBT Requiem Mass (Portland, OR) *

*The LGBT Requiem Mass* will leverage the unique trans-disciplinary,
trans-institutional convention of the modern Mass to honor LGBT people
persecuted, or abandoned to persecution, in the name of religion. Intended
to explore music’s role in shaping cultural, political and religious
ideology, the project will spark dialogue among artists, religious
congregations, arts presenters and communities seeking common ground in the
global movement for LGBT safety and equality.

Holcombe Waller is a singer-songwriter and performance artist living in
Portland, OR. He has authored five albums and three touring
interdisciplinary concerts. He was awarded a 2011 United States Artist
Berresford Fellowship in recognition of artistic excellence in music. He is
known for his songwriting combining folk, popular, and liturgical
influences, as well as his approach to music as “total theater.” He is an
accomplished video-maker, directing his own art-music videos and generating
video design within his own performances. His music-theater performances
have been presented or commissioned by On the Boards, PICA, Under the
Radar, YBCA, Centre Pompidou and many others. He is an avid collaborator,
including work with Miguel Gutierrez, Zoe Scofield, Joe Goode, Ryan
Trecartin and a feature-length score for filmmaker David Weissman. He most
recently released *Into the Dark Unknown*, a compilation of songs taken
from the eponymous 2008 MAP Fund-supported touring show. Outside of the
performing arts world, Waller has worked with and/or performed with The
National, Feist, Mia Doi Todd, Bob Mould, Storm Large, China Forbes,
Gabriel Kahane, Menomena, Justin Vivian Bond, The Oregon Symphony, and The
Magnetic Fields.
