Live music by Damon Smith and Tony Dryer to video by Damon Smith. Daniel Healy creates collage-oriented paintings, or painterly collages (depending on your vantage point) that refer to the consumer- culture glut of the waning stages of late capitalism that surrounds us. He transposes clusters of collaged images of consumer goods against a spare background with occasional diagrammatic or constellation-like marks resolving the binary fields (extreme detail vs. extreme vacancy). His abstract compositional sense harnesses the tectonic quality of Robert Motherwell, Franz Kline, and the like while his love of detail within these larger fields speaks to a post- Victorian agoraphobic horror vacui. His works often appear to be, in this unusual fusion, like sections of Chinese landscape scrolls where mist-enshrouded cliffs and shores are replace with islands of spectacularly colored "junk". Damon Smith is self-taught as a visual artist, and his experimental attitudes toward music are apparent in the visual realm as well. Inspired by the post-Minimalist "truth to materials" approach, he incorporates an abstract drawing style with collage and assemblage techniques (and more recently delving into video montage) - using a range of traditional and unconventional materials in an investigation of what these tools can do.

The first are concise, tightly composed, songs that sit like a toy in the listener's lap. The other pieces are dense, freely improvised, misinterpretations of the blues. Jameson is a member of the Bay Area indie-rock quartet, Grand Lake (500 Records). And can be heard on Anthony Colman's 2007 release, Lapidation (New World Records). He studied guitar with Joe Morris and composition with Anthony Coleman at the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston. Jameson resides with his wife, Danae, in San Francisco. The Pmocatat Ensemble The Pmocatat Ensemble records the sounds of their instruments onto various forms of consumer-ready media. (Pmocatat stands for "prerecorded music on cds and tapes and things".) Then, they improvise using only the recorded media. Several different pieces will explore both the different arrangements of recorded instruments and the sound modulation possibilities of the different recording media.

Centered around the bonang, an Indonesian percussion instrument from the gamelan orchestra which is itself tuned in just intonation, the ensemble passes through many different harmonic and timbral colors as the piece progresses. Each instrument plays a constant pulse which is either the same, two, or four times faster or slower than the other members creating various interlocking rhythmic layers. The pentachord, meaning five strings, is a unique instrument designed and built by Cole Ingraham. Modeled after a category of instruments simply called ?long strings,? it is meant to be played solely by natural harmonics. Unlike most string instruments, its five strings are tuned very close together allowing it to produce many different notes which are outside of standard western tuning. *Galaxy 3C 279 3C 279 *is a galaxy which contains an optically violent variable quasar (OVV). This object was the first quasar known to exhibit apparent superluminal motion. *Murder Ballads and Redemption Songs* The four songs performed in Murder Ballads and Redemption Songs are part of a larger cycle I've been composing over the last four years with shifting instrumentation. The cycle-in-full (or the cycle-so-far) will be performed as part of Berkeley's Trinity Chamber Concerts Spring 2009 series on Saturday, March 21st (see www.trinitychamberconcerts.com for more info). A full album of the songs will be completed in the spring of 2009. Many, many thanks to Alex Vittum and Jason Hoopes for their contributions to these pieces. *Matilde* This piece was entirely written using stream of consciousness and randomness. There is an improvisational aspect to most written sections; either the rhythm is fixed and the pitches are improvised, or vice-versa. *Studies for Automatic Piano* The studies in this program explore aspects of time, space, scale, and musical perception through the systematic transformation of simple motives. Each piece is developed by repeating, transposing, offsetting, shortening, and layering a basic shape of notes according to a set of simple iterative rules. The fluctuating tempo of each piece acts as a temporal "zoom lens" causing the perception of rhythm and silence to shrink, expand, and overlap. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Parisian-born Sinclair is an electronic composer who studied with Morton Subotnik, among others, at California Institute of the Arts. Composing almost entirely with C-Sound and Java, Sinclair often uses music generated by bio-rhythmic processes. American-born, internationally-exhibited photo and digital artist Batch?s varied projects often relate to intimate, internal responses to the onslaught of contemporary, over-stimulated culture. Agnes is a composer, performer, and video/installation artist. Her work explores the cognitive and aesthetic relationship of sound and visual media in chosen environments. In performance and composition she creates interactive schemes that ride the line between composition and improvisation. All of her work deals with transformation. bLakcPulletGrimoire is the latest project of sound artist Wayne Grim.

John Niekrasz, Brian Mumford - SAXES " DRUMS " FREEFORM JAZZ Thicket is an experimental wild and wooly improve group from Portland Oregon. We dont know a great deal about them but were captivated by their MySpace sound . . . 8:30 PM Dryer/Heule/Lindsay Trio "Tony Dryer, dbl bass"Jacob Felix Heule, drums"Jacob Lindsay, clarinets Dryer/Heule/Lindsay formed to explore musical territories made prominent in recent years emphasizing quiet and static musical structures. The group has recently released its first CD Idea of West on the Creative Sources label. 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 trios adherence to purely acoustic sound production in a music typically dominated by electronics. It attains a new approach to music by rigorous adherence to fundamental methods of sound production. New material is discovered through a process of simplification, heightened awareness and a shedding of idiomatic mystification. Through this practice the action of producing sound itself becomes material; method becomes content. A focus on quieter dynamics opens a new world of micro-sound possibilities. No restrictions are placed as to the media of composition for the trio and to date has varied from traditional notation, graphic and text scores, verbal instruction, as well as non-premeditated improvisation. The binding element is an adherence to clarity and an elemental awareness of process and material. Jacob Lindsay is a clarinetist focusing on the continuum following the U.S. free jazz movement spawned in the 60s, moving through European non-idiomatic free-improvisation, and globally into its current incarnations. Jacob works with the full range of clarinets, combining traditional approaches to the instruments with new approaches based on pragmatic, pre-fabricated methods of sound production and structure. The music of improvising drummer and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Felix Heule spans the spectrum from overwhelming brutality to reductionist austerity. Since 2004 Jacob has been a member of the brutal improv/acoustic grind duo, Ettrick, which toured the U.S. for the third time in April 2008. He has also toured the US and Europe with Gowns, and plays drums on their forthcoming Southern Records Latitudes Sessions album. Bassist Tony Dryer has toured extensively with rock groups including the Flying Luttenbachers, the Cold War, and Usurp Synapse, as well as a solo tour of the US. Dryer and Heule recently toured Europe with the international sextet, the Bay/Oslo Mirror Trio, and related projects. 9:00 pm Scott R. Looney " Scot Gresham-Lancaster Duo Scott R. Looney has always been interested in the creation and performance of compelling sounds across a broad spectrum of contemporary, improvised, and experimental music, including a deep involvement with electronic and computer generated tonalities. He has studied composition and improvisation with Roscoe Mitchell, Wadada Leo Smith, Morton Subotnick, David Rosenboom, and Frederic Rzewski, obtaining his MFA in Composition from California Institute of the Arts. Scot Gresham-Lancaster is a composer, performer, instrument builder and educator with over three decades of professional experience. He is dedicated to research and performance using the expanding capabilities of computer networks to create new environments for musical and cross discipline expression. As a member of the HUB, he is one of the early pioneers of computer networkmusic which uses the behavior of interconnected music machines to create innovative ways for performers and computers to interact.

My set will be at approximately 8:30 pm. Switchboard is a new (in its 2nd year) 8-hour music marathon reminiscent of New York?s ?Bang on a Can? Festival or Common Sense Composers Collective?s ?Opus 415 Marathon?. One notable difference is that the sets in this festival tend to be longer, so you can hear a good half hour of an artist rather than the customary 10 or 15 minutes that marathons are known for. Other than a few upcoming collaborative, shared events and lecture/demos in San Francisco, most of my performing activity is taking place outside the Bay Area for the next several months. So, if you haven?t had a chance to hear me play a solo concert in a while, (or you have but would like to hear more!) this will be a good opportunity to hear my work. And come early and/or stay later for more works by outstanding Bay Area musicians, composers, and composer/performers. Read on for the Switchboard press release copy (courtesy of the festival?s organizers) including a list of all of the composers and performers who will be featured next Sunday. Also, you can go to the Switchboard website for the full calendar. http://www.switchboardmusic.com/schedule.html Cheers, Pamela -- SECOND ANNUAL SWITCHBOARD MUSIC FESTIVAL PRESENTS A GENRE-DEFYING SPECTACLE Sunday, March 29, 2009, 2:00-10:00 PM SAN FRANCISCO, March 20, 2009: The second annual Switchboard Music Festival is an 8-hour, non-stop music spectacle presenting composers and musicians who push the boundaries of their respective genres. 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 will also present living composers whose work challenges traditional ideas of notated music, including Mason Bates, Ryan Brown, David Lang, Jonathan Russell, Max Stoffregen, Ken Thomson, and Damon Waitkus. The Switchboard Music Festival was founded by local composers and performers Jeff Anderle, Ryan Brown, and Jonathan Russell with the goal of bringing 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. 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. PROGRAM: Non-stop, 8-hour marathon concert with performances by 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; and music composed by Mason Bates, Ryan Brown, David Lang, Jonathan Russell, Max Stoffregen, Ken Thomson, and Damon Waitkus.

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 will also present living composers whose work challenges traditional ideas of notated music, including Mason Bates, Ryan Brown, David Lang, Jonathan Russell, Max Stoffregen, Ken Thomson, and Damon Waitkus. The Switchboard Music Festival was founded by local composers and performers Jeff Anderle, Ryan Brown, and Jonathan Russell with the goal of bringing 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. 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. PROGRAM: Non-stop, 8-hour marathon concert with performances by 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; and music composed by Mason Bates, Ryan Brown, David Lang, Jonathan Russell, Max Stoffregen, Ken Thomson, and Damon Waitkus.

Way, James Kaiser 9 PM 1 group set: French Radio The French Radio trio is comprised of Bay Area musicians/noisniks who perform drone heavy sturm und drang improvisation for the cleansing of the soul by way of the ears. Bruce Anderson uses six strings as a suspended tonal narcotic, A.C. Way's electronics and vocalizations summon deep darkness and malevolence, and James Kaiser's bowed spokes and tapes evoke lost spirits in a combined purgative mixture of aural assault. Terrible beauty incarnate. Pedigrees of the trio include the likes of MX-80 and O-Type, Maleficia, NF Orchest, and Petit Mal. The French Radio hybrid is however, it's own unique beast. $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.

Santos, Ph.D. University Professor Emeritus University of the Philippines Monday, April 13 7:00 PM (please note starting time) Littlefield Concert Hall FREE admission (Audience members are strongly encouraged to participate by bringing portable, battery-powered radios, especially boom-boxes, to act as receivers for the sounds of the piece.) Mills College 5000 MacArthur Blvd Oakland, CA http://www.mills.edu Ugnayan (?interlinking?) (1972), by the late Philippine composer Jos? Maceda, was a composition created for simultaneous transmission by 20 radio stations, spreading the sounds of traditional bamboo instruments through radio receivers held by hundreds of participants in public places around the city of Manila. It was conceived as an expression of collective social action and realized under the purview of the political agenda of the regime of then President Ferdinand Marcos as an effective instrument in the exercise of power in political governance. Dr. Santos? lecture will be followed by a performance of Ugnayan, organized by Chris Brown of the Mills Music Department, with graduate students from the Seminar in Electronic Music Performance, and with the collaboration of radio station KFJC. Audience members are strongly encouraged to participate by bringing portable, battery-powered radios, especially boom-boxes, to act as receivers for the sounds of the piece. They will be instructed to tune their radios to one of five FM frequencies while moving through the performance area of Mills? Greek Theater, dynamically altering the mixture of sounds in the piece. Dr. Ramon P. Santos belongs to the New and Experimental Music group of Filipino composers. He initially trained in Composition and Conducting at the University of the Philippines, and earned his Master of Music and Ph.D. degrees at Indiana University and State University of New York at Buffalo, respectively. He has been elected as Member of Honor of the Asian Composers League which he led as Chairman in 1994-1997, as well as elected Vice President of the International Music Council at UNESCO from 2001 to 2005. He is currently serving as University Professor Emeritus of the UP, President of the Musicological Society of the Philippines, and Executive Director of the UP Center of Ethnomusicology.
