Kasper Collin (Sweden, 2005. 79min; DVCam) http://www.mynameisalbertayler.com/ Director Kasper Collin is scheduled to be present at each screening for Q&A. SYNOPSIS: My Name is Albert Ayler is a new documentary about the prophetic free jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler, who today is seen as one of the most important innovators in jazz. Ayler was obsessed with his radical music and by the thought that people one day would understand it, as he said in his own words "If people don't like it now, they will." In 1962 he recorded his first album in Sweden. Eight years later he was found dead in New York's East River, aged 34. The documentary follows the trail of Albert Ayler from his native town of Cleveland to New York by way of Sweden, meeting family, friends and colleagues who help tell the story of his life and music. Ayler himself guides us with his voice and music. Seven years in the making, the film includes newly discovered footage of Albert Ayler and his band. "Remarkable!" - The New Yorker "Beautiful feature debut ... brings Ayler and his message of spiritual unity back to life" - The Village Voice "Heartbreaking as it is, this film is a rarity and not to be missed."- All About Jazz SHOWTIMES: Sunday: 2:00, 4:00, 7:15, 9:15 Monday and Tuesday: 7:15, 9:15 TICKETS: Regular $8.50, $6.50 at 2:00 bargain matinees, $5 for seniors and children at all times.

He began again in 1979, playing exclusively free improvisation. He began Spring Garden Music as a vehicle for organizing an improvisational music community, and is still active in encouraging the improvised music scene in Phila. Touring in the US and Europe since 1982 (called the "Johnny Appleseed of Free Improvisation"), he currently plays with about fifty partners, bringing European musicians to the US for collaborations with Americans. These days he is playing mostly alto and soprano saxophones, and as a musical explorer his music ranges widely in vocabulary, depending on the situation and partners. He lives in Easton PA, which enables him to commute easily to NYC and Phila. He has released 35 recordings, samples of which are available at his website. Jack is no stranger to the West Coast, and has been an ardent advocate of bringing east and west coast musicians together. His first visit as a musician was in 1982, when he came in search of players, and found Ron Heglin, John Grundfest, Henry Kuntz, Greg Goodman and a few others. He kept coming and soon met and performed with Tom Djll, John Shiurba, Ron Anderson, Dan Plonsey and a slew of other now "old guard" improv contortionists. From 1985 to 2003 he drove or flew in at least once a year, bringing players from the east coast like Bhob Rainey to play in the large ensemble of Djll, Stackpole, Heglin, Ingalls, Sperry, Guberman and Shiurba, who recorded it for his label. After 2000 he met up with long-time partner Bob Marsh, who by then had moved to the Bay Area. In March will be his first visit to California since 2004; besides the group at the Luggage Store he will be playing on various occasions with Bob Marsh, Charity Chan, Matthew Goodheart, and his Italian percussionist partner, Fabrizio Spera.

Having a face in the back of one's head. Suicidal thoughts. Why do we do what we do? Because we can't do otherwise? One thing's for sure: it's a crazy world. So come celebrate the craziness with Alexis Alrich, Michael Cooke, Philip Freihofner, Dan Reiter, Martha Stoddard, Erling Wold, and the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra as they present "March Madness"! Program: Alexis Alrich......................Fragile Forests: II Cambodia Michael Cooke..................Sun & Moon Philip Freihofner................The Bell Field Dan Reiter.........................Toccata and Fugue Martha Stoddard................A Little Trip to Outer Space Erling Wold.......................Mordake Suite No. 2 Michael Cooke's Sun & Moon is a dizzying take on time and place, with members of the orchestra performing spacilly and spatially at the point-and-click discretion of Music Director Mark Alburger. Martha Stoddard, as Guest Conductor, will take the ensemble even farther out in A Little Trip to Outer Space where reality has lost its bearings. The entire orchestra will evaporate in the clangor of metal as Philip Freihofner re-invents sanity in The Bell Field, while Dan Reiter's Toccata and Fugue will send minds reeling under the direction of Associate Conductor John Kendall Bailey toward a reckoning with Johann Sebastian Bach. Farthest afield on earth will be Alexis Alrich's Fragile Forests: II Cambodia, where East and West consciousnesses collide in the loveliest possible manner. And, as a final coup-de-grace Erling Wold will evoke the diabolical in Mordake Suite No. 2, in hint of his mad opera to be premiered later in the year.

Jack Wright... "...plays a lot of different ways, from free jazz to no-recognizable-sax-sound... Although his de-professionalized approach sets him apart from most musicians at his level of accomplishment, his art has always grown, expanded, and synthesized new information. He is unquestionably an original and virtuosic saxophonist, a master improviser who is deeply lyrical, with humor never far away... His vast list of collaborators includes some "name" luminaries (William Parker, Axel Dorner, Michel Doneda, Andrea Neumann, Denman Maroney, Bhob Rainey to name a few) but more significant are the many obscure greats he has played with." http://www.springgardenmusic.com/jackbio.html http://www.myspace.com/jacobfelix http://heule.us/breakthrough/ From damon at outgun.com Thu Mar 6 17:41:22 2008 From: damon at outgun.com (damon palermo) Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2008 17:41:22 -0800 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] 0th (members of zeek sheek) Message-ID: <20080307014122.E8FFDCBE77@ws5-11.us4.outblaze.com> FRIDAY 3/14 7pm $5 MI AMI record release with MI AMI 0th (members of zeek sheek) Steve Summers (confusedhouse.org) MAX D (1/3 Food For Animals) Dusted's Doug Mosurock dissects the new LP from Television Ghost and stumbles upon a dark punk trend in this installment of Still Single...

Matthew Goodheart: A native of the San Francisco Bay Area composer, improviser, and pianist, Matthew Goodheart explores a variety of contemporary music forms, from free improvisation to strictly notated chamber music. His broad foundation, technical innovations, and compositional sensitivity have allowed him to develop a solid reputation as both a solo performer and collaborative artist. His career began early; by his mid-teens he was performing regularly, both as soloist and with various music groups, and at the age of 17 received his first composition commission to write music for a contemporary theater production. During this time, he studied with noted composer, theorist, and author W. A. Mathieu. Following high school, he spent 2 years at New York University?s Tisch School of the Arts, studying performance and sound-design, where he continued to work professionally. Dissatisfied with the narrow focus of a performing arts degree, he returned to California and enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley as an English Literature major. He was promptly commissioned by the theater department there to create a score for the expressionist play A Night In Old Market. While at Berkeley, he also began to delve deeply into jazz and began studying with the notable jazz pianist and educator Susan Muscarella. He graduated from Berkeley Phi Beta Kappa, with highest honors. Soon after leaving Berkeley, he met saxophonist and composer Glenn Spearman and began a long association and friendship that terminated with Spearman?s death in 1998. Through Spearman, he was introduced to a great assortment of local and international musicians, including Lisle Ellis, Donald Robinson, Raph? Malik, Wadada Leo Smith, Marco Eneidi, Larry Ochs and many others. He also met several of the faculty of Mills College, and decided to enroll there. While earning his M.A. in music composition, Goodheart studied with Alvin Curran, Chris Brown, Annea Lockwood, George Lewis, Christian Wolff, and many others. He also continued his classical piano studies with Claudio Arrau student and master-teacher Goodwin Sammel. The last decade has seen a great variety of projects from Goodheart. He has recorded several CDs, all of which have received high critical praise. He has also continued performing contemporary piano works, including Maggi Payne?s Minutia, Jos? Maceda?s Music for Four Winds and Two Pianos, Morton Feldman?s Atlantis and For Bunita Marcus, and Glenn Spearman?s Untitled Work for Solo Piano. He performed his works throughout the US, Canada and Europe, including the Klasppstuhlfest and Festival Frei Improvisiertor Musik in, Germany, the International Spectral Music Conference, in Istanbul, Turkey, the Illuminations New Music & Arts Festival, Michigan, the Opus 415Festival in San Francisco, and many others. Ever evolving, he has become focused increasingly on chamber composition. The last three years have seen an ongoing series of ?studies,? focusing on the use of microtonality based on ?individualistic instrumental properties? to create evocative and idiosyncratic harmonic and timbral worlds. In addition to his artistic career, he has published a number of articles, and has taught privately and at a variety of institutions, including Mills College, the University of California at Berkeley, and the East Bay Center for Performing Arts. He has also received a number of awards, including a feature at the New Langton Arts Awards Show, an Individual Artist Grant by the Marin Arts Council, and a residency at the Djerassi Resident Artists? Program. Jack Wright Over the past twenty-five years Jack Wright has been a bold saxophonist, as well as an influential musical personality. Either on tour or organizing the next one, he has played in virtually every venue available to experimental improvised music in the US, and many in Europe as well. In 1982 he began Spring Garden Music as a vehicle for organizing an improvisational music community, which continues to grow through regular No Net weekend sessions. He has been called the Johnny Appleseed of free improvisation for his encouragement to young players. As a musical explorer as well, his music passes through radical shifts of style and approach from one year to the next, yet always somehow identifiable as his own. These days he is playing mostly alto and soprano saxophones, in every possible direction, sometimes even recognizable as such. He lives in Easton, which enables him to commute easily to NYC and Phila. He is also increasingly active in Europe, touring both sides of the Atlantic with European musicians. The Washington Post says, "In the rarefied, underground world of experimental free improvisation, saxophonist Jack Wright is king". And a German publication, Bad Alchemy, had this to say of his solo: "Wright does not make music, he embodies it, he transforms it with a naivet? of another order. It grows into a sound river, he is part of the diaphragm through which the heterogeneous whispers." Jack has over sixty partners around the US and in Europe with whom he plays on his travels and records. His most recent tours have been with French soprano sax player Michel Doneda and percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani in Japan, France and the US; with Agnes Palier and Olivier Toutlemond in the US, France, Switzerland and Germany; with Carol Genetti, sound vocalist of Chicago, and Jon Mueller, percussionist of Milwaukee in the US and Europe; with Fabrizio Spera and Alberto Braida in Italy; with Michael Johnsen and Sebastien Cirotteau in the US and Europe; cellist Bob Marsh of the Bay area; Nate Wooley, trumpet, of NYC in Europe; Michael Griener percussion and Sabine Vogel flute of Berlin; Reuben Radding, NYC bassist; and Phil Durrant, English laptop musician.

Philip Gelb and Jie Ma formed a duet in January 2007. They have a unique combination of shakuhachi (Japanese flute) and pipa (Chinese plucked string instrument). Their music employs ideas from the traditions of each instrument as well as musical forms of Jewish and Islamic musical traditions. Both musicians are avid improvisers with a vast background in different styles and forms. For their Meridian performance, they will present compositions by Anthony Braxton, Bela Bartok and traditional Jewish pieces.

The Magik Markers formed in Hartford, CT, in 2001, featuring new Bay Area-resident, guitarist/vocalist Elisa Ambrogio, drummer Pete Nolan, and bassist Leah Quimby. Inspired by no wave and hardcore, the trio developed a free-rocking sound that made the most of their stream-of-consciousness approach. The Markers' current line-up is a pared down duo of Ambrogio and Nolan. Extra Life (NYC) weds brutal instrumental abstraction with the ancient popular art of monophonic song. The hands channel their technological violence through a convulsive hopscotch while the mouth seduces the air with its primitive kiss. Includes ex-members of Zs and Dirty Projectors. The music of the Weasel Walter Quartet (Weasel Walter-drums, John Gruntfest - sax, Randy Hunt - contrabass, and Lisa Mezzacappa filling in for Damon Smith - contrabass) hearkens back to that of free jazz legends like Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor, Masayuki Takayanagi and Peter Brotzmann - there is an emphasis on overt speed and violence while never losing sight of articulation and interplay. The group is interested in power, excitement and fury - rallying its listeners to revolt against musical and social complacency!

Ms. Fisher's movement pieces partner a new brand of gestural choreography to rhythmic drive and/or rhythmic unpredictability. The result is dance with a visual intensity that sets it apart from modernist and post-modernist performance practice. As the director of MA FISH CO, a performance and media production company, she creates intermedia works that build theatrical tension out of the gestural interplay of light, sound, objects, set design, and projections with and without live performers. The company's recent video work uses this approach to combine the ideas, images, and objects of politically and culturally segregated subjects. With co-director, composer Robert Hughes, MA FISH CO has toured the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan, and has been featured at New Dance USA, New Music America, and the Venice Biennale festivals. MA FISH CO returns to public performance after a hiatus of ten years. for more information contact: John Bischoff, Music Department Mills College 5000 MacArthur Blvd. Oakland, CA 94613 510-430-2331 Mills College is located off 580 freeway in Oakland.

Recordings of his work have been published by Communion, Amish, Merge, Umbrella, Phaserprone, Squealer and Threelobed, among others. As Pykrete, Johnson improvises within the limits of simple circuitry and primitive hardware, exploring these systems for faults and instabilities that might reveal latent beauty. Johnson is currently a candidate in the MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media program at Mills College in Oakland. http://www.cirrusoxide.com/pykrete/ http://www.myspace.com/pykrete Chen Santa Maria: Steve Santa Maria + George Chen have really put together an odd little project, which varies from guitar noise and extended tracks of live audio experimentation to a lighter more recognized side of songwriting (with an occasional touch of Americana.)

They'll be strollable before and after the performances of Deborah Slater Dance Theater's The Desire Line on March 28th and 29th. The entry installation The Long Haul ushers you from the outside world into the world of theater. The parting installation Hall of Memories is a walking collage, incorporating several pieces that Jonathan Segel, Erling Wold and/or I have written for Deborah Slater over the last few years, arranged by me. Please come for a stroll and the show! Cowell Theater, Fort Mason Marina Blvd @ Buchanan St., San Francisco Friday & Saturday, March 28 & 29, 2008 Box office - and sound installation - opens at 7:00 PM Tickets here - http://www.artofthematter.org/buytickets.html Two 100 yard-long sound installations by Thom Blum. The Long Haul, a soundwalk leading to The Desire Line by Deborah Slater Dance Theater, <> music by Jonathan Segel, then, Hall of Memories, an exit soundwalk. I hope to see you there! ..Thom Blum http://www.thomblum.com http://www.myspace.com/thomblum More installation notes - The Long Haul You come from your world into the theater, hauling all your thoughts and associations fresh in mind from the day's encounters. Once you enter the theater and the show begins the goal is to be transported into the fantasy of another or others. Somehow between entering the theater and the start of the show you prepare yourself to abandon present concerns and willfully enter another's world. Two sound installations by Thom Blum, written in conjunction with Deborah Slater Dance Theater's The Desire Line, will be presented along the 100 yard-long hallway to Cowell Theater in Fort Mason, San Francisco. The entry installation The Long Haul ushers you from the outside world into the world of theater, transporting you from everyday sounds to the abstractions of the everyday that await you. The parting installation Hall of Memories is a walking collage drawn from past music written for Deborah Slater by Jonathan Segel, Thom Blum and Erling Wold. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This interest in sound can be seen in everything from his extended sound language as an improvisor to his homemade and found instruments. The different rates of passing time become relevant as both a rhythmic impetus and defining element in his compositions and their changing definitions of form, shape and outcome. Musically his explorations range from solo improvisations through small group collaborations to large scale compositions for his twenty-six member large ensemble, Skeleton Key Orchestra. As a composer his works range from solo pieces to medium scale works for a variety of ensembles, works for tape, electronics and acoustics instruments, large works for orchestras, creative orchestras and traditional big bands as well as pieces involving text, voice and other mediums. In the last several years Hubbard has been more involved with musical situations incorporating acoustics, enviroments and field recordings. His work as an artist can be seen on several of his CD covers and his work as an engineer and producer can be heard on almost all of his recordings. His current projects include solo performances, collaborations with Curtis Glatter (the Glatter/Hubbard Duo), ARC Trio, and Cosmologic, as well as leading his own chamber quintet (Nathan Hubbard/Everything After), octet (Nathan Hubbard Octet) and the large ensemble Nathan Hubbard Skeleton Key Orchestra. In addition to all this work, Hubbard has performed and/or recorded with artists such as Martin Blume, David Borgo, Castanets, Alex Cline, Anthony Davis, Brad Dutz, Harris Eisenstadt, Justin Grinnell, Vinny Golia, Phillip Greenlief, Rick Helzer, Mike Keneally, Steuart Liebig, George Lewis, Doug Lunn, Noah Phillips, Garth Powell, Tim Root, Jim Ryan, Moe! Staiano, GE Stinson, Kris Tiner, Bertram Turetzky, and Phillip Wachsmann. A long time ago Hubbard played one tune on congas w/ Clay Walker. Even longer ago he played shaker with Nestor Torres. They were both not that nice and Hubbard has refused to talk about it since. Hubbard is a member of the Trummerflora Collective.

Jacob Felix Heule and Jay Korber explore the extreme sounds that can be wrenched from their instruments through brute force ? screaming through saxophones, throwing drums and other such impolite extended techniques. The doubled instrumentation provides a situation to explore playing contrasting and complimentary styles on like instruments. "...bone-shattering, ego-melting music... shifts just as quickly into eerie bouts of beauty and sadness before dive-bombing back into the lake of burning blood." -- Foxy Digitalis "With all the squawks, rasps, and synapse-smacking harmonics of John Zorn and Albert Ayler, the San Francisco duo Ettrick wields saxophones like some kind of pan-dimensional alarm clocks?or, at the very least, malfunctioning dentist's drills. But like the best free jazz, there's a deep intuition and discipline at work within the band's music...

Frustrated by the limitations of ?Jazz, the Institution,? and bored by the mediocrity of much modern pop, the IJG has slowly pioneered the concept of ?avant-garde party music?: an idiosyncratic, charming / disarming blend of jazz, rock, cartoon soundtracks, humor, blues, funk, costumes, doo wop, dada, and a lot of other stuff. It?s not really ?industrial,? and it?s not really ?jazz?: the IJG attempts to demonstrate that music can indeed be complex, sophisticated, sexy, fun, funny, critical, smart, and groovy all at once. http://www.industrialjazzgroup.com/ From coreyfogel at gmail.com Thu Mar 27 17:05:23 2008 From: coreyfogel at gmail.com (corey fogel) Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:05:23 -0700 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Dominique Leone: ONE + TWO In-Reply-To: <7a259c0803262348q530c748cl44e7ceb0d011f90@mail.gmail.com> References: <7a259c0803262348q530c748cl44e7ceb0d011f90@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <7a259c0803271705w48b42c58mf0390ef71bb02541@mail.gmail.com> ?&vW???h?f???&&?????+b? h??e???n??? )z???f?q???^1??y???b?)?z????j?!???w}??k? ??+jY^t???<(jwb??k?7????u????^w??????Z???????$b?&??????nzwu???????^???????{?????,?????????,r????b?)???)?'!?Z ???????f?????',jwHv???\??G???hr??N?z???f?q?0?Y_y?n????'????????????y??vz'???v??r?,???????{-jYZ?*'u?"?w?o"??\?y?n?)?k?z???Z?)oz?r???v??u?????????x-??)i??i????n??u?l???v???(??Z??%??^?????^????'????'0?Y_y?n?????-????x?jX???.????????h??aj???+ay?k???????????????y?k?x???"p????D?5?1??y???b?^w?K??'@??^?G?{ ?????&???Z???r?????wZ???r????????x??Z?????f????x ???????? $??"q????????????"?p????1???w???????h????-?'z?"q?bjz ??Z?i^?z^????*')????b?????1??

The program is called "One + Two", and is a project I've developed with visual artist *Kelly Rio Saxton*, influenced by modern theories of consciousness, physical law, chaos & complexity, neuropsychology, abstract mathematics...and I'd really like you to come! The performances will feature music for voice, pianos, tuned and non-tuned percussion, and an installation designed by Kelly, featuring a waterfall of silver pyramids and a river covering the space made out of braided strands of second-hand clothes and other fabric. The music will feature aspects of minimalism, counterpoint, choral harmony, theatrical performance and electronic music. *Info*: *ONE + TWO* *Maybeck Studio* *1537 Euclid Ave.* *Berkeley, CA 94708* *Saturday, March 29: 8 p.m.* *Sunday, March 30: 7 p.m.* *starring*: Alexandra Buschman - voice Annie Lewandowski - voice Corey Fogel - percussion Curtis McKinney - upright bass Dominique Leone - voice, piano Jordan Glenn - percussion Kanoko Nishi - piano MaryClare Brzytwa - voice, electronics, flute Shayna Dunkelman - percussion Zach Kurth-Nelson - voice NOW...as most of you know, the Maybeck Studio is an incredible place to hear music, but *please RSVP* so we can plan accordingly. Remember, no RSVP probably means less wine for the reception. ;) Hope to see you there!

To make things even more ridiculous, in an awesome way, Liz Allbee will be joining Mute Socialite for a couple songs on trumpet/electronics (something that hopefully will occur again, a lot of times!).
