Evander Music Presents

Fred Frith - Tim Perkis duo
Bush of Ghosts

Join us for a fine concert featuring two sets of improvised music in the
electronic and acoustic mediums.

8 pm
Fred Frith - guitar
Tim Perkis - electronics
9 pm
Bush of Ghosts
Phillip Greenlief - saxophone
Damon Smith - contrabass
Spirit - percussion 
It's a pleasure to announce a fine concert coming up on Sunday with two
groups that should prove to deliver some fine musical fruit. I probably
don't have to do too much of an introduction for Tim Perkis or Fred
Frith - both extremely talented and accomplished musicians that
conceivably need no introduction! - Tim is one of the founding members
of The Hub - the first electronic music group to "link" themselves
through a computer network (and that was over 20 years ago kids!). Fred
Frith has been making incredible music with just about everyone on the
planet since the late 1960's, and probably appears on more recordings
than Ampex recording tape.
On the second half of the concert, I will be playing improvised music in
an acoustic trio with Damon Smith and Spirit - two musicians I have been
working with for years, but more recently we have been getting together
to explore the possibilities of the saxophone-bass-drums trio construct.
We're having a blast playing together and I'm sure our labors will bring
out some great music.
Cheers,
Phillip Greenlief

Curious if Mr.Z sanctioned this performance.  He's rightfully  
concerned how
his works and name are used by people and to what ends.

SAN FRANCISCO, -- Fall in love with new music again (or for the first time) 
as San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra presents "A Springtime Romance" 
at  8pm, Saturday, March 10, at Old First Concerts in San Francisco.  Love 
abounds as local musical artists as SFCCO presents Bay Area and world 
premieres of by:  Katrina Wreede, Alexis Alrich, Chris Carrasco, Loren 
Jones, Lisa Scola Prosek and Erling Wold .

Proram:

Erling Wold                          Baron Ochs
Katrina Wreede                    Children's Garden
Alexis Alrich                          Marimba Concerto
Chris Carrasco                       The Mind Suite
Loren Jones                         Dancing on the Brink of the World
Lisa Scola Prosek                   Wedding Scene from the opera "Belfagor"

featuring: Maria Mikheyenko, Soprano; Eliza O'Malley, Soprano; Gar Wai Lee, 
Alto; Aurelio Viscarra,Tenor; and Micah Epps,Bass Baritone.


The seductions of yore will be evoked in the second installment of "Dancing 
on the Brink of the World" -- Loren Jones' 12-movement evocation of the 
historical and fantasized Cool Gray City of Love.   Then evoke and share 
your favorite childhood dreams as you experience "Childrens' Garden" by 
violist Katrina Wreede.  Dance the night away with Alexis Alrich's essay in 
mallet percussion virtuosity in the second movement of her Marimba Concerto. 
  The Wedding Scene in "Belfagor," by Lisa Scola Prosek, brings delightfully 
arresting melodies and glorious harmonies to a perilous story about a devil 
who gets more than he expects out of marrying a human woman.  Then bust a 
move with Erling Wold's "Baron Ochs" :  an outrageous world of sexual 
innuendo and extravagance, where the music provides all the redeeming social 
value for which anyone could ask.  Perhaps there is nothing left but to 
chronicle the descent and dissent of men and women in "The Mind Suite" from 
Chris Carrasco.  This dynamic group of composer performers has a little 
something for all the varying tastes of San Franciscans-- as the San 
Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra present A Springtime Romance, under 
the dynamic direction of Music Director Mark Alburger and Guest Director 
Alexis Alrich.

Tom Nunn solo CD Release performance of 
"Identity" on Edgetone Records
also sets by 
RTD3
Axallto

Tom Nunn, veteran Bay Area instrument maker and
improviser, presents an evening of solo and trio
improvisations. Tom will play the Crustacean (a space
plate), the Octatonic T-Rodimba, and several of his
Mothics (electroacoustic percussion boards).

RTD3, with Doug Carroll (cello) and Ron Heglin
(trombone, tuba, voice), is thoughtful, introspective,
often quiet, following subtle turns and nuances
through sonic terrains of notable diversity.

Axallto, with Axel Meyer (sampler) and Allan Crossman
(synthesizer), is a circus of wild acoustic
images/realities, overtly political, aggressive,
incomprehensibly complex yet fun and funny.

Cost : $6-10

smoothness to crude energy, building sonic

components. Their recent activities led to the
realization of a splendid recording released on
POTLACH, which received enthusiastic reviews in
Europe as well as North America.

2nd set: Weasel Walter's Cellular Chaos is the quartet of Walter on guitar,
Damon Smith (bass), William Winant (drums) and Mark Miller (drums). Mr.
Walter is best known for his long-term ever evolving band, The Flying
Luttenbachers, which began as an amalgam of free jazz and metal. Both Winant
and Miller have served as percussionist on John Zorn records, albeit during
different periods of the recent MacArthur Genius? musical endeavors.

3rd set: Flaming Horse features Jacob Felix Heule (Ettrick): drums, Alwyn
Quebido (Saint of Killers): guitar and Luttenbachers' alumnus, Tony Dryer on
bass.

1st set: Marana Jocund is a duo described as a "free lunacy/ metal/ jazz
thing" with Rob Pumpelly, another Luttenbachers' alumnus on drums and Wally
Scharold (miRthkon) on guitar.

sfSound Presents:

	Le Quan Ninh, Frederic Blondy, and sfSoundGroup

Sunday, March 11, 2007
8pm ( daylight savings time! )
San Francisco Community Music Center
544 Capp ( btwn 20th and 21st Streets )
$10

Visiting the Bay Area from France, percussionist Le Quan Ninh and
pianist Frederic Blondy perform a set of contemporary improvised
music.  sfSoundGroup opens with a set of improvisational
compositions, including 2 compositions by Wadada Leo Smith.

----

European Avant-garde free improvisers Frederic Blondy and Le Quan
Ninh, both living in France, have worked together for 7 years. They
have developed intimate and wild relationship between piano and
percussion. Extending their own contact with the instruments and then
extending the possibilities of language, sound, and expression, they
work out a sound universe of an extreme richness. Going from the
extreme smoothness to the crude energy, the tension and musical flow,
open out in a true sound development with electronic, spectral and
concrete consonances. Their collaboration led to the realization of
a splendid recording published on Potlach, which received very
enthusiastic reviews in Europe as in North America.

"Percussionist and pianist mesh beautifully here ! Together they
weave a very satisfying pointillistic web that, in its early stages,
brings to mind Boulez's piano sonatas and Structures. As you are
engulfed by this music, you're sure to say (at least seven times)
"How the hell did they do that?" The results range from anxious
burbles and jangles to something that sounds like a softly singing
ensemble of sirens and baby whales. Best of all is the tender,
Feldmanesque final track, with its lingering single tones, ominous
growls and questioning, two-tone bell chords. Gorgeous."
walterhorn - Bagatellen

Special guests Aaron Bennett, Tom Dambly, Matthew Goodheart, Jason
Levis, and Hillary Overberg join sfSoundGroup in an opening set with

brilliance not captured due to technical difficulty, frequent breaks,  
snarky asides, caterwauling, heart-felt melodies created spontaneously

able to sit quietly without interfering in our, you know, process.  
Applause is not permitted. No unwelcome touching.

8pm: 
Charity Chan - Accordion
Suzanne Thorpe - Electronics/Flute
Paul Scriver - Saxophone/Bass Clarinet
9pm: 
Jordan Glenn - drums
Anantha Krishna - tabla

Charity Chan's live performances focus on the
evocation of alternative timbres from the
piano/accordion and the combination of these sounds
with more traditional performance techniques. Her
improvisations are also informed by the immediacy of
physical gesture in live performance. While Charity's
creative work concentrates itself in the area of
contemporary improvisation (extended piano and
amplified accordion), she has also worked and studied
extensively in the classical and contemporary
classical idioms. 

Jordan Glenn (drums/percussion) and Anantha Krishnan
(tabla/mridangam) are two vegetarians who play
instruments that require dead animals. With widely
different backgrounds (Jordan's in classical, jazz,
and punk rock, and Anantha's in South Indian classical
music) they've come together with one goal... To play
the drums! Sometimes mathy, sometimes lyrical, always
entertaining... at least to themselves.

Cost : $6-10

MUSICOLOGIST NED SUBLETTE SPEAKS ON
NEW ORLEANS-CUBAN CONNECTION
"Cuba and Its Music" Author at Mission Cultural Center April 18

SAN FRANCISCO - Author and musicologist Ned Sublette will give a talk
titled "Rock the City with their Congo Dances": New Orleans and the Cuban
Connection," 8:00pm, Wednesday, April 18 at the Mission Cultural Center for
Latino Arts, 2868 Mission Street, near 25th Street, in San Francisco.

NED SUBLETTE is the author of Cuba and Its Music: From the First Drums to
the Mambo (Chicago Review Press, recently reissued in paperback) and the
forthcoming The World That Made New Orleans: From Spanish Silver to Congo
Square (Lawrence Hill Books).  The talk is sponsored by the Mission Cultural
Center for Latino Arts on the occasion of their 30th anniversary.

In his talk, Sublette will address historical and musical connections
between 
New Orleans and Cuba, describing various demographic layers that went into
the making of the unique Afro-Louisianan musical culture.  He notes that the
US embargo of Cuba is also in effect an embargo of the Gulf Coast, as
Havana was formerly New Orleans's #1 trading partner, and that the blackout
of relations between the two cities since President Kennedy imposed the
embargo has clouded the memory of how deeply connected the two cities
formerly were.  

Sublette was a John Simon Guggenheim Fellow in 2005-06.  Prior to that, he
was a Tulane Rockefeller Humanities Fellow at Tulane University in New
Orleans and a Fellow at the Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the
New York Public Library.  Formerly a full-time professional musician, he is
the 
composer and lyricist of Willie Nelson's 2006 hit single, "Cowboys Are
Frequently Secretly."  His most recent CD is Cowboy Rumba (Palm Pictures).

He is co-creator of Afropop Worldwide Hip Deep, heard on Public Radio
International, and in April 2006 filled in for a month as host of Radio
Nation 
with Laura Flanders on Air America Radio.  He was co- founder of Qbadisc,
the record label that pioneered the marketing of contemporary Cuban music in
the United States.

Admission is $15.00 which includes a 7pm reception and the 8pm
presentation.   
For tickets, send a check made out to "MCCLA," indicating number of
tickets requested and mail it to: Michael Nolan, 212 Elsie Street, San
Francisco CA 94110.   Include email address so reservation can be confirmed
upon receipt of check.  For more information, call or write Michael at

exploring the limits<http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/r/w/rws173/webpage/authorship.htm>of
guitar rock with an epic narrative on its mind.

Z Programs: ROOM
a new chambre music series
Royce Gallery, San Francisco

The Robin Cox Emsemble

Royce Gallery, 2901 Mariposa Street (between

On Friday and Saturday, March 23rd and 24th, 
2008, at 8pm Pamela Z Productions presents LA's 
Robin Cox Ensemble in the second event in the new 
Z Programs chamber series, Room. In this rare Bay 
Area appearance, RCE will perform an evening of 
contemporary works, including several by Bay Area 
composers.

This quintet of violin, cello, clarinet, and two 
percussion performs the post-classical music of 
Robin Cox and other contemporary composers. In 
the last seven years this group with a 
one-of-a-kind instrumentation has held over one 
hundred performances, collaborated with many 
prominent choreographers, composers, and video 
artists, and has released two critically 
acclaimed recordings. It is quickly developing a 
reputation throughout the United States for 
innovative and compelling concerts, which speak 
to a wide range of audiences in performances that 
are as intriguing as they are surprising. They 
have commissioned works from a wide range of 
composers, collaborated in numerous multi-media 
events, and shared the stages with musicians and 
composers such as Eve Beglarian, Sarah Cahill, 
and Art Jarvinen.

In addition to three works by ROBIN COX (Faster 
Than That, Drive, and Square Feet) the ensemble 
will be performing a work Outerborough by New 
York violinist/composer TODD REYNOLDS featuring 
video by award-winning filmmaker BILL MORRISON, 
and two works by Bay Area composers- Big Dig by 
RYAN BROWN and Dust by BELINDA REYNOLDS. And 
PAMELA Z will join the ensemble in the 
performance of a third Bay Area work- Six Degrees 
of Non- Sequiturization- a structured 
improvisational piece she created for the 
ensemble in 2006. The Robin Cox Ensemble is: 
Robin Cox (violinist/composer/director), Erik 
Leckrone (percussionist), Eric Mellencamp 
(percussionist), Maggie Parkins (cellist), Marty 
Walker, (clarinetist), and Nic Chaffee (audio 
engineer).

"took the audience to another musical dimension;" 
and Option magazine called him "one of the finest 
new-music clarinetists in the country." 21st 
Century Music magazine wrote of Walker's Cold 
Blue CD Dancing on Water "If people are best 
known by the company they keep, then clarinetist 
Marty Walker is blessed indeed. He keeps 
wonderful company with an excellent series of 
composers. . . . both the playing and the 
recording quality are sparkling."

involved.

Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Three Concerts This Week for Margaret Greenlief
Message-ID: <001b01c76b1e$8eafb820$4001a8c0@PG>

Dear Friends,
I don't quite know how to say this, but here goes:
My mother, Margaret Greenlief, passed away this morning at 6:00 am. I
have been with her a lot over the past few days and I am here to report
that she passed away peacefully. If you've been reading these emails
over the past few months, you'll know she has been ailing with the final
stages of lung cancer. She was an amazing woman - I am so blessed to
have known her.
Since my mom gave me so much love and strength in this life, I am going
to carry on this week with three performances and a live radio
broadcast. It's how she would have wanted it to be, I'm sure. 
Every time I told her that I was walking out the door to play music, she
always said the same thing: "play something nice for me."
That's exactly what I intend on doing this week. I offer this music to
the world as a celebration of her life and spirit. I have never known a
greater supporter and lover of music.
I hope to see you soon,
Phillip

Phillip Greenlief & Jon Raskin's 2 + 2 Series: 2007

Phillip Greenlief & Jon Raskin present a series of concerts where the
saxophonists invite a pair of "like instruments" to join them to explore
new directions in composition and improvisation.

8 pm
Phillip Greenlief & Jon Raskin, saxophones
Aurora Josephson & Dina Emerson, voices

9 pm
Cheryl Leonard, Ann Dentel & Karen Stackpole
Compositions from Leonard's Music for Rocks and Water series,
Stackpole's Cai Lun, a new piece that uses paper as an instrument, and
works from Dentel's 365.

In Cheryl E. Leonard's Music for Rocks and Water three musicians play
amplified water and a spectrum of rocks to evoke gestures and motions
from the natural world. This performance will feature newly composed
works that echo waterfalls, the shifting of tectonic plates, vortices
and whirlpools. The ensemble will play paper for Karen Stackpole's Cai
Lun, a piece based on the dramatic story of the origins of papermaking.
Cai Lun was a Chinese eunuch who invented paper in the year 105 CE for
Emperor He, and later became entangled in court intrigue and murder.
A.L. Dentel's 365 is a collection of works written one a day for a year.
Pieces range from classically notated compositions to text-based
improvisations, solos to large ensembles, serious to silly, and can
involve playing anything from traditional instruments to car keys and
rubber duckies.

Frank Gratkowsi (DE) 
& Charity Chan Duo

Frank Gratkowski has been working as a soloist in
various international formations (Grubenklang
Orchester, Klaus Koenig Orchester, Musikfabrik NRW,
Tony Oxley Celebration Orchestra, Bentje Braam,
BikBentBraam, All Ears, Zeitkratzer, WDR Big band,
etc.). Since 1990 he has been giving solo performances
throughout Europe, Canada and USA. With his first solo
program, he was a 1991 prizewinner in the Musik
Kreativ contest. The release of the solo CD
"Artikulationen" followed the same year and a new one
"Arikulationen II" in 2002.

Since 1992 he has been working in a duo with the
pianist Georg Graewe (CD "VicissEtudes"). The duo is
often extended through the participation of different
additional musicians, such as drummer Paul Lovens (CD
"Quicksand") and bassist John Lindberg (CD "Arrears").

In 1995 he founded the "Frank Gratkowski Trio" with
Dieter Manderscheid (Germany), bass, and Gerry
Hemingway (USA), drums, (CDs "Gestalten" and "The
Flume Factor" ). In 2000 the trio has been extended to
a quartet by Dutch trombonist Wolter Wierbos (CDs
"Kollaps", "Spectral Reflections" and "Facio"). Since
2003 also appearing as a Double Quartet plus Tobi
Delius, Herb Robertson, Wilbert DeJoode and Michael
Vatcher. In 2005 he got the SWR Jazzprize.

In 1999 the duo with the Italian trombonist Sebastiano
Tramontana has been formed and since 2001 Frank
Gratkowski has been performing with a trio including
Wilbert De Jode (NL) on bass and Achim Kaufmann (D) on
piano (CDs "Kwast" and "Unearth").

Frank Gratkowski played on nearly every German and on
numerous international Jazz Festivals including
Vancouver, Toronto, Chicago, New York, Seattle,
Quebec, Les Mans, Muelhuus, Groeningen, Nickelsdorf,
Barcelona, Lithuania, Warsaw, Zagreb, Prague,
Bratislava, Sofia, Bucharest, Odessa and Roma.


Charity Chan lived in Ontario, moved to Montreal, now
heading to the Bay Area, CA. Extended piano
techniques, with an emphasis on gesture and timbre, I
work mostly in contemporary improvisation- hence the
MFA program at Mills College where I will be studying
with Fred Frith and Joelle Leandre. I was first
introduced to the practice of contemporary improv
through Heather Toews at Wilfrid Laurier University,
and got my first taste of playing in an improvisation
ensemble with Jesse Stewart at the University of
Guelph. In Montreal, I had the good fortune to work
with Lori Freedman at McGill University, and out of
that, two ensembles were born, Hhaka (the contemporary
improvisation ensemble at McGill), and Fenaison
(amplified cello, saxophones, extended piano). My
approach to music making focuses primarily on the
immediacy of the performer in live performance
situations and the evocation and combination of
timbres through alternative and traditional
performance techniques.

STEVE LACY & POETS: a lecture by Jason Weiss

Monday, March 26th
7:30 pm
Ensemble Room, Music Building

Admission: FREE

Soprano saxophonist and jazz composer Steve Lacy (1934-2004) wrote some
200 songs since the late 1960s based on poets and other texts. Many of
these were performed and recorded by his regular group, which included
his wife, Irene Aebi, who sang and played violin and cello. His
earliest songs set texts by Buckminster Fuller and Lao Tzu, but he
later drew on Brion Gysin, Samuel Beckett, Robert Creeley, and many
others. Included in this talk will be musical examples from Lacy's
recorded body of work. Jason Weiss is the editor of "Steve Lacy:
Conversations" published by Duke University Press and the author of
"The Lights of Home: A Century of Latin American Writers in Paris."

The Neshama Alma Band on La Rebeli?n de los Antioxidantes mi?rcoles de 21
a 24 horas | 100.5 FM | Barcelona, Spain
http://www.rebelionantioxidantes.com/

The Neshama Alma Band is a San Francisco-based collaboration of composer
Ernesto Diaz-Infante and video-artist Marjorie Sturm. Their latest work,
"The Sun Heals Life," is an experiential performance that provokes private
reflection in a public space around retribution, forgiveness, and war. On
a bajo sexto guitar, Diaz-Infante performs trance, mantra-strumming
inspired by Native American and other rhythms. The minimalist video
accompaniment focuses the mind to the hypnotic soundscape, breeding a
personal and collective visualization to the current dilemmas. This
performance is best absorbed by a ruminative participant who will engage
with the Band of spirits who are being conjured for guidance.

Ava Mendoza - guitar/electronics 
Zachary Watkins - electronics/mythical creatures 
Travis Johns - bass/electronics 
Noah Philips - guitar/electronics 
Aram Shelton - saxophone/electronics

DSS work in both acoustic and electronic mediums.
Their sonic palate is composed of mixer feedback, DIY
and custom hacked circuitry, FM transmitters, and
(amplified) viola. Performances involve a mix of free
improv, graphic score interpretation, and audience
interaction. At the crux of their performance practice
is the use of FM transmitters which serve to tie each
of our instruments together and diffuse the notion of
control amongst the group.

Pink Canoes = loud. improvised. and then quiet. and
still improvised. everyone plays instruments.
sometimes they don't play their instruments and then
play them later on. other times their instruments are
knob-oriented and feed back a lot. we've been told
that in rare cases, these knob-instruments ARE their
instruments... some of them like cartoons. others like
horror movies. one of them has a kitty named godzilla.
most of them play in other bands which are equally as
good. The "the" in their name is optional. 
Cost : $6-10

http://www.edgetonerecords.com/catalog/4051.html

Catalonia is the birthplace of many innovative
artists, among them Joan Mir?, Antoni Gaud?, and
Salvador Dal?. In 1995, and again in 2005, I was able
to make a pilgrimage to Catalonia to see the works of
these great artists in person. Out of these
experiences came an extended suite of music, Sketches
of Catalonia. This CD is the second part of this suite
and is inspired by the life and work of Joan Mir?. A
CD based on Dal? is already available on the Edgetone
label. A CD based on Gaud? will follow.

In the last decade, Bill Noertker has composed over
150 original pieces of music for jazz ensemble. His
compositions point to the continuity between the jazz
tradition and the avant-garde. His use of group
improvisation and his attention to the individual
voices of each of his bandmates call forth the human
element so sorely missing from much of today?s jazz. 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Minsarah (Prism) - in optics, a piece of translucent
glass or crystal used to form a spectrum of light
separated according to colors. Its cross section is
usually triangular. The light becomes separated
because different wavelengths or frequencies are
refracted (bent) by different amounts as they enter
the prism obliquely and again as they leave it.

?????Sunday April 1 (2-4 PM)


POREST
blending a mix of live performance, field recordings/travel documents/hobologues, and acquired musiques from around the world broadcast from within the West Oakland BART line and pointing towards you as THE FOOL.  mark gergis is one of the leading buccaneers of the Sublime Frequencies crew, a member of Neung Phak, Mono Pause, and many other aural-theatrical projects requiring special lenses.  this set is bound to be a trip down memory lane to which you have no map, with roadsigns giving the wrong directions in a strange language.  do not miss this.

?????Thursday April 5 (8-10 PM)


ANTI-EAR
over the past several years, the anti-ear has been slowly collecting a massive (and VERY PRO-EAR in my opinion) collection of synth pieces, modular and other-worldly-wise (including many of PETERB's fine creations)--many many of which do not ever see the light of day, especially now that the man has acquired a very fine compact modular performance synth.  needlesstosay, there is a wall of gadgetry and other hard-to-move items that will star in this broadcast, lovingly coaxed into your anti-ear canal like that tiny lost cricket mistaking echo for companionship.
