[NewMusicEvents] 1510 8th St. November 9th

Fri Nov 9 01:13:32 PST 2007

Here goes folks:

1510 8th St. Performance Space
November 9th 2007
8 PM
$6-10
snacks (free) and cash bar (available)

Performing this evening will be:

Philip White and Peter Musselman (Mills Electronic Music Graduate  
Students doing Death Radio Feedback!)

followed by...

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...
