Every Sunday for six weeks, anyone and everyone was invited to record a GOLD RECORD on the spot, with guest Bay Area musicians like SUKI O'KANE, SHELLEY DOTY, LUCIO MENEGON, JASON LEVIS, MICHA PATRI, AURORA JOSEPHSON, SETH LEPORE, WAYNE GRIM and DAN PLONSEY. The open-air, bare-bones studio was equipped with an antique record cutter, a stack of homemade blank plastic records, and a full set-up of instruments. LIVE at LANEY is a 2-CD set featuring recordings by EVERY person who recorded at Gold Record Studio this spring. From droney psychedlic rock meditations, to a cappella soul covers, frenzied guitar shredding, funky drum beats, blues jams, noise rants, and impromptu operettas, the CD features intimate solo songs next to distorted full-band explosions. More than 120 amateur vocalists, audio engineers, record collectors, professional musicians, musical families, audiophiles, local bands and aspiring songwriters from ages 6 to 60 contributed tracks to the record. The result is a fascinating, overwhelming, dazzling sonic portrait of one idiosyncratic little corner of Oakland. Gold Record Studio takes over 21 Grand gallery from June 22- July 22, 2007, where the flea market is re-created in the gallery space with mural-sized photography and a sound installation of flea market field recordings. The exhibition also includes photo documentation from the flea market residency, videos of flea market jams, listening stations featuring CD outtakes and cut records, and Gold Record Studio paraphernalia. 21 Grand Art Gallery and Performance Space is located at 416 25th St between Broadway and Telegraph, Oakland The opening reception/CD release show features live performances by Gold Record Studio Recording Artists.

Mincemeat or Tenspeed, Dave Smolen, Cars Wills Burn, and Chen Santa Maria. (4 acts total) Mincemeat or Tenspeed "imagine a hovercraft.. now imagine that hovercraft blasting through hyperspace at warp 666 and arriving at an interstellar spacecraft dance party!.. this could describe the sound created by Mincemeat or Tenspeed, a one man band from philadelphia. A true mad scientist, he uses every crayola color variety of guitar pedal to summon a dazzling array of actual wandwrought compositions (no guesswork knob noodling or hiding behind laptops here, folks). A live show can inspire a wide spectrum of mental pictures including, but not limited to: doomsday avalanche, baby robot's first steps, kegger-in-a-wind-tunnel and a synchronized swim in the primordial ooze." Cars Will Burn Cars Will Burn! is made of components that exploit the idea that electronic devices are never silent. First, we wire audio components (tape deck, samplers, and mixers) into themselves creating a feedback system, which produces a pure tone. By running this tone through components while adjusting frequency controls and overloading volume meters the pure tone is broken down into a vocabulary of clicks, washes, bursts, and swells. By running aforementioned components through multiple audio samplers, a library of sounds is built up to be drawn upon as a counterpoint against the real-time audio manipulation of the component's feedback chain. A dynamic reactionary visual system accompanies the live audio feedback stream. This visual system is manifested into four sub-systems of visual stimulants, which have the ability to exist as isolated sensations or to overlap into more complex expressions. Dave Smolen Smolen began playing music at age 10 on the trumpet for 2 years, then later switched to drums at 12. He went on to play rock music for 8 years. His interest in live processing of drums began with the use of analogue phaser and ring modulator effects. After continual practice with this minimal setup, he gradually created one that consisted of ring modulators, reverb units, equalized distortion, multi-modulation/oscillation effects, an open circuit board of a digital chorus pedal, and additionally 2 loop pedals. The electronic configuration encapsulates the original acoustic sounds produced by snare drum, firebell/assorted bells and electric sounds including feedback, removed/broken inputs,flipped effect switches and circuit bending; with new pitches, increased or decreased intensity and a newly shaped sound foundation. Each sound is either left live or looped, where they are reset at various tempos and/or enveloped in an overall reprocessed pitch. Chen Santa Maria ========================================================== ARCANUM is a multi-media art ensemble founded in 2005 by composer/performers Ori Barel and Alan Lechusza. Incorporating videographer Gil Omry-Barel and cellist Carolyn Lechusza Aquallo the founding art quartet of ARCANUM became realized. Building upon the multiplicity of histories engaged, ARCANUM has been able to navigate and guide their collective way through active engagement of works which range from improvised to through composed works. Artistic Statement: ARCANUM is devoted to producing multi-media art works which blur the constructed lines of artistic demarcation solidified in a post-modern society.

Teele 9PM, $7-10 Sunday, July 15 7th Annual Transbay Skronkathon & BBQ 12:30 - 11pm, free Descriptive Prose: Thursday, July 12 Sword & Sandals + Weasel Walter Quartet + Larry Ochs Trio 8PM, $7-10 Sword and Sandals (featuring Randy Lee Sutherland on sax and John Dwyer on drums) take a punk approach to free jazz . Less about technical virtuosity, their sensibility is more about shedding rock conventions but retaining its energy and vigor. 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. Tonight?s performance features the regular personnel (John Gruntfest ? sax, Randy Hunt ? bass, Damon Smith ? bass, Weasel Walter ? drums) and special guest, Henry Kaiser. Saxophonist Larry Ochs (ROVA Saxophone Quartet) masterminds this trio with drummer, Scott Amendola, and vocalist, Dohee Lee. Dohee Lee is an impressive vocalist, trained in classical Korean improvisational techniques, and now extending that centuries-old tradition into improvised music as influenced by the developing trends in the West in the past 50 or so years. Soulful. Friday, July 13 inn. aff. (orchext.) Big Band + Allbee/Cheslow/Walter + Rubber O Cement + Tarantism + Bran...Pos 9pm, $7-10 The inn aff (orchext.) Big Band is a concatenation of members of Dadaist noise ensemble, irr. app. (ext.): Matt Waldron, Gregory Scharpen, John Scharpen, and Richard Faulhaber; NF Orchest?s Angela Hsu, Jim Kaiser, and Andy Way, plus fellow travelers, Jesse Burson (Big City Orchestra), Ilysea Simpson, Adrian Bayless, Dean Santomieri, Jim Haynes and perhaps more. Guitarist and women-in-punk-documentarian, Sharon Cheslow performs an improv set with Liz Allbee (trumpet) and Weasel Walter (percussion). Coalescing into a specific burning vision in 1994, Rubber O Cement was put together as a direct idea for a super science future that will happen. Live performances often evoke sentiments such as the following: ?Rubber O Cement then burst onto the stage and mesmerized us all with crazy waves of bass and electronics delivered in somewhat disturbing dada costume amidst Residents-like sets, complete with an elaborate cardboard computer. ? a death blow to rational thought.? Oakland duo, Tarantism, are consistently inventive when it comes to performance, especially in the costume department. Musically, expect dense crackles, blurts, and fuzz from electronics ? conventional and modified. Bran?Pos is a solo electronic music project of San Francisco?s Jake Rodriguez , who never disappoints. Frequently employing sensors and electronics on his face, Bran?Pos emphatically does not appear to be checking his e-mail while playing music. Saturday, July 14 0th + Toychestra + Fuzzy Cousins + Noella M. Teele 9PM, $7-10 Toychestra, the all-woman toy instrument group, arrange and perform symphonic miniatures using an array of children?s toys and noisemaking devicesThese seemingly inconsonant sources are then coaxed and cajoled, thwacked and rattled into original compositions- or, as the case may be, approximations of works from composers from Dvorak to Martin Denny. The resulting highly-disciplined foolery has been showcased at community centers, elementary schools, and rock clubs the world over. Emerging from the dark forests of Oakland, Fuzzy Cousins are a pair of primates that defy taxonomy. Highly evolved, they have names (Jenya Chernoff and Matt Lebofsky), use tools (drums, bass, guitar, keyboards) and are given to a variety of complex vocalizations . Their vast experience from mingling with other nomadic tribes (including Mumble & Peg, Species Being, and most recently Faun Fables in the touring production of The Transit Rider) is revealed in their music: even and odd, smooth and sharp, sweet and shattering. 0th combines elements of noise, drone, and psychadelicious freak-out and features XK (Zeek Sheck) on drums and Amanda Warner (Triangle) on bass. Noella Teele performs on keyboards, electronics, with sometimes eerie vocals. Sunday, July 15 7th Annual Transbay Skronkathon and BBQ 12:30PM, free The 7th annual Transbay Skronkathon BBQ is an all-day marathon music and BBQ extravaganza. Admission is free, but we'll pass the hat for the benefit of the Transbay Creative Music Calendar . We'll have a couple of charcoal grills out in the alleyway for your gustatory pleasure and a double load of the Bay Area's best creative musicians inside for your listening pleasure.

Special guest Bob Marsh will read the DADA poem "Seahorses and Flying Fish" by Hugo Ball with Man Ray's Return to Reason projected. About the Artists David Michalak is celebrating over 35 years of independent filmmaking as well as performing in his bands REEL CHANGE, Ghost in the House and the duo, Doctor Bob. This performance will feature The Spoken Word and other films that borrow their dialogue from phone messages, "How To", Instructional or other spoken word recordings. As Robert Taylor (Tribune) writes: "The Spoken Word" is an ingenious and often hilarious 22 minute satire of one family's addiction to the platitudes of canned advice. Mom is lip-synching ideas from "How To Give A Perfect Dinner Party." Dad is going through the agony of "How To Quit Smoking Without Will Power" while Bobby is in his room buried under punk rock albums, taping a confession from "The Drug Scene and Youth." In 20 years we may look back at "Shirley MacLaine's Inner Workout" with similar amusement." www.eye-fullfilms.com/ Dean Santomieri is a writer, musician and video-maker.

Special guest Bob Marsh will read the DADA poem "Seahorses and Flying Fish" by Hugo Ball with Man Ray's Return to Reason projected. About the Artists David Michalak is celebrating over 35 years of independent filmmaking as well as performing in his bands REEL CHANGE, Ghost in the House and the duo, Doctor Bob. This performance will feature The Spoken Word and other films that borrow their dialogue from phone messages, "How To", Instructional or other spoken word recordings. As Robert Taylor (Tribune) writes: "The Spoken Word" is an ingenious and often hilarious 22 minute satire of one family's addiction to the platitudes of canned advice. Mom is lip-synching ideas from "How To Give A Perfect Dinner Party." Dad is going through the agony of "How To Quit Smoking Without Will Power" while Bobby is in his room buried under punk rock albums, taping a confession from "The Drug Scene and Youth." In 20 years we may look back at "Shirley MacLaine's Inner Workout" with similar amusement." www.eye-fullfilms.com/ Dean Santomieri is a writer, musician and video-maker.

The works uses text by the founder of cubism, George Braque. Circular Dreaming, a new performance group formed by musician/animator Valerie Mih, will have its debut show at the Luggage Store Gallery on July 12, 2007 at 8pm. The evening will feature jazz and experimental compositions by Mih, accompanied by projected animated visuals created by Mih and guest artist Marco Salsiccia. Guitarist Alex Yeung and drummer Andre Custodio (of the cantocore duo Say Bok Gwai) will join keyboardist Mih for this evening of mind-expanding sonic explorations combining jazz, classical and rock influences. Mih began studying classical piano at the age of 6 and jazz piano at age 15. She received a B.A. in American Studies from Stanford University, where she co-founded the Stanford Taiko Group with Ann Ishimaru (founder of Portland Taiko). She subsequently discovered the field of animation, and earned an M.F.A. in Film, Video and Computer Animation from the University of Southern California. Her professional animation and media works have been recognized with awards, distribution contracts and festival screenings, including the Festival of Cinema and Technology's Best Animation Award (for Einstein), Independent Television Service production funding (for PBS interstitials Paper Peace and Harmonize), a CINE Eagle Award (for The Pets Zone), and a Silicon Valley Arts Fellowship (for Voices of Patriots). While working professionally in the animation field, she continued to develop musically and found an ideal music mentor in trumpeter/composer Eddie Gale. She discovered Gale while listening to jazz radio station KCSM on her way to work as an animator at Lucas Learning in the year 2000. On the air, Gale was discussing his open jazz workshops and jam sessions at the Black Dot in Oakland, funded by a California Artist-in-Residence grant. Mih became a regular at his jam sessions for three years, after which Gale asked her to join his working band. As a member of Gale's group, she has performed at the Vision Festival, Sista?s Place, and Zebulon Concert Cafe in New York; the San Jose Jazz Festival; and the Bach Dynamite Society in Half Moon Bay, among other venues. Jazz and free improvisation led naturally to the development of her own compositional voice, which Mih explores with fellow musicians and artists through Circular Dreaming. Bringing together her two artistic loves - music and animation - she crafts a magical sensory journey for the audience.

THU July 26, two screenings at 7:15pm and 9:30pm NOISY PEOPLE at the Red Vic Movie House, 1727 Haight Street, SF. $9. San Francisco Premiere! NOISY PEOPLE finally makes it out of Berkeley! We'll have two screenings at the legendary Red Vic with live music in-between, featuring film subjects Tom Dill, Phillip Greenlief and Gino Robair. We should also have the NOISY PEOPLE T-shirts by that time, too! ==================== In case you haven't yet heard the spiel: NOISY PEOPLE is my feature length video documentary that opens a window into a tightly-knit group of unusual sound artists and musicians from the San Francisco improvisational music community. FEATURING: George Cremaschi, Tom Djll, Greg Goodman, Phillip Greenlief, Cheryl Leonard, Dan Plonsey, Gino Robair, Damon Smith. Also includes dozens of other creative musicians from the improvisational sound community, including Anthony Braxton, Fred Frith and Jack Wright. I followed my 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. AND MOST OF Y'ALL ARE IN IT! I've been very surprised and gratified at the response to NOISY PEOPLE from people wholly unconnected and essentially uninterested in our peculiar brand of music -- people seem to find it inspiring and funny anyway. So I ask that you consider spreading the word about the film to friends and family who may not know or care anything about the music. Its effect may be unpredictable. =================== By the way, the film website has been expanded and, one hopes, improved, and you can now catch several extended clips from the film, as well as the trailer there: at http:// noisypeople.com From mperlmut at hotmail.com Sat Jul 14 21:29:22 2007 From: mperlmut at hotmail.com (Michael Perlmutter) Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 04:29:22 +0000 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Zoyres July 21 with sauerkraut and pickles!!!!

[Splendid]. Favoring a clean, stripped-down sound and a delivery devoid of pretension, the trio plays short, compressed and complex polyrhythmic compositions with an unrelenting speed and unrestrained joy. Numerous critics have praised their music as ?controlled chaos? and indeed, the trio creates a premeditated massacre of sound, volcanic in its power. Splendid called Ahleuchatistas? music a ?vehement force of nature,? ?spiritually overseen by the likes of Robert Fripp, Damon Che and John Zorn.? and ?recalling the restless avant-punk zeal of End Hits-era Fugazi and the pulsingly organic hyperactivity of early King Crimson.? Its music has also been compared with Ruins, Massacre (Laswell/ Frith/ Hayward), Lightening Bolt, Dysrythmia, Don Caballero, Hella, Sonna, and Shellac, and variously defined as math-rock, speed-rock, avant-punk, and avant progressive. Compared with other bands, however, Splendid noted that Ahleuchatistas is unique for ?its sense of musical sophistication, that far surpasses the results when stock-in-trade math rockers try the same tricks.? As another webzine with its pulse on the new proclaimed, ?Ahleuchatistas could be the next big thing.?[indieville.com]. www.ahleuchatistas.com A first time grouping led by mercurial Flying Luttenbachers drummer Weasel Walter featuring theatrical voice artist Aurora Josephson, trumpet/electronics mistress Liz Albee, noted percussion expert William Winant and Jacob Lindsay on most sizes of clarinets. Expect detailed, abstract music created at a nexus where intensity and sensitivity intersect.

Liz Allbee, solo trumpet/electronics Dog House Riley (Phillip Greenlief, saxophone, Lauren Tietz, dancer, texts by Dottie Grossman) duo B. (Jason Levis, drums/percussion + Lisa Mezzacappa, bass) performs a new live video+sound work in collaboration with multimedia composer Jeremy Hunt, as well as a collection of graphic scores by Wadada Leo Smith, Jon Raskin, Aaron Bennett, Phillip Greenlief and others, projected onto a screen for the visual enjoyment of all. Liz Allbee, who has played/recorded with Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor, Porest, Hans Grusel and Le Flange du Mal, is a fierce and focused improviser with an awesome command of sound and texture on the trumpet. Dog House Riley explores the axis where language, movement and sound meet. Phillip Greenlief is a veteran improviser who is moving the sound vocabulary of the saxophone into new directions. Dottie Grossman is a widely published poet whose works glisten with witty brilliance that are often found in short, tightly packaged poems. Laurent Tietz is a seasoned dancer dedicated to contact improvisation - where movement is shaped in the moment as it connects with surfaces of sound and image. -- http://www.lisamezzacappa.com http://www.myspace.com/duobmusic http://www.evandermusic.com http://www.lizallbee.net/ ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

High band width version: http://www.sfcco.org/video/ha-meaggel-hb.asx Low band width version: http://www.sfcco.org/video/ha-meaggel-lb.asx Cooke Quintet is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and draws inspiration from the creative energy of multi-cultural and diverse music from around the world and from inside and outside the American and European jazz and avant-garde traditions. CQ's approach to acoustic jazz allows for a new freedom of emotional expression. Combining solid grooves with bursts of energy and sound, Cooke Quintet's music reminds a listener of the work of contemporaries such as Ken Vandermark, Ken Simon, or Elliot Levin. The instrumentation of CQ, however, presents a fresh twist on the classic jazz quintet - woodwinds, trombone, cello, koto and percussion can be heard interacting here. Additionally, modern forms for improvisation, such as circle music and pan-rhythmic pulse signatures, are center points for spontaneous inventions. Together, these five musicians collaborate in ways that might best and simply be described as "improvised group music." Alex Kelly returns on cello for this new title, and new drummer Timothy Orr stirs up a provocative concoction of rhythmic suggestions and allusions. Two other new members of the group, Shoko Hikage on koto and Jen Baker on trombone, add an indispensable flavor and shading to the proceedings. Multi-instrumentalist Michael Cooke heads up the ensemble as both leader and composer. The members of the Cooke Quintet have worked with various contemporary music standouts such as ROVA, Cecil Taylor, Fred Frith, Ed Blackwell, Marco Eneidi, Damon Smith, Pauline Oliveros, Joan Jeanreaud and Paul Dresher. What sets ?an indefinite suspension of the possible? apart from a number of jazz albums on the market today is the variety of styles and techniques employed to make this music. "Love at Twilight" references Tuvan and Indian music influences, "Ha Me'aggel" uses a blended Klezmer scale, "N 36 7.46' W 121 38.35'" and "Loss" synthesize post-modern efforts in subjectivity. "Harmonic Rebellion" is a high-energy improvisation that combines both multiphonic and harmonic releases. Another high-energy work, "Hard 8," steers closest to traditional jazz, while "Chain of Existence," a multi-section composition, encapsulates the outward-looking feel of the entire CD.

Video installation by Curium, 2:07am, Ben Thompson AUGUST 7: Zoe Keating, Lullatone, RF & Lili De La Mora, Disinterested. DJ: Chris Perrins at POLENG LOUNGE, SF | 9pm-12am | $7ea 1751 Fulton Ave @ Masonic San Francisco, CA 94117 Ph: 415-441-1710 JULY 31 The Balustrade Ensemble The Balustrade Ensemble has been described as an underwater haunted bird sanctuary kaleidoscope, which isn't too far off the mark. Like a soundtack to a Victorian science fiction film, Grant Miller (from industrial ambient Mandible Chatter fame) with the help of Scott Solter has developed an amazing rendition of steam punk ambient with their upcoming album 'Capsules.' This performance includes guest musicians Jean de La Jovenc, aka Giovanni Dal Monte, from Italy, and Walter Funk from Kwisp. Curium Curium presents the North American premiere of Nowever: a video installation of visual environments that accompany the work of E.E.Cummings. Curium pairs the poems of Cummings to individuals who speak with distinctive voices, matching the quality of the piece to the essence of their personalities. The projected video environments bring each poem into clarity and focus, while the delicate music brings the delight and wonder of Cummings? work to life. Nowever has recently been featured on NPR's Echos Nux Vomica. Nux Vomica is Alan and Jenny Herrick (Auricular Records) and Evan Sornstein (Dynamophone Records), an ambient sound art trio formed in 1991. They utilize digital and analog electronics, found sound, and modified machinery to achieve a unique trance-like aural environment. Long-active members in the experimental music community, their work has included involvement in and collaborations with Big City Orchestre, Haters, Freeland, Voice of Eye, Battery, St. John the Baptist, Ultrasound, Sense/Net, and Concerto Infernal. They will be presenting all new material after a four-year hiatus. 2:07am 19 year old Randy Chairs began his project 2:07am from experimentations on how early morning (or late night) effects music composition. He is currently working on compiling his results into a full length album,and will be presenting some selections at Ixmae. He will be accompanying his work with geometric and symmetry oriented slide and video projection. Ben Thompson Ben Thompson is a native of Iowa and lets the future speak through him. His awareness of how music can have a deep impact on people?s lives is apparent in his compositions, from the detailed structures to the free improvisations, and live performances. Whether it is his unique use of the laptop as an instrument or incorporation of every day sounds into one of his compositions, he is always listening for the next thing he can do to push music onwards and upwards. AUG 7 Zoe Keating Avant-cellist Zo? Keating is a one-woman string quartet who creates "sublime minimalist music with a pop sensibility" (SF Weekly). She uses live electronic sampling and repetition to layer the sound of her cello, creating rich, multi-layered compositions. Zo? has been featured on NPR's "Day to Day" and Public Radio International's "Echoes" and her music is used regularly in television commercials, on publictelevision, in documentaries and dance productions. Zo?'s self-released album "One Cello x 16: Natoma" made it to #2 on the iTunes classical and electronica charts. Thriving on live performance and improvisation Zo? performs regularly across North Amercia and Europe, opening for artists like Imogen Heap, Rasputina, Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins), The California Guitar Trio and The Legendary Pink Dots. Lullatone Lullatone makes cute music.They call it pajama pop.Thier latest CD "pajama pop pour vous" is pillow pop music with a bedtime beat, a sleepytime samba. In 2003 they released ?little songs about raindrops? featuring ?a tiny orchestra of toy instruments? to make their idea of how raindrops might sound and their first two albums mainly used sine tones to make small symphonies. Disinterested Tresspassers William Guitarist, Matt Brown crafts shoegaze-ambient like no other. Easy and gorgeous, humble and encouraging. Currently on tour promoting his upcoming Album 'Behind Us' Disinterested grew out of the desire to make ambient music with only a guitar, exploring limits of effects pedals and experimentation in the recording process. Originally intended to be a solo project, Matt found the desire to collaborate hard to resist and has enjoyed working with many people including: his band mates, folks over the internet he's never met (Ma-Chan, Klassen), classical singer Dino Palazzi - and on the new record, renown guitarist Bill Frisell. RF & Lili De La Mora Ryan Francesconi is a multi-instrumentalist, media artist, and programmer. Francesconi blends organic instrumentation (voice, guitars, strings, horns, field recordings) with subtle glitchwork, pop sensibilities, and his own software. He is a co-director of the San Francisco-based label, Odd Shaped Case. They will be playing songs from thier new release ?Eleven Continents? with Lili De La Mora?s breathy voice, wisps of cello, trumpet, flute, and harp (Joanna Newsom) --------------------------------- Choose the right car based on your needs.

Borrowed from Derek Bailey's Company idea, these musicians will confront each other in short duet, trio and quartet improvisations, culminating in a grand finale. These two nights are the West Coast version of this idea, with some of the most interesting improvisors from the vibrant Bay Area improvisation community. ____________________ www.jorritdijkstra.com www.evandermusic.com Damon Smith http://www.balancepointacoustics.com http://myspace.com/smithdamon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

August 26th Itinerant documentarian, Bill Daniel, mounts a show of large-scale black and white photographs juxtaposing two contrasting landscapes: the floating hippie houseboats of Marin County, California, and the wrecked landscapes of New Orleans and St. Bernard Parrish in post-Katrina Louisiana. Just offshore of Sausalito, California, which is some of the most-prized real estate in the world, floats the last remaining squatter boats from the 1970's glory days of the hippie houseboat scene. For Daniel, these boats represent not only the last traces of an amazingly free time in California history, but they are also visual metaphors of a self-reliance and ingenuity in the face of, in this case, mostly voluntary poverty. 2000 miles to the southeast, Daniel surveys another landscape rich with the metaphor of collapse, but here the result is from an entirely different kind of poverty and in an entirely different political environment. The wreckage left behind by Hurricane Katrina is evidence of a dissolute American future that has already arrived. Matt Davignon: After years of working on his unique form of improvisation using tools like turntable, tape collage, effects pedals, field recordings and household objects, Matt Davignon finally found his perfect tool for musical expression - a drum machine. Running it through an array of devices provides a wide range of sounds - delicate wavering pitches, bubbling subharmonic beds and thundering squeals. His improvised music continously evolves from arrhythmic barely-there coherence to primitive repetitive gestures to deep complex drones and sonic imitations of natural environments.

A true sonic alchemist who can seemingly create music events out of almost anything, Dimuzio's listed sound sources on his various CDs include everything from "modified 10 speed bicycle" and "resonating water pipe" to short-wave radios, loops, samplers and even normal instruments such as clarinet and trumpet.
