Stephen has performed, as a spontaneous improviser, with many prominent American and European improvisers on tours and festivals throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan.

At present, Stephen resides in San Francisco spending his time writing, teaching, and boxing. Jim Ryan's involvement with jazz started while listening to late night radio as a kid but didnt begin to flower until he was in his thirtys, living in Paris, France, as a writer. At that time free jazzbecame the rage and Jim played flute and sax over a year in Steve Lacys weekly free jazzjams, and he formed his first band, The Free Music Formation.

He has honed his style to a sharp precision and will present his trio performing sound from their new CD FE3. Robert Jones learned to play the double bass from Winston Budrow at Michigan State University. He received his BA in contrabass performance and worked as an extra in several Midwest symphonic groups before moving to Portland, Oregon where he works with many improvisational ensembles including The Evolutionary Jass Band, Thee Oregon Artificial Limb Co. and Eternal Tapestry. Andrew Wilshusen started drumming at ten but it got serious when he heard a Max Roach recording. He then listened intensely to late 40?s & 60?s jazz. He practiced the drums obsessively while obtaining his BA. He played in rock bands but was captured by avant-garde jazz and contemporary classical music. In 2000 he moved from the Midwest and immersed himself in the free jazz & improv music scenes of the San Francisco bay area. In 2005 he relocated to Portland expanding his work to accompany dancers and to cull new sounds from drums and found objects. Dave Sewelson baritone-sax I was born in Oakland, California, in 1952.

Please get in touch if you can help (jacob @ ettrick.org). http://ettrick.org http://myspace.com/ettrick San Francisco's Ettrick is a self-destructive free jazz/black metal assault featuring two multi-instrumentalists rotating through every permutation of their drum and sax duo. In their brutal free improvisations, Jacob Felix Heule and Jay Korber explore the extreme sounds that can be wrenched from their instruments through brute force ? screaming through saxophones, throwing drums and other such impolite extended techniques. The doubled instrumentation provides a situation to explore playing contrasting and complimentary styles on like instruments. Weasel Walter (Flying Luttenbachers, XBXRX), Moe! Staiano (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Moe!kestra!) and others have joined Ettrick on stage for trios and quartets of drum/sax multi-instrumentalists. Ettrick's harsh noise influence is brought to the forefront in Elf Ass, a collaboration with Tralphaz on electronics. "With all the squawks, rasps, and synapse-smacking harmonics of John Zorn and Albert Ayler, the San Francisco duo Ettrick wields saxophones like some kind of pan-dimensional alarm clocks?or, at the very least, malfunctioning dentist's drills. But like the best free jazz, there's a deep intuition and discipline at work within the band's music... To top it all off, the twosome splices bits of Orthrelm-level metal into the frenetic jazz..." -- The Onion AV Club (Boulder/Denver) "...a bludgeoning amalgam of black metal and skronk sure to summon the apocalypse... an excruciating free jazz that feels like being trapped in a metal shed during a thunderstorm." -- San Francisco Bay Guardian From pamelaz at pamelaz.com Mon Apr 9 01:40:40 2007 From: pamelaz at pamelaz.com (Pamela Z) Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2007 01:40:40 -0700 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Pamela Z premieres New Work at RML 04/14/07 Message-ID: NEXMAP presents Pamela Z: Sonic Gestures (Premiere) Saturday, April 14. 2007, 10pm Performance (Plus: Special 7pm Performance and Discussion) Recombinant Media Labs 763 Brannan St., San Francisco, CA 94103 http://recombinantmedia.net Tickets: http://www.nexmap.org/ for more information contact: Linda Bouchard 415.871.9992 info at nexmap.org http://www.nexmap.org On Saturday, April 14, 2007, Pamela Z presents "Sonic Gestures", a brand new multi-channel video, audio, and performance work commissioned by NexMap and site specific to RML's immersive performance facility.

But from a simple beginning she builds up layer upon layer of sound until she's created a bewildering, mesmorizing, highly organized cacophony that taps deeply into the infosaturated, dataoverloaded, hyperventilated psyches of urban life. The result is both intellectually satisfying and powerful at the gut level." --John Weber, Curator/SFMOMA PAMELA Z is a composer/performer who makes solo works combining a wide range of vocal techniques with electronic processing, sampled sounds, and The BodySynth? gesture controller.

April 11 Message-ID: <20070409203407.97453.qmail@web52507.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Meridian Music: Composers in Performance presents: Roddy Schrock Wednesday, April 11 8:00 PM $10 general; $5 students/seniors (no one turned away for lack of funds) Meridian Gallery 535 Powell Street San Francisco, CA 94108 415.398.7229 www.meridiangallery.org Meridian Music: Composers in Performance is pleased to announce the very first concert in Meridian Gallery?s new location at 535 Powell St. The new three-storey 1911 historic mansion that now houses Meridian and all of its programs increases the performance area to a nearly 50 foot-long resonant space. Roddy Schrock will present a new piece, Here. There. (Distance Study 1). Here. There. (Distance Study 1) is a sound and image navigation of the emotional terrain of physical distance. The sound component is built from aural artifacts of long-distance communication: voicemail snippets sprayed around keyboard clicks, telephone dials, luminous drones of data transfer, whispers to oneself. The image component is built from still video portraits of intimate spaces without the other. These elements combine to create a live performance in which two people reduce distance into an aural and visual spectacle of a serene and meditative nature, a kind of comfort zone for longing. Roddy Schrock (b. 1976) is a composer and sound artist who digitally mines everyday sound for the profound and canvasses the glitzy, rough edges of pop for its articulate immediacy. The thread which runs through all of his work is focus on creation of sonic space in which seemingly oppositional ideas, both musical and cultural, are forced to confront one another, creating gentle friction, unifying spiky ideas in the form of sound sculpture. His work has been presented in Asia, Europe, and North America, in festivals and venues such as the Hammer Museum (LA), Stanford's CCRMA, Kuunstvlai Festival (Amsterdam), STEIM (Amsterdam), Music at the Anthology (NYC), RedCat Theater (LA), Hitotsubashi University (Tokyo), Off Site (Tokyo), Mills College (Oakland), Tokyo Improvisation Festival, ShoboShobo Festival (Tokyo), and Club Metro (Kyoto). He is also an educator, having taught at STEIM, De Anza College (CA), and is currently the Digital Arts Coordinator for the Community School for Music and Arts in Silicon Valley. This concert series celebrates new, traditional, and world music through monthly performances in the intimate setting of Meridian Gallery. Tom Bickley is the curator for this concert series. --------------------------------- Don't pick lemons. See all the new 2007 cars at Yahoo!

This performance will highlight a lesser-known aspect of Golia's work - exploring the quieter, reflective and meditative side along with Karen Stackpole, one of the most transcendental gong players in the country. A rare treat! 8:45 PM Citta di Vitti Phillip Greenlief - alto saxophone Lisa Mezzacappa - contrabass Jason Levis - drums During October and early November 2006, I spent time re-viewing a few of Michelangelo Antonioni's films, namely L'Avventura, L'Eclisse and Il Deserto Rosso - all featuring Monica Vitti. I turned the sound off and composed a total of 38 melodic sketches to the images at hand. Some were highly developed, some were mere fragments. Once I had completed the sketches, I developed them and expanded them for trio. These compositions are both inspired by Antonioni's unique cinematic vision and the natural quality of Vitti's acting and her other-worldly on-screen presence. These are the first compositions for trio that I have written in several years, and I am excited to be working with Lisa and Jason on them. They have brought enormous concentration and enthusiasm to the music. The music spans a range of styles from Italian rock, Italian neo-realist film scores, post-jazz, and new music composition. -Phillip Greenlief 9:30 pm Vinny Golia - Steve Adams duo Woodwind virtuoso and Nine Winds Records founder Vinny Golia has enjoyed a long-standing duo with ROVA Saxophone Quartet member Steve Adams. On this occasion, the duo with work their improvising magic that can travel in any direction at the drop of a hat...or a reed in this case. These are two of the west coasts' finest reed players - seasoned composers and musical thinkers of the highest caliber. Don't miss it.

They met in New York City in 2001 and soon became friends, realizing their common interest in esoteric philosophy, jazz, conspiracy theories, funk, and electronic music. Soon after their meeting, the two musicians began working with computers and analog electronics to augment, inspire, create, and deconstruct their music. Within months both were performing their unique brands of improvised electro-acoustic music throughout New York. Meeting again on the west coast in 2006, the two musicians began working on Beartrap Mind, melding modern improvisation with electronic wizardry. Their influences are vast and on any given day could range from bird calls to Franz Bardon, J.Dilla to W.S. Burroughs, and Bismilan Khan to Hazrat Inayat Khan Yumi Hara Cawkwell studied medicine in Japan and practised as a psychiatrist for eight years before moving to the UK in 1993. In 1999, she graduated in music from City University in London with a first-class honours degree, and has completed her PhD in composition at City University under Rhian Samuel in 2005. She has received a number of awards including a prize in the Continuum Ensemble Improvisation Competition, Sculpted Sound competition and the British Medical Council?s Laboratory of Molecular Biology Fanfare Competition to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the molecular structure of DNA. She has been nominated as a finalist for the British Composer Awards 2006 in solo and duo category. Her music has been performed by, among others, PianoCircus, Ensemble Bash, OKEANOS, Jane Chapman, Kate Ryder, Michael Bonaventure and Trio Japan in concerts and festivals in the UK and Japan. She has led voice improvisation workshops for the Yokohama Boys and Girls Chorus at the ISCM World Music Days in 2001.

But like the best free jazz, there's a deep intuition and discipline at work within the band's music... To top it all off, the twosome splices bits of Orthrelm-level metal into the frenetic jazz.. Experimental/ Progressive/ Grindcore, Clan of the Cave Bear (from the Cleveland area) sound like an electric guitar and a drum set living together in a truck hitting speed bumps occasionally, but not always. Sometimes the truck slows down for the bumps. or it may hit the bumps very hard. From moestaiano1 at yahoo.com Fri Apr 13 22:55:10 2007 From: moestaiano1 at yahoo.com (Moe!

The program is completed by the "Adagietto" from Mahler?s "Symphony No. 5" in an inventive piano transcription by Camillo Togni. http://www.iicsanfrancisco.esteri.it/IIC_SanFrancisco/Menu/Gli_Eventi/Calendario/ Thursday, April 19, 2007 8:00pm Free Admission Mills College Concert Hall 5000 MacArthur Blvd Oakland, CA -------------------------- About Debora Petrina: Debora Petrina is a polymorphic artist. She passes easily through different scenes, from classical piano to jazz singing, from performance to sound experiments, from dance to theatre to reinvention of rock songs. Her masters in Italy and abroad (Academies of Budapest and Ljubljana) bring her soon to develope personal projects in classical, contemporary and avantgarde music: she makes italian premieres of works by John Cage, Morton Feldman, Nino Rota, Eunice Katunda, Leos Jan?cek, Gy?rgy Kurt?g, George Enescu and plays in Milan, Rome, Venice, London, Strasbourg, Tokio, Havana, Ljubliana, Lausanne, Budapest, and for several radio broadcasts. She regularly plays with the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto. She has made recording premieres of Morton Feldman for an independent american label (Early and Unknown Piano Pieces, OgreOgress) and took part in the 'A Call for Silence' CD compiled by the Sonic Arts Network (UK). Also in UK (London, Conway Hall) for the launch of the book Morton Feldman Says, she has choreographed and performed, while playing the piano, the Three Dances by Morton Feldman. As a singer/pianist she is working on projects where she recreates pieces from different repertoires (jazz, rock, pop) aside with her own original pieces. She passes with nonchalance from standards to Nick Drake, from the Who to Tori Amos. She has premiered in La Habana, Cuba, a programme of her own arrangements and recompositions of the music of the Radiohead (Don't Forget: Amnesiac), a concert organized by The National Institute of Music, who had invited her also for a first performance of Debora's own reworking of the piano Contrandanzas by Cuban XIX century composer Manuel Saumell . Canzoni come nuove is another project about traditional Italian songs, totally recomposed, which Debora performs in many italian festivals together with singer Patrizia Laquidara. She also writes arrangements for other singers. Debora is active also as a dancer, and collaborates with two electronic composers and sound artists, Nicola Buso and Emir Bijukic. She currently dances with the 'Jennifer Rosa' Company, directed by Chiara Bortoli, which has been invited in the OperaEstateFestival 2006. She writes and stages solo and group performances in different locations (theaters, clubs, gardens and villas); her latest works are No toco (a solo piece upon an amplified piano stool), Quatuor pour la fins des murs (a solo performance involving the digital sound processing of a drill) and Terrafrana (a piece about the work in building sites). She works as a dancer and singer with Sara Wiktorowicz, choreographer and former dancer of the Galili Dance Company, in several projects and residencies: in Italy for the OperaEstate Festival (2005), in Holland at the Grand Theatre of Groningen (2006) and at the Oerol Festival (2007).

Graphic scores, a cross between traditional music notation and visual art, have been a focus of Rova's activities in recent years, and this concert will expand them into new dimensions. Simultaneous projections of these beautiful and complex scores will offer a fascinating look into the creative process and enhance an exciting night of musical invention. These scores offer many provocative opportunities for improvisers and bring fresh new possibilities to the music. Composers Steve Adams and Jon Raskin will also give a pre-concert talk at 7:30 about how these scores work.

He'll throw in his love for wind chimes and Japanese koto music with a unique system of modular note cells.

Bruce Anderson Guitarist Bruce Anderson is a founder of art-rockers MX-80 Sound, who later changed its name to MX-80. He was also a member of that group's offshoots, O-Type and the Gizzards. Anderson co-founded MX-80 Sound in Indiana in the mid-'70s, along with bassist Dale Sophiea and drummer Jeff Armour. Flying the banner of Beefheartean weirdness, the group put out several releases during the remainder of the '70s and into the early '80s. When MX-80 dissolved for a time, Anderson kept busy with O-Type and the Gizzards, ventures in which Sophiea joined him. Sophiea also played a valuable role in Anderson's solo work, producing Anderson's albums of densely layered guitar experimentation and Robert Fripp-like improvisation. Anderson's 1995 full-length album Brutality collected tracks from his two late-'80s cassette releases and also featured some new material.

In their brutal free improvisations, Jacob Felix Heule and Jay Korber explore the extreme sounds that can be wrenched from their instruments through brute force ? screaming through saxophones, throwing drums and other such impolite extended techniques. The doubled instrumentation provides a situation to explore playing contrasting and complimentary styles on like instruments. Weasel Walter (Flying Luttenbachers, XBXRX), Moe! Staiano (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Moe!kestra!) and others have joined Ettrick on stage for trios and quartets of drum/sax multi-instrumentalists. Ettrick's harsh noise influence is brought to the forefront in Elf Ass, a collaboration with Tralphaz on electronics. "With all the squawks, rasps, and synapse-smacking harmonics of John Zorn and Albert Ayler, the San Francisco duo Ettrick wields saxophones like some kind of pan-dimensional alarm clocks?or, at the very least, malfunctioning dentist's drills. But like the best free jazz, there's a deep intuition and discipline at work within the band's music... To top it all off, the twosome splices bits of Orthrelm-level metal into the frenetic jazz..." -- The Onion AV Club (Boulder/Denver) "...a bludgeoning amalgam of black metal and skronk sure to summon the apocalypse... an excruciating free jazz that feels like being trapped in a metal shed during a thunderstorm." -- San Francisco Bay Guardian From matt at sfsound.org Fri Apr 20 15:29:43 2007 From: matt at sfsound.org (matt) Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2007 15:29:43 -0700 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] 2 Concerts this Sunday In-Reply-To: <88EEB8B8-C4B7-4D6F-8E72-2316CE1CFA62@sfsound.org> References: <54B7959C-F64F-430C-A662-3CEBA309B2FF@sfsound.org> <88EEB8B8-C4B7-4D6F-8E72-2316CE1CFA62@sfsound.org> Message-ID: <3471A1BE-76E7-456C-BA17-3DFBE589B268@sfsound.org> Come hear Young-Ferneyhoughs and a Braxton-ish composition with animated notation on individual laptops for each player! ------------------------ <541> Presents Music by Composers from Stanford Student composition collective <541> presents new works by Sebastian Semper, Kristian Ireland, Hans Thomalla, Justin Yang, and Alex Sigman.

At Mills, Edward founded The Music For People & Thingamajigs Concert, the only annual event in The Bay Area devoted to music for made/found instruments and alternate tuning systems -now in its ninth year.Edward was selected for two special programs through The European Dance Development Center -1998 in The Netherlands, and 2000 in Germany. Here he took part in and conducted workshops in instrument building, as well as aspects in composer/choreographer collaborations. Many of his dance-theater collaborations at this time toured throughout Europe and were performed by members of The Barton Workshop. In 2004 Edward was sent to Cyprus on a United States Federal Assistance Award to work together with North and South Cypriot artists in order to help build a bond between the two sides. Currently, Edward lives in Tokyo, Japan and Oakland, California. His works are performed throughout The Bay Area and Tokyo, as well as featured on KZSU's (Stanford) "Day Of Noise Festival". Many of his scores are available through Wolf Music Publications Ltd, and can be found in libraries in New York, Montreal, Amsterdam, and Tokyo. This year, Edward was awarded The NEA/Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission Fellowship to research Japanese musical instruments and tuning systems. Through his new concert series "The Pacific Exchange", he is dedicated to promoting creative interactions with artists working throughout the Pacific Rim. Edward is currently working on the second volume of his book "Just Intonation For Non-Fixed Pitch Instruments". Edward Schocker's music is a unique mixture of alternate tuning systems and unique instruments, combined with theater/opera. He has collaborated with many dancers, artists and writers to create a unique combination of sound, movement, and text. Enjoying international recognition, Edward's music has been performed in numerous countries throughout the world. About Bill Wolter Bill is a composer, multimedia artist, sound engineer and musician, focused on electric guitar. His music hovers around experimental rock, jazz, noise, new music, and all areas in between. A restless collaborator who constantly seeks the most diverse and challenging musical experiences, Bill performs or collaborates frequently throughout the San Francisco Bay Area with a wide range of musicians and artists. He plays guitar in Bay Area bands Slydini, Innerear Brigade, Tribalgenes, and as a hired gun in other ensembles and bands (SF Sound, Moe!kestra, jobbing bands, etc.) In addition, Bill creates audio/visual live performance instruments, working in a mixture of intermedia, performance art, theatre, and installation. He frequently works with Oakland multimedia group Double Vision and has been commissioned to do original scores for local dancer Amy Lewis and Alyssa Lee's group A dance company. Some of his musical sources and inspirations include Frank Zappa, Conlon Nancarrow, John Cage, John Coltrane, and Thelonious Monk, as well as gamelan and Southeast Asian Indian music, but like any probing artist he also draws creatively from other subjects, such as technological oppression, situationist theory, and the physiological constructions of sound. Born in Chicago, Illinois in 1973, Bill caught the metal bug in junior high school and spent his early years as a headbanger with Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti. He received his first guitar in 7th grade, which led to the creation of his first band, Jaundice. He later started playing jazz in high school, becoming a dedicated musician after watching a vintage b&w video of John Coltrane Quartet's "Impressions". After starting his second band with veteran Chicago rhythm and blues drummer Wayne Welch, Bill went to the University of New Mexico in pursuit of a B.A. in music and philosophy, under the musical tutelage of Richard Hermann, Steve Block, and Chris Shultis. In 2000, Bill moved to Oakland, California to study composition with Fred Frith, Pauline Oliveros, and Alvin Curran at Mills College, where he received his M.A. in composition. Bill currently finds himself at the crossroads of music and technology. He has worked for almost five years as the music lab coordinator at Diablo Valley College, and also serves as part-time faculty in the music department teaching digital audio. Bill also has a solid background in professional audio production and education. Most recently, Bill has been teaching and supporting sound arts at Expression College for Digital Arts in Emeryville. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

That is, we perform improvised electronic music as musicians, NOT looking like we check our email on stage. Our main rule is: if we take our hands away, the instruments go quiet. We use no fancy sensors or esoteric gestural controllers, but very basic stuff that we know well how to play. But we develop new ways of playing them, and -- most important -- new ways of mapping them to sound, using carefully designed sound engines that allows fingertip control, while retaining a vast sonic potential. Every sound relates to and comes directly from a physical gesture by the player, which makes a huge difference for the audience. There are no ongoing pre-programmed processes, and all is free improvisation, mostly non-beat based. If there is a beat, it is played by us. The main question is: How can we explore and control complex electronic sound spaces in improvisation, retaining the millisecond interaction that is taken for granted in acoustic improvisation, but has somehow got lost in electronic music?"

Filmmaker Tim Perkis, himself a well-respected player in the Bay Area experimental music scene, followed his subjects for a year, filming them in their homes and studios, rehearsals and performances. What emerges is a set of funny and lively portraits of some very creative and quirky people -- and a portrait of a way of life outside the commercial musical mainstream of America. They're not making a living at it -- but these artists have pursued their work passionately and in the process have created a world-wide following and a supportive community at home. These are people, who, as composer John Shiurba put it, "aren't going somewhere, but who ARE somewhere."

Deathray is the duo of Bruce Anderson and Dale Sophiea, members of O-Type and MX-80. Anderson and Sophiea have been musical partners for over 25 years: after meeting at Indiana University in 1968 where they attended art and music school, respectively. In 1974, MX-80 Sound was born and quickly alienated all but the most sophisticated or brain-dead of their followers. In the wake of MX-80?s debut ep, ?Big Hits?, Island Records released their first album, ?Hard Attack?, world-wide. Since Indiana didn?t seem the appropriate place to base a fruitful musical career, the boys moved to California and were promptly dropped by Island. Two well-received albums and assorted smaller stuff on The Resident?s Ralph Records somehow failed to integrate MX-80 into any musical community. Maleficia is the work of Bay Area noise artist Andy Way (French Radio, NF Orchest) and avant-vocalist Ilysea Simpson. Evocative wordless vocalizations meet torrents of tactile noise, all bathed in reverb, which somewhat mutes the sharpness of the distortion, static, and turbulent noise.

He created a revolutionary software platform destined to form the basis of all contemporary digital musical systems (Music 1--Music 5). His audacious ideas were driven by the belief that "any sound that the human ear can hear can be produced by a computer". Mathews's mastery of this new instrument revealed new musical horizons and sparked a burgeoning curiosity into the very nature of sound. His comprehension and elaboration made five decades of art and research possible, laying the groundwork for generations of electronic musicians to synthesize, record, and play music. Today at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) as a Professor Emeritus he continues not only to educate students and colleagues, but also to guide and inspire with his constant inventiveness and pure musical pleasure. Join us in honoring Max for two evenings of sound, celebration and discovery of his ideas, works, music, and writings.
