He graduated from the Oberlin Conservatory in 2004 with a Bachelor of Music degree and relocated to San Francisco, where he performed as a freelancer until returning to New York City in January 2005. Recently, Nick has performed throughout the Northeastern US with his trio, the Adam Caine/Nick Lyons Duo, and with, among others and in various formations, pianist Connie Crothers, tenor saxophonist Lorenzo Sanguedolce, bassist Adam Lane, pianist/vocalist Kazzrie Jaxen (formerly Liz Gorrill), and bassist Ken Filiano. Nick has recorded several projects and plans to release duo albums with Adam Caine and pianist Carol Liebowitz in 2008. Sound For the Organization of Society is a creative music ensemble founded in New Orleans in 2004. The group plays original music by all of its members, and presents works which equally balance composition and improvisation. The music draws from a variety of traditions and musical styles: jazz, classical, the avant-garde, and various ethnic musics. The unusual instrumentation of the band mirrors variety of its members, who hail from various cities across the U.S. and Europe and have wide-ranging backgrounds from classical composition and performance to rock and free jazz. These disparate styles and the unique instrumentation lead to a distinctive and intriguing group sound. The band was originally organized in 2004 for a concert at Loyola University New Orleans. After several succesful performances, planning began for an album, but the project was interrupted by Hurricane Katrina, which scattered the band members across the country. They were able to reconvene in May of 2006 in New Orleans to record ?India and Africa?, their first album, which will be released in June 2007. Although the band members are once again dispersed around the country, a second recording project is currently being organized.

An active member of San Diego's Trummerflora Collective ( www.trummerflora.com ) and one of the original members of Maiden Voyage, an all-female big band out of Los Angeles, Weller has performed with George Lewis, Vinny Golia, Lisle Ellis, Anthony Davis, Muhal Richard Abrams, Jason Robinson, Nathan Hubbard Skeleton Key Orchestra, Lesli Dalaba, Carla Kihlstadt, Ernesto Diaz-Infante, Hans Fjellestadt, Vanessa Tomlinson, Marcos Fernandes, Michael Dessen, Michael Friedman, Second Avenue Klezmer Ensemble and the Weller Family Jazz Quartet. She has recently appeared at several festivals, including the SF Alt Festival, the Spring Reverb 04 (San Diego), and the Big Sur Sound Shift. Her compositions have been performed in New York, Detroit, San Diego and Los Angeles, and include music for the 1996 UCSD revival production of Terminal directed by Joseph Chaiken. Pianist/Percussionist/Composer Bob Weller has enjoyed a significant career as a jazz drummer, working with jazz greats Joe Pass, Mose Allison, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Benny Golson, Kenny Baron, Herb Ellis, Dave Carpenter, Walt Weiskopf, Larry Koonse, Hollis Gentry III, Jeff Beal, Steve Tavaglione, Anthony Davis and Mike Garson. He has also recorded and performed with experimental/free jazz/avante garde artists including George Lewis, Bertram Turetzky, Nathan Hubbard, Lisle Ellis, Vinny Golia, Jason Robinson, David Borgo and wife Ellen Weller. Bob's compositions early on crossed the boundary between jazz and classical chamber music, such as his jazz/chamber ensemble suite based upon J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings [1979 - well before the movie!]. Excerpts from "On the Road" features bassist/narrator Bertram Turetzky. Bob's bass concerto Homage to Jackson Pollock was selected to be performed by the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Donald Portnoy at the 2002 Piccolo Spoleto Festival, and was performed with a slide show in 2001 by the University of California San Diego Wind Ensemble, conducted by Robert Zelickman. Other compositions include a trumpet concerto, a piece for flute and guitar, and any jazz tunes. Austrian alto saxophonist, bass clarinetist, and singer, Tanja Feichtmair, has performed with experimental and traditional jazz bands, as well as with Arabian musicians from Tunisia and in collaboration with writers and filmmakers. Damon Smith's music is rooted in the tradition of "free jazz", with most of his professional experience coming from work with the orchestras and small ensembles of alto saxophonist marco eneidi, however, he is very interested in all the manifestations of free improvised music (jazz rooted or not!) around the world. His live and recorded efforts focus on continuing and expanding the possibilities of the double bass and "instant composition." His instrumental study focuses on classical technique and etudes, while using jazz as reference for pizzicato tone. Damon performs as a soloist and in every imaginable grouping all the way to large orchestra.

Tomita. Meridian will dedicate its Performance Gallery to Toyoji with a plaque made by sculptor Jon Lee Steel. Toyoji was an accomplished trombonist who studied at the Juilliard School and the Curtis Institute of Music. He was a music instructor at Mills College in Oakland and performed with several ensembles in the Bay Area. Toyoji was the owner and president of T.P.T. Gardener, Inc., one of the first sustainable gardening companies to be awarded public works contracts including the City of Oakland Frank Ogawa Plaza project and the Alameda County Juvenile Hall renovation project. When Meridian and all of its programs were forced to move in the spring of 2007, Toyoji acted as a volunteer project manager for the renovation of our building at 535 Powell Street. Toyoji's guidance helped us shape the Performance Gallery which now houses the Meridian Music: Composers in Performance series.

Tomita. Meridian will dedicate its Performance Gallery to Toyoji with a plaque made by sculptor Jon Steel. Toyoji was an accomplished trombonist who studied at the Juilliard School and the Curtis Institute of Music. He was a music instructor at Mills College in Oakland and performed with several ensembles in the Bay Area. Toyoji was the owner and president of T.P.T. Gardener, Inc., one of the first sustainable gardening companies to be awarded public works contracts including the City of Oakland Frank Ogawa Plaza project and the Alameda County Juvenile Hall renovation project. When Meridian and all of its programs were forced to move in the spring of 2007, Toyoji acted as a volunteer project manager for the renovation of our building at 535 Powell Street. Toyoji's guidance helped us shape the Performance Gallery which now houses the Meridian Music: Composers in Performance series. Last summer Toyoji led Meridian's teen Interns in Phase One of a project to create a garden behind the gallery, assisted by Andy Strain. We hope you can join us!

Join us on this evening to hear the author read from his new work and converse with Stewart Brandand Danny Hillis of The Long Now Foundation. We'll also have a special musical performance of math-based chanting created for Anathem by composer David Stutz. A book signing, reception and all-around celebration will follow (we'll have a cash bar too). Additional copies of the book will also be for sale at the event, but we can only guarantee that pre-ordered books will be signed. The concept behind *Anathem* germinated in 01999* when Danny Hillisasked Stephenson and several other contributors to sketch out their ideas of what Long Now's 10,000 Year Clock might look like. Stephenson tossed off a quick sketch and promptly forgot about it. Five years later, however, when he was between projects, the idea came back to him and he began to explore the possibility of building a novel around it - *Anathem* is the result. "It is a great story, set in an alternative reality where people take long-term thinking seriously." -Danny Hillis "Long Now's 10,000-year clock inspired Neal Stephenson's new story, *Anathem *, and now *Anathem* is inspiring the Long Now. In ten centuries, no one will be sure which came first." -Kevin Kelly Additional information on The Long Now Foundation, Neal Stephenson and * Anathem* can be found here: http://kk.org/ct2/2008/08/neal-stephenson-and-the-10000y.php http://blog.longnow.org/2008/07/21/anathem-and-long-now/ http://blog.longnow.org/2008/08/19/neal-stephenson-king-of-the-worlds/ *About the Long Now Foundation:* The Long Now Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 01996* to creatively foster long-term thinking and responsibility in the framework of the next 10,000 years. *The Long Now Foundation uses five digit dates, the extra zero is to solve the deca-millennium bug which will come into effect in about 8,000 years. -- Austin Brown The Long Now Foundation austin at longnow.org ph. 415.561.6582 x3 fx. 415.561.6297 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
