Set on separate stages throughout the art gallery as timeless, resonant sculpturedances, the performances depict the journeys of three women seeking beauty and honor in their self-made prisons of assumptions. In her choreography, Dawn juxtaposes humor with pathos, courage with cowardice, beauty with ugliness to lead the audience on an unexpectedly complex and unique emotional journey to find a different truth. Always looking for a deeper definition of dance in relation to our culture, Barely Human utilizes Butoh, theatre and other dance forms to explore the value of different creative processes and the relationship they have on the relationship between music, dance and reality. The music pieces for the evening are: ?Sonata for Violin and Piano? by Claude Debussy performed by Sara Salzmann and Emi Tamura, a ?disintegration? of ?Fur Elise? by Ludwig Van Beethoven created and performed by Gregory Scharpen and Dean Santomieri, and ?Orange Manjushri?, a completely original work with vocals performed by Anahata Sound.

The string instruments tune to a unique twenty-two-tone just intonation scale. An electronic component creates a digital feedback loop between audio and video software/hardware, which then becomes an instrument in performance. The interactive system receives input data from microphones and is analyzed for control data for the video being synthesized in real-time. Abstract imagery and color fields projected in the room transform it with changing light, accentuating the physical environment, a technique recently dubbed augmented sculpture or object-based video art. The ensemble of musicians includes Shayna Dunkelman (percussion), Kanoko Nishi (koto), Noah Phillips (prepared guitar), Marielle Jakobsons (violin/electronics), Emily Packard (violin), Theresa Wong (cello), Aram Shelton (woodwinds/electronics), Jen Baker (trombone), Dennis Somera (voice/poetry), Zachary James Watkins (laptop/network), and Joe Gray (video/network).

Joker will also give an explanation of circuit-bending and talk about his work, and Rob Hordijk will discuss his hand-made synthesizer the Blippobox -- one of Joker's featured instruments. ************ Biographies: Joker Nies lives and works in Cologne, Germany, as a musician, sound-designer/engineer, and technical editor for the German Sound&Recording magazine. He has a long history of working with modular synthesizers, individually designed electronic devices, DSP-based systems and software-based sound sources. In the early '90s, modifying the Omnichord became his initiation to circuit-bending. Since then he has converted a steadily growing number of simple toys into alien sound devices. Nies regularly performs live, solo and in various collaborations, and holds workshops and tutorials about circuit-bending and MAX/MSP. He has performed and lectured throughout Europe and in the USA and Mexico. More information at http://www.klangbureau.de/Joker_E/klangbureau-Biografie.html. Gino Robair is a mainstay of the Bay Area creative music scene. His primary musical interests include percussion, analog electronics, Styrofoam, and prepared piano. He has composed music for dance, theater, gamelan, radio, and television. Robair's concert works have been performed in North America, Europe, and Japan, and as percussionist he has performed internationally or recorded with such luminaries as Tom Waits, Terry Riley, Anthony Braxton, Lou Harrison, John Zorn, Nina Hagen, and Kronos Quartet. Trained originally as a sculptor and jewelry maker, Rob Hordijk has been building audio and synthesizer electronics for over thirty years, combining his interests towards the "sculpture" of sound. He has consulted on the design of commercial synthesizers (Clavia G2) and designed many specialty analog modules, including the 36dB Twinpeak resonator and the Tilt filter, several types of chaos generators, and the Bessel waveshaper. Hordijk's current work is on "coffee table" synthesizers -- small, entirely hand-built boxes designed on the principles of circuit-bending to take on a "life of their own." He regularly gives lectures and workshops on sound design and synthesis.

This Tuesday, April 15th The Music Box series at the Climate Theater presents David Slusser & Rubber City with Ralph Carney - 9 pm Clarke (solo acoustic guitarist Steve Clarke) - 8 pm Climate Theater 285 9th St (at Folsom) $10 - 15 sliding scale www.climatetheater.com 415-263-0830 Rubber City plays and improvises on melodic jazz compositions. David Slusser - sax, flute, compositions Ralph Carney - sax and any number of miscellaneous instruments Richard Saunders - acoustic bass John Hanes - drums and percussion Clarke is the nom de guerre used by Steve Clarke for his solo acoustic guitar recording "Roots n' Hubris" (http://cdbaby.com/cd/clarkemusic). He was part of the art rock band Arkansas Man, and played with Ralph Carney and David Slusser in the seminal idiomatic improv group Pluto. They will be revisiting that by collaborating on each others sets. Trouble In Tiretown review from All Music Guide by Scott Yanow David Slusser wrote all ten selections for this CD, utilizing an instrumentation that hints at the Ornette Coleman Quartet (substituting a second reed for Don Cherry's cornet) while adding a healthy dose of his wit and hints at earlier styles of jazz. "Jazzdeath," which is full of obvious song quotes and clich?s, sounds as if the musicians are trying to kill jazz or at least satirize the hard bop revival of the 1980s, while other songs sometimes manage to be both inside and outside at the same time. The interaction between Slusser (who alternates between tenor, soprano, and bass clarinet) and Ralph Carney (alto and clarinet) is colorful and accessible even when at its most explorative, and more complex than it sounds when their music borders on Dixieland and circus music. Bassist Richard Saunders and drummer Chris Ackerman are subtle and stimulating, while guitarist Robert Zucker is an asset on the two songs on which he performs. All of the concise originals have stories behind them outlined in Slusser's well-written liner notes. There is no lack of spirit and joy to these performances; highly recommended. Delight at the End of the Tunnel review from All Music Guide by Nitsuh Abebe David Slusser's work history ranges from collaborations with John Zorn to music editing for Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas, and co-composing with David Lynch. Delight... demonstrates why -- Slusser has a sense of cinematic composition and sound collage that is simply amazing. "Kubrick" is a wide-screen tone-poem that (like all of Slusser's work) goes beyond any sense of "experimentalism" into something concrete and fully realized, while "Dragon" accompanies the sound of the Chinese language with cymbals, bells, and bowed metallic objects to create sounds that capture the entire image and sense of the dragon in eastern mythology. Other tracks assemble resonances and decays of piano tones into concrete compositions that are as beautiful as they are simply fascinating. An excellent collection that makes your average "experimentalist" seem completely misguided.

One of Loren's found footage films, Wolfenstein Franks the Meetwoman, won a prize at the Saginaw, Michigan 8mm Film Festival in 1968. In the late Sixties he started painting on film, and founded the f8 Filmaker's Cooperative, which held the first 8mm film festival in 1967. In the Seventies Loren played improvised electronic music with the Henry Kaiser Quartet at such venues as Keystone Korner and the Oakland Museum. The recordings he made with Russel Baba and Dennis Saputelli, among others, constitute his film soundtracks. Douglas Katelus produces avant-garde film showings regularly at New Nothing Studio, and has shown his films at Artist's Television Access, RX Gallery, and 21 Grand. He led a band called Reagan's Memory, and also plays with Black Pearl Stepchild, also with Randylee Sutherland. Randylee Sutherland has also played in the bands Woman's Worth and Sword and Sandals, and is head of the CD-R label Freak Out. David Michalak filmaker/musician plays a Fender lap steel guitar and an assortment of odd percussion instruments. While he is more commonly known as a filmmaker (50 films with original soundtracks since 1971), the visual art side of him seeps inherently into his solo performances and group compositions which are characterized by shimmering passages, abstract snapshots and haunting representations of natural elements. Besides Ghost In The House, David plays in his instrumental ensemble Reel Change as well as the duo, Dr. Bob. Some musicians that he is currently performing with are: Tom Nunn, Andrew Voigt, Bob Marsh, Carla Kihlstedt, Karen Stackpole and Kyle Bruckmann.

Looney: Electronics/Hyper Piano Weasel Walter: Percussion Kristian Aspelin: Guitar The Aspelin/Looney/Smith/Walter group was originally put together to explore the sonic possibilities associated with electronic/amplified instruments and intense percussion played at fast tempos and high volume levels. However, after the first few notes were played together as a unit, the group immediately showed a readiness and determination to examine texture, rhythm, and melody across dynamic and tempo ranges. The result is a unique sound that puts a fresh perspective on the traditional piano/guitar/bass/drums quartet, touching on elements of improvisation?s past while keeping the sound squarely footed in the wealth of possibilities available today. http://www.balancepointacoustics.com http://myspace.com/smithdamon New solo project: http://www.myspace.com/damonsmithsolo -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's been forever since I've updated you on my activities, which have been plentiful, but so often out-of-town.

The upcoming performances range from short, solo and collaborative offerings in shared events to a run of my latest multimedia performance work, "The Pendulum". I really hope you'll all mark your calendars for The Pendulum, as I'm really excited about it, and it's only running for three nights in a small performance venue. And, on the "Z Programs" front, I am presenting a series of four chamber concerts this summer in the "ROOM" series ? featuring a number of extraordinary luminaries of percussion, bowed strings, harps & zithers, and voices.

His work in music began with elaborate audio visual setups and theatrical site specific performances. Recently he has been focusing more on live production of sonic content with less emphasis on conceptual performance and integration of video art. Andrew was born in Lansing, Michigan, but his family packed up a U-Haul and drove down to North Carolina with Andrew, before he was yet able to walk or speak. He spent most of his early years running through the woods, hiking and truly enjoying the Appalachian mountain range although, if you were to ask him about it, he might tell you that he would rather have been somewhere else. Throughout his early life, Andrew fostered a love for photography and performing that led him to Bennington College in Vermont. At Bennington, he studied photography, theater, music, and film as though they were the same subject, and is now living and working in the San Francisco East Bay as a Production Assistant on documentary films. Matthiew Werchowski & David Chiesa "...Carving slow luminous shapes into resonant space. Both players have connections to the European avant garde, with Werchowski forging alliances with Jerome Noetinger, Lionel Marchetti and John Russell, while Chiesa has worked with Michel Doneda and Xavier Charles as well as danceers like Yukiko Makamura and Veronique Albert. ...The duo bookend dark pools of silence with thin smears of light, the strings singing with glissing overtones and ...intimately focused dronework. ...Moving from dense harmonics through cyclical minimalism and hypnotic raga-esque duets wtih an organic logic."

The Acme House Band is: Gino Robair, Kyle Bruckmann, Theresa Wong, Matt Ingalls, John Shiurba, Tim Perkis, and Tom Djll. In German, the name Grosse Abfahrt means 'great departure'. The project is to take a core group of Bay Area musicians and put them together with out of town guests, usually Europeans. Always free improvisation. This concert marks the fourth iteration of the project. The music strives toward long structures, charged silences, and extreme attention to detail.

Joker will also give an explanation of circuit-bending and talk about his work, and Rob Hordijk will discuss his hand-made synthesizer the Blippobox -- one of Joker's featured instruments. ************ Biographies: Joker Nies lives and works in Cologne, Germany, as a musician, sound-designer/engineer, and technical editor for the German Sound&Recording magazine. He has a long history of working with modular synthesizers, individually designed electronic devices, DSP-based systems and software-based sound sources. In the early '90s, modifying the Omnichord became his initiation to circuit-bending. Since then he has converted a steadily growing number of simple toys into alien sound devices. Nies regularly performs live, solo and in various collaborations, and holds workshops and tutorials about circuit-bending and MAX/MSP. He has performed and lectured throughout Europe and in the USA and Mexico. More information at http://www.klangbureau.de/Joker_E/klangbureau-Biografie.html. Gino Robair is a mainstay of the Bay Area creative music scene. His primary musical interests include percussion, analog electronics, Styrofoam, and prepared piano. He has composed music for dance, theater, gamelan, radio, and television. Robair's concert works have been performed in North America, Europe, and Japan, and as percussionist he has performed internationally or recorded with such luminaries as Tom Waits, Terry Riley, Anthony Braxton, Lou Harrison, John Zorn, Nina Hagen, and Kronos Quartet. Trained originally as a sculptor and jewelry maker, Rob Hordijk has been building audio and synthesizer electronics for over thirty years, combining his interests towards the "sculpture" of sound. He has consulted on the design of commercial synthesizers (Clavia G2) and designed many specialty analog modules, including the 36dB Twinpeak resonator and the Tilt filter, several types of chaos generators, and the Bessel waveshaper. Hordijk's current work is on "coffee table" synthesizers -- small, entirely hand-built boxes designed on the principles of circuit-bending to take on a "life of their own." He regularly gives lectures and workshops on sound design and synthesis. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Amy X Neuburg http://www.amyxneuburg.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++ From pgsaxo at pacbell.net Thu Apr 24 19:14:05 2008 From: pgsaxo at pacbell.net (Phillip Greenlief) Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:14:05 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [NewMusicEvents] evander music presents at 1510 this friday Message-ID: <341622.40252.qm@web81405.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Friday, Apr 25 2008 8:00 PM 1510 8th St Performance Space 1510 8th Street Oakland evander music presents at 1510 8:30 pm bush of ghosts jen baker - trombone phillip greenlief - saxophones damon smith - bass spirit - percussion 9:30 pm efft sarah palmer - voice, guitar noah phillips - guitar alee karem - bass jordan glenn - drums come join us for one of the last performances at 1510 hosted by jeremy and micaela! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Although much of Shelton's documented work reveals a careful deployment of minimalism and an introverted approach to arrangement and melody, his frenetic alto sax playing on Walter's 2006 "Revolt Music" CD alludes to some of the further possibilities of this unexpected union. Utilizing knotty composed statements as a springboard for improvisation, this performance promises maximum interaction. Sudden Oak is the San Francisco duo of John Ward (electric guitar) and Matt Erickson (saxophone) - "the resultant pile-up is a fucking blast, with John drawing huge vectors of feedback and klang from his guitar with a weight of ideas that crosses the post-Hendrix adrenaline mainline of Munehiro Narita with the avant brut ality of Masayuki Takayanagi and when Matt's high, metallic saxophone parts crown the whole deal with blups of severed single-note ferocity it'll have you reaching for your Takayanagi/Abe discs for a back-to-back blast." Paper Legs is the nom de plume for the music of Trevor Healy and Brian Osborne birthed in Brooklyn a few years back. Healy relocated to the San Francisco area in 2006, yet the two maintain the name for their solo and collaborative works. From the KZSU review "Low fi experimental, noise jams with loops and drums and guitar. Moments feel like toy instrument sources, others are clanging cacophonies."

Zoyres has some exciting performing shows starting this Saturday (May 3) in Santa Cruz, the following Wednesday in Oakland (May 7) and then a few shows later out in San Francisco. Read on for details, and we hope to see you at one or more of these events. Please also spread the word to your Santa Cruz peeps. Thanks! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zoyres Eastern European Wild Ferment Saturday May 3, doors at 7:30, music around 8pm Cayuga Vault 1100 Soquel Ave. SANTA CRUZ, CA $8, proceeds benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society A charity auction of donated items from over 50 local businesses will also take place in order to help raise additional donations for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Everything sold at last year's event sold at a significant discount from its retail price. Check or cash accepted for payment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zoyres with Colin Stetson (solo woodwinds) & Never Enough Hope Wednesday May 7, 8pm 21Grand - 416 25th St Oakland, CA $6-10 This promises to be quite a fantastic evening. The inimitable Colin Stetson will bring his ear-bending and unbelievable saxophonics back to the West Coast for a solo set. Colin had lived in San Francisco where he performed with numerous groups including Transmission and the People?s Bizarre. His saxophone playing and compelling use of extended technique (circular breathing, multiphonics, slap-tongue, etc.) has been a big influence on me, changing the way I conceive of the instrument. Now he lives in New York, so this is a rare treat to see him live, perhaps even playing his bass saxophone! Never Enough Hope is an improvising ensemble represented by about 20 musicians hailing from San Francisco, Chicago, and New York. Local stars join out-of towners for a dynamic display of composition and improvisation. Zoyres will be sampling our local flavors of wild fermentation, perhaps joined by some exotic spices brought by the Never Enough Hope folks. http://www.myspace.com/neverenoughhope http://www.colinstetson.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Liam Staskawicz composition recital + Zoyres Monday May 19 8pm San Francisco Conservatory of Music, 50 Oak St, San Francisco, CA Admission is free to this shared recital by composers Liam Staskawicz and Winton White - there's a wide variety of vocal, instrumental and electro-acoustic music on the program.

Tuesday June 17 8pm Climate Theater, 285 9th St. (at Folsom), San Francisco $10 Zoyres fans who are aficionados of the bass clarinet will especially not want to miss this show. Bass clarinet duo Sqwonk (featuring Jeff Anderle and our very own Jon Russell ? both also of Edmund Welles) will open the evening with virtuosic lyricism and adventurous composition. Zoyres will hopefully recruit Jeff to sit in on some tunes as well. http://www.sqwonk.org/Sqwonk.html http://www.myspace.com/climatetheatermusicbox --************************************************Zoyres Eastern European Wild Ferment Mike Perlmutter -- saxes and clarinetLiam Staskawicz ? tromboneJonathan Russell ? clarinet and bass clarinetJosh Sirotiak - tubaEddie Pollard ? drums zoyres.monopod.netwww.myspace.com/zoyreshttp://youtube.com/profile?user=Zoyreshttp://www.cafepress.com/zoyreshttp://cdbaby.com/cd/zoyreseewf _________________________________________________________________ Back to work after baby?how do you know when you?re ready? http://lifestyle.msn.com/familyandparenting/articleNW.aspx?cp-documentidW97498&ocid=T067MSN40A0701A -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Sandra plays electronic percussion and Bob plays violin and cello and vocalizes. After a chance meeting at a rehearsal for Gamelan Kusuma Laras in NYC, Brian, Jay Dunbar, and Trevor discovered their shared need for a rehearsal space. Friendships formed after some long train rides back to Brooklyn, and eventually they began playing music together outside of the Gamelan room. As their other bands ended Trevor and Brian began weekly rehearsals together which became Paper Legs about a year later. The duo form allowed them to explore the use of electronics with acoustic instruments and objects with much more freedom than other projects past. Currently living on separate coasts, Brian and Trevor both continue to play solo sets as Paper Leg, and improvise together whenever possible. Their releases include: "Three by Three" 3 x 3" CDR?s, "Tent School" CDR, and Paper Legs / Sharks with Wings Split 7."
