Guild Hall presents the debut collaborative performance from vocalist, composer, and soundscape artist, Viv Corringham, and multi-instrumentalist and electronic musician, Gian Carlo Feleppa. The artists perform solo and collaborative works ranging across their shared interest in improvised, found, and responsive sound. Corringham’s set-up centers on her voice, collected field recordings from her ongoing “sound-walk” project, and personal writings; exploring both the artist’s and listener’s sense of place and link to personal history and memory.
“Fragments of her voice flicker like the light bouncing over water…later drifting into ambiguous urban sound, a backdrop for her intermittent vocal solo. It’s a gorgeous, calming piece, new age in the best sense.” –The Wire, August 202 Issue
A contortionist of sound, Feleppa defies description. Playing sitar, keys, drums, vocals, and looping it all through a series of pedals, he creates original and spontaneous music; from traditional Indian ragas to original acoustic ballads to electronic looping mania.

GE Smith presents PORTRAITS (streaming for the first time worldwide) featuring Joseph Arthur and LeRoy Bell; two very distinctly different singers. GE and LeRoy will serenade through some of their new songs to celebrate the release of their upcoming collaborative album, Stony Hill, out August 28th via BMG. Among the hits to be played is the stirring new song, “America”, revered by Rolling Stone as a gamechanger on the state of affairs. GE says, “you will witness an amazing singer, the one I’ve been looking for thirty years, and how we came to make this amazing project.” Joseph Arthur, who is known best for being discovered by Peter Gabriel, will open the show. Gabriel covered “In the Sun” for the album, Diana, Princess of Wales: Tribute, which was a big vote of confidence for this wise, soulful, singer-songwriter and painter. Watch Arthur paint GE as they move through an evocative, textured, acoustic landscape. This blockbuster virtually streamed concert is a must-see.

“You can never really prove anybody’s innocence, but you can be sure we’re all guilty. Every man bears witness to the crimes of all the others.”
—Jean-Baptiste Clamence, The Fall by Albert Camus
In Alexis Lloyd’s solo theatrical adaptation of Nobel Prize-winning French author Albert Camus’ The Fall, New York-based, Belgian-born actor Ronald Guttman takes on the role of anguished, exiled Parisian lawyer Jean-Baptiste Clamence, transporting his audience to the last circle of Hell: Amsterdam’s red-light district, circa 1956. Related in casual conversation to an unexpected interlocutor and set against the backdrop of the Second World War, this adaptation of Camus’ last complete work of fiction invokes the fall of man from the Garden of Eden as it explores themes of culpability, shame and regret. Escaping the crowded streets awash in neon light at a bar called Mexico City, Clamence reveals, in the form of a 60-minute monologue, the outcome of an event whose moral uncertainty has transformed him into a judge-repentant and postmodern prophet of the human condition. In this quiet and elegant presentation, the audience become his confessors, his mirror, and Clamence becomes theirs. Ronald Guttman, a recognizable presence on stage, screen, and television whose credits include Mad Men, Homeland, and the current Amazon hit series Hunters with Al Pacino, has presented developmental readings of The Fall with Naked Angels, En Garde Arts, and as part of the “A Stranger in the City” Camus Festival celebrating the 70th anniversary of Camus’ singular post-war visit to New York.
