Looney (Electronics) and Gino Robair (Percussion/Analog Synth). In common are the trio's unusually broad palette of sounds from their respective instruments, quick ears, and iconoclasm. Where they really excel is in their ability to augment or finish each other's phrases, and to find and blend complementary sounds...an absolute delight of careening sounds, drama and good humor. Shudder is the trio of Kyle Bruckmann (oboe, english horn), Lance Grabmiller (laptop/ audiomulch) and Phillip Greenlief (Bb clarinet, tenor saxophone). shudder works with compositions and improvisation to explore and develop a language for acoustic instruments that can exist easily in the realm of electronic music. This group excels at deep listening-informed communication and hasan impressive ear for dynamics and austere details.

Formed in 2002, the quartet features saxophonist Jason Mears, trumpeter Kris Tiner, bassist Ivan Johnson and percussionist Paul Kikuchi. Over the course of five albums and a number of lengthy tours the group has explored new ways to integrate a diverse mix of musical influences within a unique modular system of organizing the flow of notated and improvised elements. Their music has consistently been praised as a substantial and original new contribution to jazz on the left coast. Critic Rex Butters of the Jazz Journalists Association selected Day of the Race, their second CD on LA's legendary Nine Winds label, as one of the top 10 jazz albums of 2005. Their most recent recording is a 2CD live concert released on the pfMENTUM label, of which Signal to Noise magazine claims, "The Empty Cage Quartet finds a new way forward for the modern-day free jazz quartet." www.mtkjquartet.com myspace.com/emptycagequartet 9 pm - Citta di Vitti Phillip Greenlief - alto saxophone Lisa Mezzacappa - contrabass Jason Levis - drums Citta di Vitti plays compositions by Greenlief inspired by the films of Michelangelo Antonioni featuring Monica Vitti.

Comprised of veteran Bay Area musicians who have worked with various contemporary music standouts such as ROVA, Fred Frith, Paulin Oliveros, Joan Jeanreaud and Paul Dresher, the Quintet presents a fresh twist on the classic jazz quintet. Combining stylistic influences from American and European jazz, the avant-garde, and diverse music from around the world with unusual instrumentation including woodwinds, trombone, ?cello, percussion and koto, the Quintet?s approach to acoustic jazz allows for a new freedom of emotional expression. We hope you can join us. Bios: Cooke Quintet?s approach to acoustic postmodern Jazz allows for a freedom of emotional expression. With solid grooves and explosions of energy and sound, CQ?s music reminds one of the music being played by Ken Vandermark and John Zorn?s Masada. The instrumentation is a twist on the classic jazz quintet, woodwinds, trombone, koto, cello and percussion. CQ plays in a cutting edge jazz style making use of modern forms like circle music and experiments with time and rhythm. They use various non-western scales and sounds as central points for launching into improvisations. Their new CD ?an indefinite suspension of the possible? from Black Hat Records (www.blackhatrecords.com) has been getting rave review and airplay all across the world. This adventure in jazz is created by the unique sounds and ideas of the members of the group. The multi-instrumentalist Michael Cooke heads up the group, with his aggressive tenor saxophone style. This two time Emmy and Louis Armstrong Jazz Award winner plays a variety of instruments, you will hear him play soprano, alto & tenor sax, flute, soprano & bass clarinet, bassoon and percussion. Michael started playing jazz in High school where he played for homeless shelters in Atlanta. A cum laude music graduate University of North Texas, Michael has played in Europe, Mexico and all over the United States. Relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area, he has been exploring new styles and has been studying Larry Ochs Radar composition techniques. Denise Berardini of the San Francisco Beacon describes Michael's "talented sax flowing out color and tone with such feeling I haven't heard in quite a while. Michael plays with such dimension and flavor, that it sets his sound apart from the rest." Uncompromising, fiery, complex, passionate, and cathartic is how the All Music Guide labeled Michael's playing on "Searching" by Cooke Quartet, "Statements" by Michael Cooke and ?The Is? by CKW Trio. A world-class trombonist Jen Baker's creative identity has no boundaries. She has spread her talents out over many genres of music, including classical symphonic, Renaissance, alternative/hard rock, free jazz/ free improvisation, Gregorian chant, and new music. She is involved in expanding the traditional repertoire and usage of the trombone with particular regard to theatrical solos. She received degrees in music performance from Interlochen Arts Academy, Oberlin Conservatory, and Mills College. The San Francisco Classical Voice says that Jens concerts are "...performed with brilliant mastery and virtuosity." "Shoko Hikage, koto player extraordinaire will take you through the universe and beyond on her strings of sound. From Cherry Blossoms to John Cage, Shoko's performances will make you hear things you never even dream before." ---Lynda Hess, Artbeat. Shoko studied the koto with Chizuga Kimura, 2nd IEMOTO Seiga Adachi, 3rd IEMOTO Seiga Adachi of the Ikuta-ryu Sokyoku Seigen Kai. She graduated from Takasaki College with a major in koto music, and was immediately accepted as a special research student in Sawai Koto School where she subsequently received her masters certificate. Shoko moved to Honolulu to teach at the Sawai Koto Kai Hawaii. There, she held her first American solo recital at the Honolulu Academy of Arts Theater as part of the New Music Across America series. Shoko now lives in San Francisco, where she continues her pursuits in improvisational music and expanding the possibilities of the koto. For over 15 years cellist Alex Kelly has been performing and recording a wide variety of Classical, non-Classical, and World Music styles. He has several graduate degrees in music, including a D.M.A. in cello performance, and was a member of the Wichita and Eugene Symphonies, the New Pickle Circus, and the Hundredth Monkey Ensemble. Alex?s versatility is demonstrated in a variety of styles, which range Renaissance to Romantic, from avant-garde to rock. Alex frequently performs with Baroque cello, and with electric cello (enhanced with loop pedals and laptops). He is a classical musician as well as improviser and a jazz and rock musician. Alex has premiered over one hundred solo and chamber works. His other interests include conducting, electronic music, and ethnomusicology. Currently, he can be heard in performance with Joan Jeanreaud (former cellist of the Kronos Quartet), the Dresher Ensemble and the CKW Trio. Timothy Orr, while at Wesleyan University, studied drums with Edward Blackwell who pointed Tim in the direction of acoustic avant-garde music. Incorporating influences from all eras of jazz, rock and improvised music, Tim's sound balances time and tempo playing mixed with the explosive energy from the bop and free jazz eras, the sonic organization of contemporary classical music and the creative blurring freedom of spontaneous composition. Tim has played in a number of zydeco bands on both coasts, and in 2006 contributed to the soundtrack for Nasri Zacharia's film, "The Tale of the Three Mohammeds". Tim has also cultivated a career in the music industry and has held positions at Virgin, TVT, Arkadia Records, Jazz In Flight, the Brubeck Institute, and the Monterey Jazz Festival. He is a journalist for both DRUM! and Traps Magazine, and is the driving force behind CQ.

James Fei characterises himself as a composer/ performer and, like Braxton, to whom he confesses a debt, his music, though composed, is extremely closely bound up with his performing techniques and his own "voice." Fei is an autodidact, it would seem, with an approach that is rather personal. For example, his use of circular breathing to produce "isolated sounds in a continuum rather than un-broken melodies" represents an extremely unusual application of a standard technique. Fei also works with electronics and sound installation; he is currently on faculty at Mills College. Mssrs. Walter and Smith have developed a rapport through regularly performing together in improvised groupings, both intricate and subdued, and aggressive and noisy. They share an appreciation for solid technique and musical honesty, perhaps deriving from youthful backgrounds in punk rock. For the second set, John Ingle has assembled a group of local improvisers, including: Liz Allbee (trumpet), Kyle Bruckmann (oboe), Tim Perkis (electronics), Matt Ingalls (clarinet), and Andrew Strain (trombone). John Ingle's solo saxophone music emphasizes multiphonics and subtle control of extended saxophone techniques. He has developed a style of harmonic singing that he uses through the saxophone. This wide timbral palate has led to many collaborations with electronic musicians, including David Behrman, John Bischoff, Chris Brown, and Laetitia Sonami. He also performs with the new music group, SF Sound, along with Ingalls and Bruckmann. John was a y2k artist-in-residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts, where he produced "heremusic," a large scale multimedia concert with kinetic sculptor Mike Meyers, the film collective "silt," and an ensemble of musicians performing his new site-specific compositions.

He is touring perpetually, the previous year in Europe, currently in the U.S. He began his musical training as a young child rigorously studying the keyboard repertoire from the renaissance to the 20th century. After graduating with degrees in both piano performance and composition he chose to become homeless for several years, opting to wander and live out of a backpack, rather than pursue a career as a concert pianist with a suit and tie.

Brumit will also preview a new composition at this event. Ensemble members include Lucio Menegon, Wayne Grim, Rent Romus, Lisa Mezzacappa, Suki O?Kane and more. Brumit works creatively with collaboration, social design and structured improvisation. He designs tools, instruments, and scenarios for interaction which often produce unpredictable results - occasionally humorous, often sonorous, and always highly interpretable - typically arising from public situations and obtuse interventions. The first set will be an ensemble featuring Paul Hartsaw (sax) and Jerome Bryerton (percussion), visiting from Chicago, along with local improvisers: Damon Smith (bass), Scott R.

Dual guitars scrabble and inter-twine, alternately screeching atonally and melodically shimmering to build dramatic crescendoes, while Zac's fluttering vocal effects yin to the galvanic yang of his free-jazz-damaged drumming. They recently toured with ?fellow travellers? Hella. The music of the Weasel Walter Quartet hearkens back to that of free jazz legends like Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor, Masayuki Takayanagi and Peter Brotzmann - there is an emphasis on overt speed and violence while never losing sight of articulation and interplay. The group is interested in power, excitement and fury. Death Worth Living is an ever-changing project with a Sun Ra influence, helmed by Sean Robert Ongley (Danava), keyboardist and percussionist.

MILLER played with the Golden Palaminos, Material, Toykillers, extensive work with John Zorn, Elliot Sharp, Fred Frith, .Arto Lindsay, The Ambitious Lovers, and Chris Whitley to name a few. TIM PERKIShas been working in the medium of live electronic and computer sound for many years, performing, exhibiting installation works and recording in North America,Europe and Japan. His work has largely been concerned with exploring the emergence of life-like properties in complex systems of interaction.In addition, he is a well known performer in the world of improvised music, having performed on his electronic improvisation instruments with hundreds of artists and groups, including Chris Brown, John Butcher, Eugene Chadbourne, Fred Frith, Gianni Gebbia, Frank Gratkowski, Luc Houtkamp, Yoshi Ichiraku, Joelle Leandre, Roscoe Mitchell, Gino Robair, ROVA saxophone quartet, Elliott Sharp, Leo Wadada Smith and John Zorn. Ongoing groups he has founded or played in include the League of Automatic Music Composers and the Hub -- pioneering live computer network bands -- and Rotodoti, the Natto Quartet, Fuzzybunny, All Tomorrow's Zombies and Wobbly/Perkis/Antimatter. Originally from Ontario, Canada, composer and trumpeter DARREN JOHNSTON moved to San Francisco, CA in 1997, where he has been living ever since. As a performer, Johnston has performed, and/or recorded with such innovative musicians and composers as guitarist Fred Frith, clarinetist Don Byron, bassist Marcus Shelby, bassist Herbie Lewis, the ROVA Saxophone Quartet, clarinetist Ben Goldberg, and others. He was recently listed last June by Downbeat Magazine as one of ?25 Trumpeters of the Future.? DON HO is an Oakland metal based guitarist that works with the band Bong. Double bass, Improviser. Born Damon Smith on oct. 17th, 1972 in Spokane, WA. Did "freestyle bmx" bicycle riding (a much more dangerous forshadow to "freestyle" music! see http://www.theflatlander.com) from age 13 to 23. Started music in 1991, under the influence of Mike Watt (Firehose & The Minutemen) on fender bass. Lead several punk/art rock combos until 1994. Upon receiving Peter Kowald's landmark lp "Duos;Europa," Damon sold the fender bass and concentrated solely on double bass and free music. Damon's music is rooted in the tradition of "free jazz", with most of his professional experience coming from work with the orchestras and small ensembles of alto saxophonist marco eneidi, however, he is very interested in all the manifestations of free improvised music around the world. His live and recorded efforts focus on continuing and expanding the possibilities of the double bass and "instant composition." His instrumental study focuses on classical technique and etudes, while using jazz as reference for pizzicato tone. Damon performs as a soloist and in every imaginable grouping all the way to large orchestra. He also collects recordings, specifically creative music, jazz and double bass music, and feels this is an important influence on his work ("my roots are in my record player"- evan parker). $10 gen/$8 student/senior/$5 artist/children under 12 free ********************************** THE MUSIC UNION HALL 116 9th Street @ Mission St., 1.5 blocks from Civic Center Street BART, San Francisco.

This is our chance to join in with the performers at Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center as well as our own Kathy Kennedy (from Montreal) and other groups around the world. By doing this via Neighborhood Public Radio we'll be physically (not just psychically) audible in NYC. What I know so far: The performance takes place at 4 pm PT/7 pm ET. I presume it will not last longer than about 30 minutes, but I don't know for sure. I encourage us all to arrive before 4 pm at the Headlands (Project Space, Bldg 944) Yes, this takes place on a weekday (Tuesday 21 August) afternoon [n.b., I take no responsibility for the capitalist work week or the establishment of the present time zones] If you are interested in carpooling to event, please email me ASAP: tbickley at metatronpress.com More info on the performance is here: http://www.deeplistening.org/ site/tuningmeditation2007 The score is here: http://www.deeplistening.org/site/ tuningmeditationscore More info on the venue is here: http://www.headlands.org/article.asp? key=23 Thanks very much!

Modular Set combines it's heavy use of pedals and electronic loops with live drums, guitars, keys, unpredictable seizures of musical insight and other leaps of raw human expression. Acting much like a metal detector, the band will circle a beach for days or weeks until they find a pattern or melodic phrase that signals the beginning of their next excavation. Lumper/Splitter is the mind meld of two 'obsessive soundhounds,' Joe Rut and Lucio Menegon. Combining their extensive experimental and improvisational experience, the Oakland, CA based duo create sonic tapestries using effects manipulation, looping, amplified objects, homemade instruments, found sound, and even some honest guitar playing - it's true! We can prove that! Check out the June 2007 Issue of Guitar Player Magazine (pg 37). Yeah, it's only a pic and caption, but at least one of us is playing a guitar.
