[NewMusic] John Butcher workshop: June 7

[Robair, Gino]

Hello everybody,

English saxophonist John Butcher will be visiting the Bay Area in early June
to take part in the Matthew Sperry Memorial Festival. I am putting together
an improvisation workshop for him on Saturday afternoon, June 7, in Oakland.

The workshop is for folks with any level of musicianship. Dancers, actors,
readers, and others are also welcome.

If you're not familiar with Buthcer's music, he's one of the foremost
innovators on the instrument in Europe, combining a deep knowledge of
multiphonic playing with circular breathing and feedback. He does workshops
often in Europe, which include some of the practices developed by John
Stevens among others, as well as his own concepts. He's worked with everyone
from The Ex and Polwechsel to Derek Bailey and Eddie Prevost. Check out his
work at www.johnbutcher.org.uk .

The workshop will last around three hours. Fee is $35 a person.

Please contact me off-list if you are interested. I have a limited number of
spaces available.
Thanks!
Cheers,
