Some words:

RTD3 - Rare appearance by this trio! Come on out!
Hell, come on out for the whole shebang, should be a
really great night!!! (wine, cookies, and new music
all included)

RTD3, with Doug Carroll (cello), Ron Heglin
(trombone, tuba, voice), and Tom Nunn (homemade
instruments) is thoughtful, introspective,
often quiet, following subtle turns and nuances
through sonic terrains of notable diversity.

rock star and ex catholic-school girl. She hails from
the outskirts of Cleveland, Ohio and now lives in
Oakland, California. where she teaches Do-Re-Mi to
dozens of future piano monsters right out of her home.
MaryClare’s music takes listeners through noise,
salsa, improvisation, microtonality, rock guitar
licks, and laptop manipulations. She is the queen of
B-bands: Bolivar Zoar, Byznich, and Bebe Donkey, which
span out kitchfolk, electronic minimalism, and pseudo
Christianic loungcore. She is 1/3 of the legendary all
female free improvisation outfit: Slow, Children and
has toured internationally in clubs, music festivals,
flute gatherings, and academic institutions. In 2006,

Damon Smith (upright bass and movement)

Double bass, Improviser. Born Damon Jesse Smith on
oct. 17th, 1972 in Spokane, WA. Did "freestyle bmx"
bicycle riding from age 13 to 23. Started music in
1991, under the influence of Mike Watt (fIREHOSE & the
minutemen) on fender bass. Lead several punk/art rock
combos until 1994. Upon receiving Peter Kowald's
landmark lp "Duos;Europa," Damon sold the fender bass
and concentrated solely on double bass and free music.
Damon'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. He
also collects recordings, specifically creative music,
jazz and double bass music, and feels this is an
important influence on his work ("my roots are in my
record player"- evan parker).
