+ Saralyse Kissler + Laurie Koh + Tania Lanfer + Sarah Miles + Kirthi Nath + Tom Ontiveros +
+ J.H. Prynne + Bruno Ruviaro + Marcia Scott + Erik Ulman +

The following is a brief journal attempting to reconstruct the main events; as before, many of the most memorable experiences happened outside of the schedule—dinners (initially prepared principally by Kristi Elkins, later mostly by Tom Ontiveros), private conversations, time at the river. Much has been omitted here; but this will give some sense of the week.

Friday (June 29)
People arrived over the course of the day and ate and conversed.

Saturday (June 30)
In the morning Heather Gordon read from her poetic sequence The Word and No Gasping. Lunch was followed by much general conversation, and in the late afternoon Kirthi Nath showed three of her recent films and videos. After dinner Erik Ulman talked a bit about the films of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet; after looking at excerpts from Pedro Costa’s Ou git votre sourire enfoui? and a documentary on the filming of Chronik von Anna Magdalena Bach, we watched and discussed Nicht Versöhnt.

Sunday (July 1)
We had agreed the previous day to schedule frequent readings; so after breakfast Cole Heinowitz read from Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy. Then Erik discussed his cello piece L’Extase de M. Poher; since its title and structure derive from a poem by Jeremy Prynne, Erik read this before showing a video of the work’s premiere, as performed (magnificently) by Séverine Ballon at Musiques démesurées IX in Clermont-Ferrand. After lunch, Marcia Scott showed and discussed her video work in progress, which stitches together several incomplete pieces. (Over the week she would also make a number of film portraits of Poto participants.) After Marcia’s presentation Jeremy gave a summary of his recent book Field Notes: ‘The Solitary Reaper’ and Others, a long analysis of Wordsworth’s poem, its context, meaning, and reception.

Monday (July 2)
The morning reading, by Cole, was from Isaac d’Israeli’s Curiosities of Literature. Much of the day was relaxed, spent in conversation, rehearsal, and by the river. Then, as a lead-in to a viewing and discussion of Pedro Costa’s Colossal Youth scheduled for later in the week, we watched a purported influence on that work, John Ford’s Sergeant Rutledge. This film provoked a vehemently critical response from Jeremy, which initiated several hours of discussion.

Tuesday (July 3)
Cole’s morning reading was of Byron’s “The Age of Bronze”. In the early afternoon, Erik gave a presentation on the work of Bernd Alois Zimmermann, concentrating on Die Soldaten and Musiques pour les soupers du Roi Ubu; and then Tom Ontiveros led a tour of the ranch, pointing out various striking effects of natural lighting. (Throughout the week Tom had a number of his photographs on view, largely documenting his work in theatrical lighting design.) In the evening, Jeremy and Cole read Shelley’s “Mont Blanc,” having arranged for Erik to write and perform a musical prelude to the poem on violin, and for Bruno Ruviaro and Tania Lanfer to create a postlude, for which they used piano and a laptop (in which progressively distorted fragments from Mahler were recognizable). Finally, we watched the first two acts of a video of Die Soldaten.

Wednesday (July 4)
In the morning Bruno presented his Anomia cycle, in a concert recording by Inauthentica, discussing his interest in quotation. In the afternoon were two readings: Erik read Gertrude Stein’s “What Are Master-pieces and Why Are There So Few of Them,” and Jeremy responded by reading Francis Ponge’s “My Creative Method.” Since it was July 4, Marcia’s parents and the Kisslers came out to barbecue; and then Marcia, Jeremy, and Tania went out on the Scott family boat to see the fireworks. The others stayed behind and, after a night walk, did vocal improvisations together. Finally, Erik performed John Cage’s piano piece One5.

Thursday (July 5)
Early in the morning, Marcia and her mom went out again on the boat, with Tom and Heather. Cole gave the day’s first presentation, reading a number of recent poems and discussing work in progress. In the afternoon, Heather read more of her writings, this time from three sequences collected as Here. After discussion, we listened to Heidegger’s reading of Hölderlin’s poem “Der Ister”. Then we went to the creek, where Erik read Hamburger’s translation of the same poem; then Jeremy read the translation of “Bread and Wine.” After dinner Marcia presented Costa’s Colossal Youth, which we watched and discussed.

Friday (July 6)
In the morning Saralyse Kissler conducted the first of two yoga sessions. After lunch Jeremy read his most recent poetic sequence, To Pollen, which was followed by extensive discussion. After dinner there was much informal musicmaking (reading especially through Brahms, Mahler, Bartok…; rehearsals for Saturday’s concert had been going on throughout the week); and then we watched Straub and Huillet’s film of Schoenberg’s opera Moses und Aron.

Saturday (July 7)
The main event was the afternoon concert. The program was:

a Bartok arrangement of a Hungarian folk song, performed by Adrian Coburn, voice, accompanied by Bruno at the piano; a collaboration between Cole and Bruno, in which Cole orally improvised a text and was recorded by Bruno, so that she could improvise another layer of response; a repeat of the video of Séverine Ballon’s performance of Erik’s L’Extase de M. Poher (followed later by Jeremy’s recitation of his poem); Cole and Heather’s reading of a collaborative poem called “1, 2, 7” (for numbers of lines allotted to each reader in turn); two vocal works by Christian Wolff: a solo song, After a Few Years (text: Rosa Luxemburg), sung by Erik; and I Like to Think of Harriet Tubman (text: Susan Griffin), performed by Adrian (reciting voice), Erik (violin), and Bruno and Tania (piano); and, finally, Adrian (voice) and Erik Burns (piano) performed a song whose music had been composed by Erik B. and for which Adrian had written Poto-specific words.

After the concert Saralyse conducted a second yoga session; and, after a last trip to the river, there was a concluding feast, prepared by Saralyse and Erik B.

Sunday (July 8)
In the morning was clean-up and departure.

The Third Poto Festival took place between June 28 and July 7, 2006. In the past we’ve posted a schedule of events; that is less useful this time around, as there were fewer official events and more free interactions among the participants. Instead, I’ll offer this very abbreviated diary: it leaves unsaid what is most important, the actual content of the exchanges, and their lasting, developing effects; but that’s not something I can quickly summarize.

One of the happiest features of this festival was the presence of the poet J.H. Prynne, who joined us from England a few days before Poto, and who stayed on in Los Altos for a few days after. On Tuesday the 27th, Marcia, Jeremy, and I drove to the Kissler Ranch in Grass Valley to begin setting up; this continued on the 28th, supplemented by some time spent with the film Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet made of Schoenberg’s opera Moses und Aron: we discussed the mechanics of serial technique, as well as the opera’s larger significance and Straub and Huillet’s interpretation. On the 29th other participants began to arrive. First were the poet Cole Heinowitz, from Bard College, and the pianist John Mark Harris, from San Diego; then the composers Jason Federmeyer and Yaron Sokolov, from Stanford University; and also lighting designer and photographer Tom Ontiveros, from UCSD, and masseuse Sarah Miles, the two of whom invaluably took upon themselves the bulk of the cooking duty. Much of the day was spent in conversation: about poetic practice in the afternoon, focussing on Cole’s completion of her sequence The Rubicon; and about global politics in the evening.

On Friday the 30th, more formal presentations began. In the morning I played recordings of my Thoughts on the Esterházy Court Uniform and my Third String Quartet; the former is based on a poem by Jeremy, which I read and which helped to orientate discussion. In the afternoon, Cole read The Rubicon, which again led to lively conversation; in the evening, John Mark gave a beautiful recital:

William Byrd: The Eighte Pavian (pub. 1591)
Carl Ruggles: Evocations (1943, rev. 1956)
Henry Cowell: The Harp of Life
Claude Debussy: from Preludes, Book II (1912)
........La Puerta del Vino
........Bruyères
........La terrasse des audiences du clair de lune
........Canope
Morton Feldman: Last Pieces (1959)

On Saturday the 1st we had the densest collection of people and events: poet Sabina Piersol arrived from San Francisco, as did composer Carolyn Chen from Stanford, travelling in with Kristi Elkins, who had cooked and supported us in the previous two festivals but could this time around spare only one night. Several friends of Sabina’s came as well, to camp and observe. In the morning Jason presented a recording of his piece Irredenta and discussed his current (and elaborate) compositional processes and concerns. In the afternoon, John Mark and I gave a miniature recital, consisting of the violin and piano version of Franz Liszt’s La Lugubre Gondola and John Cage’s final piece, Two6. Then Yaron explained his new work in process, Kedma; discussion centered on his microtonal scales and the implications of his allusions to Baroque and Middle Eastern practices and traditions.

Marcia’s parents Mark and Cathy Scott prepared a marvelous barbecue dinner for everyone, including our hosts the Kisslers. In the evening, Marcia showed her recent work in video and film, Suspicious and A cup of tea for Carolyn. The latter was made in collaboration with Carolyn, who presented her own version, Still. Afterwards, Tom demonstrated possibilities of light projection outdoors. The night was capped off by a group reading of The Gangsterlode, a new and obscene play by Raul (The Pole) Colbert.

On Sunday the 2nd the first event was designed by Sarah. Outdoors in the grass she led us first through some stretching exercises, and then into a blindfolded exploration of the space, opening new awareness of senses, environment, and personal contact. Jeremy accompanied us on the recorder. In the afternoon Jeremy gave a rare and memorable reading, first of his fierce poem Refuse Collection, and then of his sequence Blue Slides at Rest. In the evening Carolyn showed us more recent video work; and finally we watched Monte Hellman’s Two-Lane Blacktop.

Sunday night and Monday morning some of our core constituency left; and the density of collective events decreased, while smaller engagements continued. The main event on Monday was my presentation of the work of La Monte Young, concentrating on an analysis of the Trio for Strings. Later there was more time spent at the creek; and after dinner a viewing of Fritz Lang’s The 1000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse.

Tuesday was July 4th; in the late morning I presented an overview of the music of Dieter Schnebel, focussing on für Stimmen (missa est) and the Schubert-Phantasie. To celebrate Independence Day, Sabina, Jeremy, and I read some great American poets-various shorter works by John Wieners, Michael McClure’s For Artaud, and then Ed Dorn’s Gunslinger, Book One. Much of the evening was spent outdoors, again exploring the magnificent landscape.

Wednesday the private discussions continued, with more time at the river as well; and we began to put things back in order for tomorrow’s departure. In the evening we watched Todd Haynes’ Safe, which provoked from Jeremy a very strong critique. And on Thursday morning, we finished cleaning and rearranging the furniture, and the last of us headed back to the Bay Area.

Tuesday (July 1)
The first of us arrived and set up.  (This account will be skeletal, and won’t include the many conversations among the artists, nor the rehearsals, impromptu music readings, etc., that filled up much of the week.  I should also note, thankfully, that once again, Kristi Elkins would take charge of the kitchen, contributing the bulk of the food and labor; she would be assisted by many, but primarily by Tom Ontiveros and, later, Angie Nero.  Michelle Lou and Israeli Reichman also each prepared a special dinner.  Most of the photography of the gathering would this time be Israeli’s work; he would also shoot many portraits of participants over the course of the festival.)

Wednesday (July 2)
After an introductory meeting to set a rough schedule for the festival, Jeff Treviño gamely gave the first presentation, presenting his research on old recordings and changing interpretative standards.  After lunch, Erik Ulman briefly introduced the work of the Judson dance group, after which Marcia Scott presented some videos of Trisha Brown’s early choreography.  She would teach one piece, Primary Accumulation (1971), to volunteers for performance at the end of the session.  After dinner, we viewed Raul Ruiz’ On Top of the Whale (1982).

Thursday (July 3)
Adrian Coburn presented her work with just intonation, including a brief singing workshop.  Then Greg Lukianoff read from his novel in progress, X.  After lunch, Carolyn Chen presented three recent pieces.  After dinner there was a showing and discussion of Andy Warhol’s film The Life of Juanita Castro (1965).

Friday (July 4)
In the morning Erik gave an introduction to the music of Wilhelm Killmayer.  Then Juan Cristóbal Cerrillo discussed his own recent music and his thinking about the “imperceptible.”  After lunch Kwami Coleman explained George Russell’s “Lydian chromatic concept of tonal organization.”  After dinner David Coll presented his recent music; and Cole Heinowitz gave a dramatic reading of some favorite texts (Weil, Sade, Shelley…), alternating with vigorous ragtime piano performances by Jeff. 

Saturday (July 5)
Video artist Ian Winters and composer Evelyn Ficarra began the day with a screening and discussion of their collaborative work in progress 12 Short Films about Water.  After lunch curator Paola Santoscoy presented the work of several contemporary performance and installation artists.  Then Sabina Piersol read her recent poems.  In an annual tradition, the Scott and Kissler families joined the Poto participants for a barbecue dinner.  After the festivities, Erik presented Pedro Costa’s film about Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, Où gît votre sourire enfoui? (2002). 

Sunday (July 6)
Masseuse Sarah Miles began the day by giving a workshop on massage technique, performed on the body of Grace Leslie.  Then Jeff presented recordings of his recent music.  After lunch Cole read her poetic sequences The Rubicon, first presented at Poto two years before, and the new Songs of Joy.  She was followed by Heather Gordon, who read a new sequence, come down winter, and splenic chord.  During dinner Greg read a short story featuring a woman with a strong animosity towards cats.  After dinner Grace played a recent electronic piece and discussed her current work with sound spatialization; and Ian showed a video projection made for and at the pond with audience participation from Juan Cristóbal and Heather G. Finally there was a showing of another Ruiz film, La Vocation suspendue (1978). 

Monday (July 7)
Erik began the morning with a presentation of his recent music, focusing on the Fragment for Jules Olitski and Ocean.  Then Jason Federmeyer presented his newest piece, to end…to begin.  Following lunch we gathered at the creek for a reading:  Adrian first read from Alain Badiou on politics and community; Cole and Erik then read Cesare Pavese’s dialogue “The Lady of Beasts,” from the Dialogues with Leucò; Erik followed with Hölderlin’s hymns “Mnemosyne” and “Patmos,” in the Richard Sieburth translation.  The Pavese was a preparation for a viewing of Jean-Marie Straub’s film Le Genou d’Artemide (2007); which was followed by an outdoor projection of the Fischli and Weiss film The Right Way (1983).  Sometime during the day Paola and Juan Cristóbal created an almost imperceptible creek sculpture. 

Tuesday (July 8)
Erik read Heidegger’s essay “Overcoming Metaphysics,” prompting Jeff to read some John Dewey.  In the afternoon Carolyn gave a presentation on “courage and awesomeness” in contemporary music.  Before dinner Marcia, Paola, Carolyn, and Adrian performed Primary Accumulation in the meadow.  After dinner there was a musical performance—Erik and Jeff played the two Louanges from Messiaen’s Quatuor pour le fin du temps as well as the premiere of an untitled duo by David; Jeff and Juan Cristóbal performed Steve Reich’s Clapping Music.  Then there was a group reading of Cole’s libretto for a Western opera.  Then all went down to the barn, where Tom, with Angie’s assistance, had prepared a video projection.  At night, after some participants had left, there was one further film viewing, of Jacques Tourneur’s I Walked with a Zombie (1943). 

Wednesday (July 9)
Those remaining cleaned up and, hastened by a fire that had broken out at the edge of the property, cleared out.
