From larniefox at gmail.com Mon Sep 1 22:21:15 2008 From: larniefox at gmail.com (Larnie Fox) Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2008 22:21:15 -0700 Subject: [NewMusic] Time Sensitive Materials and Thingamajigs Message-ID: Greetings all ~ A few "save the dates" for Bay Area residents, hopefully interesting to sympathetic non residents: The Crank Ensemble will perform in the midst of displays and dioramas at the Oakland Museum as part of the "Music for People and Thingamajigs" Festival on Sunday, September 21 from 1:00 until 4:00 pm. Come see us! Bodil and I have been working toward a show at Cricket Engine Gallery in Oakland we're calling "Time Sensitive Materials". Bodil has mostly been painting, but with a textile artist's aesthetic, and I have mostly been doing sound sculptures. The show will run from September 12-28, open by appointment only. Go ahead, make an appointment. The opening reception is from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, on Friday, September 12. In addition, there will be a Time Walk starting at the Gallery at 4:00 on Saturday September 20. Here's an artists' statement: ______________________________________________________ Time Sensitive Materials We were married on May 22, 1999, in the Redwoods at Butano State Park and the next day were whisked away on a honeymoon to Costa Rica. While we were there, we we began a series of discussions about time that have continued to RIGHT NOW, this very day. We were very surprised at how sometimes the time seems to pass very slowly and other times passes very quickly. Being in Costa Rica, surrounded by unfamiliar sights, smells, tastes, and sounds, we noticed our time appeared longer. We sensed that a day included a lot more time than a "normal" day at home. We thought about the measured, linear way time is described by our society, and the winding, colored and irregular way we experience it. We theorized that experienced time consists of "packets", that is units of experience. The more packets, the longer the the time seems to take. Since then we have been noticing the length of our days change vary depending on the amount and qualify of packets. We enjoy the richness and sense of fulfillment when the packets are plentiful. In contrast, we notice that some days have fewer packets of new experience with the same commute, the familiar office, the usual coworkers, kitchen, shower, etc.. We notice how the passage of time, as we experience it, can have qualities other than length ~ it can also have depth and emotional color. Our discussions have included historical measures of time (water, sand, sky, machines) human life (Lucy, who lived three and a half million years ago), our own life time (30,000 days), and eternity (endless?). We thought about time as defined from different perspectives: Society claiming a linear, repetitive time as defined by clocks and calendars, science claiming a time that can be curved, that is part of a continuum with space, that can have parallel time lines, and the way we actually perceive time. Is time a straight line? Is it a circle? A spiral? A network? Though "clock time" is not in our control ~ is perceived time? Can we cure our "time poverty" through manipulation of "packets" of perceived time? We explore time from very different artistic perspectives; Larnie by using sound and kinetic sculptures while Bodil is moving to a painting style that is highly influenced by her textile background. As we struggle represent packets and perceived time using a visual format, we confront other ways of looking at time ~ a life time, eternity, our own time, measures of time ~ raising questions arise that have no easy answers.

Looks like it comes on again on Sept 9th at 9pm and midnite CST (Not sure if Ovation runs separate west coast feeds or not, so check times). They play it a few times a month or so. It's only an hour long WITH commercials. I think this was supposed to be the start of a series of some sort, with different musicians, but Ken's seems to be the only one they have so far. It's basically set up as typical "day in the life" format, showing rehearsals, writing, travelling, booking, schlepping gear, the good and the bad, etc. It has several partial performances with all of his combos in various venues. The final Jaap Blonk piece I believe is on the only piece played in its entirety, at the very end before the credits, and it's pretty freakin' incredible IMO. I'd say it's worth a look. There's bits of it on YouTube if you want a preview.

He has been a maverick presence on the fringes of the avant garde ever since. His influence has had more impact on younger composers such as Susan Stenger, Lois V Vierk, David First, and Glenn Branca. He's even worked with Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Lee Renaldo on "Guitar two, for four" which is actually for five guitarists. Niblock constructs big 24-track digitally-processed monolithic microtonal drones, resulting in sound without melody or rhythm. Movement is slow, changes imperceptible, and his music has a way of creeping up on you. Since 1968, Niblock has put on over 1,000 concerts in his loft space, including Ryoji Ikeda, Zbigniew Karkowski and Jim O'Rourke. www.phillniblock.com sfSound Group has been presenting innovative and challenging concerts in the San Francisco bay area since 1999. A true 21st century ensemble, the group has an extraordinary roster of Bay Area composer-performers whose virtuosic and "extended" instrumental abilities are equally balanced with their involvement in composition, electronic sound, performance art, computer audio programming, and experimental instrument making. The group's sfSoundSeries presents cutting-edge new works by local and international composers, virtuosic improvisations, theatrical performances, live diffusion of tape music, and avant-garde classics. The group also frequently presents existing work in highly creative "radical transcriptions," blurring the lines between performance, composition, interpretation and improvisation. www.sfsound.org/group Sharkiface is Bay Area experimental artist Angela Edwards, co-founder of the veteran "costume noise" & comedy duo Tarantism, a member of the electronic duo Pigs In The Ground and the macabre experimental doo-wop quintet Diatric Puds. Solo performances usually involve dense textures and rich layered tones using various rare electronic intstruments such as the Ciat Lonbarde Tranoe, a heavily modified stereo delay and looping instrument, and the Bug, an electro-acoustic soundboard built by Tom Nunn. www.sharkiface.com Cost : $17 General, $12 Student, $55 Festival Pass From mattdavignon at gmail.com Tue Sep 2 14:15:25 2008 From: mattdavignon at gmail.com (Matt Davignon) Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2008 14:15:25 -0700 Subject: [NewMusic] sorry! sorry!

Interesting that they chose Ken instead of someone from a more universal genre of music, although what it shows him going through are pretty typical things of all musicians, aside from the performances. The DVD does appear to include a "feature-length" 76 minutes version plus 40 minutes of additional footage, so it's obviously a lot different than what I have. I just added it to my Netflix queue.

The deadline for submitting grant applications is Friday, November 14, 2008. Grant awards will generally range from $1,500 to $3,000. The SFFCM Musical Grant Program will award grants through a competitive process to projects that seek to assist artistic, educational, and administrative endeavors. The program aims to foster chamber music performance in all its diversity from early music to jazz to experimental and contemporary forms. The program is open to professional chamber ensembles with budgets that do not exceed $100,000 who reside and/or work in the nine counties of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, Sonoma). Applications will also be accepted from individuals, organizations and composers with chamber music projects. There'll be workshops about the program, one in SF, and most likely one at 21 Grand on Monday October 27th Sl From djcypod at gmail.com Sun Sep 7 20:44:43 2008 From: djcypod at gmail.com (beau) Date: Sun, 7 Sep 2008 20:44:43 -0700 Subject: [NewMusic] SFEMF live broadcast NOW In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: thanks ma++!

I came close. The amazing Curtis Hollenbeck, architect, came with plans that made the building department guy happy. Building department guy likes looking at plans. The planning department was fine with it. The city administrator's office was fine with it as long as the cops were fine with it. The cops were fine with it, as long as the building dept and fire dept were fine with it. But in the end, neither building department guy or assistant fire marshall wanted to go out on a limb, and so they said they had to think about it, talk to other people in their departments, the usual. What it really comes down to is that there's something about live music that is inherently more dangerous than eating food and drinking alcoholic beverages. The fire department has various occupancy classifications based on the use of buildings. 21 Grand would be a Class A occupancy - gathering of over 50 people. Our building doesn't meet the requirements for this. However, two months ago, we got a fire inspector to come out, look at the building, and determine that we do meet the requirements for Class B. Class B includes offices, random other things, and eating and drinking establishments with fewer than 50 people. We thought, that as a restaurant and bar with over 50 people would be Class A, and one with fewer than 50 people would be a class B, then by that logic, a music venue with fewer than 50 people could also be a class B. We don't even have a kitchen, which is a common source of fires. We don't have classy little candles on tables like a lot of restaurants. We're not serving alcohol, so, in theory, our audiences would be sober, and have better decision making ability and faster reaction time in case of this theoretical fire. No dice. Assistant Fire Marshall says that we can't be a class B. As I was sitting there with seven or eight other bureaucrats who appear to be as difficult to herd as cats, I didn't take the time to ask for a rationale for this. But there you have it. Live music is dangerous.

This has to be excrutiating for you. I doubt that I could sit with those people and not take a whack at them. This is such crap. The City of Oakland says out of one side of their mouth that they want to revitalize downtown Oakland and support the arts. How is this supportive? I wonder if telling them that you have applied for and received funding from the city for cultural events, and that this is all part of the city's plan to revitalize...etc. - you know, throw their own rhetoric back in their face. So, if I understand correctly, anything you do at this point has to be "under the table", and in fact doing anything sort of puts you at risk. Am I reading this correctly? If so, I think we all need to do something to make contributions to keep 21 Grand open during this period. I'm broke, but I could make some small contribution toward the monthly rent you're paying. If we all pitched in a little each month it would make this a lesser burden on Sarah and Darren, who should not have to hold the feed bag while all of this stuff stalls with the city. I seriously think we (anyone that uses the space on a regular basis) should make monthly contributions. It's only fair - they're not able to present shows, consequently, they have no revenue. Would that be helpful? Please tell the truth and let us help support you.

We both have been working hard to pull this show together and are looking forward to sharing the results with you, along with drinks and snacks. The show will run until September 28, and will be open by appointment; you can contact us to make an appointment. The place is a little hard to find, so follow the directions carefully. If you use Google maps, etc., make sure you use the zip code, 94606, as there are two 499 Embarcadero Avenues in Oakland. Make your way to Oakland, then head East on Embarcadero Avenue. Cricket Engine is on the private road just before 5th Avenue. Don't be fooled by "Building #3" ; it is about halfway down the road, after at least 5 buildings on the left side. We'll put out the sandwich board. It's a 15 minute walk from BART. If you're not living in the Bay Area, you had better get your airline tickets right away. What: Time Sensitive Materials opening reception Show & Gallery information: http://cricketengine.org/ Where: 499 Embarcadero Avenue, Building 3, Oakland, CA 94606 How to find it: http://cricketengine.org/contact.htm When: 6:59 pm to 9:01 pm, PST, Friday September 12, 2008 Preview, Bodil: http://www.flickr.com/photos/larnie/2819872757/sizes/o/ Preview, Larnie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yScANG-BlWg And then, we'd also like you to come to the Time Walk and Potluck on Saturday September 20, two days before the Equinox, 4-8 pm, beginning at Cricket Engine. A time walk is like a dice walk, but the dice control both direction and speed. The very next day, the day before the Equinox, Sunday, September 21, The Crank Ensemble will perform in the midst of displays and dioramas at the Oakland Museum as part of the "Music for People and Thingamajigs" Festival from 1:00 until 4:00 pm. It looks like we're going on around 3:00.

Rather than having separate sets, the entire evening will be a 2 hour drone. The date is October 30th, from 8-10pm. I'm looking for a total of 15-18 musicians, and I'm currently up to 12. Everyone will play for up to 30 minutes. In past incarnations, I scheduled everyone's shift down to the 5 minute mark. This time I'm macro-managing -everyone should bring some sort of stop watch. It's up to you when you play, play 30 minutes in one sitting, or punch yourself in/out with the stop watch. So, looking for a few more people to play - but here's the important part - IT'S DRONE MUSIC! The intention is to range from quiet lowercase tones to overpowering Phill Niblock stuff. However skronky showboating and squelchy harsh noise are not what I'm after. Don't sign up for this one if you'll be bored playing the same note for minutes at a time. Please do plan to bring your own amplifier if you need one - I think ensemble pieces work better when the sound is localized to the musician. Regarding the stopwatch, it's good if it's silent, but should be quietish if not. I figure the occasional watch beep may be an acceptable artifact. Kitchen timers are certainly too loud. Your cellphone may have a stopwatch you can silence. Interested in participating? Drop me a line, and tell me what instrument you're playing.

Basically, this project is somewhat in response to this survey the bureaucrats at the City of Oakland inundated people with about marketing the arts in Oakland. After compiling the results, they came up with this powerpoint presentation that, besides being dorky, doesn't really address what I see are the obvious problems the arts face in Oakland. The video will be presented in tandem with a musical performance as part of the Illuminated Corridor on October 3rd, which will take place in the corridors of power, Frank Ogawa Plaza, where all the city government buildings are.

I figure along the lines if the usual "gotta have it now" ideologies we tend to gravitate towards, the prospects of having to ping everyone each time something's been added with a link to go and get it might get to be a little cumbersome and annoying after a while - to be able to just mention a single link on a few choice websites with a fancy button that says "subscribe" - soooo much more efficient. or at least that's my notion for the time being. thoughts?

Message-ID: <002c01c91dd8$179b3980$46d1ac80$@net> Hello Folks, After 20 years (!), the whole story of the astonishing musical journey I took to the village of Italaque in Bolivia in 1986 has been written and is online at my website Sax & Stories. I always say the Italaque festival was one of the most "avant garde" events I ever attended. (Sound clips are being included.) And the journey getting there and back was as much an adventure as the festival itself. You can go directly to the story, the first of four parts that will appear weekly, here: http://henrykuntz.free-jazz.net/category/journey-to-italque/ or access it on the Sax & Stories home page: http://henrykuntz.free-jazz.net/ by clicking on "Journey to Italaque" under "Henry Kuntz New Writings" on the right. While on the home page, you can also listen to the first mp3 of mine that is up, a 6-minute multi-track piece "Gods Within" with tenor saxophone, Balinese gamelan, and Balinese & Thai wood xylophones. Hope you enjoy!

They are trying to fight it, but the thing is, it will probably be the same as when we first started dealing with it - the city officials that handle the cabaret permitting are interested in working with you, but they have to pass the buck to the building and fire departments for safety reasons, who probably have visions of the Station Fire (the Great White show in RI) and aren't going to budge. The big upfront cost for them is the conditional use permit for "group assembly" which, despite being on Telegraph Ave. on a block with at least 2 other bars plus the Stork Club, is not a permitted activity. There are very few areas in Oakland where "group assembly" (everything involving "entertainment" falls into this category) is permitted. That's a $2000 permit. Plus, the process triggers inspections by building and fire departments ...and there are different code requirements, including ADA accessibility, and that place is definitely not up to code ADA-wise.
