Looney - piano Bertram Turetzky - contrabass William Winant - percussion BERTRAM TURETZKY - Contrabass - Since the end of World War II, the contrabass has emerged from its traditional orchestral role to assume the position of an important solo instrument. This marked rise in interest in the contrabass can be traced to it's importance in Jazz and the development of new performance techniques. Bertram Turetzky has been a key figure in the renaissance of the contrabass and since 1955 more than 300 new worked have been written for, performed by and recorded by him, making him the most frequently recorded contrabass soloist in America. In fact, Bertram Turetzky is one of the few performers in all of music history to have single-handedly created a large and impressive repertory of music for his instrument. Turetzky's concert career includes a multitude of performances at concerts and festivals in music centers of the world; New York, London, Paris, Warsaw, Los Angeles, Stockholm and Berlin. His body of work includes music of all genres; solo to symphonic with everything else in between written by composers from the U.S.A., France, Germany, Poland, Australia, Mexico and Spain. He also enjoys programs of music of the Baroque and Romantic periods as well as works by composers out of the Jazz tradition such as Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk and Duke Ellington. In addition, he is the author of THE CONTEMPORARY CONTRABASS (1974), a monograph outlining the new techniques of the instruments. On the basis of the now classic book, Turetzky was named co-editor of the prestigious series THE NEW INSTRUMENTATION, published by the University of California Press. Bertram Turetzky is professor of music at the University of California, San Diego, where his spends a major part of each year in residence. Turetzky has recorded works for the following labels: Advance, Ars Nova, Desto, Finnadar, Folkways, Medea, Nonesuch, Takoma, CRI, Serenus and Nine Winds. "Turetzky is a stunning executant, like a great basso cantante, his double bass speaks purely and with the easy resonance at the softest dynamic levels. Even his harmonics never sound gritty. And the resourcefulness with which he strives for unlikely colors and textures seems virtually unlimited." - New York Times "Turetzky is a virtuoso of a caliber unsurpassed by any other practitioner of his instrument today." - Chicago Daily News Damon Smith http://www.balancepointacoustics.com http://myspace.com/smithdamon New solo project: http://www.myspace.com/damonsmithsolo -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

He started this project in May of 2000, shortly after the formation of Imperial Floral Assault Unit, the pre-cursor to 15DBZ. After years of being a music consumer, he decided it was time to create something of his own. Since that time, he has had numerous CDr releases on such labels as Troniks, Zaftig Research, Immanence Records, and Solipsism, amongst others. He also has CD releases on Crunch Pod and Edgetone Records (forthcoming). In addition, he's been fortunate enough to play multiple shows on both US coasts as well as international shows in Victoria and Montreal, Canada and Berlin, Germany. In the beginning, Mark took a more electronics- and software-based approach to noise. However, over the years, lo-fi equipment and sound sources have begun to dominate, an approach that he feels much more comfortable with, an approach that has led to a considerable evolution in his sound. ======================================== In June of 2006, William C Harrington and Jilli Dart began performing together. In September, they recorded and released UEM Live, a CD featuring several tracks from Harrington's 2005 release, Urban Electronic Music plus tracks co-written by Harrington/Dart. They also began billing themselves as UEM. That November, they were joined by Andy Sykora. In April, 2007, they recorded Code - the first CD released under the collective name UEM. In May, 2007, Jilli decided it was time to concentrate on her own project - spacekitti. The current line up of Harrington/Sykora continues to explore experimental music/noise using instruments, electronics, found objects, and circuit-bent toys.

Charity Chan (solo piano improvisation) A more detailed explanation goes somewhat like this, (no, no, I swear, this is not from me! really...): Peter Musselman and Philip White will be engaging in some good-old down home electronic music tomorrow at 1510 8th street. Bring the kids and come on down for some of this timeless music's classic hits such as "Is that you making that noise," "It Worked This Morning," "Oh Sh*t," and "Is that me making that noise?" The slaphappy White-Musselman duo will be playing some of their own favorites too like "Streeaming radio stations being activated through pitch analysis and then fed into a highly unstable analog feedback system whose out put goes back into the computer for pitch analysis which then determines which radio stations get played," and "eeah, wahh, uhk, ding." Also on the bill...... the exotic solo piano stylings of Miss Charity Chan. Drawing from a background of physical gesture, memory, and intuitive music making, Charity explores the outer-reaches of what can happen when you do what piano teachers tell you you shouldn't ever try. I mean really, Bach/Beethoven and them boys woulda LOVED IT! Visceral, engaging, mercurial, and dynamic, it elicits comments such as: "You play the piano like it was a drumset!"----somebody "Uhmmm....are you sure that's ok? It's not going to hurt the piano?"---somebody #2 "Whoa... dude... are you sure that's ok?" - somebody else "!@#&#$$#%!@$!@#@#$?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............." - an un-named individual Come one, come all...

Since 1991 she has developed and adapted new gestural controllers to musical performance and composed works with these materials. Her unique instrument, the lady's glove, is made out of black lycra and is embedded with sensors which track the slightest motion of each finger, the hand and the arm. The performance thus becomes a small dance where the movements shape the music. Sonami's sound installations combine audio and kinetic elements embedded in every day objects such as lamp bulbs, kitchen gloves and bags. Current performances include "I.C. You", a live film in collaboration with video artist Sue Costabile, shot and scored from two suitcases, a bowl of water and a piece of ice, "The Appearance of Silence (the invention of perspective)," a solo performance with the lady's glove and "AIR" with a new instrument, the Bellow. Sonami has performed in numerous festivals across the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan, among which the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, the Bourges Music Festival in France, the Sonambiente Festival in Berlin, the Interlink festival in Japan, Bang-on-a Can, The Kitchen and Other Minds, S.F. Her awards include the Alpert Award in the Arts (2002), Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts Award (2000), the Civitella Ranieri Fellowship (2000), Studio Pass-Harvestworks residency (2001) and a Creative Work Fund award (2000). During her residency, Sonami will work with Mills College students to collaboratively create ?Chairs,? an installation project. Students from various classes and disciplines will create listening spaces using chairs as site, instrument and point of departure. ?Chairs? will be presented on Saturday, November 17. Sonami will perform "The Appearance of Silence (the invention of perspective)," her solo work with the lady?s glove, on Saturday, November 17 at 8:00pm in Lisser Hall.

He created music which combined electronics and acoustics with musicians such as Ernst Karel, members of TV Pow and Koutaro Fukui (ondo music). Along the way he has performed with musicians such as Jeff Parker, Ken Vandermark, Steve Bernstein, Jeb Bishop, Josh Abrams, Guillermo Gregorio, Chris Jonas, Fred Lonberg-holm, Steve Hess, and Rob Mazurek. In the fall of 2005 he moved to the Bay Area to study at Mills College. His focus continues to shift towards improvisation based music that more naturally combines electronics and acoustics in a live setting. Out west he's had the opportunity to play with the likes of Weasel Walter, Fred Frith, Jon Raskin, and Damon Smith. Other recordings of his music are available through 482 Music and Locust Music. Trevor Healy is a recent transplant to the Bay Area after moving from Brooklyn, NY. In performance, he draws from his education in classical guitar, Javanese Gamelan, and years of collaboration in rock, folk and improvised music. For the past three years Healy has worked primarily with 12-string guitar, feedback, tone generator and electronics. In the duo Paper Legs with percussionist Brian Osborne, he works by layering scraping and popping sounds with chiming guitar melodies to build meditative patterns. In partnership with Aram Shelton, they are experimenting with manipulating each other's sounds, through a setup of cross miking instruments and pedals. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Kwisp is a San Francisco based musical group. Their instrumentation is unique, most of it built by the band itself. Their first album, Teriyaki Vest Odyssey, merged Elf songs, free jazz, Dada, ?? ??? and Tantric Appalachian Pygmy Music. The main core member is Altered Walter Funk. Kwisp currently has two released recordings, Teriyaki Vest Odyssey, and Altered States of Alien Kwisp. Fifty Foot Hose founder, Cork Marcheschi was a guest on Teriyaki Vest Odyssey for one song. Kwisp's second album, Altered States of Alien Kwisp is a musical collaboration between Kwisp and Daevid Allen from the band Gong. Kwisp is sometimes joined by Lenny Bove from Tripod Jimmie and Fifty Foot Hose. Some live performances feature HOLOGRAPHIC ANIMATIONS that animate along with the music, using a custom built HOLOGRAPHIC VIDEO SYNTHESIZER. The Holographic Video Synthesizer, called the Hologlyphic Funkalizer, projects Holographic Glyphs that animate and spatially transform into each other, controlled by unique sound sculptures and a dedicated control panel. Moving holograms and music become one, they are integrated and inter-modulating.

Ashkenaz has a great dance floor, so we expect your bootaaaaaaaaays to be shakin?. December 8th we?ll be collaborating with the one and only Sandor Elix Katz, author of The Wild Fermentation Book. Sandor lives in Tennessee and is currently touring around the country sharing fermentation skills and fomenting a grassroots movement to reconnect communities with healthy nutritious, delicious, and wholesome foods. Sandor and local fermenters will share their skills and experiences with fermentation and conduct a hands-on-sauerkraut making workshop involving interested audience members (YOU!), all to the live and lively music of Zoyres Eastern European Wild Ferment. Samples of local ferments will be on hand to sample and savor. BRING A KNIFE, CUTTING BOARD, GLASS JAR or CERAMIC CROCK, and some VEGETABLES so that you can leave the event with your own wild ferment. For ideas of vegetables and spices, see http://www.wildfermentation.com/resources.php?page=sauerkraut. We are excited to be able to host this event at SOL (Sustaining Ourselves Locally), a beautifully vibrant co-op and garden in East Oakland?s Fruitvale neighborhood.

All our work leading up to recording has tightened up the band, which is sounding better than ever. On top of that, Mike has been busy in the kitchen, preparing sauerkraut, kimchee, ginger beer, and kombucha for the upcoming events. A new batch of wildly fermented ginger, carrot, beet, and horseradish slaw brought Mike to tears in the kitchen tonight (grated horseradish is powerful stuff).

Strings, sax, trombone, voice, guitar, percussion, electronics, and others will join a strong cast of dance talent for an evening of collaborative improvisation. This will be a debut outing for the group, which is currently rehearsing and exploring options for future performance. Seattle?s Jessie Smith founded Dead Bird Movement to provide a structure for her hard work, neuroticism, passion and drive. It is a vehicle that unites her many artistic endeavors. Through the production of Dead Bird?s dance-based works, Smith experiments with many artistic disciplines from fi lm to visual art. Dead Bird has cultivated an aesthetic that is both exhilarating and disturbing. Smith is not afraid to make herself and her work ugly. In doing so, she unveils the most unexpected beauty. Smith?s choreography challenges physical strength and endurance in a way that accentuates the nuances of the body. Her wild, bruising movement embodies an urgent necessity that couples punkish physicality with sharp line and then snarls the mixture. From jorgepiaget at yahoo.com Tue Nov 20 04:00:46 2007 From: jorgepiaget at yahoo.com (Jorge Blank) Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2007 04:00:46 -0800 (PST) Subject: [NewMusicEvents] New Core of the Coalman Record On Sauce Juice Look Out Message-ID: <189766.97307.qm@web55703.mail.re3.yahoo.com> Hello, The new Core of the Coalman record ASOLTMUSKET is available on SauceJuice.com and you can listen to or even download the whole bone wagon without paying for it! (for free, that is, for a while at least) www.saucejuice.com/coreofthecoalman/asoltmusket.html This album was recorded before Core of the Coalman left Oakland for Prague. It is a sequel of sorts to his last record ANXIETY, which is available from San Francisco?s premier purveyor of ear worms Resipiscent Records. http://www.resipiscent.com/ CORE OF THE COALMAN: It?s Jorge Boehringer?s solo viola axe and silver toned frequency drift for the vibration of the air surrounding the Aural Coils, electrically. Both of them, vibrated in phase pulses sometimes symmetrical, and other times it?s life burning to pour out. Its Yam Yad much picked over when found in the company of a rough legged hawk. It?s a barbershop quartet dedicated to performing baroque slink slop in concordance with thermoelectric properties, and when they are hot, they are hot. It?s a theoretical cure for chronic coryza, and while the predicament is allieviated, the geocephalo-cotex is also direly affected, causing an initiative of obsessive vision: geological and musical time frames became supercooled and thus glacially motivated. Slow in form but powered and etched by sunshine continually, in the spirit of biting the hand that feeds one, Core of the Coalman is dyspeptic subtended prescient lacuna. AND WHY NOT?!! www.myspace.com/coreoggthecoalman JORGE BOEHRINGER: Jorge Boehringer is an electro-acoustic musician, composer, sound designer, and installation artist from the United States. He was born in New York, grew up in Texas, and then moved to Oakland, California. Since coming to the San Francisco Bay Area ten years ago he has become an unstoppable navigational presence in the noise and experimental music scenes. As one of his alter-egos Core of the Coalman, Jorge performs solo on a variety of electrical and acoustic media in live performance. These pieces address a variety of conceptual and artistic questions and result in the creation of novel sonic architectures. Core of the Coalman performs regularly, and has shared programs alongside the most diverse experimental bands and artists including Gowns, Rubber O Cement, Deerhoof, Ikue Mori, Luciano Chessa, Badgerlore, Ramon Sender, Tralphaz, Sixes, the Breezy Days Band, Xome, Jessica Rylan, 0th, Bulbs, and Joshua Churchill to name a few. He collaborates directly with a spastic mash-up of the american experimental music community and the international avant-garde. His roster of collaborators includes members of D Yellow Swans, Grouper, Marfa and Ne-Af, XBXRX, 16 Bitch Pile Up, Liz Albee, 7 Year Rabbit Cycle, Miba, and the Grey Daturas, and with artists as diverse as Pauline Oliveros, Marco Enidi, Tuesday Faust, Paul Baker, Bonne Banks, and Che Chen. In addition to his solo work, Jorge Boehringer has composed music for the American Conservatory Theater(SF), cellist Loren Dempster, EnsembleInc (NYC), The Sf Sound Ensemble, the Mills College Contemporary Performance Ensemble,and for many other ensembles, dance groups, films, and individuals. His composition teachers have included Fred Frith, Pauline Oliveros, Alvin Curran, and Gerald Gabel, and he has attended workshops with Allan Kaprow, Marianne Amacher, and Paul De Marinis. Jorge has also organized countless events and acted as curator for series of concerts and festivals such as the Mission Creek Music and Arts Festival, and Music for People and Thingamajigs Festivals, as well as curating gallery shows in San Francisco. He has also participated in several gallery shows, and to this date his light and sound works have been presented in several places in the United States, as well as in Japan and Europe. Having performed throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Japan, he is now living in Prague and exploring Europe. Otak Ptak (http://www.myspace.com/opakptak) is a place to bring some of these seemingly divergent areas of activity in Jorge?s work together, various options for interaction are left in your hands, where they belong, enjoy.

Cassettes made of carpet, a record that comes packaged in a living moose,YOU GET THE PICTURE: http://www.saucejuice.com/ The website is itself hours of confusing fun to play with (it links into the larger Lation umbrella).

My current exhibit at Mission 17 in San Francisco has been extended until Saturday, December 1st, when there will be a closing reception from 3-6pm. ~David] EMERGENCE Video + Sound Installations by David Kwan Mission 17 2111 Mission Street, Suite 401 San Francisco, California 94110 510.467.4818 Gallery Hours are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 3 - 6pm, or by appointment. Closing Reception: Saturday, December 1st, 3 - 6pm + Two multi-channel video and sound installations by David Kwan invite the study of emergent systems, from their building blocks to their transformation into complex forms. Inspired by end-of-land vistas of the greater Pacific Rim, TERMINUS (2007) is an evolving tableau of the vast light, water and landforms in this coastal expanse. Kwan collects images and sounds from the terminal points for various roadways, shipping and rail lines from the length of San Francisco to Orcas Island and randomly superimposes them to produce a continuously transforming environment. As component elements progressively enter and leave, the composite landscape and soundscape grow with determined complexity and organicism. In SOLARIS (2006), Kwan uses terrestrial sound in the form of radio waves as the basis for generating patterns and then shaping the space in which they inhabit. Following the notion that sound waves propagated the earliest clustering of matter, he reveals a wealth of images from the electromagnetic signature of present-day sound phenomena. The work in this exhibit was made possible with the generous support of Jack Straw Productions in Seattle, WA, and the Experimental Television Center in Owego, NY. + For more information: http://mission17.org http://mission17.org/exhibits/emergence/index.htm MISSION 17 2111 Mission Street, Suite 401 San Francisco, California 94110 www.mission17.org info at mission17.org 510.467.4818 From rentromus at yahoo.com Mon Nov 26 13:13:02 2007 From: rentromus at yahoo.com (Rent Romus) Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 13:13:02 -0800 (PST) Subject: [NewMusicEvents] LSG New Music Series 11/29/07 Message-ID: <951944.66321.qm@web53702.mail.re2.yahoo.com> ************************************* Outsound Presents LSG New Music Series @ LUGGAGE STORE GALLERY 1007 Market St. @ 6th St San Francisco, California USA ************************************* 8pm: Larnie Fox's Crank Ensemble 9pm: Toychestra The Crank Ensemble is a San Francisco-based performance group whose musicians create rhythmic and repetitive patterns by using handmade crank-operated machines. The instruments are constructed by artist Larnie Fox; each has a mounted piezo (contact microphone) to amplify its sound. The ensemble of cranks creates layers of sound, resulting in a range of a sparse new-music style "plinking" to melodic loopiness and hardcore noise. The Crank Ensemble has performed at numerous local spaces/events such as the Luggage Store, the LAB, the Hemlock Tavern, 12 Galaxies, at 21 Grand as part of the Edgetone Music Summit, Godwaffle Noise Pancakes, and at the 2007 Maker Faire. www.myspace.com/crankensemble Toychestra is an all-women musical ensemble that plays toys. Some are actual instruments like toddler-sized pianos and xylophones and drums. Others just make great sounds, like the pink zoo train or Boo Megaphone or the acoustic, multi-sonic Activity Center. Still others are used for percussion, like the washboard, Don?t Wake Daddy, and woodblock. Each instrument is individually amplified with contact microphones and the collection is mixed live for a bigger electronic sound. This creates a sophisticated aural experience that is a far cry from a bunch of kiddies banging around. Toychestra performs original compositions ranging from stark to upbeat, from percussive to melodic, to ambient, avant-garde and kitsch. In the past the band was known to do a few covers ranging from Dvorak to Kraftwerk to Black Flag. www.toychestra.com Cost : $6-10 ******************************************************************************** Dec 6 - 8pm Tony Dryer/Stefanie Ku 9pm Biggie Vinkeloe/Donald Robinson Dec 13 - 8pm Brzytwa/Johns/Greenlief 9pm: Bloom - Baker/Mcdonas/Romus Dec 20 - 8pm James Goode 9pm Bran...POS Dec 27 - 8pm: IronSax Quartet (Sacramento) 9pm: Knudsen-Benedict duo ******************************************************************************** Outsound Presents is a emerging non-profit volunteer collective of explorative sound artists who, among other things, are involved in running performance venues, recording labels, and other D.I.Y. endeavors.
