Please come and join us for a great night of music! 1 night only, Saturday, January 10th. Rova Meets Ghost in the House San Francisco Community Music Center, 544 Capp Street, Between 20th & 21st, San Francisco, CA 94110 January 10th, 2009, 8:00 P.M. Cost: $10.00 For reservations: (415) 826-2765 or e-mail dmichalak at sbcglobal.net The Ghost In The House Concert Series - a series of shows featuring Edgetone Records' Ghost In The House and special guest artists. THE PERFORMANCE The acclaimed all-saxophone ensemble, Rova, meets up with Ghost in the House at the Community Music Center in San Francisco's Mission District. With their unique instrumental combinations the two ensembles will present an evening of adventurous music making - performing as Rova and Ghost in the House, but also mixing it up with different combinations of the two groups. ROVA will present a set of original works for saxophone quartet. For more than 3 decades Rova has explored ways to blend composed and improvised musical elements to create genre bending pieces to the delight of audiences around the world. Community Music Center is an ideal setting to get up close and personal with the foursome. Rova will offer the San Francisco premier of Steve Adams' Parallel Construction #3 from his series of works that blends interval and set derived written sections with options for improvising soloists. http://www.rova.org/ Ghost In the House will be performing "other worldly scenarios" from their recent CD on the artist collective label Edgetone Records as well as new work including, "Dreams of the Tin Man" and "Beyond" a tribute to the late Toyoji Tomita. http://www.edgetonerecords.com/ghostinthehouse.html SOME QUOTES about ROVA The Penguin Guide to Jazz calls its music "a teeming cosmos of saxophone sounds" created by "deliberately eschewing conventional notions about swing [and] prodding at the boundaries of sound and space..." about Ghost in the House " Exotic and ethereal without being totally weightless, soothing without turning into sonic wallpaper, deep and mysterious... definitely worth your attention." - The one true dead angel ROVA Saxophone Quartet, the acclaimed all-saxophone ensemble, has fundamentally extended the horizons of music since forming in 1977. Positioning themselves at music's most dynamic nexus, Rova has become an important leader in the movement of genre-bending music that has its roots in post-bop free jazz, avant-rock, and 20th century new music as well as traditional and popular styles of Africa, Asia, Europe and the United States. With its potent mix of stellar musicianship and compositional creativity, Rova explores the synthesis of composition and collective improvisation. The result is adventurous works that are ardent and riveting, exhilarating and free-spirited. While much of Rova's music is composed by its members, the group has also collaborated with and commissioned new works by a wide range of creative artists. Since its founding, Rova has released over two dozen recordings of original music. ROVA is: Jon Raskin - baritone, alto and sopranino Larry Ochs - tenor and sopranino Steve Adams - alto and sopranino Bruce Ackley - soprano and tenor Conceived by filmmaker & musician David Michalak, GHOST IN THE HOUSE explores the ethereal and elemental soundscapes where music suggests an image; a murder mystery, a visitation in a dream or a cataclysmic storm. "The music reflects a series of descriptions by its creators, who picture hypothetical images and dreams while trying to represent them through the strangest sounds they can obtain from their instruments... truly beautiful..." - Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes "These are the films I couldn't afford to make." David Michalak Ghost In The House Is: Kyle Bruckmann - Oboe, English Horn Karen Stackpole - Gongs, percussion Tom Nunn - Inventions David Michalak - lap steel, buffalo drum This show is graciously supported in part by Amoeba Music.

The three night Festival of audio art will feature classic as well as recent and new fixed media compositions by 30 local and international composers. The expansive venue is uniquely suited to shaping the sound which will be diffused live over a pristine surround system consisting of 20+ speakers. Seated in the dark, it's a unique opportunity to experience music forming, literally, around you. This year marks both 50- and 60-year anniversaries, being 50 years since many now-classic "tape music" pieces had their world premieres, and being 60 years since Pierre Schaeffer presented "Concert de Bruits," the first concert of musique concr?te. So over the three nights of the Festival, works from these periods by Luciano Berio, Gy?rgy Ligeti, Pierre Schaeffer, Edgard Var?se, Iannis Xenakis, as well as more recent pieces by Paul Lansky, Paul McCartney, and others will be presented. And in honor of Olivier Messiaen's 100th birth year his sole tape piece "Timbres- Dur?es" (1952) will be presented. As in past annual SF Tape Music Festivals, this year will also feature new works by several local composers, including Ashley Bellouin, Kyle Bruckmann, George Cremaschi, Janis Mercer, Maggi Payne, Moe! Staiano, Jon Leidecker/ Wobbly, Aaron Ximm, and premieres by SFTMC's own Thom Blum, Cliff Caruthers, Matt Ingalls, and Kent Jolly. The annual SF Tape Music Festival -- it's cinema for your ears! Over the course of the Festival the San Francisco Tape Music Collective will present two sound diffusion workshops, thanks to a grant from Meet the Composer. Members will talk about and demonstrate the art of of diffusion, and discuss approaches and solutions to composing music to be spatialized. Attendees will have the opportunity to try out the diffusion mixing board with assistance from the members. All participating composers will talk about and take questions regarding the Festival, tape music composition, and their works being presented in the Festival. Check the Web site http://www.sfsound.org/tape for the workshop schedules and more details.

Saturday, Jan 10 2009 8:00 PM Soja Martial Arts Studio 2406 Webster, Oakland between 24th & 25th St. (near 19th St. BART, 1 block from 21 Grand) Improvised Music & Movement: Soja Martial Arts Studio presents a special CD Release Concert for "Idea of West", just out on innovative Portuguese label Creative Sources, featuring the trio of Tony Dryer, Jacob Felix Heule, and Jacob Lindsay. Also performing is Sextet: Kristian Aspelin (guitar), Tony Dryer (contrabass), Phillip Greenlief (saxophones), Jacob Felix Heule (drums), Jacob Lindsay (clarinets), and Kanoko Nishi (koto), with special guest Peter Ajemian and others performing traditional martial arts. The trio of Dryer/Heule/Lindsay was formed to explore musical territories made prominent in recent years emphasizing quiet and static musical structures. The trio seeks to relate to these new territories through pragmatic application of improvisation and compositional structures, rather than through stylistic imitation. Also of note is the trio's adherance to purely acoustic sound production in a music typically dominated by electronics. The trio's first release, "Idea of West", was released November 2008 by innovate Portuguese label Creative Sources (http://www.creativesourcesrec.com/). Sextet was formed by clarinetist Jacob Lindsay to investigate large ensemble improvised music dynamics in a slightly reduced and conductor-less ensemble. The focus is on building an orchestral group dynamic within a collectively improvised setting, including specific investigations of orchestration and dynamics inspired by the lineage of composed and improvised large ensemble musics, physics, metaphysics, and socio-political and community idea(l)s. Peter Ajemian, Founder and Chief Instructor of Soja, has taught White Crane Silat Kung Fu throughout the United States, and trained at various times at the PGB-Silat World Headquarters starting in 1995. Peter is also an assistant instructor of Bay Mountain Wing Tsun, having studied since 2004. In 2006 he decided martial arts needed to be a the forefront of his life and has subsequently opened Soja Martial Arts. He is fascinated with all forms of martial arts, self expression through flowing movement, and human awareness.

In recent years he has focused his attention on the acoustic double bass, and has recently completed a solo tour of the US supporting Ettrick. His trio with Jacob Felix Heule and Jacob Lindsay has a CD forthcoming on Creative Sources. www.myspace.com/tonydryerbass Elise Baldwin: Raised on a farm in Idaho, Elise Baldwin currently resides in San Francisco. Active in the experimental music and electronic art community, she focuses on intermedia performance, a/v installation and collaborative music ventures. Her work revolves on themes of collective memory, intersections between the natural world and the technological, and often uses archival sources. When not reading compulsively in the bathtub, Elise can be found creating aurally hazardous byproducts in her studio or building software instruments. www.clattertrap.com Jacqueline Gordon's artist statement: My focus is the integration of contemporary folk aesthetics with the emergent technology of sound imaging. Using technological interactivity and craft, I alter physical experience, creating new concepts in acoustical understanding and question/explore the mythologies of social and personal utopias. The traditions of both folk art and technology depend on processes and techniques that echo social values and needs. My method involves the folk art techniques of quilting, fiber arts, and woodworking with computer and audio system constructions. By using these processes I cultivate an awareness of sounds on an elevated level and expand the possibilities for connection and interaction with one's environment. Through the creation of objects and machines that provoke an altered perception of space and time I explore the mythologies of social and personal utopias. These utopias formally reference American spirituality, science fiction, psychology and the development of "technologies of transformation" in historical and contemporary incarnations. In balancing the relationship between experiences of the sublime and feelings of alienation, I am dedicated to investigating the contradictory link between the sensation of liberation through the pursuit of escape and the consequential confinement of that pursuit. $6-10 sliding ******************************** Outsound Presents is a leading SF based 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.

No other Bay Area music festival or concert series offers such an eclectic, genre-crossing, convention-breaking, bastardizing group of experimentalists, innovators, and musical omnivores in a single event. This is a concert designed for an audience grown accustomed to the boundary-free world of the internet and the iPod, where all music is equal and must meet only one criterion: It must sound good. The Switchboard Music Festival will feature some of the Bay Area?s most original performers, including the ADORNO Ensemble, Classical Revolution, Edmund Welles, Japonize Elephants, Melody of China, Moe! Staiano, Pamela Z, Paul Dresher and Joel Davel, Ted Brinkley and Neptune's Rogue Apothecary, and Zoyres. The festival also presents living composers whose work challenges traditional ideas of notated music, including Mason Bates, Ryan Brown, Jonathan Russell, Max Stoffregen, Ken Thomson, and Damon Waitkus. Switchboard Music Festival was founded by local composers and performers Jeff Anderle, Ryan Brown, and Jonathan Russell to bring together many of the unique musicians working in the Bay Area. Their goal is to highlight musicians and composers who effortlessly float between genres, challenging and re-defining the music scene--Bay Area and beyond. ADORNO Ensemble captivates audiences through live chamber music performances, vital public dialogue, and multifaceted, innovative programming. Richard Scheinin of the San Jose Mercury News hailed a recent concert as, "...a beautiful, blazing performance by the ADORNO Ensemble, a crackerjack new music band that plays with conviction and vitality and blows the dust off classical music." The mission of Classical Revolution is to present concerts involving both traditional and modern approaches while engaging the community by offering chamber music performances in highly accessible venues, such as bars and cafes, and collaborating with local musicians and artists from various styles and backgrounds. Damon Waitkus is a composer and songwriter. Much of his recent work has been for recorded media, combining field recordings collected from various natural, domestic, and urban environments with passages for traditional instruments. Edmund Welles, the bass clarinet quartet, has the distinction of being the world's only original, composing band of four bass clarinetists. They invent and perform heavy chamber music. There is no precedent for this type of wind-based ensemble building such bridges between avant jazz, new music, black metal and classic rock. Ted Brinkley's music sounds like jazz, but in truth is the sum total of a vast range of stimulating sonic environments. His music is copious quantities of written material bracketed by moments of free and/or collective improvisation. There are grooves, some of which come and go at the whim of the rhythm section. Some of it "swings," some of it "rocks." Japonize Elephants plays self-described ?hard-core gypsy circus bluegrass klezmer pirate clown madness". Blink and you?ll think you?re back in the orchestra of a French circus (with Mingus and Willie Nelson sitting in) with songs fusing Appalachia with Romania, Vegas with Marrakesh. A uniquely creative and versatile musician, composer and clarinetist, Jonathan Russell is active in a wide variety of music, from classical to experimental to klezmer to church music, and has composed for ensembles ranging from orchestra to bass clarinet quartet to rock band. Ken Thomson is a Brooklyn-based clarinetist, saxophonist, and composer. In demand as a composer and freelancer in many settings, he moves quickly between genres and scenes, bringing a fiery intensity and emotional commitment to every musical situation. Mason Bates composes for a wide variety of media, with a portfolio of orchestral, chamber, theatrical, and electronic works. Spanning the classical concert hall to the clubs and lounges where he DJs electronica, his music was hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as "lovely to hear and ingeniously constructed." He was commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony and Chanticleer this season. Max Stoffregen is a San Francisco based composer and keyboardist who has written music for a variety of genres, from songs for children's chorus, electro-acoustic ensembles of various configurations, to multi- movement works for chamber orchestra. Melody of China is the premiere Chinese music ensemble based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The ensemble has a two-fold mission: to promote Chinese classical, folk and contemporary music, and to provide quality entertainment through the synergy between an ancient cultural tradition and youthful, multi-colored American culture. Moe! Staiano is a percussionist who usually uses found objects, often drumming on found objects on his trap set. One can expect to see Moe!'s show as a visual eye pleaser: running around throwing pipes on concrete, walking on pans with his feet to mute sounds or running amok, throwing his body into old cassette tapes or two dozen cymbals in any given performance. Pamela Z is a San Francisco-based composer/performer and audio artist who works primarily with voice, live electronic processing, and sampling technology. 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. As both a composer and performer, Paul Dresher is uniquely able to integrate different musical influences into a coherent and remarkably personal style. A polymath who makes music in an astounding variety of ways, he composes and performs experimental opera and music theater, chamber and orchestral music, and instrumental electro-acoustic music. Composer Ryan Brown draws heavily on his omnivorous musical tastes, including the myriad rock and pop genres, jazz, minimalism, gamelan, and mbira, while maintaining a unique sound that directly imitates none of these. His works are often noted for their energy and off- kilter, foot-tapping rhythms and have been called "modern composed music at its best; nimble, expressive, ear-turning and strange in an accessible way, highly virtuosic but never pretentious." --Washington City Paper The Zoyres energy and sound is complex and catchy, dynamic and dancy, down-home and dirty, alternately cerebral and simple, dark and delightful. Drawing from Eastern European folk music, free improvisation, jazz, rock, and drum-n-bass, the Zoyres recipe is a fusion nonpareil; an exciting new taste from Old World flavors! PUBLIC EVENT LISTINGS: WHEN: Sunday, March 29, 2:00-10:00 p.m. WHAT: Switchboard Music Festival WHERE: Dance Mission Theater 3316 24th Street San Francisco, CA (at 24th St./Mission BART station) Food and drink available for purchase.

About four months in the making, After You Fell**, a meditative sound-triptych, is finally ready to be played?now I just need the players.* * The piece is to be performed and recorded as part of a project being undertaken by a dear friend and musical kindred spirit of mine in the Ethnomusicology department at Brown University. The project seeks to investigate and document some of the emerging jazz and new-music energy in the sweet city of San Francisco, and to use said documentation as a case study, as it were, to explore the inner workings and peculiar dynamics of musical communities in general.* * As is stands now, the piece will be performed on Saturday, March 28 in a show at the BlueSix Gallery in the Mission District featuring the other artists involved in the project. It will be recorded in a studio the following day. It will also play a part in the documentary film that my friend takes back to Providence. * * The piece consists of three through-composed movements. The first and third are for a large ensemble of 12 players; the middle movement is a string quartet. Artists who have influenced me during the writing process include Steve Reich, Philip Glass, John Hollenbeck, Trichy Sankaran, Shostakovich, Lewis Hyde, and Walt Whitman.* * About me: My name is Jeff Stevenson, and I recently moved to town from Boston, where I was studying jazz guitar and composition at the Berklee College of Music. I left all of my contexts and ghosts on the East Coast and came out here seeking fresh energy. I love to compose, and deeply believe in the transformative power of the collective energy created by a group of artists working together to bring an idea to life. * *If this project inspires you, please get in touch with me soon so we can start rehearsing. There will be a little money (wish there could be more but the recession isn't kind to twelve-member ensembles)?.so there needs to be love as well. I need: 2 female vocalists, 2 violinists, a violist, a cellist, two saxophonists (alto and soprano), one electric guitarist, and a drummer.* *Some of my other music is at myspace.com/jeffstevensonmusic. "The Curvature of the Earth" is another piece I did for 12 players, and is not unlike the new piece in terms of feel and style. Check it out, and if it feels good let's work together. I look forward to it.* * * *Many thanks,* *Jeff Stevenson* *Jeffrey.s.stevenson at gmail.com* *917-566-4997* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The three night Festival of audio art will feature classic as well as recent and new fixed media compositions by 30 local and international composers. The expansive venue is uniquely suited to shaping the sound which will be diffused live over a pristine surround system consisting of 20+ speakers. Seated in the dark, it's a unique opportunity to experience music forming, literally, around you. This year marks both 50- and 60-year anniversaries, being 50 years since many now-classic "tape music" pieces had their world premieres, and being 60 years since Pierre Schaeffer presented "Concert de Bruits," the first concert of musique concr?te. So over the three nights of the Festival, works from these periods by Luciano Berio, Gy?rgy Ligeti, Pierre Schaeffer, Edgard Var?se, Iannis Xenakis, as well as more recent pieces by Paul Lansky, Paul McCartney, and others will be presented. And in honor of Olivier Messiaen's 100th birth year his sole tape piece "Timbres- Dur?es" (1952) will be presented. As in past annual SF Tape Music Festivals, this year will also feature new works by several local composers, including Ashley Bellouin, Kyle Bruckmann, George Cremaschi, Janis Mercer, Maggi Payne, Moe! Staiano, Jon Leidecker/ Wobbly, Aaron Ximm, and premieres by SFTMC's own Thom Blum, Cliff Caruthers, Matt Ingalls, and Kent Jolly.
