What might the singing style in folk music from "Arctic Asia" or "Insular Pacific" say about these regions' respective cultural levels of…sexual repression? Such was one type of question monumental blues and folk music archivist Alan Lomax sought to answer with Cantometrics. Introduced in the mid-1960s, and harnessing some of the earliest computer technologies (like the IBM360), Cantometrics was Lomax's little-known, yet astronomically ambitious-and widely dismissed-system of coding all forms of sung music. oyster, a humorous and probing new experimental opera from composer and multidisciplinary artist Joe Diebes begs the question: how much can we really know of people and culture through computer profiling? Embedded in this 1966-set performance are nascent hints at a culture careening towards the slicker algorithmizing of all facets of life.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Alan Lomax tried to understand folk songs from around the world within one idiosyncratic system. OYSTER, from composer and multidisciplinary artist Joe Diebes, examines what's morphed by, and lost in, the datafication of all things.

What might the singing style in folk music from Arctic Asia or Insular Pacific say about these regions' respective cultural levels of sexual repression? Such was one type of question monumental blues and folk music archivist Alan Lomax sought to answer with Cantometrics. Introduced in the mid-1960s, and harnessing some of the earliest computer technologies, Cantometrics was Lomax's little-known, yet astronomically ambitious and widely dismissed system of numerically coding and analyzing all forms of sung music. In oyster, a humorous and probing new experimental opera from composer and multidisciplinary artist Joe Diebes, the score reverses this process of turning songs into numbers by turning Lomax's numbers back into songs. (February 20-21, at Roulette, 509 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn) The surprising results beg a larger, pervasive contemporary question how much can we really know of people and culture through computer profiling?
