He managed to turn the bass into the polar opposite of what we expect to hear from this instrument, working toward electronic-sounding textures, sustained sounds, and dense high-end explorations. And he did it all with a great sense of humor and lightness, never veering into the macho or blustery. I miss the guy.

It's not about self-expression, much less so even than Stockhausen at his most formal, but about methodical investigations of sound-parameters, linking pitch & tambre development, random number generation & stochastics for complexity. Structural alternatives to sidestep serialism that skip the twelve notes to jump directly to work with sound, but still in a very locked in and formal way. Which, fair enough, may be why you don't like them, though for me, from that perspective, Tenney has more playfulness and ideas going on in the sounds. And it's just reassuring that someone was making music this inspired using computers that early in the history of computer music, because these pieces are almost shockingly early.

I love Tenney's writing, having first run across his essay "John Cage and the Theory of Harmony" in the collection "Writings about John Cage" http://www.worldcat.org/isbn/0472103482 I still find his music a tough listen, but turn to it on occasion, usually when I want to see how he handled something that he wrote about. -- Joseph Zitt :: The Path of the Bookseller :: blog.josephzitt.com From magsatellite at yahoo.com Sat Jun 6 13:38:17 2009 From: magsatellite at yahoo.com (J.

In a highly resonant space, the resonant frequencies are going to be louder. The louder things get, the greater the output voltage and vice-versa.

I now feel more compelled to give these works another listen *with headphones* and a stiff drink. In 1994 - I attended a retrospective of James Tenney's works @ Mills - these pieces were stunning! Especially the relationships between the instruments, space and their tunings...all with this bareness. I was so excited by all the other stuff going on in these pieces (which deepened my experience). After that show...I was majorly *pumped* to find the Artifact recording of his electronic works....and that's when the disappointment began. And for me, blue suede shoes seriously pissed me off because I didn't like the composition (and I am a fan of Elvis's piece) and I couldn't get pass that to listen deeper. Though after reading Jon and Joseph's emails I realize that I just need to tune into his electronic works a little differently (as I did the acoustic pieces)...I know there is depth. Also I'm interesting in reading some of his writings... I'll check some of them out - thanks you guys for putting it out there.

Sincerely, Terry Born in Brooklyn, New York, guitarist Terrence McManus grew up in New Jersey and Connecticut. He has performed with Bill Frisell, Tim Berne, Ellery Eskelin, Herb Robertson, Mark Helias, Gerry Hemingway, Anthony Cox, Kermit Driscoll, Lindsey Horner, Gene Bertoncini, Russ Lossing, Marty Ehrlich, Mat Maneri, and Michael Sarin. He has performed at Carnegie Hall, the New York Guitar Festival, Ellis Island, and the inaugural month at John Zorn's The Stone. In 2006, Terrence formed Flattened Planet, a record label dedicated to the promotion of new, creative, and improvised music. Terrence is currently a member of the Gerry Hemingway Quintet, the Kermit Driscoll Group, the Herb Robertson Ensemble, and the Hemingway/ McManus Duo. His own project, The Terrence McManus Ensemble, is unique in that the ensemble is comprised of several small groups with shifting personnel. One variation, the chamber ensemble The Dream of the Ants, with Ellery Eskelin and Gerry Hemingway, recently premiered a new sixty minute, multi-sectional, through-composed work entitled, The Machine. In 2008 Terrence was featured in the book, State of the Axe: Guitar Masters in Photographs and Words, by legendary photographer Ralph Gibson. The book, published by Yale University Press, was produced in conjunction with The Museum of Fine Arts, in Houston, TX, where the book's images were on exhibition.

I put out a couple cassettes in the 90s... Tapes were the cost-effective solutions for small runs before it was possible to burn CDRs on a home computer. What's the appeal to the artist and label for cassette releases now? I'm noticing a trend in recently manufactured boomboxes. Even though some will give you a cassette deck, it rarely works correctly. Other formats: I know a few folks who have been releasing works by "dropcard". It's a plastic business-card size thing that you can sell at shows. The buyer pays for the card, then takes it home and logs the number into a website where they can download your record. It's centered around www.dropcards.com, but some cd manufacturers are now offering it as a service too. It's also possible to sell a cd "by USB" at shows. (Buyer brings a USB, which you plug into your laptop and copy the files.) I'm hoping that USBs may eventually get cheap enough that you could go on tour with a box of 'em.

It's actually more of an experimental electronic music convention than a concert or performance opportunity. All participants must buy tickets and there isn't any compensation for performing. However, I've talked to people who've participated, and they've told me it's totally worth it. (forwarded message below) Matt Call For Participation: electro-music 2009 Posted by: "Greg Waltzer" egwaltzer at comcast.net ? egwaltzer Wed Jun?10,?2009 1:31?pm (PDT) The electro-music festival is the world's premiere event for experimental electronic music. Known as the "Woodstock of electronic music," it features three full days of concerts, seminars, demonstrations, and jam sessions. Electro-music 2009 will be held at the Star Lake Camp in Bloomingdale, New Jersey, October 29 - 31, 2009. Now in it's fifth year, we expect this to be the biggest and best electro-music event ever! The scope of this festival is very broad, covering all aspects of electro-music: experimental electronic music, circuit bending, computer music, electro-jazz, modular synthesis, musique concrete, improvisation, algorithmic composition, multi-media, visual art and much more. The focus will be on participant involvement, sharing, community development, audience education, and great music. You can actively participate in electro-music 2009 by performing music or visuals, giving a seminar, workshop, or demonstration, joining the jam sessions, or by volunteering to help with various tasks. Please visit the web site for instructions on how to participate: http://event.electro-music.com/ The deadline for application is June 30. We regret that we cannot provide compensation for artists, or pay for travel expenses. Artists who want to attend the festival (other than their own performance) will need to purchase tickets. Available ticket packages include food and lodging for one or three days.

It's said that some leave us too soon, and in this case it's definitely true. I wish she had been able to bring her large ensemble to the Bay Area more. Its performance at the Berkeley Store Gallery Annex in Nov. 1998 was one of the highlights of the Beanbender's series (and that's not just the nostalgia talking). Almost 2-1/2 hours of great music. We were hoping to get to see her perform in Austin sometime. . .

Oops. I also take note of shows out-of-towners have booked elsewhere when asked for a gig, and that influences my decision of whether to book them based on how many local shows they're doing and where else they're playing. except for luggage store and SIMMs, it is > fairly rare ro see events entered more than a month or so ahead of > time, even by the bigger and/or more planned-ahead folks. -- If it's a potentially major thing that I think a lot of people would want to know about to possibly book around/attend (like the Skronkathon), then I'll post something months in advance. Otherwise, I wait until a few weeks ahead of time, because I have other things that are more immediately rewarding to do. > > conflicts are inevitable - but i would think everyone would want to > try to avoid as many as possible... -- going back to the scintillating previous discussion about factionalization, there can easily be three shows listed on bayimproviser on a Thursday night that would draw three different audiences with little crossover, even if the other shows weren't going on. > i wonder if it would be good to approach someone like SF Friends of > Chamber Music or sfcv.org > (or similar orgs not rooted in classical music?) > to try to get a "conflict catcher/look ahead" site going -- something > where its really easy to just enter a date and title... -- bay improviser is a great site ... If it were possible (and it could very well be) to just put in date and title and venue, that would probably be the simplest solution than another calendar. sl > From suki at zoka.com Wed Jun 17 19:09:16 2009 From: suki at zoka.com (Suki O'Kane) Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:09:16 -0700 Subject: [NewMusic] Suppose Fest In-Reply-To: References: <507CC2D2-EAAC-4B66-9EAA-068B04373A7E@att.net> <9F20E7AC-4EF9-458C-B1F9-D625EC321D4D@sfsound.org> Message-ID: Yeah, The trick is to know if, after you entered a date and title, a conflict with SIMM or Friends of Chamber Music would actually deter a person from putting on a show. PamelaZ put together a google calendar where presenters post for conflict catching, but I know presenters who have declined to participate, or who have never been invited to post. Question mark, perennial, but I'm not trying to create rancor. I really doubt that Other Minds cares that there's a Corridor scheduled, or that San Francisco Contemporary Music Players is rolling the same weekend as Brutal Sound Effects. The experimental cinema community uses a bare bones script at hi-beam.net, but I tend to use that so I can apologize to Craig Baldwin in advance if I get jammed into a date against Other Cinema. The urge to cultivate cooperation is noble, don't get me wrong, and I will continue trying, but I can see how these tools seem merely another setting for unproductive business as usual. The local habit of convening to play music as it suits the players and their audiences, virally advertised, seems to work in most cases. Every day has too many choices, from my perspective, a good thing, not to be changed. And a couple times each year there is so much great fucking music happening in one night all over town that I simply have to stay home, vaporlocked and watching a VHS copy of Brazil. Sorry in advance, it's the only thing I can do in the face of your collective excellence. Putting the conflict catcher role of the Transbay aside, viral convening is also what makes the **printed** Transbay a rather useless thing, since the deadline of the 10th of any month may come and go before the idea for a most excellent gig even surfaces. Suppose Fest isn't in there, for example. I should put my hopes and fears for the Transbay in another thread, but imho TB really should be a SFist/Bagatellen-style aggregator, with multiple points of view and media rich content. One more digression / rant: After due diligence with conflict catching using less-than-ideal tools for less-than-ideal reasons, my fatigue with the traditional promotion drill (e.g. media sponsorship at ten weeks, editorial cultivation at eight weeks, press releases at six weeks, calendar listings at three weeks, posters at two weeks, radio at one week) has withered to mild contempt. Recognition of the scene, like recognition of everything else, is capricious and fleeting, and unrelated to the quality of the work being recognized. I'm not mad about it. For years now we've seen a shrinking media landscape that simply can't afford to promote the arts with information and critical discourse. It's embarrassing to take to the streets on this one, with the amount of truly objectionable things going on in this world, so I just relegate it to god damn fucking fuckeduppedness, balanced by being honest that being overlooked by local media can act as a disincentive, rebalanced by being happy when someone gets a little or a lot of ink (or tweet), or I learn about something, or somesound, from the very media channels I condemn. crankily, -s At 5:38 PM -0700 6/17/09, Damon Smith wrote: >I have mixed feelings about "conflicts", I have had concerts with >good audiences on nights with a lot going on while hearing the other >gigs did well, too.

BUT more likely would be something the other way around: i don't want to schedule on my John Cage performance at 21grand the same night that OtherMinds is showing some John Cage Documentary at Kabuki Cinema. i think if there was an easy, simple site up somewhere some of these big presenters would use it - they are as concerned as anyone about getting a good turnout. > > The local habit of convening to play music as it suits the players > and their audiences, virally advertised, seems to work in most cases. > Every day has too many choices, from my perspective, a good thing, > not to be changed. i doubt a conflict catcher would reduce the amount, hopefully, it would prevent something like what bob was complaining about this friday -- plus, smoothing things out a bit more makes more change of musicians going to other people's shows!! > Putting the conflict catcher role of the Transbay aside, viral > convening is also what makes the **printed** Transbay a rather > useless thing, since the deadline of the 10th of any month may come although a strong advocate of it when i first got involved, i don't see the printed edition much use anymore -- i'm VERY grateful for the effort you put into it every month, but is it really worth it??? m@ From katttsammon at hotmail.com Wed Jun 17 20:29:24 2009 From: katttsammon at hotmail.com (Kattt Atchley) Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 20:29:24 -0700 Subject: [NewMusic] Suppose Fest In-Reply-To: References: <507CC2D2-EAAC-4B66-9EAA-068B04373A7E@att.net> <9F20E7AC-4EF9-458C-B1F9-D625EC321D4D@sfsound.org> Message-ID: Suki says: > I really doubt that Other Minds cares that there's a Corridor > scheduled, or that San Francisco Contemporary Music Players is > rolling the same weekend as Brutal Sound Effects. * Actually...OM cares - here is my experience: Last year POW Performance Art Festival was scheduled the same weekend as Other Minds. Neither myself or my co-conspirators were aware of the OM festival dates...and our mission so was so different than OM that we didn't even think to look. Though surprisingly our festival was picked up by the press and received some very nice press (this was very surprising! as press is always a gamble). Very soon after the event...I was asked by Charles to be mindful of the dates for planning next year...and he happened to mentioned a festival event calendar (so you don't overlap on festivals) So if you ever get the idea to plan what ends of turning into a festival (before you know it)...remembah there is a bay area festival calendar....anyone have the link to share with others?

Matt D, I see your name on the list as a manager of the calendar, too... right now it's not a public list so I can't share the link, but I don't know what the theory behind that is. Groups represented on the list include Earplay, Kronos, SF Contemporary Music Players, Dresher, sfSound, SF Performances, Mills, Meridian Gallery, etc... you get the idea. Email me if you want to access the calendar; I'll investigate why it's not public already. I'd be glad to hear suggestions of how we can communicate better about our planning dates. As for OM, we definitely care about potential conflicts. I can't speak for other groups but we always want to stay out of the way of other new/experimental music projects, no matter the size. That said, things like the OM Festival have other restrictions that sometimes pin us into specific dates or give us very few choices.

I was just a little astonished to see so many events suddenly appear. It just seemed like a festival all on one night, and it is quite festive. I wish I could go to several of them. When I was picking a date, one consideration was what was already listed on BayImproviser.com. The main conisderation was what date we could all make. Also, the Meridian Gallery usually has a different crowd, people who would not go to the Luggage Store or 21 Grand. When choosing a day for the new Zeum series (maybe), I refused to have it on a Thursday since the Luggage Store is just a couple blocks away. (applause for Bob's imagined virtousness).

I wonder if it would be worth having a *bay area new/experimental organizer resources guide (for the mud puddle)* as a wiki page posted on websites (such as the transbay calendar and places...). Because then organizers could be directed to one area (e.g., have that one area make folks aware of stuff like PZ's global calendar, bigger to grassroots organizer and other organizing tips). I think what's unique about new /experimental arts is that most of us who perform also book shows and above all no matter how big you are it's a mud puddle (locally, nationally and internationally - whether you are funded or not funded) K _________________________________________________________________ Insert movie times and more without leaving Hotmail?. http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/QuickAdd?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutorial_QuickAdd_062009 From letucepry at yahoo.com Thu Jun 18 14:43:36 2009 From: letucepry at yahoo.com (Ron Lettuce) Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:43:36 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [NewMusic] Brumit buys a house, makes cnn.com In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <308131.47291.qm@web54301.mail.re2.yahoo.com> SEE....ARTISTS DREAM!!!

So, yes. There is a cloud calendar on Google Calendars called "Bay Area New Music Planning Calendar." I created it about a year and a half ago or something because Charles was sending around an email copied to a long list of local new music presenters and curators, and people were adding their events and then replying-to-all and it was fragmenting and escalating into a bit of a mess. I suggested to the group in the cc list, "why don't we make and online calendar for this purpose?" I didn't suggest using the Bay Improvisor calendar or any of the other existing ones, because the purpose of this one was not to publicize events to audience but to share planned dates with other organizers (as a conflict-catcher or coordination helper of sorts.) I shared it with all the names in Charles' cc list, plus I tried to think of other people off the top of my head like Matt, Suki, Rent etc. I didn't really think it through too thoroughly? thus the questions about making it public, making the entire new music community aware of it etc didn't get addressed. Anyhow, a lot of people started adding their upcoming seasons to the calendar as they planned them. There currently are dates on this calendar going into 2010 at this point. I really like knowing when new music festivals and series are happening next, so it's been really helpful to me. (A lot of you are actually in the list of of people the calendar was shared with, by the way. You would have gotten emails back when I did it. I even remember a few people replying back to me: "Why not just use BayImprovisor?"....) So, today, seeing this thread, I've changed the settings to public. I'm not completely clear on how that works. (I don't know if everyone can post to it now, or just read it.) But this can be further explored. I can't test it because I'm already logged into it, but perhaps you can go to http://www.google.com/calendar and search on "Bay Area New Music Planning Calendar" there. Perhaps if someone is interested, they can contact me and we can work on it together a little more. ma++ even suggested changing it to a website that someone administers and everyone else just sends that person the dates, but that seems like a lot of work for someone. Anyhow, that's the scoop on the Google cal.

This seems to happen if the message is posted with charset=utf-8. Normally, this should not cause a problem (UTF-8 is one of the standard encodings for email), but it doesn't seem to play nicely with the mills.edu mail server (and/or the list's Mailman configuration). It appears to be an issue with mail sent via yahoo.com (same as with Pamela's messages). Perhaps mingalls or bthrew can take a look at this on the server. . .

Most of time I would prefer a recording and any number of other activities. There are a small number of shows I want to see in a year and whatever else is going on rarely figures in. The best strategy is to work on the music, put quality over friendship (when putting together a concert, as opposed to a dinner party ) and the rest will fall into place.

You rock, John Lee! Now all we need is for either a "submit to calendar" functionality (which may or may not be possible with google calendars), or for someone to volunteer to be the gatekeeper, so their email can be turned to a 'mail to' link under the calendar. Looking at tonight's shows, I like this line: "Leimgruber is the most important Swiss improviser on the scene". We should think about using this word more often - important. Don't abuse it though. Only use it if the people performing in your show are truly important.

Right, but that can't be changed in Yahoo! Mail, etc. (Besides, of course, that really shouldn't be required of list subscribers.)

There are some I needed to leave on the site since they are being shown in some other sites I'm hosting. Eventually I'll get them separated out. I didn't actually delete anyone, just marked them as "inactive" so they could be reactivated later if needed. Also left some in that I feel have historical significance to the scene like Splatter Trio even though they aren't currently active - I removed Venue 9 and Recombinant - for News, I encourage people to send me input for this. It's underused as Matt noted. I'm not totally sure what constitutes "news". I've sort of randomly listed out of town musicians who show up and play a bunch of shows, but certain other things might qualify. So if you have something you think is News then send it to me and there's an excellent chance I'll post it, or if not then explain why I think it doesn't belong there. I also get rid of the really old ones. - for Views, I added the date the article was posted. Anyone can send me things they want to post here and I'll probably post it as long as it has relevance to the musicians, venues, etc listed on the site. - for CDs, in general I don't know the dates they were released, even though there's a database column for it. Since 95% of them are null at this time, it's probably not useful to list the column. I haven't actively maintained this area of the site. My original hope when I setup the site is that I'd get the labels (many of which are based here and run by the musicians) to maintain their CDs. But then as time went on, many people where releasing their own stuff on an ad-hoc basis as opposed to having formal labels like Rastascan with a large catalog. Maybe what I'll do is create a "Submit CD" page like I have "Submit Event" and let people enter their stuff, and I'll approve it. The approval is needed to avoid spam, and also duplicate listings. - favorite disks: I'd like to see more postings here also. There are a number of upgrades to the site that would be nice to have, but unfortunately my time is limited. At least it's very solid for listing the musicians and events so that part of it is in good shape.

However, along the lines of battening down the hatches, etc. on the domestic front, I currently have about 20 or so organic heirloom tomato plants (martian giants and marvel stripes to be specific) in peat pots that I'm probably not going to get around to transplanting before I split - which, for them, would probably equal instant death as they asphyxiate on their own roots owing to 2 weeks of reduced watering and neglect. Not wanting my green thumb to go sour in the name of experimental music, not to mention theoretically destroying the potential for the hundreds of pounds of food that these plants would potentially yield, I'm wondering - uhm, anyone want a tomato plant? A couple? An oodle or two? Drop me a holler and let me know. Also, along the lines of the transient goodwill and hospitality of our scene, if anyone want's to toss me a couple discs to disseminate to curious ears while I'm on the highway, feel free to drop another respective holler to arrange some sort of exchange.

It is pretty redundant since everyone that is interview is describing the same 10 year period and it is interesting that there isn't that much variation on how they are described. It certainly filled some of the history for me. Finding out that Barney Childs was having his work performed in the series was something I didn't know about. Pauline's early work was also new to me and finding out how she learned to work with electronics was fascinating. The connection of Steve Reich to the SF Mime Troupe was also new to me and it would be interesting to hear the music of those productions. I would put it on my recommended reading list. " reading david's 'san francisco tape music center' book was astonishing because the descriptions of those 60's happenings seemed so familiar to this region. for every time I thought wow, wish I could have been there for that Oliveros / Tudor improv or city-wide arts installation or 12 hour long tape music fest or whatever, I thought of five shows I've been to in the last 15 years that were in the same spirit or breaking further ground " > > > Save on Cell Phones.

There's a feature that I've been using for the past year or so that I really like. There's a preference that users can set that allows you to get a Google Alert specifically from the calendar. I receive an email listing the day's agenda every day where there is at least one event on the calendar. Even though my email box is already rife with unwanted messages and spam, I actually really like getting this one piece of mail because it acts as a quick reminder to me that there's something going on in the New Music community that night. I am one of the subscribers to this list who has always been an enthusiast for the entire spectrum of Bay Area New Music from small venue improv nights to larger more "establishment" chamber and symphonic contemporary music events and everything in between (or everything out and tangental) so I really appreciate having a way to keep on top of all of those sometimes disparate things. Because of these reminders, I've actually caught some things that I might have forgotten to see. And, happily, now that more people are posting to it, I'm seeing more types of events in the reminder emails.... On a side note, I have no emails from this list (Bay Area New Music Discussion Group) for the 22nd or the 23rd which strikes me as odd. I also noticed a reply to something for which I never saw the original post. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this...

Or I may have gotten it from this list originally. But it's still funny, especially when I think of our scenester conductors, so... Njoy. P. These are remarks made by Eugene Ormandy, while he was the maestro of the Philadelphia Orchestra. His musicians enjoyed his use of the English language so much that they began writing down his comments. "Congratulations to each and every one of you for the concert last night in New York, and vice versa." "Who is sitting in that empty chair?" "I'm conducting slowly because I don't know the tempo." "I conduct faster so you can see my beat." "I cannot give it to you, so watch me." "I was trying to help you, so I was beating wrong." "I can conduct better than I count." "I guess you thought I was conducting, but I wasn't." "I purposely didn't do anything, and you were all behind." "Why do you always insist on playing while I'm trying to conduct?" "Even when you are not playing, you are holding me back." "Don't ever follow me, because I am difficult." "It is not as difficult as I thought it was, but it is harder than it is." "The notes are right, but if I listened, they would be wrong. " "I wrote it the right way, so it was copied the wrong way right. I mean the right way wrong." "At every concert I've sensed a certain insecurity about the tempo. It's clearly marked 80... uh, 69." "It is not together, but the ensemble is perfect." "Watch me closely. Only one can spoil it." "Somebody came too sooner." "Start beforty-two." "Start three bars before something." "Start at B. No. Yes. No. Yes. No." "Did you play? It sounded very good." "Intonation is important, especially when it is cold." "Beauty is less important than quality." "If you don't have it in your part, leave it out, because there is enough missing already." "Percussion a little louder." ("We don't have anything.") "That's right, play it louder." "More basses, because you are so far away." "I need one more bass less." "There are no woodwinds at number six." (The woodwinds say they are at number 15.) "I know. That is why." (To the tubist) "Long note? Yes. Make it seem short." "Brass, stay down all summer." "Don't play louder, just give more." "Accelerando means in tempo. Don't rush." "I don't want to repeat this a hundred times. When you see crescendo, it means p." "The tempo remains pp." "It's difficult to remember when you haven't played it before." "We can't hear the balance yet, because the soloist is still on the airplane." "Please follow me, because I have to follow him, and he isn't here." "Without him here, it is impossible to know how fast he will play it, approximately." "With us tonight is William Warfield, who is with us tonight." "He is a wonderful man, and so is his wife." "Bizet was a very young man when he composed this symphony, so play it soft." "Mahler wrote it as the third movement of his Fourth Symphony. I mean the fourth movement of his First Symphony. We play it third. The trumpet solo will be played by our solo trumpet player. It's named 'Blumine,' which has something to do with flowers." "That's the way Stravinsky was?-bup, bup, bup. The poor guy's dead now. Play it legato." "Serkin was so sick he almost died for three days." (On David Oistrach's death): "I told him he'd have a heart attack a year ago, but unfortunately he lived a year longer." (On Willy Knappel's death): "Death is a terrible thing. I don't believe in it, myself." "This is a very democratic organization, so let's take a vote. All those who disagree with me raise their hands." "It's all very well to have principles, but when it comes to money, you have to be flexible." "Thank you for your cooperation, and vice versa." "I mean what I meant." "I never say what I mean, but I always manage to say something similar." "Let me explain what I do here. I don't want to confuse you any more than absolutely necessary." "I don't mean to make you nervous, but unfortunately I have to." "Relax. Don't be nervous. My God, it's the Philadelphia Orchestra!" -- ------------------------------------- Outsound New Music Summit 2009 Schedule: http://www.outsound.org/summit/09/schedule_details09.html Tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/61377 ------------------------------------- From bergmark1 at glocalnet.net Fri Jun 26 01:10:34 2009 From: bergmark1 at glocalnet.net (Johannes Bergmark) Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 01:10:34 -0700 Subject: [NewMusic] Exotic Boulders and others in Oakland Saturday Message-ID: <55223F3B-929E-427E-BC23-9B08EEE8A004@glocalnet.net> A concert with Unusual Electronic Gadgets, Strange Amplified Objects, Oneerie, Wonderful, Incredible Music: Saturday June 27th, 8pm all ages $5 donation COMPOSERS DECOMPOSED series Heco's Palace 705 Peralta St. Oakland, CA (Above: Johannes Bergmark, Damian Bisciglia, Mitchell Brown, Joseph Hammer) ?2006 Wild Don Lewis wilddonnn at yahoo.com from EXOTIC BOULDERS: Johannes Bergmark (Stockholm) & Mitchell Brown (Los Angeles) http://www.bergmark.org/exoticboulders.html + nano (Stockholm, sweden) http://bergmark.org/najoteam/music.html + Loachfillet (Oakland) http://wormperil.blogspot.com/ Nano instruments Johannes Bergmark instruments Also featured are: ?
