In this visually stunning exploration, Herzog travels to the Antarctic community of McMurdo Station, headquarters of the National Science Foundation and home to eleven hundred people during the austral summer (Oct-Feb). Over the course of his journey, Herzog examines human nature and Mother nature, juxtaposing breathtaking locations with the profound, surreal, and sometimes absurd experiences of the marine biologists, physicists, plumbers, and truck drivers who choose to form a society as far away from society as one can get.

This year features special guests John Butcher (UK) and Carla Kihlstedt (US) in two evenings of solos, duos, trios and quintets at the historic Hillside Club in Berkeley; a children's matinee at the Museum of Children's Art in Oakland, and a master class with visiting artist John Butcher. Proceeds from these benefit performances support the Matthew Sperry Memorial Fund. http://matthewsperry.org/2003/06/14/fund/.

Matthew was a father, husband, and bass player, who touched and left lasting impressions on everyone he met. Since then his many friends in the Bay Area music community have organized annual performances in his memory. From the original, spontaneous convening of grieving musicians at 21 Grand in June 2003 the Festival has grown to include national and international artists drawn from Matthew's vast circle of inspiration and collaboration: from Tom Waits to M.C. Schmidt, Swedish musician and inventor, Johannes Bergmark to local composer and cellist Theresa Wong, who used Matthew's bicycle as an electro-acoustic instrument. SperryFest, organized by musicians and Sperry collaborators Gino Robair and John Shiurba, convenes the Bay Area creative music community not simply in remembrance and reunion, but as a catalyst for new work and uncommon musical events. Each year the festival releases another recording from Matthew's unpublished discography, and pulls from Matthew's notebooks for inspiration. This year's festival poster is built around Matthew's line drawing, and a quick sketch of a Jurassic karaoke machine called "Treasure Mouth" ignited a partnership between SperryFest and the Musuem of Children's Art in Oakland to host the Festival's first children's matinee / art workshop. Treasure Mouth requires a band to follow along to lyrics as fast as they can be written out for them by others. A house band of some of the Bay Area's most creative musicians will assemble in the Mocha Courtyard to receive written instructions from the littlest lyricists. Oh. One more thing. Matthew gave great hugs. About the Artists John Butcher [http://www.johnbutcher.org.uk] John Butcher's music ranges through free improvisation, composition, multitracked saxophone pieces and work with live electronics, amplification and feedback. He is well known as a solo performer, recently exploiting extreme acoustics, and has composed pieces for Chris Burn's Ensemble, Polwechsel, the Elision Ensemble and the Rova Saxophone Quartet. He started playing the saxophone whilst studying physics, but, after finishing a doctorate on quantum chromodynamics he left academia in 1982 and went off with music - working with Burn, John Russell, Phil Durrant, Paul Lovens and Radu Malfatti. In the early '90s he joined what became the final version of John Stevens' Spontaneous Music Ensemble and also began playing with Derek Bailey and Phil Minton. Electronic music was an early influence on his approach to saxophone playing, and became explicit in his electromanipulation duo with Durrant, and, more recently, in duos with Christof Kurzmann and Toshimaru Nakamura. Some current projects include Thermal with EX guitarist Andy Moor & Thomas Lehn, The Contest of Pleasures with Axel Doerner and Xavier Charles, and duos with Steve Beresford, Gerry Hemingway, Rhodri Davies, Paal Nilssen-Love, Gino Robair, John Edwards and Eddie Prevost. Butcher continues to play in many occasional, sometimes just one-off encounters - ranging from large groups such as Butch Morris' London Skyscraper, Radu Malfatti's Orkestra and the EX Orkestra, to duo concerts with Fred Frith, Akio Suzuki, and Otomo Yoshihide. Carla Kihlstedt [http://www.myspace.com/carlakihlstedt] Carla Kihlstedt enjoys many kinds of music with many kinds of people. Most recently, these people have included Fred Frith, Zeena Parkins, Matthias Bossi, Colin Jacobsen, and Lisa Bielawa. She also enjoys what happens when people form groups. Some of her favorite such groups that she works with are The Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, 2 Foot Yard, Tin Hat, The Book of Knots, The ROVA Saxophone Quartet, San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, and Cosa Brava. She is in the process of starting her own label for her own music (Twelve Cups), as a way of sidestepping the evils of the recorded music industry and losing her own damn money. In three days time, she will make a record with Matthias Bossi and Shahzad Ismaily called Causing a Tiger, based on field recordings that she has collected on her travels. Later this month, she will record with one of her favorite musicians, Satoko Fujii. (The resulting CD will come out on Tzadik later this year.) She has also been working very hard on a staged song cycle called Necessary Monsters (featuring Nina Rolle, Theresa Wong, Freddi Price, Michael Mellender, Matthias Bossi, Chris Fisher-Lochhead, and the words of Rafael Oses) that she hopes to bring to the Bay Area next year. Fred Frith [http://fredfrith.com] Composer, improviser and multi-instrumentalist, has situated himself for more than thirty years in the area where rock music and new music meet. Co-founder of the British underground band Henry Cow (1968-78), he moved to New York in the late seventies and came into contact with many of the musicians with whom he's since been associated, including, for example, John Zorn, Ikue Mori, Tom Cora, Zeena Parkins, and Bob Ostertag. Fourteen years in New York gave rise to groups like Massacre (with Bill Laswell and Fred Maher), Skeleton Crew (with Tom and Zeena), and Keep the Dog, a sextet performing an extensive repertoire of Fred's compositions. In the eighties Fred began to write for dance, film, and theatre, and this in turn has led to his composing for Rova Sax Quartet, Ensemble Modern, Arditti Quartet, Asko Ensemble, and many other groups, including his own critically acclaimed Guitar Quartet. Best known world-wide as an improvising guitarist, Fred has also performed in a variety of other contexts, playing bass in John Zorn's Naked City, violin in Lars Hollmer's Looping Home Orchestra, and guitar on recordings ranging from The Residents and Rene Lussier to Brian Eno and Amy Denio. Fred is the subject of Nicolas Humbert and Werner Penzels' award-winning documentary film Step Across the Border. He is currently Professor of Composition at Mills College in Oakland, California.

NEW LOCATION !! ] 351 shotwell st, san francisco http://sfSound.org/series Please join us for the first concert of sfSoundSeries2008. Continuing our interest in presenting improvised music alongside complex notated compositions, this program features renowned english saxophone virtuoso John Butcher and works by John Cage, Kaija Saariaho, and Stanford-Brazilian composer Bruno Ruviaro. "In the world of saxophone music, players using extended techniques to make unusual sounds with the horn are common, but few have established a voice as original as John Butcher's. His saxophone acts as an extension of his own voice as he employs such techniques as growling and flutter tonguing to make his saxophone talk, sing, cry, whisper and laugh. What is more impressive is how he has incorporated all of this into a musical language that is both complicated and accessible. One of the central figures in Europe's avant-garde music scene." - SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN PROGRAM: "Seis V?cios de Garl?ndia" (2006) Bruno Ruviaro (b.1976) Matt Ingalls - Eb clarinet, Bb clarinet, and Bass Clarinet, Monica Scott - cello, Loren Mach - percussion, Christopher Jones - conductor "Sept Papillons" (2000) Kaija Saariaho (b.1952) Monica Scott - cello "Fourteen" (1990) John Cage (1912-1992) Christopher Jones - bowed piano Diane Grubbe - bass flute/piccolo, Kyle Bruckmann - oboe, Matt Ingalls - bass clarinet, John Ingle - alto saxophone, David Bithell - trumpet, Andy Strain - trombone, Loren Mach - percussion, Gino Robair - percussion, Cynthia Mei - violin, Erik Ulman - violin, Alexa Beattie - viola, Monica Scott - cello, Richard Worn - contrabass [ Tonight's performance of "Fourteen" is dedicated to Toyoji Tomita ] -- interval -- Solo Improvisation (2008) John Butcher (b.1954) John Butcher - saxophones Group Improvisation (2008) John Butcher (b.1954) / sfSoundGroup (est. 1999) John Butcher - saxophones Kyle Bruckmann - oboe, Matt Ingalls - bass clarinet, John Ingle - alto saxophone, David Bithell - trumpet, Andy Strain - trombone, Gino Robair - percussion, Christopher Jones - piano, Graeme Jennings - violin, Erik Ulman - violin, Monica Scott - cello NOTES: Bruno Ruviaro, composer and pianist from S?o Paulo, Brazil, was born in 1976, and has lived in 18 different places: Rua Theodureto Souto, Rua Cajati, Casa do Seu Dem?trio, Rua S?o Borja, Rua James Adam, Alameda dos Uirapurus, Avenida Modesto Fernandes, Avenida Santa Izabel, Rua Nuno ?lvares Pereira, Rua Prof. Djalma Bento, Rua Dr. Nestor Esteves Natividade, Rua Major Diogo, North Park Street, Jericho Street, Olmsted Road, Thoburn Court, Comstock Circle, Via Parma. There are six vices of composition (...): the mixing of comedy and tragedy in the same part of the work, unsuitable digressions, obscure brevity, unsuitable mixing of styles, improper mixing of subjects, and the use of endings not suitable to the type of writing. ? De Arte prosayca, metrica, et rithmica (13th century treatise), by John of Garland. Kaija Saariaho studied visual arts before turning fully to composition. After completing her undergraduate course at the Sibelius Academy, she studied with Brian Ferneyhough and Klaus Huber at the Musikhochschule in Freiburg. Shortly thereafter she went to the electronic music studio IRCAM in Paris, and has made her home in France ever since. In addition to numerous international awards, Saariaho has been named Composer of the Year 2008 by Musical America, and has received recent major commissions from the Boston Symphony. She will have her opera Adriana Mater (which has just been premiered in Helsinki) performed at the Santa Fe Opera in the summer of 2008. Sept Papillons was commissioned for Anssi Karttunen in 2000 by the Rudolf Steiner Foundation. Written during the rehearsal period of her opera L?Amour de loin in Salzburg, Austria, one can sense her desire to find a world which has nothing to to do with opera, either in style or language. From the metaphors of L?Amour de loin, all of which have a quality of the eternal - love, yearning and death - she moved in Sept Papillons to a metaphor of the ephemeral: the butterfly. Each piece dwells for a moment on different aspects of fragile and fleeting movement. After I had been studying with him for two years, Schoenberg said, "In order to write music, you must have a feeling for harmony." I explained to him that I had no feeling for harmony. He then said that I would always encounter an obstacle, that it would be as though I came to a wall through which I could not pass. I said, "In that case I will devote my life to beating my head against that wall." ? John Cage (1958) Most of my life I thought that I had to find an alternative to harmony, but the harmony I was thinking about was the one that had been taught at school. Now I see that everything outside of school is also harmonious. ? John Cage (1990) During the last five years of his life, John Cage composed almost 50 new works exploring his new interest in "anarchic harmony." Often referred to as "the number pieces," these works contain events (usually a single sound) with a "time bracket" specifying an allowable range in which the performers must decide when to begin and end the event. The titles of the pieces are simply the number of the performers. The works were composed using chance operations controlled by a computer program written by Andrew Culver. The 20- minute Fourteen is notable for its solo "bowed piano" part in which the strings are activated by resined fishing line. The "house band" of the sfSoundSeries, sfSoundGroup is comprised of a roster of instrumentalists who are all composers. One of the group's interests is combining and juxtaposing improvisation with conventional notation, and it is with great pleasure and excitement that the second half of tonight's concert is devoted to hearing the music of (and creating some music with) John Butcher. John Butcher (born 1954 in Brighton, England) is an English tenor and soprano saxophone player who has lived in London since the late 1970s. He began playing at the University of Surrey where he was studying physics. He received his PhD in theoretical physics with his thesis published as Spin effects in the production and weak decay of heavy Quarks. After that he left academia to focus on music. He began by playing conventional jazz (he has spoken of his initial skepticism concerning free improvisation), but quickly converted to a freer approach. He has taken the concern with the manipulation of multiphonics (split tones and false notes) bequeathed by earlier improvisers such as Evan Parker in new directions: though his earlier albums could be busy at times, he has come increasingly to focus on creating rich, slowly-changing strata of sounds (layers of hums, buzzes and brittle metallic noises). He has also experimented with the use of amplified saxophone and overdubbing (most notably on the solo album Invisible Ear). That said, he is also capable of playing quite lyrically: on soprano, especially, he will sometimes leaven a passage of abstraction with bursts of pennywhistle-like melody. Recently Butcher has become centrally involved in the form of rarefied, minimalist improvisation that has been dubbed "electroacoustic improvisation" or "lowercase", most notably as a member of the pioneering Austrian group Polwechsel. Other playing partners have included John Edwards, Simon Fell, Gino Robair, Georg Gawe, Gerry Hemingway, Elton Dean, Chris Burn, Jon Corbett, John Russell, Phil Durrant, Paul Lovens, Radu Malfatti, Phil Minton, and Toshimaru Nakamura. sfSound http://sfSound.org/series [ email matt at sfsound.org to be removed from this list ] From damon at balancepointacoustics.com Thu Jun 5 21:10:40 2008 From: damon at balancepointacoustics.com (Damon Smith) Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 21:10:40 -0700 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Solo 7 string/lloopp + Sextet References: <262333.24203.qm@web82015.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Message-ID: Saturday, Jun 7 2008 8:00 PM 21 Grand 416 25th St @Broadway Near 19th Street BART Oakland Sextet was created from the musical currents and ranks of large ensemble projects organized by Jacob Lindsay, including "Shut Up in the New Avant-Garde" and the "Jacob Lindsay Double Ensemble" as a forum in which to incorporate the dynamics of large ensemble music into a smaller group improvised music.

Breaking away from traditional Western practice, these composers use alternate tunings systems to explore the space between notes. Program: March 22, 2008 by Nicole Reisnour is a string quartet in four sections, each section exploring the character of a prime limit, the highest prime number used to generate the tuning for a collection of pitches. In order to create this expanding pitch environment the performers take their bows to other instruments (carefully tuned psalteries and wineglasses) as the piece progresses. Featuring Angela Hsu, Marielle Jakobsons, Emily Packard, and Heather Vorwerck. http://www.myspace.com/niccireisnour Netori 1-4 by Edward Schocker is for two electric guitars with ebow and wah-wah pedal. The guitars are used as drone instruments and to create counterpoints using the overtone series that arises through the drowned tones. Netori is a term used in Japanese Gagaku music. The word literally means ?sound catcher? and is a prelude in free rhythm to set the tonality for the music to follow. This piece works much in the same way as a traditional netori, but instead uses the relationships between two different overtone series to set the tonality. Featuring Edward Schocker and Wayne Grim on guitars. http://www.edwardschocker.com For Ava and Noah 2008 by Zachary James Watkins is a new work written for Ava Mendoza and Noah Phillips who are also the performers. For Ava and Noah 2008 is scored for two electric guitars each with a unique just intonation tuning. The score combines recorded cues, notation and free improvisation. http://zacharyjameswatkins.com ( M E R I D I A N G A L L E R Y ) Society for Art Publications of the Americas 535 Powell Street San Francisco CA 94108 info at meridiangallery.org www.meridiangallery.org 415 398 7229 phone 415 398 6176 fax From moestaiano1 at yahoo.com Mon Jun 9 00:06:54 2008 From: moestaiano1 at yahoo.com (Moe!

Say, to me, dear brother, try to make good of what the forces inside you have destroyed because of ill will, huger and the indefiniteness of circumstance.

The nice people at 21 Grand have been kind enough to offer them a venue in which to settle their differences. On June 13th, Bossi and Amendola will throw things at each other. The audience will be forced to watch. Whether or not this will lead to an understanding between the two men is yet to be determined. This absurd charade will cost the listening public a great deal of money. Carla Kihlstedt/Wellington Bowler Carla Kihlstedt and filmmaker Wellington Bowler bought a couple of Edirol R-09 digital sound devices and recorded the world while traveling in 2007. Rather than photographing their trips, they used the machines as a means for the collecting "audio snapshots" of their separate journeys. It was one way to answer inevitable questions like "Where were you?, How was your trip?, What was it like??. Upon returning home, they set up shop with Dan Rathbun at Polymorph Studios, and assembled their findings into an audio-travelogue/dreamscape. Each person's tracks where given an individual stereo pair and juxtaposed against the other person's sounds in a duet. The resulting piece premiered at the Music Unlimited Festival in Wels, Austria last winter under the title "CONCURRENCE." This will be its first U.S. audience.

Tides of processed percussion and voice cascade about you while grand themes unfold unto the horizon. In this vision, surf guitars make way for discordant soundscapes; electronic drones enter civil unions with folk melodies, and doom ascends from the abyss in riff form. Barn Owl forgo any organ romps, instead trading in haunted vocal incantations and spidery six strings above a storm of howl and the ghosts of spaghetti westerns set in forgotten cities. Gregg Kowalsky (laptop) and Agnes Szelag (cello, electronics) perform solo sets.

There, he focused on combining his studies with Fred Frith and Roscoe Mitchell in free improvisation and post-modern dance with Trisha Brown-descendent Shelley Senter to create a unique brand of performance. His latest project, "Resonant Migration," focuses on exploring the pedestrian movement of the trombonist and transforming it into a dance of it's own right. Until his move to the west coast, Andy lived in Stuttgart, Germany, for four years playing in various orchestras and chamber ensembles throughout the region. He also served as principal trombonist of the Monterrey, Mexico symphony orchestra for one year. There, he was able to develop and perform didactic concerts for school children which involved the seeds of movement he currently employs in his work. Jason Hoopes is an improviser (bass) and composer. He recently earned a MA from Mills College where he studied with Fred Frith, Zeena Parkins, Roscoe Mitchell, India Cooke, and Joelle Leandre. He performs/has performed with many Bay Area artists including Jordan Glenn, Andy Strain, Mike Dale, Amanda Schoofs, India Cooke, Charity Chan, Rhiannon Kirby, Lavinia Vago, and the late Toyoji Tomita. He plays bass in Oakland's The Atomic Bomb Audition and is working toward a MFA at Mills where he studies with Roscoe Mitchell. Noah Phillips enjoys playing guitar in any capacity for live audiences. He hopes to continue doing so as often as possible. David Michalak 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. Matt Davignon is an experimental/ambient musician living in Oakland, California. Originally born in Agawam, Massachusetts, Matt has been developing his own unique form of improvisation (for better or worse) since 1994. He spent his formative music years locked in a garage in Sonoma County, California, tinkering with tools such as lo-fi samplers, cassette tapes, contact microphones, household objects, extensive chains of guitar effects, prepared instruments, and field recordings. These explorations continued as he moved to San Francisco in 1997, then Oakland in 2001. In 2003, he discovered he could make more sounds than he could ever imagine by processing the sounds of a drum machine in real-time with various devices. This has been the focus of his work since then. Characteristics of his music include a focus on textures, arrhythmic patterns and musical imperfections, and a knack for evoking biological systems. www.ribosomemusic.com Cost : $6-10 ******************************************************************************** June26 8:00pm Phog Masheeen (Costa Mesa) & CD release - CJ Borosque + INSTAGON July 3 8:00pm Daryl Shawn (Oaxaca, Mexico) 9pm Jonathan Segel - violin & computer July 17 8:00pm Kris Tiner/Donald Robinson Duo July 24 8:00pm no Show Edgetone New Music Summit @ SFCMC ******************************************************************************** Outsound Presents is a emerging non-profit volunteer collective of explorative sound artists who, among other things, are involved in running performance venues, recording labels, and other D.I.Y. endeavors.

Admission is $10 Tickets at the door or through PayPal (http://www.pamelaz.com/ pendulum.html) On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 27th through 29th, 2008, at 8pm Pamela Z Productions presents Pamela Z in the San Francisco premiere of The Pendulum, a solo multi-media performance work exploring binaries of ?Yes and No? through voice, electronics, projected video and manipulation of objects. Using a minimal set including dangling objects, and two channels of projected video, Ms. Z will perform a series of art songs and text-sound pieces with live voice, real-time processing, sampled voices and sounds and custom MIDI controllers, in the intimate performance space of the Royce Gallery. About the inspiration for the work, the artist says: ?When I was growing up, my mother often wrote long lists of questions about things that concerned her. She would then dangle a small object -such as a needle, key, or trinket- on a thread and divine yes or no answers from the direction of its swinging - systematically writing the answers next to each question.

Admission is $10 Tickets at the door or through PayPal (http://www.pamelaz.com/ pendulum.html) (repeat posting without image attachment.) On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 27th through 29th, 2008, at 8pm Pamela Z Productions presents Pamela Z in the San Francisco premiere of The Pendulum, a solo multi-media performance work exploring binaries of ?Yes and No? through voice, electronics, projected video and manipulation of objects. Using a minimal set including dangling objects, and two channels of projected video, Ms. Z will perform a series of art songs and text-sound pieces with live voice, real-time processing, sampled voices and sounds and custom MIDI controllers, in the intimate performance space of the Royce Gallery. About the inspiration for the work, the artist says: ?When I was growing up, my mother often wrote long lists of questions about things that concerned her. She would then dangle a small object -such as a needle, key, or trinket- on a thread and divine yes or no answers from the direction of its swinging - systematically writing the answers next to each question. Now in her advanced years, I have found that she amassed a great deal of documentation of her consultations with the pendulum for answers to questions both monumental and insignificant.

Featuring Dominik Blum piano/electronics, Marino Pliakas guitar/electronics and Lucas Niggli percussion, this formidable Swiss group churns out a highly rhythmic and complex, but also unrepentantly anarchic, style of music that is largely improvised jazz. Steamboat has lots in common with fringe music phenomena such as psycho-blues, intellectualized punk, avant-garde hardcore and other forms of expression that could maybe be called art-noise. http://www.marinopliakas.com/mp3.html http://www.lucasniggli.ch/english/index.asp Kyle Bruckmann/Moe! Staiano/Weasel Walter Trio (double drums and electronics in a violent fast moving set of instant compositions) Dominique Leone's debut album evokes proudly hairy progressive rock overflowing with knotty rhythms, chords, and harmonies far beyond the realm of laptop-reliant 21st-century dabblers. It slices up old prog epics and splices them together with heartfelt singer-songwriter moments. Fond of keyboard riffs that rise and fall like merry-go-round horses, Leone spins carnivalesque tunes as bright as his will to subvert their sunshine is strong: Despite their one-man choirs, his songs' unconventional structures and severe mood swings circumvent reliable choruses. http://www.myspace.com/dominiqueleone Cost : $6-10 From jacobmakesnoise at yahoo.com Thu Jun 19 15:21:42 2008 From: jacobmakesnoise at yahoo.com (Jacob Lindsay) Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2008 15:21:42 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [NewMusicEvents] scared vs. dismissive Message-ID: <77903.53208.qm@web58005.mail.re3.yahoo.com> I don't think a lot of folks are scared of radical music. They are just dismissive of it. here's a question: does music have to scare people to be radical? if music is scary does that make it radical? there is certainly music that is both radical and scary (ayler's bells and brotzmann's machine gun come to mind). imagine walking into a performance of either of those in the late sixties and not really knowing what to expect. you might be scared. you might like being scared.

Phog Masheeen is a mix of pulse driven clipping, music concrete? style ambience and public service announcements. By utilizing a trumpet with a particular focus on the incidental sounds that the instrument produces, the resonating springs, clattering loose valve caps and the clunking of valves have become part of the sonic pallet. Beautiful Is about nature, its cruelty? its horror and its fragility. The spider on the cover is meant to convey both the astonishing power of life as well as its destructive force. Throughout the career of CJ Borosque she has offered up her noise-ventures as singular commentary of psychological states of being that come from the intersection of her consciousness with society and the tensions and conflicts that arise from that conflict. This album in neither nihilistic nor dystopian, but is instead a celebration of the vitality of the animal world and the veracity of nature. These tracks represent the wanderings of a mad mind that is illuminated by understanding on the brink of twilight. With this album CJ embraces her fear of madness and her fear of death and brings the beauty of both within the reach of the listening observer. This album is about the reconciliation of the human consciousness with the powerful and dark forces of the unconscious? CJ is an avant garde sound sculptor, noise artist and video-maker?who resides in the SF Bay Area?and lives for new music, silent films, Japanese horror films kung fu films and any films really?she derives her musical inspiration from Madness, sanity, love, loss, anguish deformed mental imagery, humor and immanence. She loves her cat, despises war and respects both violent and peaceful aesthetic approaches to art as long as they have content and deliver an impact that inspires.
