Using a common Tascam four-track and a microcassette dictaphone, he twists his able nylon-string guitar into shapes both unrecognizable and familiar, from pastoral soundscapes to glitchy wails. With training in flamenco, classical and jazz as well as experience in the loud rock and experimental music worlds, Shawn's impromptu creations are nothing if not varied, and intelligible in spite of their chaotic nature. Jonathan Segel is a composer, performer and multi-instrumentalist. He plays guitar, violin, computer, electric bass and sings. He has played with Camper Van Beethoven, Sparklehorse, Eugene Chadbourne, Sideways and Dieselhed, among others. Today he performs improvising acoustic/digital solo (and previously in the duo Chaos Butterfly with Dina Emerson), in a revivified Camper Van Beethoven and as a rock & roll band leader in his eponymous band.

Highlighted this evening will be selections composed for two separate weddings, in addition to other solo works displaying Shawn's background in flamenco, classical, experimental, and ambient music. Daryl Shawn moved from his long-time home in San Francisco to the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca in 2004. Leaving behind his successful Bay Area rock band Maxwell Horse, he turned to the nylon-string guitar and began composing solo works, including complete suites of music for two weddings. Returning now to the States for a two-month tour of both coasts to celebrate the release of a new instrumental recording, his eclectic talents are displayed in performances ranging from acoustic coffeeshop sets to free jazz collaborations. Regardless of the situation, he infuses his original compositions with a sophisticated harmonic touch, flamenco technique and an emotional sensibility most often found in rock. Listening to the music, you might think of Jose Gonzalez and Michael Hedges mixed with Bob Mould and even a little Thurston Moore. He studied jazz composition and performance at Berklee College of Music, in addition to private classical and flamenco training. ? http://www.swanwelder.com http://www.darylshawn.com Meridian Gallery 535 Powell Street (b/t Sutter and Bush) San Francisco, CA 94108 415.398.7229 www.meridiangallery.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

All instruments are welcome. RSVPing with Matt Davignon (mattdavignon at gmail.com) is appreciated but not mandatory. KRIS TINER is active on the West Coast as a trumpet player, composer, and improviser. His music has been described as "extraordinarily inventive" by Signal to Noise, and Cadence Magazine calls him "a really compelling voice." He has performed at concert venues and festivals throughout North America and Europe and appears on over 35 recordings. His own projects have been released on the Clean Feed, pfMENTUM, Nine Winds, and Evander Music labels. In addition to numerous interdisciplinary collaborations involving dance, poetry and spoken word, visual art, film, and animation he has recorded music for radio, television, and motion picture scores and his trumpet playing has been heard on MTV and Comedy Central. His primary musical projects include the Empty Cage (formerly MTKJ) Quartet and TIN/BAG, a duo collaboration with Brooklyn guitarist Mike Baggetta. Kris is a regular member of the Industrial Jazz Group and the Los Angeles Trumpet Quartet, and he has performed and/or recorded with a broad range of creative musicians including Vinny Golia, Wadada Leo Smith, Leroy Jenkins, Gerry Hemingway, Nels Cline, Ken Filiano, Kraig Grady, Jeff Kaiser, G.E. Stinson, Tatsuya Nakatani, Joe LaBarbera, Lukas Ligeti and Phillip Greenlief. A California native, Kris holds an MFA in African-American Improvisational Music from California Institute of the Arts. He has lectured on both music and visual art, and currently directs the jazz program and teaches courses in jazz and American popular music at Bakersfield College. Described as a 'percussive dervish' (Coda) DONALD ROBINSON is a technical master of the drums. He is a stalwart of the of San Francisco bay area avant-garde jazz scene, playing and recording with many of the area's improvisational players, from saxophonists John Tchicai, Marco Eneidi and Larry Ochs to koto player Miya Masaoka and pianist Matthew Goodheart, and with prominent visitors like Cecil Taylor, Wadada Leo Smith, George Lewis, trumpeter Raphe Malik and Canadian pianist Paul Plimley. Much of this work has featured the combination of Robinson and bassist Lisle Ellis as rhythm section: 'the best bass-drums tag team on the scene' (Jazz Times). His longest musical association, dating from the 1970's, was with the late tenor saxophonist Glenn Spearman. Born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1953, Robinson first studied classical percussion at the New England Conservatory. During the early 1970's he served his musical apprenticeship in the jazz world of Paris, studying with Kenny Clarke and playing with Alan Silva, Anthony Braxton, Oliver Lake and Bobby Few among many others. He first played with Spearman as a duet partner during this period in Paris, an association which continued through various configurations and many recordings until the saxophonist's death in 1998. Robinson is currently playing in many configurations with a broad range of musicians throughout Europe and the US.

Rediscovered by Sonic Youth's guitarist Thurston Moore for the rock audience, Hooker returned to a more abstract and free-form kind of creative improvisation in the main works of his prolific middle age: Darkness (november 1992) and The Spirits Return (april 1994) on the live Radiation, by Hooker's band featuring Donald Miller (Borbetomagus), electronic musician Brian Doherty, Compo, Kono; a duet with Moore (Sirius) and an electroacoustic duet with guitarist Elliott Sharp (The Hat) on Shamballa (1993), and recordings with Zeena Parkins, Billy Bang, and Lee Renaldo (Sonic Youth), DJ Olive, and Christian Marclay. The albums with Ranaldo were heavily influenced by his screeching sounds, just like the albums with Donald Miller were heavily influenced by his turbulent wall of noise. Armageddon (february 1995) marked a change in direction, both because the improvisations turned towards a more sophisticated kind of soundpainting and because the stylistic palette expanded dramatically, ranging from a dadaistic duet with turntablist Gregor "DJ Olive" Asch to the 16-minute free jam State Secrets for drums and two guitars. http://www.scaruffi.com/vol5/hooker.html About the film: Oscar Micheaux was an independent filmmaker and entrepeneur, whose earliest and most significant films were responses to D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation," portraying the African-American struggle against white racism and the KKK. These films were "Within Our Gates" (1919) and "Symbol of the Unconquered" (1920), both lost for decades and restored in the 1990s. In Symbol of the Unconquered, the black hero holds his ground and chivalrously protects a lovely light-skinned mulatta neighbor (who is passing as white) as a local gang of thieves and hooded, torch-carrying Klansmen plots to frighten him, steal his land and finally, to kill him. Though how they do it remains unknown due to a key missing reel, the amorous "black" couple emerges from the ordeal unscathed and thrilled to discover their shared racial identity. Laced within these (and many other) Micheaux melodramas are themes of inter- and intra-racial tensions and hatred, many of which are expressed sexually. About the Weasel Walter Quintet: This quintet featuring five idiosyncratic, skilled improvisers from the bay area scene creates a music that tempers microscopic detail and nuance with bloodyminded humor and chaos. Bizarre studies in insanity and asymmetry featuring vocals, the entire range of the clarinet family, trumpet and duelling percussionists.

Voices - Sarah Elena Palmer Sarah Elena Palmer is a singer, composer, and poet living in Oakland. She has her BA in Music from Mills College. Her musical heroes are also her friends. After working as both a sound designer and engineer at Emerson College, and receiving a BA in Audio/ Radio Ronald began to foster an appetite for alternative forms of sensory exploration. Living and working as a Media artist and Sonic Sculptor in San Francisco Ronald now works on a variety of solo efforts as well as collaborating with both national and international artists. Under the monikers ?0010 reversed? and ? the battery davis? Rose juxtaposes found sounds, circuit bent instruments, synthesis, and prepared instruments. Weaving delicate yet methodical constructions that progress in an arc, he draws upon influences ranging from music concrete, hip-hop, to tape music. His media and installation work has focused on the exploration of socially understood relationships. Covering topics ranging from the family dynamics of children calling home, to the use of violence in cartoons as implicit of the nature of violence in our culture. Using software to create generative visual content, Ronald shaped meaning through his integration of sonic texture. In recent years Rose has taken an interest in circuit bending, along with building hand made electronic instruments. Continuing to grow as an artist Ronald has taken old ideas and attempted to seek out new approaches, by removing expectation he hopes to continue to search out new modes of aesthetic experience.

Readings at City Lights Bookstore George E. Lewis Tuesday, July 29, 2008, 7 pm discussing A Power Stronger Than Itself: The AACM and American Experimental Music published by University of Chicago Press Founded in 1965 and still active today, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) is an American institution with an international reputation. From its working-class roots on the South Side of Chicago, the AACM went on to forge an extensive legacy of cultural and social experimentation, crossing both musical and racial boundaries. The success of individual members and ensembles such as Muhal Richard Abrams, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and Anthony Braxton has been matched by the enormous influence of the collective itself in inspiring a generation of musical experimentalists. George E. Lewis, who joined the collective as a teenager in 1971, establishes the full importance and vitality of the AACM with this communal history, written with a symphonic sweep that draws on a cross- generational chorus of voices and a rich collection of rare images. Faced with shrinking economic opportunities in Chicago and a segregated music industry, the original members of the AACM found inspiration in the civil rights movement's call for change through self-determination and collective action.

Noyes and Mark Miller (both on drums), featuring various cohorts like Arto Lindsay, John Zorn, Bill Laswell, Elliott Sharp, (as Mark would say, "anybody who would lower themselves to playing with us.") The band started as an improvised music duo of clattering percussion, fireworks and noise before transforming itself into a messy no wave band featuring the creme of the '80s NYC downtown scene. Tonight's homage paying ensemble, features Miller and Noyes, with Henry Kaiser (guitar), Allen Whitman (bass), Anantha R. Krishnan (mridangam), and Chris Muir (Buchla synth). Flavorpill writes about Oakland?s Oaxacan ?Oaxacan understands that noise is a matter of texture and timbre not just plugging in your effects pedals and turning all the amps to ten. Like kindred experimentalists Double Leopards or Climax Golden Twins, Oaxacan prefer night swimming in murky, inky pools of gauzy per cussion and reverb-drenched vocal abstraction.? Sunday, August 3 Vinny Golia - Damon Smith - Weasel Walter trio + Alicia Byer solo & with guests 8pm, $6-10 Vinny Golia , the internationally noted multi-instrumentalist, composer and bandleader has become an important contributor to the vanguard of creative music. As a composer he fuses the rich heritage of jazz, contemporary classical and world music into his own unique compositions. Putting down the paint brushes of a visual artist in 1971, Golia devoted himself full-time to music and has since evolved into one of the world's most celebrated creative jazz artists. At the forefront of improvised music, he plays twenty different woodwinds, plus various ethnic aerophones. Golia performs a trio with Damon Smith (bass) and Weasel Walter (drums). Local clarinettist, Alicia Byer opens the show with solos and duos with other improvisers. From moestaiano1 at yahoo.com Thu Jul 31 13:56:11 2008 From: moestaiano1 at yahoo.com (Moe!
