sound-art / performance poetry World-premiering at Stay Gallery in Downey, California, a suburb of Los Angeles, babbel will consist of both live and recorded sound. As with many sound artists, Shabla created babbel to be adaptable to different sites and audiences and this first showing will include performers. He would be just as pleased to have the digital recordings play in a stark room. Saxophone, cello, and five voices, plus four different hour-long cds playing simultaneously, make up the majority of the performance. That which begins as cacophony soon devolves into sublime vibrations that allow the brain to transcend logic. “You will hear music and singing that isn’t part of the performance. Then, as the sound washes over the brain and reserves are released, language returns and words are deciphered that, also, are not part of the performance. In some ways, babbel is a conversation with the Divine.” One hour and fifteen minutes, babbel is offered at Stay Gallery on Saturday evening, January 25th, 2014, at 8pm. Advance tickets are $6 from the Stay Gallery website, stay-gallery. $8 at the door. For more information, go to RoyAnthonyShabla. stay-gallery/collections/events-workshops/products/babbel-pre-sale
