9pm OUTHEAD
8pm Barpieces (Christopher Fleeger & Charles Engstrom)

Charles Engstrom is a film-music composer; Christopher
Fleeger a sound designer. Barpieces are audio scores
of twelve computer music inventions, based on ideas
about gathering places as social and sonic resonators
group this material. More specifically, the focus
revolves around computer music performances which
could maintain some revelatory utility in the
hurly-burly of ordinary public listening-- in a
barroom, for instance. The resulting pieces are
formally simple, relatively short in duration, and try
to maintain distinct timbral surfaces. Methods include
the gas laws, lissajous curves, set transformations
and fourier harmonizations of the ambience in
performance spaces. The sonics range from simple
synthetic waveforms, excited glass, wood and metal to
slot machines, washers and other timbral pointers to
the everyday world of the early 21st century.

OUTHEAD, both the terminal chorus in a jazz
composition and the terminal state of mind of its four
members, is a rehearsal band gone mad-crazy. Formed in
response to the less-than-fun gigs of four Bay Area
professionals (read whores), OUTHEAD features the
original compositions and improvisations of Charles
Gurke (Carne Cruda) on baritone saxomophone and
percusson, Alex Weiss (Gallo Pinto Jazz 5tet) on alto
and tenor saxophone and percussion, Rob Woodcock (Plan
A, Silicon Valley Symphony, Linda Draper)) on double
bass and Dillon Westbrook (Gomorran Social Aid and
Pleasure Club) on drums and cymbals. Drawing on
inimitable influences of the Art Ensemble of Chicago,
Ornette Coleman and Last Exit, OUTHEAD keeps the
synapses misfiring and the energy high. Ocassional
covers include hits from the Ethiopique imprint and
Thelonious Monk. Look for them in a rubber room near
you.

Cost : $6-10
