[NewMusicEvents] NOISY PEOPLE --SAT MAY 26 Screening in Berkeley

[Tim Perkis]

SAT May 26, 8pm:  Video documentary NOISY PEOPLE at the Berkeley Arts
Festival, 2323 Shattuck Ave, btw Durant and Bancroft, Berkeley CA.

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

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.
