To do this he uses prepared guitar, laptop, junk, field recordings, contact mics, feedback and silence. He is currently enrolled at Mills College for an MFA of Electronic Music and working on both performance and installation oriented works and is especially interested in the issues of the perception of space as mediated by sound. Larnie Fox writes: The crank is the mechanical version of a loop. By using hand-cranked instruments, we are able to create rhythmic and repetitive patterns easily. We can alter the sound by altering the crank's speed and direction, and we can also use plucking and scratching. By working in an ensemble, we can create layers of sound.The resulting sounds are surprisingly pleasing. They can range from sparse new-music style "plinking" to melodic loopiness to hardcore noise. I made the first instruments for a performance at the Garden of Memory event, organized by Sarah Cahill. I was working on more mechanized sound sculptures, but became frustrated by the lack of nuance and the presence of motor noise. Once I built the instruments, I needed to recruit people to crank them. I was very lucky to find some exceptional people and perform with them. www.infoflow.com/larnie Cost : $6-10 ***************************************************** Outsound Presents is an emerging non-profit artist run presenting organization.

What has transpired in the wake of this madness is a few dozen razor sharp compositions for trio that traverse post-jazz and Italian film music, allowing the adventurous saxophonist and his cohorts plenty of room for spontaneous interplay. 9pm - Green Mitchell Cory Wright - woodwinds Lisa Mezzacappa - bass Jason Levis - drums Saxophonist/clarinetter Cory Wright has assembled this bay area trio with bassist Lisa Mezzacappa and drummer Jason Levis in order to realize a growing collection of ditties and musings that have come to surface in the last two years. The group is a kinetic, versatile unit that can climb through compositional complexities, swing from the outer limbs of jazz, and plummet into the groundlessness of spontaneous soundspace... and the possibility of hopping on a passing groove is never out of the question. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Friday, May 11 2007 9:00 PM Berkeley Arts 2323 Shattuck Street Berkeley, CA The Jazz House Presents: The Zipper Festival Featuring: Bush of Ghosts 9 PM - Bush of Ghosts Phillip Greenlief - saxophones Damon Smith - bass Spirit - percussion Getting their name from the surreal adventures found in Nigerian writer Amos Tutuola's ground-breaking novel "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts", this improvising trio of acclaimed musicians will take listeners on a similar journey that veers from the quietest Zen meditations to sonic romps of expressive free jazz, and everywhere in between. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sunday, May 13 2007 3:00 PM Berkeley Arts 2323 Shattuck Avenue Berkeley, CA The Jazz House Presents: The Zipper Festival Featuring: The Lost Trio Phillip Greenlief - tenor saxophone Dan Seamans - bass Tom Hassett - drums Continuing in their 14th year, The Lost Trio has matured into a tightly-knit, loose-limbed trio that presents unique readings of their nearly-surreal repertoire.

Inspired by Sun Ra, Charles Ives, and the dadaists, Plonsey?s compositions "arise from the drama of conflict: at least two ideas, one sensible and one absurd, set in motion together or against one another."

By his mid-teens he was sitting in regularly with Eddie Chamblee at Sweet Basil and studying with Phil Woods. From 1984-88 he attended Manhattan School of Music and gigged with Red Rodney, Roy Eldridge, Barney Kessel, Al Grey, Eddie Locke, Mike LeDonne, Mel Lewis, Doc Cheatham and many others. Since that time, he has worked with Maria Schneider, Ron McClure, Clark Terry, Benny Carter, Phil Woods, T.S. Monk, TanaReid, Bill Mays, The Vanguard Orchestra, Bill Charlap, and Ray Barreto. Jon also appears regularly as a member of the Jazz Nativity, whose other featured musicians have included Tito Puente, Ron Carter, Dave Brubeck, Savion Glover, Slide Hampton, and Harold Nicholas. He has six cds as a leader, with sidemen including John Scofield, Kevin Hays, Mark Turner and Peter Washington. His latest is a duo with pianist Bill Charlap, titled "Contrasts". In November of 1996, Jon won the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition. "One of the greatest alto players, ever!" - Phil Woods "Gordon has embraced the history of his instrument, carrying with it the ability to extend music as a universal language." - Wayne Shorter http://jongordonmusic.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hammond B3 organist *Joe Bagg* earned a Masters degree in music from Rutgers University, where he studied with Kenny Barron for two years, and then went on to become an integral part of the Los Angeles jazz scene. Musical partners to date have included: Charles McPherson, Billy Higgins, Arthur Blythe, Bob Dorough, Ernie Watts, Joe LaBarbara, Ralph Moore, Jeff Hamilton, Andy Simpkins, Pete Christlieb, Dave Pike, Terry Gibbs, Jack Sheldon, Roy McCurdy, Bobby Hutcherson, Marvin 'Smitty' Smith, Anthony Wilson, Eric Alexander, and Alphonse Mouzon. Those who caught this band here in 2006 will remember the epic struggle to schlep the 600 pound organ up the stairs, an effort which was richly rewarded by the extraordinary sounds Joe coaxes from his vintage instrument. Husky jazz fans are invited to come early for a pre-concert workout! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Drummer *Mark Ferber* began his musical studies on piano at the age of five. He was later introduced to drumming and percussion. Mark studied classical percussion with Mitchell Peters and drums with Billy Higgins and Joe Labarbera. He has maintained a very busy playing schedule in Europe and on both the west and east coast. A partial list of his playing credits include Lee Konitz, Dave Liebman, Don Byron, Norah Jones, Kenny Werner, Steve Swallow, Fred Hersch, Billy Childs, Bud Shank, Anthony Wilson, Larry Goldings and Diana Krall. Mark can be heard on recent recordings with various artists on Soul Note, Fresh Sound/New Talent, Sunnyside, Omnitone and Steeplechase Records. He is a part time faculty member for the City College of New York and the School of Improvisational Music. Currently, Mark resides in Brooklyn, New York. He has appeared previously at Chez Hanny with the Jonathan Kreisberg Trio and the Dan Pratt Organ Quartet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *The Time*: All concerts begin at 4:00 PM (Please come early to avoid interrupting the performance!) *The Place*: 145 Fillmore (x Waller) in San Francisco 94117.

It'll be on Sunday July 15, winding up four days of festivities celebrating 21 Grand's seventh anniversary and 1000th show. Anyway, unless you're new around here (or you just woke up from that 8-year long coma) you know the drill. We set up a bunch a charcoal grills in the alleyway outside 21 Grand and cook, while the Bay Area's most adventurous musicians play inside. We don't charge admission (so we can't pay anyone) but we spend the setup time between acts begging for donations for the Transbay Creative Music Calendar. So it's a lot like pledge drive week on KPFA, except with better music (and without the possibility of switching stations over to The Bone.) So we're looking for volunteers to perform. If you want to play, please sent me (td at pixar.com): name of group & performers a short description of what you do that we can use for publicity preferred starting times, if any (it's easier for us if you're flexible) Once we've got an idea of who wants to play, we'll make up a schedule and start working on publicity. We also need volunteers to help out with minding the donation jar, running the sound system, assisting people loading in and out, etc. Please let me know if you can help!! -- Tom Duff.

Staiano)/Polly Moller solo set in memory of Leigh Ann Hussey Organ of Qwerty is the laptop-improvisation identity of John Hanes. In his work, a few notes from simple sound sources (like violin or bicycle pump) are molded, reworked, and stretched into immersive and reflective sound spaces. The Flip Quartet is a composition by Polly Moller which will be brought to life at 21 Grand. John Hanes, Suki O'Kane, Karen Stackpole, and Moe! Staiano will explore the four cardinal directions (north/east/south/west) and their medieval elemental correspondences (earth/air/fire/water) with objects, instruments, and text chosen by the improvisers following guidelines in the score. The audience will be seated (or will roam around -- their choice) inside the perimeter of the improvisation, and the performers will circle around them, raising energy and creating elemental harmony in the space. The audience should watch out for the "flip" element in The Flip Quartet - the act of flipping over timers provides duration markers for the improvisation, and the players are encouraged to flip over anything they can during the performance. Polly Moller's solo set will be offered up in honor and memory of Leigh Ann Hussey, a native East Bay musician who was tragically taken from her friends, family and fans a year ago, in a motorcycle accident on Highway 580 near Livermore. The music will not be about grief so much as a celebration of the multifaceted magical world of which she was (and still is) a part.

It featured lavish sets, magnificent costumes, and thrilling special effects, all influenced by the work of the constructivist and cubist art movements. Designed by Alexandra Exter and Isaak Rabinovich, these incredible avant garde designs had a profound influence Fritz Lang's "Metropolis", as did the film's plot. Based on a novel by Alexei Tolstoy, the plot tells of a Soviet expedition to Mars, which ends with a revolt of the oppressed population of the planet against its tyrannical leader, Aelita! Directed by Yakov Protazanov in 1924, "Aelita" remains one of the crowning acheivements of the Soviet film industry, and a genuine silent sci-fi classic. The live soundtrack music performed by the Ahl-i Nafs will be appropriately spacey and constructivist! cost: $7-10 From mgheart at lmi.net Mon May 14 21:23:37 2007 From: mgheart at lmi.net (Matthew Goodheart) Date: Mon, 14 May 2007 21:23:37 -0700 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Zen Widow with George Cremaschi Message-ID: Zen Widow with special guest George Cremaschi Tuesday, May 19 8pm Gianni Gebbia - alto sax Matthew Goodheart - piano George Cremaschi - bass Garth Powell - percussion New Earth Artist's Cafe 2008 Parkway Blvd. - just past the Parkway Theater Oakland $5 From rentromus at yahoo.com Tue May 15 10:32:53 2007 From: rentromus at yahoo.com (Rent Romus) Date: Tue, 15 May 2007 10:32:53 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [NewMusicEvents] The LSG New Music Series Thurs 05/17/2007, 8pm SF Message-ID: <633792.48283.qm@web53706.mail.re2.yahoo.com> ***************************** OUTSOUND PRESENTS LSG New Music Series @ LUGGAGE STORE GALLERY 1007 Market St. @ 6th St San Francisco, California USA ***************************** Thursday, May 17, 2007 8:00 PM 8:00pm Leavenworth 8:30pm "hbk"; hsu, bayless, kaiser 9:15pm Travis Johns Leavenworth is a San Francisco duo, with Cactus Daniel Hintz on electric guitar and Elvis Johnson on drums. Leavenworth plays an aggressive form of free jazz/noise punk. HBK Trio is comprised of Angela Hsu on violin, Adrian Bayless on guitar and assorted toys, and Jim Kaiser on the ubiquitous amped bicycle wheel. Layers and drone music improvised on the fly with potential video projections. Hsu is late of Mills College and performs throughout the bay area, often with Kaiser in various combinations. Kaiser also records and plays under the name Petit Mal, while Bayless is a recent relocation from Los Angeles who had been an active part of the noise/improv scene there. Travis Johns writes and performs music that he describes as an "abstraction of reality." Consisting primarily of processed field recordings, improvisations and amplified "small sounds," he attempts to weave a tapestry of experiences, gestures and thoughts into a singular, enveloping mass of sounds. Though often labeled as noise at first, a more concentrated listen will yield countless paths for the ear to follow, leading to listening experiences that he hopes will provide infinite possibilities for interpretation. His music has been performed extensively throughout the United States and abroad to a wide variety of audiences, ranging from galleries to anarchist warehouses to international music festivals. An avid performer and improviser on electric bass and electronics, he is a member of the Oakland, Ca. based quintet The Pink Canoes (with Noah Phillips, Ava Mendoza, Aram Shelton and Zachary Watkins), the improvisation trio Satellite (with Gudmundur Steinn Gunnarsson and Liz Meredith) and The Night, an award winning video and performance collective founded in Oberlin, Oh.

Yes, this means that there will once again be an evening put on by the lovely people at the Milkbar featuring a wide range of performances.

San Francisco Performing Arts Library & Museum (SFPALM) 401 Van Ness, SF, CA, in association with Other Minds , is pleased to co-sponsor the 2006-2007 season. The series is led by master improvisers and composers from the Bay Area and beyond. Hosted by Derk Richardson Bob Ostertag: Creative Life Conversation and Performance BOB OSTERTAG will discuss with you and host Derk Richardson the themes that have been the focus of all his work for 30 years: the intersection of art, politics, and technology. The conversation will touch on his disappointment with the direction of electronic music; his recent decision to put his catalog of recorded works in the public domain; his experiments with using technology to create new relationships between musicians. Over the last two decades, much of Ostertag's work has considered the tensions between machines and the human body in art, and has attempted to open a lens through which to view those tensions in society-tensions that are increasingly central to our time. Composer, performer, historian, instrument builder, journalist, activist, kayak instructor &&Bob Ostertag's work cannot easily be summarized or pigeon-holed. He has published 21 CDs of music, two movies, two DVDs, and two books. His writings on contemporary politics have been published on every continent and in many languages. Electronic instruments of his own design are at the cutting edge of both music and video-performance technology.

On the heels of its sold-out premiere at the Pacific Film Archive in April, here's another chance to see what all the fuss was about. NOISY PEOPLE is my feature length video documentary that profiles eight members of the bay area improvisational and new music community, as a way to shed a light on the unique wonderfulness of the community itself. Featuring our friends 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 local improvisational sound community, as well as luminaries like Anthony Braxton, Fred Frith and Jack Wright.. I'll be there to talk about the scene, the film, participatory culture, artistic communities, Gino's shotgun cymbal and whatever else anybody wants to talk about. DVD's of the film will also be for sale. (and they're always available at the NOISY PEOPLE website -- http://www.noisypeople.com -- which also has the trailer, audio clips, musician bios, etc etc) I know a good number of you were shut out of the premiere, expecting, reasonably -- since nothing I've ever been involved in has sold out, no matter how small the room!-- that you could just get there on time and get in! -- So if you're one of these folks, or just couldn't make it to the premiere for whatever reason, I hope you can make it by this time -- cheers Tim -- tim at perkis.com --- www.noisypeople.com ______________________________ What people are saying about Noisy People: Made by an insider in this scene of outsiders, Noisy People beautifully captures one of the most vibrant and unusual music communities in America. Through his series of affectionate portraits, Tim Perkis illuminates the glimmers and glitches of true invention. This film belongs in the canon of brilliant movies about artistic innovation. Funny, profound, and deeply inspiring. -- Beth Lisick, author of Everybody Into the Pool What a trip! ...a curiously refreshing musical tour through one of the East Bay's least understood (but hella deep) pools of creativity. -- Kelly Vance, East Bay Express [A] vivid portrayal of the San Francisco Bay Area's improvised music scene. The movie delivers its message through interviews, concert performances, revealing footage of the musicians' living spaces and backyards and evocative shots of less-than-fashionable Bay Area neighborhoods.... The Bay Area improv scene may be a serially homeless and occasionally ephemeral entity, but thanks to Perkis, it now has a good, permanent, slice-of-life document of its quirky creativity.... Noisy People nails a niche that, as Down Beat used to say, deserves wider attention. --Derk Richardson, SF Gate From 21grand at 21grand.org Mon May 21 14:03:26 2007 From: 21grand at 21grand.org (Sarah - 21 Grand) Date: Mon, 21 May 2007 14:03:26 -0700 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] 5/25 21 Grand presents Moe!kestra 10th Anniversary at The Lab Message-ID: The Lab | 2948 16th Street @ Capp - 1 block from 16th St. BART San Francisco | 415-864-8855 | www.thelab.org Friday, May 25, 2007 Doors open at 8:15, Q&A w/Moe! followed by performance at 8:30 PM $8-15 sliding scale admission Moe!kestra is the large ensemble/orchestra project of Bay Area experimental musician, Moe!

(Or maybe you just want to see it again!) 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. 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'll be there to talk about the scene, the film, creative communities, participatory culture, Gino's shotgun cymbal and whatever else everyone wants to talk about. DVD's of the film will also be for sale -- and they're always available at the NOISY PEOPLE website http://www.noisypeople.com which also has the trailer, audio clips, musician bios, etc etc __________________________________________ What people are saying about Noisy People: Made by an insider in this scene of outsiders, Noisy People beautifully captures one of the most vibrant and unusual music communities in America. Through his series of affectionate portraits, Tim Perkis illuminates the glimmers and glitches of true invention. This film belongs in the canon of brilliant movies about artistic innovation. Funny, profound, and deeply inspiring. -- Beth Lisick, author of Everybody Into the Pool What a trip! ...a curiously refreshing musical tour through one of the East Bay's least understood (but hella deep) pools of creativity. -- Kelly Vance, East Bay Express [A] vivid portrayal of the San Francisco Bay Area's improvised music scene. The movie delivers its message through interviews, concert performances, revealing footage of the musicians' living spaces and backyards and evocative shots of less-than-fashionable Bay Area neighborhoods.... The appearances of certain high-profile musicians, including saxophonist Anthony Braxton and guitarist Fred Frith, indicate how the local improv scene's borders blur both geographically and artistically.... The Bay Area improv scene may be a serially homeless and occasionally ephemeral entity, but thanks to Perkis, it now has a good, permanent, slice-of-life document of its quirky creativity.... Noisy People nails a niche that, as Down Beat used to say, deserves wider attention. --Derk Richardson, SF Gate hope to see you there -- drop me a line for more information Tim tim at noisypeople.com This email was sent to info at noisypeople.com.

I have chosen to talk about Steve Lacy, one of my very favorite musicians. I'll be playing records, talking about his unique body of work, and playing some of his compositions. Below are all the pertinent details - I hope to see you there. Phillip Greenlief Jazz Salon: The next Salon will be presented by Philip Greenlief and will be held at the home of Bruce Nye on June 3rd, starting at 11AM. Please e-mail or call Bruce to confirm. 94 Hermosa Street Oakland, 94618 652-6937 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q &hl=en&q=94+hermosa,+oakland++ca++94618&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=49.4 44078,87.890625&ie=UTF8&ll=37.842614,-122.231977&spn=0.012133,0.021458&z =16&om=1 Phillip Greenlief: Tracing Steve Lacy from Dixieland Gigster to Soprano Saxophone Icon The next Jazz Salon will feature a presentation on Steve Lacy by saxophonist Phillip Greenlief, who will play recordings and perform compositions from Lacy's career in the late 1950's in New York to his exile in Europe (mainly Paris) and back to Boston at the end of his life, where he taught at the New England Conservatory. Greenlief was fortunate to have met Lacy and hung out with him on several occasions, and will be including some personal anecdotes about this great musician. ABOUT STEVE LACY Steve Lacy (July 23, 1934 - June 4, 2004), born Steven Norman Lackritz Steve Lacy is one of the premiere soprano saxophonists and an American jazz icon. Inspired by Sidney Bechet, another soprano saxophone giant, his career began with Dixieland gigs and shortly thereafter he found himself playing with Thelonious Monk, Cecil Taylor, and many others before leaving the United States to become a jazz exile in Europe. During his nearly 40-year residence in Paris, the saxophonist composed material for numerous ensembles and recordings, revolutionized solo performance for saxophone and appeared on over 230 recordings as a leader or guest artist. He collaborated with many of the greatest jazz musicians and improvisers of the past century, in particular with his wife, Irene Aebi. Like many other great musicians, Lacy also developed a great body of compositions based on his own unique organizational system of harmony. Mr. Greenlief will illustrate this system and compare it to a similar system used by John Coltrane to develop his influential jazz classic "Giant Steps".
