I just wanted to make sure you received this press release for this great event. Thanks so much, David FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Reel Change Film with Live music Series Reel #1 From DADA to MAYA - DADA films of the 1920's plus Maya Deren Films from the 1940s featuring live music by REEL CHANGE. Who: REEL CHANGE with DADA & Maya Deren Films Where: Meridian Gallery, 535 Powell St., San Francisco, CA When: Saturday, February 21, 2009, 8:00 P.M. Cost: $10.00, students $5. For reservations: (415) 826-2765 or e-mail dmichalak at sbcglobal.net THE PERFORMANCE Reel #1 of this series includes the seldom seen films: Hans Richter's - Ghost Before Breakfast, Man Ray's - Return To Reason, Maya Deren's - Meshes In The Afternoon and others TBA featuring live soundtracks by Reel Change. The group has invited three special guest musicians for this event expanding from a trio to a sextet for this mysterious and haunting musical journey. Dada is considered to be the groundwork for abstract art and sound poetry, a starting point for performance art, a prelude to post modernism, an influence on pop art, a celebration of anti-art to be later embraced for anarcho-political uses in the 1960s and the movement that lay the foundation for Surrealism. Maya Deren was a dancer, choreographer, poet, writer and photographer. In the cinema she was a director, writer, cinematographer, editor, performer, entrepreneur and pioneer in experimental filmmaking in the United States. Like Jean-Luc Godard and Sergei Eisenstein, Maya Deren was both a film theorist and a filmmaker. Unlike these luminaries, Deren's writing remains relatively obscure in film theory and her films are rarely screened outside of experimental or feminist film courses. Reel Change was started by filmmaker/musician David Michalak and Andrew Voigt to perform live soundtracks for David's Eye-Full Films and other experimental works. They have performed at festivals and showcases throughout the Bay Area and are celebrating their 10 year anniversary with a series of film shows featuring their live soundtracks. Reel Change is: David Michalak - lap steel, percussion Andrew Voigt - winds Tom Nunn - inventions And guests: Doug Carroll - cello Leif Shackelford - viola Karen Stackpole - gongs, percussion 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 performances and compositions characterized by shimmering passages, abstract snapshots and haunting representations of natural elements. Besides Reel Change, David plays in his instrumental ensembles Doctor Bob and Ghost In The House. Andrew Voigt is one of the founding members of the highly acclaimed Rova Saxophone Quartet. His monthly showcase, Studio For (Experimental Arts) featured his compositions for Dance and Theater and included: J.A. Deanne, Duck Baker, Morgan Guberman, Aurora, Gino Robair and many others. He currently plays with The Saturday Night Band (on Wednesday) and is working on a new CD with Reel Change . Tom Nunn has designed, built and performed with original musical instruments since 1975. His instruments typically utilize commonly available materials, are sculptural in appearance, utilize contact microphones for amplification, and are designed specifically for improvisation with elements of ambiguity, unpredictability and nonlinearity. In addition to the more than 50 instruments he has made, Tom has performed extensively throughout the San Francisco Bay Area over the last 20 years, and in Canada and Europe. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For the Quickening Moon performance Theory Garden will include guitar, cello, flute, percussion, sax, trumpet, bass, and vocals and live signal processing via laptop computers. VoxMaids is made up of JoJo Razor and Cynthia Weyuker, two veteran story-telling vocalists who use various instruments and loop boxes to create garden theater. The story of the VoxMaids is considered neo-folk story music, played out in moments of insanity and beauty. Lately they have begun the arduous task of combining music, performance, film, improv and ritual together to create a fertile ground for the source, or what they like to call Searching for the Voice of the Third. With the precision measurements of alchemists, Cynthia and JoJo aim to create a soundscaped foundation on which the Voice of the Third may not only be heard but seen. With this combination it insures that no two performances are alike and instead breathes life into the moment, not only for the performers but for the audience. THE PROGRAM: 1. Theory Garden - Kuu (Moon) Kuu, like other pieces conceived and performed by Theory Garden is built on an evolving set of dynamic sonic processes architecture by Mika Pontecorvo. This process architecture serves as both a ambient soundscape for the individual players improvisations and as a means of modulating the player's work. For the purposes of this performance the primordial rhythmic relationship between the moon and the life forces it influences will be derived by looking at stages of gestational development at the time of the Quickening Moon and using that relationship to modulate the performance timbrel and rhythmic structure. This will be accomplished by using the day and month of both the performers and audience to drive the generative processes of the performance electronics. INTERMISSION 2. VoxMaids - The Quickening Moon The Quickening Moon finds the VoxMaids asleep under the illuminated dark sky. Video projections change throughout the performance ritual, from darkness to twilight. Soundscapes provide a place for the breath, the calling voice, for improv and ritual. Song 1 ~ Winter The Earth Ritual Weaving (bones) video projections: darkness, texture, mercury soundscapes: earth, roots, dormancy performance ritual: physical weaving Song 2 ~ Electricity The Water Ritual Phoning (blood) video projections: darkness, velvet, soundscapes: earth, roots, dormancy, drums performance ritual: movement Song 3 ~ MerryGoRound The Air Ritual (lungs) video projections: darkness, movement, patterns soundscapes: breath, wind, bells, chimes, didgeridoo, accordion performance ritual: the breath About Full Moon Concert Series Curated by Outsound Presents Board member Polly Moller, the Full Moon concert series is now underway.

All proceeds go directly to the musicians. I'm amazed that the Bay Area is home to two first rate improvising gong players. I'm more amazed that I've never heart them play together. This week we fix that: Jennifer Wilsey & Karen Stackpole, two gong specialists with polyrhythmic, micro-timbral sensibilities will play as a duo. The Fei/Brown duo and Kinda Green (Djll/Perkis) were two highlights of last summer's Skronkathon, with Fei and Brown tearing the roof off with high-watt free-jazz skronk and Djll & Perkis fusing steaming industrial machine timbres with almost-too-wry humor.

It combines elements of holography, music, video synthesis, visionary film, electronic music, sculpture and improvisation to create a unique new artform. Emphasis is focused on exploration of new, previously unseen 3D animations, patterns, scenes and glyphs, not on photorealistic imagery. The Hologlyphic Funkalizer is a performance based Analog/Digital video synthesis system, that displays moving true 3D images, intertwined with music and spatial sound. Visuals and sounds are controlled by musical keyboards, acoustic instruments, sound sculptures and a unique control panel. Sounds can be associated and interact with images, modulate each other and undergo vast spatial transformations in the aural and visual realm. nate boyce with chen santa maria Nate Boyce's analog and digital skills merge to form entirely new and insanely psychedelic videos that explore the thresholds of perceptual ambiguity. Oakland duo Chen Santa Maria mix electro acoustic sound sources, samplers, drum machines, and guitars to hone their varied outputs. Their collaboration results in stunning and immersive performances of aural and optic strobe. about music by the eyeful a small part of the Creative New Music Series tended lovingly by Outsound Presents, Music by the Eyeful features inventions in visual music: from musician-filmmaker collaborations to optical instrument inventors to performative projectionists, and experimental work that highlights the sonic properties of visual art and the visual properties of music.

The group has invited three special guest musicians for this event expanding from a trio to a sextet for this mysterious and haunting musical journey. Maya Deren was a dancer, choreographer, poet, writer and photographer. In the cinema she was a director, writer, cinematographer, editor, performer, entrepreneur and pioneer in experimental filmmaking in the United States. Like Jean-Luc Godard and Sergei Eisenstein, Maya Deren was both a film theorist and a filmmaker. Unlike these luminaries, Deren's writing remains relatively obscure in film theory and her films are rarely screened outside of experimental or feminist film courses. Reel Change was started by filmmaker/musician David Michalak and Andrew Voigt to perform live soundtracks for David's Eye-Full Films and other experimental works. They have performed at festivals and showcases throughout the Bay Area and are celebrating their 10 year anniversary with a series of film shows featuring their live soundtracks.

Most of these structures are either tunes from the jazz idiom, or mutations of these tunes. Well, but then they also try to do more extended things and such. Simon is an alto saxophonist working in the area of free improvisation. He performs in settings from solo to large groups. During the mid 90?s he established Club Orange with tenor saxophonist John Grieve. A fortnightly, then weekly club for free jazz and improvised music in north London. It quickly became a venue where just about everyone from the improvised music scene in the UK as well as some from Europe and North America could be heard. The trio ?badland? Simon Rose alto sax, Simon Fell double bass and Steve Noble drums (initially Mark Sanders), have toured extensively, had three albums released and a number of radio sessions including one for BBC Jazz on 3. Influences are broad and as well as European and American ideas relating to free improvisation (from those such as Derek Bailey, Evan Parker, Peter Brotzmann, Han Bennink) he is also interested in musical ideas on particularly wind and especially reed instruments as used historically throughout the world and particularly in Asia. ***************************************************** One might call saxophonist and flutist Masaru Koga a product of the internationalization of corporate Japan in the 70's.

Each concert features the visiting artists performing their own repertoire, contrasted with sfSoundGroup's performance of classic avant-garde works. In addition, both groups collaborate in performances of compositions ranging from the spontaneous to highly structured. It's a rare and *affordable* opportunity to hear musical exchanges and cross-fertilization of genres and styles! Fri Feb 27, 2009 : 8p the !nternat!onal noth!ng (Ka! Fagasch!nsk! & M!chael Th!eke, clarinets from Berlin, Germany) http://kylie.klingt.org/pro-tin.html :: http://www.myspace.com/fagaschinski John Cage - "Music For____" (1984-7) Morton Feldman - "Projection 2" (1962) Ka! Fagasch!nsk! & M!chael Th!eke are members of Berlin's vibrant echtzeitmusik scene. "the !nternat!onal noth!ng" is their project working exclusively on compositions (no improv). Both instruments melt into one sound, sometimes sounding more than just two instruments through the extended use of multiphonics and difference tones. Their pieces have a delicate and slowed down quality and celebrate a unique and timeless beauty. They will present a collection of pieces developed between 2003 and 2009. Complimenting the duo, sfSoundGroup performs experimental compositions by John Cage and Morton Feldman. The concert also features improvisations with "the !nternat!onal noth!ng" and members of sfSound. Sat Feb 28, 2009 : 8p L? Quan Ninh & Michel Doneda Duo (percussion and saxophone from France) http://www.lequanninh.net :: http://puffskydd.free.fr/neda/ Robert Erickson - "Pacific Sirens" (1969) for ensemble and tape Kyle Bruckmann - "Tarpit" (2009) for L? Quan Ninh, Michel Doneda, sfSoundGroup, and CD playback Percussionist Lê Quan Ninh performs contemporary improvised and composed music. He generally plays a "minimal" setup consisting of a bass drum activated by rubbing various other instruments on its surface -- creating a strikingly "maximal" sound. Michel Doneda is a saxophonist who has been active in the European improvised music scene since 1980. Developing one of the most extensive musical vocabularies in free improvisation, his playing can be at turns lyrical, playful or raucous, and switch from the liveliness of street melodies to circular breathing, microscopic sounds or shrieking outbursts. Sun Mar 1, 2009 : 8p Domenico Sciajno + Gene Coleman + Marina Peterson Trio (electronics, bass clarinet & cello from Italy and U.S.) http://www.ixem.it/sciajno :: http://www.soundfield.org/ genecoleman.html :: http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~petersom/events.html Domenico Sciajno - "KORZO" (1994) Gene Coleman - "Black in White" (2007) Elliott Carter - "Triple Duo" (1983) Italian electronic musician/composer/bassist Domenico Sciajno in a trio with Philadelphia based clarinetist/composer Gene Coleman and cellist Marina Peterson performing compositions and improvisations. With an emphasis on soft sounds and radical uses of instrument sound producing possibilities, these composer-performers occupy a unique sound world between noise and music. sfSoundGroup performs a graphic score by Sciajno and a composition by Coleman for koto, bass clarinet and cello.

Starts Feb. 24 8pm with: Lords of Outland and The Spirit Moves Us The Compound Gallery, 6604 San Pablo Avenue, Oakland 94608 . . . read on . . . The Compound Gallery, jimzeen productions (that's me Jim Ryan), and Outsound Presents are sponsoring a new experimental music series that opens at the "Compound Gallery" http://thecompoundgallery.com/ in Oakland on February 24th at 8pm. Concerts will take place at The Compound Gallery, 6604 San Pablo Avenue, Oakland 94608, California at about 8:00 pm on the fourth Tuesday of the month through May 2009. If all goes well the concerts may continue throughout the year. The idea is to present unfamiliar, original, weird, and astonishing approaches to musical performance as art rather than entertainment (this is not to deny that the shows might be entertaining). Music, the most conservative of the arts, gets short shrift when moving beyond mind-numbing clich?s requiring no special attention from the listener. This series will offer sounds you have not yet heard. Although there is no admission charge, we ask for contributions. Ten dollars is suggested give what you can, no one turned away -- eighty percent goes to the musicians, the rest is for expenses. There is parking on 66th St. next to the Gallery which is also accessible from downtown Oakland and Berkeley by the 72 bus line. The first Concert on Tuesday 2/24/09 features: Rent Romus' Lords of Outland : broke from its 'straight-ahead' straight jacket in 1993 and through a series of transmogrifications morphed into something some people call "Free Jazz Black Metal." Culture of Pain and You Can Sleep When You're Dead! are recorded results of this alchemy. You can find these life-threatening CDs on www.edgetonerecords.com. The 'Lords' feature Rent's saxophone mastery and a current line-up of sonically disturbed sound artists Everett heinous percussion, and Ray Schaeffer evil e-bass. The Spirit Moves Us : a recently formed trio of veteran improvisers flowing to the East Bay from the mid-west (Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, & St. Paul) through r&b, jazz, and avant experimental groups. Eastbania has been home to them for many years now, and they have worked together frequently in various configurations. Spirit on percussion is considered by local and national aficionados as an original master of the genre. Bob Marsh on cello has brought the instrument to an awesome freshness and versatility, and Jim Ryan has performed regularly throughout the country and locally with his Forward Energy bands www.myspace.com/forwardenergy .

Most of these structures are either tunes from the jazz idiom, or mutations of these tunes. Well, but then they also try to do more extended things and such. Simon is an alto saxophonist working in the area of free improvisation. He performs in settings from solo to large groups. During the mid 90?s he established Club Orange with tenor saxophonist John Grieve. A fortnightly, then weekly club for free jazz and improvised music in north London. It quickly became a venue where just about everyone from the improvised music scene in the UK as well as some from Europe and North America could be heard. The trio ?badland? Simon Rose alto sax, Simon Fell double bass and Steve Noble drums (initially Mark Sanders), have toured extensively, had three albums released and a number of radio sessions including one for BBC Jazz on 3. Influences are broad and as well as European and American ideas relating to free improvisation (from those such as Derek Bailey, Evan Parker, Peter Brotzmann, Han Bennink) he is also interested in musical ideas on particularly wind and especially reed instruments as used historically throughout the world and particularly in Asia.

In 2002 they shifted the project towards the composition of pieces that are focused on tone material in a kind of pipe-organ style, making it sound like one instrument, or more than two, through the comforts that multi-phonics and difference tones offer.

SAN FRANCISCO -- If you are looking for an invigorating new musical experience ranging from new through-composed gems to electronic music and free improv with graphical scores; have we got a deal for you! SFCCO, the only orchestral ensemble comprised of compsers, has the largest selection of new and pre-owned new-music premieres happening at Old First Church (1725 Sacramento Street at Van Ness) on February 28, 2009 at 8pm. There is great value! in new music by: John Beeman, Michael Cooke, Philip Freihofner, Gary Friedman, David Graves, Loren Jones, Lisa Scola Prosek, David Sprung, Clare Twohy, Davide Verotta, Erling Wold, and Mark Alburger. Michael Cooke considers quantum mechanics and general relativity in ?String Theory? utilizing graphical notation and free improvisation for the entire ensemble. Phil Freihofner's ?What Are You Going to Dream Tonight? presents technology-driven free writing for oboe, clarinet, electric keyboard, and viola. From the dreamy to the hallucinogenic with Davide Verotta?s ?Yanitl?. David Graves and Clare Twohy team up for a fire sale in the collaborative ?Fireproof Winds? Lisa Scola Prosek?s ?Serenade for Trumpet? is based on a melody by her son Eduard Prosek (who is also the soloist) and the drive-in movie side of film noir. Loren Jones? ?February's Children? expands the ensemble with electric guitar and bass, harp, synthesizer, and percussion. David Sprung's ?Serendipities? is an ambitious piece for large ensemble. Special deals for you thrill seakers with Erling Wold's bawdy ?Two Orchestral Waltzes for Lynne? and Mark Alburger's deliciously inappropriate ?Sex and the Orchestra?. If more traditional means are your thing, consider ?Wind Sextet? by Gary Friedman and ?Adago and Dance? by John Beeman.. It's a beautiful program folks and a real Free-for-all (but for you, $15)!

Curran discusses these large-scale works, which often occur in natural spaces and urban environments such as a large lake in Berlin, a riverbank in Donaueschingen, along the eastern seaboard of the United States, or a train traveling to and from Bologna.

He earned a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1983. He moved to Los Angeles in 1988 and to the San Francsico Bay Area in 2002 where he currently lives and works in Pacifica California. Steven has worked on projects collaboratively and solo in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, Mexico, and across the United States. Steven's main instrument is known as The Ring. Recently Steven played his other instrument the bowed bellows on tracks of the Rent Romus and Thollem McDonas recording project Bloom, and will soon work with Thollem and Rent on other CD projects. In 2005 he lent his oil well head bell tree to CWRK Music Company to record samples to be used as part of a public interactive music installation in Hong Kong. Between mowing the grass and stringing wire in impossible situations, Dan Ake brings his 30+ years as a resident of San Francisco and a veteran of the SF Art wars, both visual and aural, to the Eddie the Rat line up. Mr. Ake has designed, built and plays a number of instruments employed by EtR including LoBro, Spike, 2X6, and the Long Boy. His approach is to "Start stupid and learn by doing in an attempt to maintain his musical virginity." Open 24/7 are words to live, work and suck by. Mr. Ake is adept at all three but not stuck in any one. ***************************************************** 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. programs.

This is their last show in the USA - so check it out.

Fagasch!nsk! & M!chael Th!eke are members of Berlin's vibrant echtzeitmusik scene. "the !nternat!onal noth!ng" is their project working exclusively on compositions (no improv). Both instruments melt into one sound, sometimes sounding more than just two instruments through the extended use of multiphonics and difference tones. Their pieces have a delicate and slowed down quality and celebrate a unique and timeless beauty. They will present a collection of pieces developed between 2003 and 2009. Complimenting the duo, sfSoundGroup performs experimental compositions by John Cage and Morton Feldman. The concert also features improvisations with "the !nternat!onal noth!ng" and members of sfSound. PERFORMERS Alexa Beattie - viola Kyle Bruckmann - oboe Tom Dambly - trumpet Ka!
