  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.

  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,
  MaryClare earned her BA in Composition / Electronic

  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).
