Since 2000, she has released five solo albums (mego, editions mego, tomlab) and some collaborations/mini albums (fatcat, room40, corde, nature bliss etc). making words and most of the tracks by herself. She sings in Japanese though all of her albums are released on European labels. Noriko has carved out a sound world all her own, where lo-bitrate noise collages form a framework for dreamy and melancholic pop ballads. In 2004, she started to make movies and has finished 2 narrative works. Since 2006, she has been busy with her baby. www.tujikonoriko.com Edmund J. Campion (Co-Director, CNMAT) was born in Dallas ,Texas in 1957. He received his Doctorate degree in composition at Columbia University and attended the Paris Conservatory where he worked with composer G?rard Grisey. In 1993, he created the piece Losing Touch (Billaudot Editions, Paris) at IRCAM ( L'Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique) he was subsequently commissioned by IRCAM to produce a large scale work for interactive electronics and midi-grand piano (Natural Selection) (ICMC 2002). Other projects include a Radio France Commission l'Autre (The Other), the full-scale ballet Playback (commissioned by IRCAM and the Socit?t? des Auteurs et Compositeurs Dramatiques ) and ME, for Baritone and live electronics, commissioned by the MANCA festival in association with CIRM (Centre National de Cr?ation Musicale). Campion is currently Professor of Music at the University of California, Berkeley where he also serves as Co-Director at CNMAT (The Center for New Music and Audio Technologies). Thomas Buckner For over three decades Thomas Buckner championed music of the avant-garde in America and throughout the world as a performer, producer, and promoter. A former student of the legendary Metropolitan Opera baritone, Martial Singher, he was trained in the classical tradition and has continued throughout his distinguished career to broaden the scope of his vocal styles, specializing in a wide range of experimental music. Buckner has collaborated with a host of "new music" composers including Robert Ashley, Roscoe Mitchell, Wadada Leo Smith, Noah Creshevsky, Annea Lockwood, Bun-Ching Lam, David Wessel, Tom Hamilton, Leroy Jenkins, Phill Niblock, Matthias Kaul and many others. He has made solo appearances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Harvard University, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Edinburgh Festival, the Prague Spring Festival, and the Biennale Festival in Venice, presenting a repertoire that includes more than 100 compositions, written for, or dedicated to him. Ray Sweeten, aka Ray, was born of an interest in electronic sound/communication at an early age whilst engaged in audio correspondences with his estranged father in Peru. He cultivated this interest much later at the Oberlin Conservatory along with what would become an ongoing exploration in the systematic mapping of sound to image. His work has been screened and performed at The Kitchen, The Liverpool Biennial, The New York Underground Film Festival, Pacific Film Archive, Participant Gallery, La General, Bonnefantenmuseum Maastricht, Mata Foundation, The Stone, Ocularis, Issue project Room, Aurora Picture Show, MoMa PS1, NY Independent Film Festival, and the Conflux Festival. He has taught and given workshops to young people through programs such as Vibe Songmakers, Community Musicworks and the Guggenheim Museum, New York. His work has received support from Harvestworks/Van Lier, Experimental Television Center, NYSCA, MATA, Fabrica, spa., and mediaThe. Sweeten currently resides in New York City. www.raysweeten.com From mattdavignon at gmail.com Tue Sep 2 14:14:01 2008 From: mattdavignon at gmail.com (Matt Davignon) Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2008 14:14:01 -0700 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Wed, 9/3: Phill Niblock, sfSound Group & Sharkiface at SFEMF Message-ID: Wednesday, Sep 3 2008 8:00 PM San Francisco Electronic Music Festival 2008 Project Artaud Theatre 450 Florida Street SF Cost : $17 General, $12 Student, $55 Festival Pass San Francisco Electronic Music Festival 2008 Phill Niblock (New York) sfSound Group (SF Bay Area) Sharkiface (SF Bay Area) And installations by Jen Boyd, Clay Chaplin and Alex Potts Phill Niblock is a New York-based minimalist composer and multi-media musician and director of Experimental Intermedia, a foundation born in the flames of 1968's barricade-hopping in Lower Manhattan. He has been a maverick presence on the fringes of the avant garde ever since. His influence has had more impact on younger composers such as Susan Stenger, Lois V Vierk, David First, and Glenn Branca. He's even worked with Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Lee Renaldo on "Guitar two, for four" which is actually for five guitarists. Niblock constructs big 24-track digitally-processed monolithic microtonal drones, resulting in sound without melody or rhythm. Movement is slow, changes imperceptible, and his music has a way of creeping up on you. Since 1968, Niblock has put on over 1,000 concerts in his loft space, including Ryoji Ikeda, Zbigniew Karkowski and Jim O'Rourke. www.phillniblock.com sfSound Group has been presenting innovative and challenging concerts in the San Francisco bay area since 1999. A true 21st century ensemble, the group has an extraordinary roster of Bay Area composer-performers whose virtuosic and "extended" instrumental abilities are equally balanced with their involvement in composition, electronic sound, performance art, computer audio programming, and experimental instrument making. The group's sfSoundSeries presents cutting-edge new works by local and international composers, virtuosic improvisations, theatrical performances, live diffusion of tape music, and avant-garde classics. The group also frequently presents existing work in highly creative "radical transcriptions," blurring the lines between performance, composition, interpretation and improvisation. www.sfsound.org/group Sharkiface is Bay Area experimental artist Angela Edwards, co-founder of the veteran "costume noise" & comedy duo Tarantism, a member of the electronic duo Pigs In The Ground and the macabre experimental doo-wop quintet Diatric Puds. Solo performances usually involve dense textures and rich layered tones using various rare electronic intstruments such as the Ciat Lonbarde Tranoe, a heavily modified stereo delay and looping instrument, and the Bug, an electro-acoustic soundboard built by Tom Nunn. www.sharkiface.com From pgsaxo at pacbell.net Tue Sep 2 17:53:26 2008 From: pgsaxo at pacbell.net (Phillip Greenlief) Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2008 17:53:26 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [NewMusicEvents] evander music presents tom rainey - ingrid laubrock duo and citta di vitti at 21 grand!

Since coming to the San Francisco Bay Area ten years ago he has become an unstoppable navigational presence in the noise and experimental music scenes. As one of his alter-egos Core of the Coalman, Jorge performs solo on a variety of electrical and acoustic media in live performance. These pieces address a variety of conceptual and artistic intents and interests and result in the creation of novel sonic architectures. Core of the Coalman has performed on concerts alongside many diversed experimental bands and artists including Gowns, Rubber O Cement, Deerhoof, Ikue Mori, Luciano Chessa, Ramon Sender, Tralphaz, Sixes, the Breezy Days Band, Xome, Jessica Rylan, 0th, Bulbs, and Joshua Churchill to name a few.

The music promises to be meditative and evocative, with Stuart Dempster (on trombone, dijeridu, toys, and homemade instruments) and Tom Heasley ( probably the world's premiere ambient tuba player.) Tom augments his tuba with delays and reverbs, creating brass tinged planes of sound. I'll be performing on my modified and prepared Rhodes electric piano. Stuart Dempster, with whom I've played in Lung Tree (ReR, 2005) is doing a number of concerts this year with The Deep Listening Band (with Pauline Oliveros and David Gamper.)

This performance will include the first results of an evolving visual system of kinetic ambient fiction designed/developed by Mika with Neal Elzenga. Animations will include ?ExoTV: Enigmatic Adventures? excerpts: blipvert/subvert (Due), choreo (Qua), and aqua (Tre). (these utilize the artwork of and are in collaboration with Artist/Writer Professor Meg Schoerke.) Mika studied composition with and worked for the late Professor Vladimir Ussachevsky, in addition to his R&D work in artificial intelligence, virtual environments and interactive media. Neal applies art, math, science, and a larger than average brain to defining emerging areas of the user/media interface. Neal and Mika were voted most-likely to be ?techno-gangsters from the 29th century? by their collegues in the research labs of Akashi, Japan. Ardiane has been playing in live improvised settings since first performing live improvised film scores in a playing in a jazz-psychedelic-arabic fusion band in 2004, and has performed in a number of noise and experimental rock units since. Kaylee Comb's music reflect the flow of water as they stream from one mood to another--Sometimes soft; sometimes intense; sometimes both. Improvisations are fueled by environmental impressions of the moment. Swoondoll music lends itself well & interestingly to visual art, as images are used to improvise from. Kalee is classically trained, uses folk songs, & elements of early European chant. Words that describe Swoondoll are: phantasmagoric, swirling, ethereal, ambient, textural, otherworldly, hyper dimensional, tonal collage, mystical, ghostly, pure. Much of the music is created with voice and delay, keyboard/organ. Bits of sounds, such as, clocks, animals, and industrial machines are added to layers of voice and drone sounds.

The "IAMINDUST" International Ambient and Industrial music festival has been a full year in planning and will take place on three consecutive nights, October 3-5. Each night features a half dozen or more performers from the SF Bay Area and nether regions as far afield as Germany. Among the genres represented will be dark ambient and industrial (of course), power electronics, darkwave/ethereal, electro-acoustic, experimental, and hybrids of all of these. Many of the participating artists will be performing with an eight-channel 'octophonic' sound system designed by James Goode and Walter Funk, with added video projections by filmmaker/videographer Brian Traylor. This promises to be the most technically and conceptually ambitious Forms Of Things Unknown performance to date: a forty-minute work entitled "Enantiodronia" which utilizes 24 tracks of live-mixed backing material, 48 live-triggered samples, and twelve channels of assorted live acoustic instruments and effects. This piece will make its world premiere on Friday night, October 3, at 9:00 pm, accompanied by a video which the aforementioned Brian Traylor has created specifically for this performance. A brief three-minute excerpt of the FOTU video can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI8wOsr9wVA (while there have a look and listen to some of the other performing artists from the festival on the IAMINDUST YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/iamindust ) All of this takes place at Orbis Nex (an underground Gothic-themed warehouse space in Oakland CA) on October 3rd, 4th and 5th, starting at 8:00 pm each night. Directions to the venue are here: http://www.vialmagazine.com/breadcrumbs.html (scroll down to bottom of page). If you are taking public transportation, the location is a short walk from the Oakland Coliseum BART station. Advance tickets can be purchased online using PayPal by going to this page: http://www.iamindust.com/tickets.shtml - they're somewhat pricey at $25 a night, due to the extensive variety of performers and the fact that many have traveled far to perform here. Some of these artists seldom perform live and never tour, so this is a rare opportunity to see acts like Troum, Bloodbox and Ethos. Please be advised that if you are hoping to see Forms Of Things Unknown on Friday, you would do well to arrive no later than 9:00 pm so as not to miss my set. Due to the large number of performers (eight in total on Friday night, of which FOTU is the third), programming is on a tight schedule and when it says "Show starts at 8:00" it means 8:00, not 9:30 or 10:00 like most bars and clubs. Here's the schedule of performers (in order of appearance) for all three nights: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3 Death of the West [San Francisco] Nommo Ogo [Oakland] Forms of Things Unknown [San Francisco] Thomas Dimuzio [San Francisco] Asianova [Taos NM + San Francisco] Post Scriptvm [Brooklyn NY] Amber Asylum [San Francisco] Winston Tong & LX Rudis [SF Bay Area] SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4 James Goode [San Francisco] Parlour Music Communications [Los Angeles CA] Ethos [Austin TX] Nux Vomica [San Francisco] Illusion Of Safety [Chicago IL] Voice of Eye [Taos NM] Kwisp [San Francisco] SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5 A.S. [SF Bay Area] Bloodbox [Seattle WA] Troum [Germany] Aidan Baker - [Canada] Nadja [Canada] Ure Thrall [San Francisco] DOORS OPEN EACH NIGHT AT 7:00 - SHOWS START AT 8:00 pm sharp Most Performances will be roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour long with approximately 15 minutes of transition time between performances.

Doors at 8:15 PM, Performances begin at 8:30 PM. $5 - $15 sliding scale admission This event takes place at The LAB, 2948 16th Street at Capp, San Francisco SL Morse - No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre Masterminded by drummer/conceptual artist, Sarah Lockhart, SL Morse translates literary works into music via morse code, resulting in a performance focused on both interpreting the literary text and creating aesthetically interesting music. "No Exit" features Lockhart on drums with Aurora Josephson (voice) and Suki O'Kane (pitched percussion), and contends with the play's premise of three individuals condemned to hell, to be eternally emotionally tortured by the others, as well as the thematic elements of rejection and the unquenchable desire for revenge. Preceding SL Morse's performance: Pieces of Nine is an original play directed by Mark Edwards and written by Dylan Latimer. A journey into and back from the spirit world, it is a multi-lingual human/machine-translated performance, making use of the internet as a stage. The piece confronts the network as the new location of human emotion and being. Mark Edwards is a musician, artist, media nerd, and art worker, living in San Francisco. His recent work has been featured at Lobot, The LAB, Headlands Center for the Arts and SFMOMA (in collaboration with Jeff Ray), and numerous performance venues in the Bay Area and abroad. Dylan Latimer is a writer living and working in Brooklyn, New York. My Egaugnal by Aygul Idiyatullina This experimental video investigates a longing to find balance between three languages that the artist uses in everyday life: Tatar, Russian, and English. Like three separate worlds, these languages are associated with different people, emotions, and state of mind. My Egaugnal explores the personal and emotional relationships Idiyatullina has to each language, and how the artist's identity is shaped through those connections. This event is programmed in conjunction with the Code-Switchers exhibition juried by Steve Dye and Stephanie Syjuco. For more information on the full exhibition, please visit www.thelab.org.

It's Metal Machine Music from the organic aisle, with smoky landscapes of guitar and vocals hovering in heated sustain. Though layered effects overlap, the overall sound still bears the imprint of guitar strings, in keeping with predecessors like Charlambides, as well as heavier hitters like Om. The duo is obviously interested in space, but they also have a natural sense of drama, something left over, perhaps, from their metal days. When a loose drum beat emerges after three hazy tracks of their handsomely designed LP, From Our Mouths a Perpetual Light (vinyl on Not Not Fun; CD forthcoming from Digitalis), there's a sudden focusing effect; when a gigantic guitar chord thunders from out of nowhere a few seconds later, it's seismic. A clear-eyed frieze of acoustic guitar takes on extra potency within the duo's minimalist architecture." -Max Goldberg, SF Guardian www.myspace.com/barnowlband Pillars and Tongues is a trio born in Chicago, Illinois, but manifesting at many points on the map. The group of Evan Hydzik, Elizabeth Remis, and Mark Trecka constitute a collective focused on the abstraction of form and language, and their resulting exploration of such just happens to take shape in musical form. Recalling the aesthetic employed by the 'spiritual jazz' workouts of icons such as Pharaoh Sanders, in which the creation of music itself can be seen as a positing method to address larger concepts at hand, Pillars & Tongues utilize an organic, 'spontaneous composition' design in which the three communicate their ideas. The result is not so much a 'free music,' but rather an unfolding musical discussion that, like a logical conclusion to a question of study, moves towards organization and resolution. www.contraphonic.com Numinous Eye is a guitar-drum duo formed by guitarist Mason Jones (ex-SubArachnoid Space, owner of the Charnel Music label). The project's drum seat is occupied by a rotating cast of players, which has included Mike Shoun (Oh Sees, ex-Caesura), Frank Grau (ex-Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Species Being), Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins), and others. Numinous Eye's music spans the range from spacey to gravitational, sometimes like floating motes, more often dense walls of sound. They've released several CDs and LPs on labels like Archive Records and Little Mafia, along with a number of self-issued CDRs. www.charnel.com/numinouseye Cost : $6-10 ******************************************************************************** Oct 9? 8pm League of Art Game Composers (LAG) 9pm: Dayrl Shawn + Alan Anzalone Oct16 8pm: Amar Chaudhary 9pm: Jack Curtis Dubowsky Ensemble Oct23 8pm Music by the Eyeful Keith Evans Dylan Bolles Ngoma Lungundu Oct30 8pm Dronshift ******************************************************************************** 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.
