There will be a new President of the United States and the hopes and dreams of the world will have a new sense of possibility. One constant, that will provide perspective and focus for the changing world? The San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra will be there to provide ?Moving Targets? a concert of new music by Gary Friedman, Sheli Nan, Lisa Scola Prosek, Martha Stoddard, and Clare Twohy. A concert experience that will shed some light on the vagaries of life, the changing universe, and everything in between.Program:Gary Friedman.......................Meanderings and On the GoSheli Nan................................Signatures in Time and PlaceLisa Scola Prosek.................How They Move from BadessaMartha Stoddard....................In Search of Planet XClare Twohy...........................UntitledDavide Verotta ......................Sinfonia Gary Friedman's Meanderings and On the Go, two octets for winds, will feature transformations of traditional materials over time and space. The music of Clare Twohy will show new take on the music of John Philip Sousa and the halls of academia respectively. Martha Stoddard's In Search of Planet X will blast off fireworks of atonality inspired by minimalism and the works of Gustav Holst; while Sheli Nan'sSignatures in Time and Place reflects back to the sounds of Medieval France and Ancient Greece. From here, Lisa Scola Prosek will invoke ideas from Renaissance Italy in How They Move, from her opera-in-progress after Boccaccio's Decameron, entitled Badessa, with two intriguing movements conjuring up "Little fast ones" and "Big fat ones." Davide Verotta?s non-programmatic (though similarly Italianate and serendipitously pictorial) Sinfonia, Per Orchestra da Camera will as the pressing question, "If one insists in asking what [the music] tries to express, well, the journey is from a place of relative stasis, to the interplay of the slightly whimsical and energy bursts (escape? emergence?), back to a place of stasis."

Corringham is a British sound artist, vocalist and composer whose work usually involves walking, as a method of investigating people?s relationships with places and how that links to an interior landscape of memory and association. The experiences and materials gathered on these walks find their way into installations, headphone works and concert pieces. These two works derive from audio and visual recordings made during recent artist residencies in Grand Marais, Minnesota (At the End of the Road) and the Bay Area, California (Always the Water), in which local people shared walks and places that are special to them with Corringham. The sounds were recorded on location and include conversations on the walks, environmental sounds, and vocal improvisations. The visuals mainly explore objects gathered on the journeys. This work is part of a long-term project, known as Shadow-walks, which explores one?s sense of place and relationship with places, especially very familiar ones. Funded in part by the Phyllis C.

The level of playing and songwriting after their post-punk hiatus is unparalled by any of their generational comeback cohorts" - TERRE T/WFMU "With The Fall getting Lifetime Achievement awards and Gang Of Four canonised it is long past time the wayward genius of Robert Lloyd and his cohorts was recognised" - RECORD COLLECTOR "Robert Lloyd, the Black Country Captain Beefheart, steamrolls his unwitting inheritors. Lesser talents plough the comeback trail, but the Nightingales press onwards - scratchy guitars scribbling furiously over exploratory drumming - the group reaching new heights in its third decade." - SUNDAY TIMES DUCKMANDU www.duckmandu.com, www.myspace.com/duckmandu Duckmandu: Aaron Seeman's onslaught of solo accordion and vocals has astounded audiences of all shapes and sizes. Maximum Rock 'n Roll, the premier punk magazine, pronounced him "over the top!" for his note-for-note renditions of the entire first Dead Kennedys album, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables. Rather than play hokey accordion versions of these songs, Duckman/Seeman seeks to demonstrate that accordion and vocals alone can evoke the spirit of the song, whether the hard driving rock of AC/DC, the wide vocal range and sonic landscape of Boston, or the supersonic speeds and driving force of Dead Kennedys. In addition to his accordionizationizing, Aaron Seeman is a founding member, arranger, and vocalist with San Francisco's Punk Rock Orchestra, which performs full scale orchestral versions of classic punk songs. He also plays accordion with the Romanian folk group, Fishtank Ensemble. He has recorded with Mr. Bungle and Estradasphere. He is the composer of a modern classical opera "Opium: Diary of a Cure." -- www.myspace.com/avamendoza www.myspace.com/mutesocialite http://www.bayimproviser.com/avamendoza -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ross has shared billing with Pharoah Sanders, John Tchcai, Ken Vandermark, Peter Brotzman, Pothole, Kenny Werner and Charlie Hunter. He is a frequent collaborator with tabla player/percussionist Alex Jenkins, free jazz hornman Tony Passarell, "Grad-student" rockers The Inversions, Sacramento saxophone legend Steve Gundhi, Bay Area drummer Sameer Gupta and David Boyce of the Broun Fellinis. Originally from Ontario, Canada, composer and trumpeter Darren Johnston moved to San Francisco, CA in 1997, where he has been living ever since. As a performer, Johnston has performed, and/or recorded with such innovative musicians and composers as guitarist Fred Frith, clarinetist Don Byron, bassist Marcus Shelby, bassist Herbie Lewis, the ROVA Saxophone Quartet, clarinetist Ben Goldberg, and others. He was recently listed last June by Downbeat Magazine as one of? "25 Trumpeters of the Future." Johnston has received commissions to write for dance, most notably for the San Francisco based companies Robert Moses???s Kin, and Amy Seiwert's im'ij-re, but primarily he writes for his own various projects and those of others in which he participates, including two works in progress for the Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra. Devin Hoff works the double bass, the bass guitar, and writes songs. He grew up in Colorado, where he did not learn to fish, hunt, ski, or camp, and he did not go to college. Since the early 1990 "he has been living in the San Francisco Bay Area." He is a member of The Nels Cline Singers, Good For Cows, Plays Monk, and the Devin Hoff Platform. In addition, he regularly works with other great musicians, such as Carla Bozulich, Ben Goldberg, Odessa Chen, John Dieterich, Jewlia Eisenberg, Howard Wiley, Steven Bernstein, Carla Kihlstedt, Tony Malaby, Julian Lage, Ron Miles, Mary Halvorson, Jessica Pavone, and many others. Devin has played on hundreds of recordings and thousands of shows throughout the world. In his spare time he collects (and reads) anarchist books, threatens to become a writer, and volunteers with worthy independent organizations such as the Prisoners Literature Project, the Kate Sharpley Library, and AK Press. He is not now, nor has he ever been, a retired hockey player. Liz Allbee is a voracious musician whose work spans many genres, including new music, improvisation, electronic composition, Asian folk and pop, noise, minimalist, free jazz and experimental rock. She has played with a wide array of musicians, including Anthony Braxton, Wadada Leo Smith, Cecil Taylor, Hans Grusel, Birgit Uhler, Alberto Braida, Fabrizio Spera, Gino Robair, Yugen Noh Theater, SFSound, and with members of Caroliner, Sun City Girls, and Rova. She lives in Oakland, CA. George Cremaschi was born in New York City to Argentinian immigrant parents. Cremaschi???s diverse influences include: study-ing jazz at the Jazzmobile, in Harlem, compostion at the Grennwich House Music School, in Greenwich Village; and Brazilian samba at Cuando, in the Lower East Side. Recent years have seen many performances and collaborations with such renowned musicians as: Marshall Allen, Vinney Golia, Eugene Chadbourne, Louis Moholo, Miya Masaoka, Glenn Spearman, Babatunde Olatunji, and Nicolas Collins.

Dietmar Post & Lucia Palacios (US 2006, Video, 100m. In English and German with English subtitles ) Original MONK Eddie Shaw will be in person opening night for Q&A after both screenings!! MONKS: THE TRANSATLANTIC FEEDBACK, a documentary on legendary underground band the Monks, comes to the U.S. for a limited theatrical engagement. Heavy on feedback, nihilism and electric banjo, the Monks were five American GIs in cold-war Germany who billed themselves as the anti-Beatles. The Monks, who modeled themselves after Franciscan monks, dressed in black, mocked the military and rocked harder than any of their mid-sixties counterparts while managing to basically invent industrial, heavy metal, punk and techno music. This documentary not only situates the Monks phenomenon in the social, historical and political context of post-War German pop music, but it also reveals the band's significance as the first marriage of pop art and popular music, arriving on the scene before Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground. The five protagonists of the film went to Germany in 1961 as soldiers and left the country in 1967 as avant-garde heroes. For more than thirty years, they were not able to talk about their strange experience ? until filmmakers Dietmar Post & Lucia Palacios dared to tell their amazing story.

Its title comes from Dr. Martin Luther King: ?We must see that peace represents a sweeter music, a cosmic melody, that is far superior to the discords of war.? She specializes in new American music as well as the American experimental tradition, and has commissioned, premiered, and recorded numerous compositions for solo piano. Ms. Cahill has performed at the Miller Theatre and Cooper Union in New York, the Other Minds Festival, Pacific Crossings Festival in Tokyo, at the Spoleto Festival USA, and at the Nuovi Spazi Musicali festival in Rome. for more information contact: John Bischoff, Music Department Mills College 5000 MacArthur Blvd. Oakland, CA 94613 510-430-2331 From matt at sfsound.org Mon Nov 17 10:51:30 2008 From: matt at sfsound.org (matt) Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:51:30 -0800 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Fwd: martha & monica TUESDAY 8 PM 11/18 at Berkeley City Club performing Beethoven, Carter, and Schumann References: Message-ID: <1399D7E4-1DD7-4C86-85D4-4FA6A4E36522@sfsound.org> Begin forwarded message: > From: Monica Scott > Date: November 16, 2008 6:29:29 PM PST > To: Monica Scott > Subject: martha & monica NEXT TUESDAY 8 PM 11/18 at Berkeley City > Club performing Beethoven, Carter, and Schumann > > Dear friends of martha & monica, > > > We're so excited to be opening our third season as part of the > Berkeley Chamber Performances series next > Tuesday November 18th at 8PM at the Berkeley City Club, performing > early major sonatas for cello > and piano by Beethoven and Elliott Carter, along with late music of > Schumann. > > Come hear wonderful music for cello and piano in the intimate space > of the Berkeley City Club. > The space becomes quite special when it's full, so be sure to get > your tickets early! > > Our debut on this Berkeley Chamber Performances concert features > Beethoven's Sonata Op. 5/1 in F Major, Schumann's Five Pieces in > Folk Style, > and with his 100th birthday now only weeks away, Elliott Carter's > Sonata for cello and piano. > > > LOCATION: Berkeley City Club (Member's Lounge)? 2315 Durant Ave, > Berkeley, CA 94704 > > TICKETS: $20/$10 (Students through high school are admitted for > free/ post secondary $10). > Purchase either at the door or online: visit http://www.berkeleychamberperform.org/mm.html > (click on "tickets & information") > > For more information about martha & monica, please visit http://www.sffcm.org/affiliates/martha-&-monica/ > > Hope you can join us! > > Please pass this email along to anyone you think may be looking for > some inspiration on Tuesday evening!!! > > -Monica Scott > m@ From perney at gmail.com Mon Nov 17 12:46:40 2008 From: perney at gmail.com (Eric Perney) Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:46:40 -0800 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Gojogo at Lobot Thurs Nov 20th Message-ID: <0A2014B462C5483EB19DEC40449D826B@CoeOne> Gojogo Thurs Nov. 20th Lobot Gallery in Oakland 8pm $5 Film screening of "No Deposit No Return Blues".

Looney-hyperpiano, Damon Smith-bass this week we feature an excellent trio of Jon Raskin, with drummer Vladimir Tarasov (Lithuania) and pianist Matthew Goodheart. Tarasov is an amazing percussionist who played for many years with the trio of Ganelin/Tarasov/Chekasin, a free jazz group which formed during the heady days of the Soviet Union in the 1970s and continued on up until 1986. tonight's concert pits him in another setting with a pianist and sax player which should be familiar territory for him, but the players selected tonight have different directions from merely a hard blowing free jazz aesthetic. Jon Raskin is an improviser with an amazing range and a penchant for unpredictability, while Matthew Goodheart has been exploring subtle coloring and shadings both outside and inside the piano. Complementing this will be a trio with saxophonist Simon Rose from the UK, myself (scott) with the outside and inside of the piano, as usual, and bassist Damon Smith in an interesting configuration. Simon has a mesmerizing sound on the alto, combined with an intense meditative quality which drives his improvisational style. all in all, should be an excellent evening. hope you can make it! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Learn more about Blue Cranes below... Blue Cranes (jazz, Portland) Like some David Lynch-style basement jazz hallucination, the Blue Cranes' music is the type of experimental, sometimes insane, but always invigorating experience that's hard to shake. The Portland quintet understands jazz is alive and well-but also that it was never something to be defined in the first place. The Cranes treat music as the broad, blank canvas it is, splattering it with color, bizarre time splits, soothing melodies and frightening bursts of brass while forging an original soundscape that would make a by-the-books beatnik jazzhead's beret spin.- Willamette Week "Never sleepy or static, and sporting an indie-rock edge that periodically disrupts the tranquillity." - The Oregonian "The greatest strength of Blue Cranes is their unity as a band." - All About Jazz (NYC) http://www.myspace.com/bluecranes http://www.myspace.com/gojogomusic http://www.gojogo.com From steed at mills.edu Wed Nov 26 13:12:02 2008 From: steed at mills.edu (Steed Cowart) Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:12:02 -0800 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Performance Collective Noontime Concert 12/1 Message-ID: <65821BEB5D22934E87F75D69F3474D1D0702ABAC@EXCHANGE02.mills.edu> The Mills College Music Department presents MILLS PERFORMANCE COLLECTIVE CONCERT Directed by Graeme Jennings, Kristin Pankonin, Robert Schwartz, and William Winant Monday, December 1, 2008 12:15 PM Mills Hall Living Room Free "Go for Me" Libby Larson Alexis Segel, mezzo-soprano Kristin Pankonin, piano "Quatre poemes de Catulle, Op. 80" Darius Milhaud La femme que j?aime Voil? o? mon ?me en est venue Ma ch?re, aimons-nous Ma ch?rie en presence de son mari Bonnie Horgos, soprano Graeme Jennings, violin "Hymn to Beauty" Roscoe Mitchell Zachary Kurth-Nelson, baritone Regina Schaffer, piano Mills College 5000 MacArthur Blvd Oakland, California From steed at mills.edu Wed Nov 26 13:12:27 2008 From: steed at mills.edu (Steed Cowart) Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:12:27 -0800 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Performance Collective Noontime Concert 12/1 Message-ID: <65821BEB5D22934E87F75D69F3474D1D0702ABAD@EXCHANGE02.mills.edu> The Mills College Music Department presents MILLS PERFORMANCE COLLECTIVE CONCERT Directed by Graeme Jennings, Kristin Pankonin, Robert Schwartz, and William Winant Monday, December 1, 2008 12:15 PM Mills Hall Living Room Free "Go for Me" Libby Larson Alexis Segel, mezzo-soprano Kristin Pankonin, piano "Quatre poemes de Catulle, Op. 80" Darius Milhaud La femme que j?aime Voil? o? mon ?me en est venue Ma ch?re, aimons-nous Ma ch?rie en presence de son mari Bonnie Horgos, soprano Graeme Jennings, violin "Hymn to Beauty" Roscoe Mitchell Zachary Kurth-Nelson, baritone Regina Schaffer, piano Mills College 5000 MacArthur Blvd Oakland, California From steed at mills.edu Wed Nov 26 13:19:53 2008 From: steed at mills.edu (Steed Cowart) Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:19:53 -0800 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Music Improvisation Ensemble Concert Dec 2 Message-ID: <65821BEB5D22934E87F75D69F3474D1D0702ABAE@EXCHANGE02.mills.edu> The Mills College Music Department presents MUSIC IMPROVISATION ENSEMBLE Performing music by ANTHONY BRAXTON with guest director GINO ROBAIR Tuesday December 2, 2008 8:00 pm Lisser Theater Free Mills College 5000 MacArthur Blvd. Oakland, CA Vijay Anderson - Percussion Zina von Bozzay - Voice Karlyn DeSteno - Viola Tomas delToro-Diaz - Guitar Sally Duke - Voice Karl Evangelista - Guitar Zola Goodrich - Bass Guitar Akiko Hatakeyama - Flute Jason Hoopes - Double Bass Seth Horvitz - Piano Sarah Howe - Electronics Annie Lewandowski - Piano Curtis McKinney - Double Bass Zeina Nasr - Voice Ben O'Brien - Guitar Grace Osborne - Flute Christopher M.

I'll be performing a solo set in a shared concert at Capp Street Concert Hall in San Francisco this coming Friday (December 5th). Read on for details... DOCTOR BOB CONCERT SERIES Operation #1: Doctor Bob and Pamela Z December, 5 2008 8pm Capp Street Concert Hall (San Francisco Community Music Center) 544 Capp Street, (Between 20th and 21st ) San Francisco, CA 94110 $10 General Admission Pamela Z (voice, electronics, and video) and Doctor Bob ( cello, voice, and nouveau lap steel player, and film) will each be performing a set on a shared evening at Capp Street Concert Hall. PAMELA Z is a composer/performer and audio artist who works primarily with voice, live electronic processing and sampling technology. Processing her live voice through ?MAX MSP? software on a PowerBook, she creates solo works that combine operatic bel canto and experimental extended vocal techniques with found percussion objects, spoken word, and sampled concr?te sounds. She often uses sensor-based MIDI controllers that allow her to maniupulate sound and/or video via physical gestures. Her works have been presented in concerts, festivals, and exhibitions throughout the world including the Venice Biennale, Ars Electronica, Other Minds, Japan Interlink Festival, and Bang on a Can. http://www.pamelaz.com DOCTOR BOB is a project of cellist, electronicist, vocalist Bob Marsh and avant lap steel guitar player David Michalak. Together they explore the further realms of voice, melody, harmony and rhythm. Bob Marsh has been improvising with sound, words, movement, line, shape, ideas and education since he can remember. He is especially interested in what is going on with language before words are actually formed. David Michalak has had a long career as a filmaker before adding in the lap steel guitar to his creative endevours. His approach to lap steel tears a large hole in the "Un-ironed Plaid Curtain". He brings a dramatic cinematic flair to the Doctor Bob Project. They play songs for a dark and turbulent world ranging from scary to the surreal. This show will feature new material from their upcoming release called, ?Chance? as well as songs from their ?Dark Times? CD on Edgetone Records. Andre Custodio will join the duo on drums and percussion. http://www.myspace.com/desperateremedies ---------------------------------------------------- Pamela Z Composer/Performer Pamela Z Contact info: Telephone: 415.861.EARS (415.861.3277) Mobile: 415.5PAMELA (415.572.6352) (I forward my land line to my mobile phone when I'm travelling) pamelaz at pamelaz.com http://www.pamelaz.com http://www.myspace.com/pamelazcomposer Skype: pamelazed AIM: pamelazdotcom (I always have Skype running.)
