Despite a threatening economy for the arts, Romus reports that the choice to incorporate and continue with the summer festival was born of bold intention. ?It?s not the first time we?ve been warned about our ambitions, but after a decade of supporting raw, alternative music for the rebellious soul, we knew that it was time to institutionalize our support of experimental artists and audiences, now more than ever.? The festival seeks to build on its reputation for diverse and critically-acclaimed performances with headliners that run the gamut from Bonfire Madigan to the ROVA Saxophone Quartet to Richard Waters. The 2009 Summit takes place in July at the San Francisco Community Music Center, the Summit?s home for the past two years. The festival schedule includes free hands-on workshops, pre-concert artist talks, and four nights of music featuring a diverse roster of artists. The schedule includes a world premiere of the new collaboration between Waterphone inventor Richard Waters and filmmaker-musician David Mihalak?s ensemble Ghost in the House. There will be new ensembles led by legendary reed player Vinny Golia and the long-awaited return of the collaboration of ancient Japanese instruments and electronics from The Natto Quartet. The program includes a night of intermedia with composer, playwright and conceptual artist Jess Rowland, and internationally-exhibited media cartographers (and Artist Television Access leaders) Kathleen Quillian and Gilbert Guerrero. This year?s festival is made possible with the generous support of the Zellerbach Family Foundation, Meet the Composer, the American Composers Forum Subito Program, and a family of individual, corporate and media sponsors dedicated to the arts. FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS Sunday July 19: Touch the Gear Ever wanted a closer look at the gear on stage? Wish you could try it yourself? Touch the Gear is Outsound?s free public event that allows audiences to roam among the artists and their sonic inventions, asking questions, making noise and learning how these often one-of-a-kind set-ups work. It?s a hands-on, family-friendly environment that demystifies the technology while inspiring the creativity. Wednesday July 22: Free Improvisation | Free Composition a night of legendary artists who straddle the line between composed and improvised works, featuring Alicia Mangan & Spirit, the ROVA Saxophone Quartet, and Vinny Golia with Thollem Mcdonas, Rent Romus, Damon Smith, Garth Powell, and Noah Phillips Thursday July 23: Industrial Soundscapes a night of uninhibited electronics and noise from Los Angeles and San Francisco featuring Forms of Things Unknown, Peter Kolovos, Conure, Hans Fjellestad and Thomas Dimuzio Friday July 24: InterMedia a night of performances infused by theater, movement, and media arts with Jess Rowland with The Dreamland Puppet Theater, Kathleen Quillian & Gilbert Guererro, and Bonfire Madigan Saturday July 25: Introspection & Improvisation a night of deep listening and long notes withThe Natto Quartet with Phillip Gelb, Shoko Hikage, Tim Perkis, and Chris Brown, Ghost In the House featuring grandmaster inventor Richard Waters with David Michalak, Karen Stackpole, Kyle Bruckman, and Tom Nunn and the ten piece Left Coast Improv Group ABOUT THE ARTISTS Full biographies of artists are available at www.outsound.org/summit/index.html Artists are available for interviews and studio performances.

FESTIVAL HISTORY Every summer since 2002, the Outsound New Music Summit (formerly known as the Edgetone New Music Summit)spends four days showcasing some of the most innovative and pioneering new music that is happening in California and beyond. At first a celebration of the eclectic vanguard artists on the DIY Edgetone Records Label, the Summit now features a broad range of artists from across the US, Europe, Australia and Japan, world premieres and exclusive debuts, raging free improvisers to microtonal composition to experimental electronics to harsh noise, reflecting an incredible range of genre busting exploration and sonic creativity. The Summit promotes intermedia, fostering cross-pollination between disciplines of music, sound art, visual and media arts. It is committed to bringing highly innovative music and art to a growing audience seeking a real ?alternative?. ABOUT OUTSOUND PRESENTS The mission of Outsound Presents is to raise public awareness of avant-garde and experimental music and sound art. All events and works supported by the organization focus on the creation of experimental music, avant-garde musical composition, found sound, improvisation, creative music, new music, noise, musique concr?te, minimalism, invented instruments, genre-bending music, and sound that is sculptural or textural in nature. Outsound Presents events also include film, dance, and intermedia works. Through its two weekly music series, its fledgling community education program OutSpoken, and a palette of artist services, Outsound Presents connects audiences to new work and the innovative artists creating it. http://www.outsound.org # # # -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

These recordings are now available for free at www.ribosomemusic.com. These 256k mp3s include ID3 tags, album art and all those things that make them work smoothly with portable music players. In the coming months, they'll also be released through Itunes, Amazon mp3, Emusic and other sites through Edgetone Records. Charcoal was originally recorded in 1999, and constructed completely out of samples of Davignon's 1998 cd, "5 Spots". Mysterious, emotive and paranoid, it gives the listener an experience that is both immersive and mildly abrasive. http://www.ribosomemusic.com/charcoal.html A love letter to tape decay, "Yellow" swims in murky filtered ambient sounds, navigating from swollen drones to loose nostalgic synthesizer melodies. The sounds and techniques used in "Yellow" are a precursor to Davignon's unique drum machine work as heard in the CDs "Bwoo" and "SoftWetFish". http://www.ribosomemusic.com/yellow.html Matt Davignon www.ribosomemusic.com From rentromus at yahoo.com Mon Apr 13 21:27:46 2009 From: rentromus at yahoo.com (Rent Romus) Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2009 21:27:46 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [NewMusicEvents] LSG New Music Series 4/16/09 Message-ID: <904196.57251.qm@web53710.mail.re2.yahoo.com> ******************************** Outsound & Luggage Store Present The New Music Series 04/16/09 The Luggage Store Gallery 1007 Market St. @ 6th St San Francisco, California USA ******************************** Thursday, April 16 2009 8:00 PM 8pm David Michalak (lap steel guitar) and Matt Davignon (drum machine) 9pm Richard Bonnet (France) French guitarist Richard Bonnet focus' his work on sound texture and mixing roots and avant-garde music in order to propose a spontaneous music with raw energy. A process of permanently boiling where codes and written conventions lead the way to the freedom and the freshness of a speech without any concession. Richard is an active musician of the Parisian scene, he performed in Europe and USA, work on solo, small or big ensemble with musicians like Eric Jacot, Ichiro Onoe, Thomas de Pourquery, Andr? Charlier, Guillaume Roy. He's also playing with influent musicians of the New York's free jazz scene Federico Hughi and Tom Abbs. 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 drum-machinist living in Oakland, California. Originally born in Western Massachusetts, he spent his musically formative years in Northern California, tinkering with tools such as lo-fi samplers, cassette tapes, contact microphones, household objects, 4-track compositions, extensive chains of guitar effects, prepared instruments, and field recordings. These explorations fuel and inform his current work, which most frequently involves processing the sounds of a drum machine in real-time with various electronic devices. Characteristics of his music include a focus on textures, arrhythmic patterns and musical imperfections, with a focus on evoking biological systems. Matt also co-produces the Luggage Store Gallery Experimental Music series in San Francisco, and has produced odd concerts such as the San Francisco Found Objects Festival and Droneshift. $6-10 sliding ******************************** Outsound Presents is a 501(c)3 non-profit volunteer collective of explorative sound artists who, among other things, are involved in running performance venues, and other D.I.Y. educational programs.

Brown and Bischoff are both professors at Mills College. Haberl and Filip are developers of open-source music composition software "lloopp." Musically, they are often concerned with place and displacement, working with field recordings or site-specific installations, including a series of internet performances as a trio with Boris Hauf. Sunday, April 19 Playing Favorites: Walter/Hoff/Mendoza + Dominique Leone Group + Wobbly + Jacob Felix Heule 8pm, $6-10 There is no overarching theme or aesthetic to this evening of music, both composed and improvised, merely several musicians that we've enjoyed over the years that continue to impress us with their consistent interestingness and desire to challenge themselves. Jacob Felix Heule performs solo "battery and abrasion," highlighting his ability and presumed quest to create compelling non-traditional sounds from his drum kit. Wobbly has been creating experimental music from samples since before the advent of the laptop and numerous software programs that make this about as easy as playing the radio. He is currently working on a history of sample-based music. Dominique Leone's music is "catchy but ambitious; crafted but not sterile; interesting but not pretenti ous. It?s just a lot of fucking fun." Tonight he performs with Curtis McKinney and Alexandra Buschman. The trio of Weasel Walter (drums), Devin Hoff (bass), and Ava Mendoza (guitar) is a new group combining and negotiating the sensibilities of the three musicians with backgrounds in improvisation and complex rock music.

Exploring the sonic properties of his instrument in the acoustic space, Ma++'s "composerly" solo improvisations use extended techniques, processes and formal structures influenced by his long involvement in computer music -- sounding more like a synthesizer than an acoustic instrument. Recently Ma++ has collaborated with Mark Applebaum, Anthony Braxton, John Butcher, Helmut Lachenmann, George Lewis, Miya Masaoka, Meredith Monk, Hyo-shin Na, Pauline Oliveros, Stefano Scodanibbio, Chinary Ung, and many musicians in San Francisco to realize performances of their work.

Here in San Francisco to present their free, open-source music composition software, lloopp, at Expo '74, the first annual Cycling '74 Max/MSP conference, this special Luggage Store event will be their only live public performance in San Francisco. They will play one set as "ease" , their laptop duo, and be joined for a second set by local improvisers Steve Adams (ROVA sax quartet) and Phillip Greenlief on saxes, and John Hanes on electronics. Almost all of klaus filip's art projects have been driven by technological possibilities and the social need to change structures. Among them subVoice (an underground tapemagazine), Sigis Bruder(early electronic songs together with singer Sigi Ecker), Christof Kurzmann's Orchester 33 1/3, Zentrifuge, short films, theatre, dance, sound-installations. he is the musical and electromechanic father of BigBaby, an outstanding intermedial project around a sculpture build by Red White and brought to life by the movements of Cynthia Schwertsik. klaus filip is the inventor and never sleeping developer of the open-source software "lloopp", a musical instrument on the computer to provide open structures for live-improvisation, used by many well-known electronic musicians. While he used to play on the edge of a computers abilities in the past years, he is now reducing the processes to mere sinus-waves, overlapping with themselves and the ever sounding surroundment of a place; searching for the individual limits of perception.

His sensual approach, once in a while assisted by structural concepts, can have a wide range of contradictory outcome, that is always to be understood as a concentrate (essence), leaving out irrelevant points. It's up to the listener to extract a digestable dose. $6-10 sliding ******************************** Outsound Presents is a 501(c)3 non-profit volunteer collective of explorative sound artists who, among other things, are involved in running performance venues, and other D.I.Y. educational programs.

Annelise Zamula - tenor sax, flute / Jim Peterson - alto sax, flute / Jenny Maybee - piano / Bill Noertker - contrabass / Dave Mihaly - drums Noertker's MoxieThe third installment in Noertker's epic Sketches of Catalonia, Suite for Gaud? takes us on a sonic tour of the strange and wondrous world of Catalan architect Antoni Gaud?. From the jaunty "Feathers in a Cap," to the wistful and austere "La Pedrera," from the hallucinatory soundscapes of "Toadstool Mosaic," to the ethereal mysticism of "Parable," Noertker's Moxie constructs a surreal aural portrait of this genius of Catalan architecture. In the last decade, Bill Noertker has composed over 150 original pieces of music for jazz ensemble. His compositions point to the continuity between the jazz tradition and the avant-garde. His use of group improvisation and his attention to the individual voices of each of his bandmates call forth the human element so sorely missing from much of today's jazz. Lisa MezzacappaBait & Switch is San Francisco bassist Lisa Mezzacappa's rollicking garage jazz quartet, playing original music inspired by adventurous jazz masters like Ornette Coleman, Henry Threadgill, the Art Ensemble of Chicago and Eric Dolphy. The music funnels free jazz energy and collectivity into finely honed minimalist compositions that exploit the group's amazing chemistry and fierce sense of groove. ***************************************************** Outsound Presents is a 501(c)3 non-profit volunteer collective of explorative sound artists who, among other You can also make a tax deductible donation by clicking this link below https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_idB07333 ******************************************************************************** THE MUSICIANS UNION HALL 116 9th Street @ Mission St., 1.5 blocks from Civic Center Street BART, San Francisco.

Soja New Music Concert Series #3 Saturday, April 25, 8 pm Soja (2406 Webster, Oakland, b/t 24th & 25th St. - near 19th St. BART and one block from 21 Grand). 8pm: Thea Farhadian (violin, electronics) and Tom Bickley (recorder, electronics) duo. 9pm: Aram Shelton (reeds) and Kanoko Nishi (koto) duo. Wine, Chocolate and Strawberries will be served. $6-$10 sliding scale donation for those who are able. No one turned away for lack of funds. No shoes! Thea Farhadian is an interdisciplinary artist and performer based in the Bay Area. Her work has been seen internationally at venues which include the Meridian Gallery in San Francisco, the Center for Experimental Art and the Aram Kachaturyan Museum in Yerevan, Armenia, the Alternative Museum and Issue Project Room in New York City, Raumschiff Zitrone in Berlin, and the International Women's Electroacoustic Listening Room Project in Amsterdam and Los Angeles. In 2002, she co-founded the Armenian Film Festival in New York City and currently is one of the curators for the film festival in San Francisco. Tom Bickley listens to the world always hoping to hear more and more fully. He plays and teaches recorder, and composes and performs using recorders, electronics and voice. He grew up in the semitropical soundscape of Houston, sojourned in Washington, DC (studying music, religion, and information science) and came to the Bay Area as a composer in residence at Mills College. Musical influences in his life include Gregorian chant, Landini, Lou Harrison, John Cage, John Coltrane, and the natural environment. His work has received support from Meet the Composer, the Pauline Oliveros Foundation, and the Meredith Foundation. Aram Shelton is a multi-instrumentalist on saxophones and clarinets, a composer & improviser, and creates electroacoustic music through computer-based electronics. While the music he makes is spread across a variety of aesthetic lines, it is related by the importance of improvisation to develop material and express musical individuality. He moved to Chicago in the spring of 1999 to play creative jazz and improvised music in many settings, including the groups Dragons 1976, Arrive, and Rapid Croche. Shelton moved out west to study electroacoustic music at Mills College in Oakland, California. In California the groups Flockterkit, Ton Trio, Son of Gunnar Ton of Shel, the Shelton/Healy duo, the Pink Canoes, and Settled represent his music. He maintains his connections to Chicago through the groups Dragons 1976 (Multikulti), Arrive, Rolldown (482 Music), and Keefe Jackson?s Fast Citizens (Delmark). http://www.aramshelton.com/about.html http://theafarhadian.com/ http://www.metatronpress.com/artists/tbickley/ www.sojamartialarts.com Jacob Lindsay www.bayimproviser.com/jacoblindsay www.sojamartialarts.com From jim at majornet.com Thu Apr 23 15:55:54 2009 From: jim at majornet.com (Jim Ryan) Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:55:54 -0700 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] The Thing at The Compound Gallery Tuesday 4/28/09 Message-ID: <5.2.1.1.0.20090423155405.00a85410@majornet.com> The Thing - Tue 4/28/09 8pm at The Compound Gallery 6604 San Pablo Ave. Oakland, CA Admission by donation no one refused ($10 suggested) 2Sets - Venue may be cleared between sets mats gustafsson reeds ingebrigt h?ker flaten bass paal nilssen-love drums The Thing was established in February 2000 when the three musicians met to play several concerts and to record the first CD on Crazy Wisdom, a sub label of Swedish Universal.

We?ll be playing on the outdoor patio stage. Join us as we invigorate the crowd and create some microbrewed music to satiate your burning ears! Free outdoor performance. Then May 30th we?ll be at San Francisco?s Red Poppy Art House. This is a small space and often sells out about 30 minutes prior to doors opening, so arrive a bit early to get tickets! In light of the smaller, more intimate space, we will be approaching our music from a quieter perspective for this show.

These foods have been transformed by culture and community (of the microbial sort) through incredible biochemical fermentation processes. These "cultural" transformations underlie our own cultural development, as humans have relied and reveled in fermented foods for millennia. Zoyres' music represents the geo-social analogue to the biochemical ferment. Our music, of Eastern European origin, brined in the contemporary cultural milieu, is akin to the pickle, still evident in its cucumbral origin, but with a taste and texture transformed. ************************************************ Zoyres Eastern European Wild Ferment Mike Perlmutter -- saxes and clarinet Liam Staskawicz ? trombone Jonathan Russell ? clarinet and bass clarinet Josh Sirotiak - tuba Eddie Pollard ? drums http://www.zoyres.com myspace.com/zoyres youtube.com/zoyres _________________________________________________________________ Rediscover Hotmail?: Now available on your iPhone or BlackBerry http://windowslive.com/RediscoverHotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Rediscover_Mobile2_042009 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Flaten (NO) - Bass Paal Nilssen-Love (NO) - Drums "Tapping into rock's most primal forces with the fire and fury that's something to behold" Mojo The Thing was established in the Spring of 2000 when the three musicians met do play several concerts and to record the first CD on Crazy Wisdom, a sub label of Swedish Universal. In 2001, they also recorded another CD on the same label as a quartet with Joe McPhee. Both CD?s are out of print. The trio was a long desired constellation where several musical styles meet with very high energy. All members are influenced by different traditions of free music derived from Germany, England and America, and these influences are to be felt tho not necessary heard. When the trio started out, the book consisted mainly of tunes by Don Cherry, hence the group's name. Since Joe McPhee`s participation, the group's repertoire has included other free jazz standards by David Murray, Frank Lowe and Norman Howard. Also, the groups enthusiasm towards rock music, is heard when they play "To Bring You My Love" by PJ Harvey on the second CD. Today the book has expanded to include tunes by The White Stripes, The Sonics and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. This is just an example that explains how close musical styles are today, how similar the energy is and can be, and how much today`s audience is melted together, devoted to creative music. The Thing is now signed on the Norwegian label Smalltown Supersound. *Mats Gustafsson *is today Sweden's and one of Europe's biggest names on the free music scene. Through groups like Gush, AALY trio and Peter Br?tzmann`s Chicago Tentet, he has established himself as a very powerful saxophonist, and has somewhat reinvented the way of playing the saxophone. *Ingebrigt H?ker Flaten* and *Paal Nilssen-Love *has become known as Norway`s heaviest rhythm-section. Since they`re long time collaboration started in 1992, they have been working in several groups, amongst them are School Days with Ken Vandermark, Scorch trio with Raoul Bj?rkenheim, and the Swedish/Norwegian jazz-group Atomic.

Dear SFGC Friends and Family, *Join SFGC for a one-of-kind performance in Wine Country!* On the heels of a ground-breaking debut at Lincoln Center, the San Francisco Girls Chorus prepares for a rare performance collaboration in its most exclusive venue yet. On May 16 and 17, SFGC will perform in *Fall Within*, an avant-garde performance series in partnership with choreographer/director Joe Goode and the JGPG dance company?presenting over 30 years of innovative, site-specific and collaborative movement theater works. * * Fall Within will premiere inside the Ann Hamilton tower, an internationally acclaimed architectural sculpture at the Oliver Ranch in Geyserville, CA. The Tower, designed by sculptor Ann Hamilton, is a visual marvel. Two double-helix staircases will act as the ?stage? and ?auditorium? for performers and audience. ?When you go into the tower you feel completely dislocated from the rest of the world,? says Joe Goode, ?like you are in another time and place. I want to heighten this sense of dislocation by creating an aural and kinetic environment that allows the viewer to drift in an unreal space, to ?fall within? a memory or fantasy that is private and personal.? In a clear indication of the versatility and growing demand for the Girls Chorus, JGPG sought out the San Francisco Girls Chorus to create a soundscape conveying the mood of the Tower: darkness, light, intimacy, separation, and mystery. This will be a unique opportunity to visit the Ann Hamilton Tower, which is rarely open to the public, and to witness a one-of-kind performance created especially for this space. It is also an opportunity to enjoy the local area by visiting nearby wineriesor to explore Geyservilleor Healdsburg . *Please note* that the performance venue is standing space only and regrettably is not handicap-accessible. For questions, please contact Joe Goode Performance Group at (415) 561-6565. *JOIN US!

On May 16 and 17, SFGC will perform in *Fall Within*, an avant-garde performance series in partnership with choreographer/director Joe Goode and the JGPG dance company?presenting over 30 years of innovative, site-specific and collaborative movement theater works. * * Fall Within will premiere inside the Ann Hamilton tower, an internationally acclaimed architectural sculpture at the Oliver Ranch in Geyserville, CA. The Tower, designed by sculptor Ann Hamilton, is a visual marvel. Two double-helix staircases will act as the ?stage? and ?auditorium? for performers and audience. ?When you go into the tower you feel completely dislocated from the rest of the world,? says Joe Goode, ?like you are in another time and place. I want to heighten this sense of dislocation by creating an aural and kinetic environment that allows the viewer to drift in an unreal space, to ?fall within? a memory or fantasy that is private and personal.? In a clear indication of the versatility and growing demand for the Girls Chorus, JGPG sought out the San Francisco Girls Chorus to create a soundscape conveying the mood of the Tower: darkness, light, intimacy, separation, and mystery. This will be a unique opportunity to visit the Ann Hamilton Tower, which is rarely open to the public, and to witness a one-of-kind performance created especially for this space. It is also an opportunity to enjoy the local area by visiting nearby wineriesor to explore Geyservilleor Healdsburg . *Please note* that the performance venue is standing space only and regrettably is not handicap-accessible. For questions, please contact Joe Goode Performance Group at (415) 561-6565. *JOIN US! Fall Within presents 3 performances only:* Saturday, May 16, 2009 at 4:00pm $100 Performance and post-show Soir?e Sunday, May 17, 2009 at 2:00pm $45 performance only Sunday, May 17, 2009 at 4:30pm $45 performance only *For tickets and information, visit **www.joegoode.org* * or call (415) 561-6565.* -- ------------------------------------- Outsound New Music Summit 2009 Schedule: http://www.outsound.org/summit/09/schedule_details09.html Tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/61377 ------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Rent Romus, CJ Borosque, Ray Schaeffer, Philip Everett Tri-Cornered Tent Show Erase the Past www.edgetonerecords.com/catalog/4089.html This is the sixth installment from Tri-Cornered Tent Show showcasing their thirty five year history of exploration and discovery. A side-ways journey though surf, sci-fi space funk and psychedelica via free jazz mixed with a little black metal and lo-fi electronics that nods to both a Lovecraftian past and the futura of Sun-RA and Philip K. Dick... Philip Everett, Ray Schaeffer, Anthony Flores ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CD Releases ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 15 Degrees Below Zero Resting on A http://www.edgetonerecords.com/catalog/4088.html With their third full length CD "Resting on A", 15 Degrees Below Zero re-introduce the listener to their signature blend of guitar, digital and analog atmospheres, and noise. The trio continues to explore a territory of noise-oriented soundscapes and compositional narratives that emerge between the planes of discord and melody, but with this release, a feeling of spaciousness underlies the existing tension. Daniel Blomquist, Michael Addison Mersereau, Mark Wilson Genre/Style: Electronic Industrial ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Noertker's Moxie Sketches of Catalonia Vol. 3: Suite for Gaud? 1 http://www.edgetonerecords.com/catalog/4087.html The third installment in Noertker's epic Sketches of Catalonia, Suite for Gaud? takes us on a sonic tour of the strange and wondrous world of Catalan architect Antoni Gaud?. From the jaunty "Feathers in a Cap," to the wistful and austere "La Pedrera," from the hallucinatory soundscapes of "Toadstool Mosaic," to the ethereal mysticism of "Parable," Noertker's Moxie constructs a surreal aural portrait of this genius of Catalan architecture. In the last decade, Bill Noertker has composed over 150 original pieces of music for jazz ensemble. His compositions point to the continuity between the jazz tradition and the avant-garde. His use of group improvisation and his attention to the individual voices of each of his bandmates call forth the human element so sorely missing from much of today's jazz. Bill Noertker, Annelise Zamula, Jason Levis Jenny Maybee, Dave Mihaly, Jim Peterson Niels Myrner, Hugh Schick Genre/Style: Jazz/Avantgarde ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ gal*in_dog with Charlotte Hug Lift http://www.edgetonerecords.com/catalog/4086.html Charlotte Hug, Swiss born and gal*in_dog aka Guillermo Galindo, born in Mexico City met at the XIV Sound Symposium in Newfoundland Canada 2006. Both of them trained under the Western classical music tradition, adopting similar musical paths through unconventional playing techniques and merging fragments of their own cultural backgrounds into two original, 21st century musical voices. Lift is an invitation to ride over a third musical rail into primal territories. This CD is a combination of alternative musical ideas, which are surprising to both the listener and the musicians themselves. Lift is more than just a musical exploration. This pristine recording is a dialogue between two experimental musicians of different cultural backgrounds returning to their primeval roots in a time of virtual migration and cultural technosis. Genre/Style: Avantgarde Experimental ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Various Artists Mudwagon, A blackmetalfreejazzimprov compilation vol. 1 http://www.edgetonerecords.com/catalog/4085.html Jazz is the tradition of moving forward...the tradition of changing the traditions to suit the needs of the times and the hearts of those brave enough to believe not only in the roots of the music but in its ever changing chameleon-like qualities. The artists on this compilation do not as a general rule play Carnegie hall, but in their hearts burn the true future and nature of jazz. This album is a series of pieces played by different groups who all hold true the Free-Jazz aesthetic, with a difference which will be noticeable to the listener. The abandon in these recordings references an earlier time when the music was new and angry, while the cut up fragmented black metal broken-down fragmented, totally devastated aspect of this sound pulls from the later history of punk and metal that many of the musicians on this record come from both culturally and musically. Mudwagon is a recording by four living generations, a state of mind, broken van full of tired explorers, empty gas stations, graffiti covered toilets, jelly donuts, coffee in a hotel a 4 am, ugly garages, and beautiful states.

Musicians who do not want to compromise their music to fit into a narrow definition of "commercially viable" and those that double their efforts to support their ideas and dreams define what Edgetone is all about. When you buy from Edgetone you are directly supporting the artist.

Blamo! Zeph! Terror Apart combines the absurdity of noise with the intellect of sound. Mainly working with percussive instruments and vox in previous music projects, her sound art is an experiment with eerie intergalactic electronic efex, very physical noises with wind instruments, field recordings, and sometimes some smashy smashy. Her performance makes mystic and comical sense of a lifetime of aural chaos - cartoons, white noise, sinks running water, fire alarms, outer space, ancient cows lowing in mesopotamia, what the food pyramid would sound like if it talked. Critcal Monkey Robi Kauker's amazing solo project employing sound design expertise, electroacoustics, modular synth electronics, sure to be stunner. With corker mindbend releases on Resipiscent and Dolor Del Estamago, this whiz has a keen ear for sound design, foley, sound effects, noise, modular synth composition, and overall wherewithall. You folks are in for a treat. Rubber O Cement "In 1994 Rubber O Cement was put together as a direct idea for a super science future that will happen." For the Luggage Store Gallery, Rubber o Cement is presenting The Man O Sores project. It is a collapsible development with Errth values based on sunlight and exposure to soluble minerals. The convincing super-functions of this creature is the suit which covers a virus laden sore-filled bacteriaphaged body under a Aamma Gristle (a sore enhancing "body") Shanking Cabinet ?? surrounded by a canopy of detachable (and widely stretchable) sun receptive wings. Most of his body is suspended over a main hydrogen poulet tube flushing it with pulch ice from an underground garbage-geyser resource pool. In each suite Rubber O Cement plays you will hear the crunch of the minerals softened by gift card effects and hangnoose." Pink Canoes "...are an electro-acoustic improvisation quintet from Oakland, California. Their vocabulary is as varied as the instruments they play, which includes, but is not limited to prepared guitars, saxophones and laptops to homemade analog synthesizers, circuit bent toys and other salvaged electronics. Zachary Watkins - electronics/mythical creatures / Travis Johns - bass/trumpet/guitar/electronics / Noah Philips - guitar/electronics / Aram Shelton - saxophone/trumpet/clarinet/electronics" $6-10 sliding ******************************** Outsound Presents is a 501(c)3 non-profit volunteer collective of explorative sound artists who, among other things, are involved in running performance venues, and other D.I.Y. educational programs.

Hopefully they'll be able to work out an agreement with the neighbors and we can rebook the show, but for now, please scratch it from your calendars. We do look forward to seeing you May 30th at San Francisco?s Red Poppy Art House. This is a small space and often sells out about 30 minutes prior to doors opening, so arrive a bit early to get tickets! In light of the more intimate setting, we will be approaching our music from a quieter perspective for this show. Sat, May 30, 2009 8:00 - 10:00 PM Red Poppy Art House, 2698 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA 94110 $10-15 -- The name "Zoyres" derives from the Yiddish term for fermented vegetables, "zoyers." These foods have been transformed by culture and community (of the microbial sort) through incredible biochemical fermentation processes. These "cultural" transformations underlie our own cultural development, as humans have relied and reveled in fermented foods for millennia. Zoyres' music represents the geo-social analogue to the biochemical ferment. Our music, of Eastern European origin, brined in the contemporary cultural milieu, is akin to the pickle, still evident in its cucumbral origin, but with a taste and texture transformed. ************************************************ Zoyres Eastern European Wild Ferment Mike Perlmutter -- saxes and clarinet Liam Staskawicz ? trombone Jonathan Russell ? clarinet and bass clarinet Josh Sirotiak - tuba Eddie Pollard ? drums http://www.zoyres.com myspace.com/zoyres youtube.com/zoyres _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live?
