Outsound Presents
Thursday, August 20 2009 8:00 PM
Guest Curation by Travis Johns
8pm: Drew Ceccato - Analog wind synth, recently transplanted from Philly
Christopher Riggs - Guitar from Detroit
9pm: M. Mara Ann - FEUL, the current environmental situation
through the lens of improvisational music-dance-theater

Drew Ceccato grew up in Ann Arbor, MI where he started woodwind studies at age 10. He later attended Interlochen Arts Academy and New England Conservatory of Music for saxophone performance. Today, Drew lives in Philadelphia, PA and is working on multiple projects across many different genres.

Guitarist Riggs graduated from Oberlin Conservatory where he studied composition and the classical guitar. Chris's recent slew of solo
performances and solo tapes include his "DRACO" on Hanson Records. His guitar rethink has found numerous fans in listeners prompting David Keenan
of The Wire to point out: "Riggs music bears little sonic relation to the physical fact of the guitar with reverberant percussive taps and creaky strings suggesting a more barren minimalist/compositional style than anything approaching noise or free jazz guitar."  Recent playing partners include the godfather of modern guitar Joe Morris who made his first recording with another guitarist featuring Riggs as his co-conspirator. Riggs also performs with Trauma, Graveyards, and in groupings with Mike Khoury and Matt Endahl.

Rounding
out the evening will be Fuel -M. Mara-Ann's Third Installation to the
Containment Scenario: FUEL, directed by M. Mara-Ann, explores the current environmental situation
through the lens of improvisational music-dance-theater.

M. Mara Ann:
As an artist working with language, M. Mara-Ann
expresses her creativity through writing, singing, and mixed media
performance. inspired by the musicality of spoken language, the
graphical architecture of writen text, her love of philosophy and
theory, and the limitless exactitude of abstraction, Mara's approach to
language is fearless with a passion for *hybridity* and *experimental
forms*. often, Mara's artistic process involves the creation of a core
manuscript such as lighthouse, or more recently Containment Scenario,
from which a family of related multi-media works emerge both as excerpt
and exponent. this constellating dialogue can be seen with the CD
Luminous, the audio-visual installation the mirrorrim, and the
multi-media performance Containment Scenario as they relate to the
book, Containment Scenario: DisLoInterMedTextIdentCation: Horse
Medicine just out from OBooks. as a poet that sings, a writer who
performs, and a storyteller creating immersive multi-media shows,
Mara's greatest creative goal is to help inspire a more sustainable,
compassionate, and peaceful world for all of us.
