With this event we are raising funds to pay for the lighting that will be left for future artists-in-residence to use in the gym. The evening will consist of compositions and improvisations for Long String Instrument, voice and cello. Friday May 15, 8:00pm Headlands Center for the Arts in the Gym (across from the Marin Headlands Visitor Center) Beer and wine will be served Suggested donation $10+ For directions go to: http://headlands.org/article.asp?key=23 Please park in the grassy area below the Gym, in the parking lot of Headlands main buildings or in the paved lot at the Marin Headlands Visitor Center. Please do not park on the upper road beyond the Gym. Three giant compact fluorescent fixtures, designed for barns, are generously on loan from Peter Strietmann who installed them for a film shoot. Each fixture draws 200 watts, outputs 1,000 watts and is daylight color temperature. This is fantastic for supplementing light coming in through the windows for video shooting, makes a big difference on those foggy Headlands days and makes night work possible. The 2,000 square foot gym was previously lit by only three bare incandescent bulbs (and 500w halogen work lamps can light only a small area!) http://www.ellenfullman.com http://theresawong.org From matt at sfsound.org Mon May 4 12:18:27 2009 From: matt at sfsound.org (matt) Date: Mon, 4 May 2009 12:18:27 -0700 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Upcoming sfSoundEvents Message-ID: <9231DAF0-1352-459A-A076-EAEE98231ADA@sfsound.org> :: a number of sfSound-related events happening this month and beyond :: go to http://sfsound.org for details Tuesday, May 5, 2009 : 7:30p : free First Tuesdays at Tom's House 3111 Deakin St. in Berkeley http://tomduff.com/directions.html a rare chance to hear sfSound members Kyle Bruckmann (oboe) and Ma++ Ingalls (clarinet) present their solo work. the evening concludes with John Shiurba's "5x5" with Ava Mendoza & John Shiurba- guitars, Dan Plonsey- reeds, Devin Hoff- contrabass, and Gino Robair-percussion Wednesday, May 6, 2009 : 8p sfSoundRadio live broadcast Kanoko Nishi and Jon Raskin Duo from Oakland's New, Improved Recording Studios. to listen: http://200.35.148.107:8000/listen.pls http://sfSound.org/radio.html Friday, May 8, 2009 : (music starts ~9p) : $6 Brutal Sound Effects Festival #59 Otto's Eleventh Hour Collision Club (aka Fatcity) 314 11th St, San Francisco http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m228/noodler_01/brutalse.gif members of sfSound present "Tinnitus Insect Volume Knobs" - an ongoing project playing only notes above 1000Hz - exploring the sonic properties of the acoustic space with a heavy emphasis on difference tones.

Krystyna Bobrowski, Erin Espeland, Brenda Hutchinson THE PROGRAM: 1. Wong & Nishi will perform improvisations on koto and cello/voice. INTERMISSION 2. Flowers are of many colors and forms, some are conspicuous, some are barely noticeable, but all simultaneously represent both the potential for new life and the fragility of existence. By working with sonic textures that range from the extravagant to the subtle, Vorticella illustrates the vibrancy of rebirth and the ever changing nature of the environment and our relationship to it. PERFORMER BIOS Theresa Wong is a cellist and vocalist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her current work weaves together the areas of improvisation, composition, song forms, video, performance art and large scale performance pieces. After studying design, she became interested in an art form which would unite the visual arts with sound and performance. Her work has been included in the Unlimited 21 Festival in Wels, Austria, Fondation Cartier in Paris, the Other Minds Brink series in San Francisco, the Radio France broadcast, "A L'improviste", the Seattle Improvised Music Festival and at The Stone in New York City. She has collaborated and performed with such artists as Fred Frith, Joelle Leandre, Gianni Gebbia, Luciano Chessa, ROVA Saxophone Quartet, Ellen Fullman, Carla Kihlstedt and Joan Jeanrenaud. Theresa completed an MFA in performance at Mills College and is currently a resident artist at the Headlands Center for the Arts. Kanoko Nishi is an improvising performer, currently residing in Oakland, CA. she has received a BA in Classical Piano Performance from Mills College, and beside working as a pianist for performances of new and contemporary compositions for piano, she has also collaborated and performed with various musicians, dancers, poets and visual artists, improvising on her second instrument, koto (Japanese 13-string zither). Vorticella are inverted bell-shaped ciliates. Each of these single-celled organisms has a separate, anchored stalk. Some are grouped as colonies, but because each Vorticella has its own individual stalk it can detach from the cluster at any time. We are a complex sound generating entity bearing a strong resemblance to the Vorticella. Krystyna Bobrowski is a sound artist, composer and musician. In addition to French horn she plays acoustic and electronic instruments of her own design. Her collection of original instruments includes bull kelp horns, prepared amplified rocking chairs, leaf speakers, Gliss Glass and the Sliding Speaker Instrument. Erin Espeland has been an improvisational cellist for over 20 years. She uses unconventional techniques to generate interesting sounds from this instrument. She has played in ensembles throughout northern California, with performances ranging from John Cage festivals to parades. Brenda Hutchinson, composer and sound artist, has been making sounds and singing into one end of a 9 1/2 foot Long Tube for the past 18 years. She has developed a more bionic, electronically enhanced version of the Long Tube that she uses for both solo performance and to improvise with other musicians. Karen Stackpole is a drummer/percussionist who specializes in gongs and metals in particular. She has a penchant for subtle sounds and experimental music, playing both solo and in collaboration with others. Over the years she has managed to amass a wide collection of traditional and exotic percussion instruments as well as an arsenal of found objects that she uses to create some truly unique soundscapes. ******************************** 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. endeavors.

Ezra Buchla uses mathematics, a very small computer, and analog video to synthesize the aural and the optical. Joshua Churchill, known for his site-specific sound and light performances, escalates the tone with an abstract collage of drone, doom, and noise, feeding into electronic-media artist Andrew Benson?s complex video processes. Gendreau releases a ground-shaking psycho-spatial-acoustic composition, designed specifically for the space, and ?expanded? to include the ocular realm. The artists commence the event with a unique collaboration. Arrive at 8pm for bar specials and delicious edibles. Other Cinema @ Artists' Television Access 992 Valencia Street (@21st) SF CA 8:30pm (doors @ 8pm) $8 http://www.othercinema.com/ Artist Info: MICHAEL GENDREAU composes and performs alone and in several groups. While in the group Crawling With Tarts (1983 - 1998), he applied ideas of elementalism, temporal and environmental persistence, and parataxis. These final studies included the use of small motors and turntable mechanisms and performing with one-off transcription discs cast by others in the middle of the last century, or cut in Gendreau's studio using a decrepit lathe. In his current performances, using studies in physics and work as an acoustician-researching low-vibration and noise impact on buildings; Gendreau stimulates a building into becoming a speaker. Depending on the situation and local environment, use of real-time data from local vibration sources may be possible. "All structures on the earth's surface vibrate, nothing is at rest: each place and every building vibrates differently, as a function of the materials and dimensions of its constituent components, and the surrounding sources that energize them. Each building voices a unique language. The best buildings and the best rooms are flawed; this is their character built of unchanging physical properties. As composers and performers, we choose to work with or against the building. Working with the building, we use its flaws- highlight them, and thereby make them invisible." - M. Gendreau. 2008 http://michaelgendreau.net/toc.htm JOSHUA CHURCHILL is a San Francisco based cross-disciplinary artist who works primarily with sound and light in the context of site-specific, and often reactive installations, live performances, and recordings. Creating densely layered and textured abstract collages using guitar, bass, field recordings and electronics, Churchill challenges the traditionally passive role of the audience by immersing them within his work and compelling them to become critically aware of their relationship to their surroundings on both global and intimate scales. His solo noise work, often performed/recorded under the moniker T/R, involves live processing and layering of found and generated sounds, including feedback, tones, and percussive objects, and pairs them with reactive site-specific lighting elements. Churchill also plays in a number of other experimental music projects in the Bay Area, ranging from ambient/drone to doom metal to noise. http://joshuachurchill.com/ ANDREW BENSON is an active visual, sound, and experimental electronic media artist working in San Francisco. His paintings, videos, interactive sound works, performances and installations have been featured in galleries in San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles, as well as numerous contemporary art fairs nationwide. Since 2005 he has been working for Cycling '74, creators of MaxMSP/Jitter, providing creative and educational content for their software. He currently teaches Digital Literacy and Sound classes at the San Francisco Art Institute, and most recently contributed live Jitter/video for M.I.A. at Coachella. http://pixlpa.com/ EZRA BUCHLA was born in California in 1981. He makes music using viola, voice, computers, circuits and other theoretically deterministic processes. His recent solo work is derived from the "compression of the chest cavity miracle" and consists of resynthesized acoustic sound obeying highly formalized feedback structures.

They are equally active in both the improv and Brutal Sound Effects noise scenes thriving in the Bay Area. Basshaters enjoys working with a multitude of sounds and techniques exploiting the vast possibilities available for activating large resonant bodies. Their electronic music strives to match the fluidity of their acoustic instruments. The duo seeks directness and intensity in execution. Subtleties emerge from the bold statement of simple ideas. In addition to Basshaters, Dryer & Heule have released an album on Lisbon's Creative Sources with clarinetist Jacob Lindsay . This unconventional rhythm section also has a trio CD with saxophonist Jack Wright. Jacob Felix Heule is active with his brutal improv duo, Ettrick, and has toured the US and Europe with Gowns. Tony Dryer has toured extensively with rock groups including the Flying Luttenbachers and Usurp Synapse, as well as a solo US tour. Basshaters toured Europe in September 2008, and the North American West Coast in March 2009.

Peninsula Project is a hard-working Norwegian trio, active in the Oslo improv scene with many different projects. They are also busy with their rock band MOE, who will release their first 7" single in February 2009. With a feedback tuba screaming in the highest frequencies, guitar blasting on pitches out of control, bass sneering like a mean dog and voice taken from a Hitchcock movie, it's just another feedback marching band.

Renko Ishida Dempster Wednesday, May 13th, 7:30 PM $10 general; $5 students/seniors (no one turned away for lack of funds) Abundant Sound Gardens is a joint commemorative event that celebrates the life of Bay Area composer/trombonist/gardener Toyoji P. Tomita (1951 ? 2008). On May 13th, as part of Meridian?s monthly concert series of New Music, Meridian Music: Composers in Performance, Stuart Dempster, a self-described Sound Gatherer, will be composing and performing in real time various new pieces as well as earlier pieces, with the assistance of ?Toyoji Trombones,? Dempster Didjeridus, and the Cornelius Cardew Choir (directed by Tom Bickley). Dempster, besides trombone and didjeridu, will be performing on conches, garden hoses, and ?sundries,? and will utilize all three floors of Meridian Gallery including the backyard garden for the performance. Musicians Andy Strain, Jen Baker, and Ron Heglin will also perform. Visual artist Suiren, a.k.a. Renko Ishida Dempster, will be creating visuals to some of the music performed as well as engaging in real time drawing with her ?Circles of Peace? which will serve as a score for performers to interact. Suiren?s work created from the concert will hang in the gallery in an exhibition from May 14 ? 30 that includes recent series of ?visual improvisations,? also done in collaboration with musicians. Concert funded in part by the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation and Meet the Composer's MetLife Creative Connections program. meridian gallery 535 powell street (b/t sutter & bush) san francisco, ca 94108 www.meridiangallery.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Movie description: Paul Pena played blues with the greats T-Bone Walker, B.B. King, and Bonnie Raitt. In 1995, through an incredibly convergence of circumstance, the blind bluesman traveled to the Autonomous Republic of Tuva, wedged between Siberia and Mongolia, and became the first American ever to compete in Tuva?s national multi-harmonic "throatsinging" competition. The blind bluesman, who had taught himself Tuvan throatsinging, repertoire, and language, dazzled and charmed the audience, who had never encountered any person like Pena, or any music like his, which incorporated throatsinging within the blues. Pena?s performance was so well received, he became the 1995 throatsinging champion in the low rumble ?earthquake? style of kargyraa. He also captured the "audience favorite" award for the week-long competition. "Genghis Blues" is a film about exploration and friendship. It is the story of a man whose struggle in life is not defined by conformity and rules but by an unquenchable curiosity, and love of music. Pena's story and its almost unbelievable cross-cultural convergence in Tuva, is truly an inspiration to all. Performer descriptions: Seth Augustus: Seth Augustus sings and howls surreal tales in a throaty voice reminiscent of the old Delta songsters. His original and haunting songs draw from many and diverse influences. After having been in several experimental punk bands in Boston and San Francisco, he stumbled upon Tuvan throatsinging (a rare vocal technique) and was instantly smitten. Ironically, this fascination with the music of a far-away land brought him right back home and ignited an obsession with the Delta Blues of the 1920s-1930s. Soon after hearing Tuvan music, Augustus met the legendary Bluesman and self-taught throatsinger, Paul Pena (Ghenghis Blues), who mentored him in throatsinging, as well as vocals and Blues guitar. The two became close friends during the last 6 years of Paul's life. In 2000, Seth traveled to Tuva, began to study with throatsinging masters from the group Chirgilchin, and learned to play the Igil (Tuvan 2-stringed fiddle). All of this has colored and lodged itself into his sound. John Ingle: Saxophonist/composer/improviser John Ingle is originally from Memphis, TN and now resides and works in San Francisco. His music is informed and influenced by contemporary concert music, improvised music, electronic music, jazz, various Asian folk music traditions, and the blues and gospel of his native Southeast US. He collaborates with electronics innovator Laetitia Sonami, and in duo with NYC-based composer/dulcimerist Dan Joseph and is a founding member of the sfSoundGroup. John's solo saxophone music emphasizes multiphonics, vocal harmonics and subtle control of extended saxophone techniques, while his chamber music explores such musical parameters as spiral time, linear pulse, and non-linear harmony, and indulges in both simple resonance as well as complex timbre and auditory sleights-of-hand. Stephen Kent: With beginnings in Uganda, and the seed sown there of a lifetime of interest in global cultures, it is no surprise that Stephen Kent has traveled the world, living at various times in Africa, England, Spain, Australia and, for the last 15 years, The San Francisco Bay Area. In Australia, in 1981, as Music Director of Circus Oz he first connected with Australian Aboriginal culture and the Didjeridu. Inspired by the power of the land, and the support the group gave to Aboriginal issues, he learnt circular breathing and wrote music for brass instruments, sounding unmistakably like the Didjeridu. While he has always had great respect for Aboriginal people and their culture Stephen has never tried to imitate traditional styles on the Didjeridu. Instead he has pioneered his own unique style, with the Didj at the center of his many compositions in contemporary music. Widely regarded as one of the pioneering innovators in the modern world of the Didj [Didge, Didjeridu Didgeridoo] he was a founder of the groups Trance Mission, Lights in a Fat City, Beasts of Paradise & Furious Pig and has made five solo CD?s, with more imminent releases concentrating on the Did forthcoming. _________________________________________________________________ Insert movie times and more without leaving Hotmail?. http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/QuickAdd?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutorial_QuickAdd1_052009 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ferrara Brain Pan (birthname Steven Hitchcock) began his formal musical training on the flute as a teenager in the 1970s, later on as an adult extending his instrumental abilities to include other Western orchestral woodwinds such as saxophone, bass clarinet and recorder. A fascination with musical exotica and alternate tonalities led him to explore various ethnic wind instruments including the Australian aboriginal didjeridu, shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute), and the kangling (a ritual Tibetan trumpet made from a human thighbone), among others. The subsequent addition of harmonium, bowed psaltery, glockenspiel, percussion, and assorted electronics ranging from vintage oscillators and shortwave radio to digital signal processors led to a further expanded instrumental palette for Forms Of Things Unknown. 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. Thea studied Arabic classical music in New York City and in Cairo, Egypt. She has an M.A. in Interdisciplinary Arts from San Francisco State and an M.F.A. in Electronic Music at Mills College. In 2002, Thea co-founded the Armenian Film Festival in New York City and currently is one of the curators for the film festival in San Francisco. She is currently is a lecturer in the Art Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz. 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. In Berkeley he lives in Berkeley and sings at Incarnation Priory (an Episcopal Benedictine community), teaches music privately and in workshops and at the Bay Area Center for Waldorf Teacher Training, and teaches on the library faculty at Cal State University East Bay. He plays with Gusty Winds May Exist (with shakuhachi player Nancy Beckman) and with Three Trapped Tigers (with recorder player David Barnett), and directs the Cornelius Cardew Choir (large choral ensemble devoted to performance of experimental music). His principal teachers were Pauline Oliveros, Ruth Steiner, and Scott Reiss. His work is available on CD on Quarterstick and Metatron Press. Musical influences in his life include Gregorian chant, Landini, Lou Harrison, John Cage, John Coltrane, and the natural environment. $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.

(buy tickets now) Artist Bios : Jane Rigler is known for her innovations in new flute performance, techniques and unique musical vocabulary. She is a featured performer in contemporary music festivals throughout the U.S. and Europe as a soloist as well as within chamber ensembles (Ensemble Plural, Either/Or, Ne(x)tworks, Ensemble Sospeso, Anthony Braxton 12tet, etc.). Besides premiering works written especially for her, Jane?s compositions cover simple solo acoustic pieces inspired by language to complex interactive electronic works that pay homage to painting, poetry and dance. After receiving a B.M. (Northwestern University) and then pursuing flute studies in various parts of Europe and North America, she gained her M.A. and Ph.D. (UC San Diego) completing The Vocalization of the Flute, a book demonstrating both new and ancient methods of singing-while-playing the flute. Her expertise has led to performances in contemporary operas, experimental theater and dance events as well as other interactive electronic festivals. Her compositions are sought after by other flutists and have been performed in South Korea, Australia, France, Spain, and in concert halls and universities throughout the U.S. After living in Spain for 9 years, Jane resides in Brooklyn, NY. http://www.janerigler.com Polly Moller improvises on the flute and bass flute, composes, writes text, creates performance art, and heads up a cast of characters called Reconnaissance Fly.

This episode celebrating Interspecies Collaboration and the Exploration of Human Dreams and Simultaneity. Wed.

Featuring performances by Shayna Dulberger (Brooklyn, ac. bass), and Chris Welcome (Brooklyn, gt.), and Eric Glick Rieman (prepared Rhodes electric piano.) What do snails have to do with music? Their unique perspective is what these pieces attempt to touch and explore. Eric Glick Rieman has collaborated with snails to make pictures - which become scores when specific musical timings and events are added. "Rieman?s instrument looks like a post-apocalyptic Rhodes piano; some of its insides are removed and sitting next to it, and it has all sorts of foreign objects crammed into it like shrapnel ? with strategically placed microphones to capture the various sounds of it all. The range of colors that he got out of this instrument was astonishing " -Jonathan Russell, Professor of Musicianship, San Francisco Conservatory of Music, writing in San Francisco Classical Voice, Issue 8/18-25/05, review of SF Electronic Music Festival http://www.myspace.com/ericglickrieman http://www.myspace.com/shaynadulberger http://www.myspace.com/chriswelcome 2) James Goode's "Somniloquy", a piece based on a collection of dreams. This will be conducted by James and features Carrie Barclay on bassoon; Jon Fellman on guitar, electronics, and tapes; Walter Funk on electronics; Rob Gillespie on bass, electronics, tapes, and sampler; Canner MEFE on computer; Michael Henning on guitar, percussion, and electronics; and Brian Relph on guitar, percussion, and electronics. James' description of the piece follows: "In April of 2007, I asked thirteen friends and acquaintances - among them, musicians, visual artists, composers, and writers - to assist me in writing the score for Somniloquy. This was to be done collectively, with all participants recording what they experienced while asleep or in a hypnagogic state. I provided the group with a list of fourteen phrases I had generated while at the threshold of sleep to repeat to themselves as they were drifting off, a different one for each night. I also participated in this process. A portion of the dreams and hypnagogic experiences collected during this time serve as the piece's narrative score, which was constructed to highlight the visual and thematic similarities between different people's dreams and hypnagogic experiences taking place during the same twenty-four hour period. The performers have been asked to interpret the dreams within the score, and to then make choices regarding how they will translate each into sound and/or music; literally, emotionally, or symbolically. http://www.myspace.com/jamesdylangoode From 21grand at 21grand.org Mon May 18 16:11:49 2009 From: 21grand at 21grand.org (Sarah - 21 Grand) Date: Mon, 18 May 2009 16:11:49 -0700 Subject: [NewMusicEvents] Tomorrow - Avant Garde Night at the Uptown Message-ID: Tuesday, May 19 2009 9:00 PM Uptown 1928 Telegraph Ave @19th St Oakland 21 Grand's monthly Avant Garde Night: Nuclear Death Wish (Randy Lee Sutherland, Doug Katellus, Jay Korber); Bay/Oslo Quartet - Jacob Felix Heule, Tony Dryer + 2 Norwegians; Karl Evangelista group Cost : free, donations solicited, 21+ From rentromus at yahoo.com Mon May 18 19:49:09 2009 From: rentromus at yahoo.com (Rent Romus) Date: Mon, 18 May 2009 19:49:09 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [NewMusicEvents] LSG New Music Series 5/21/09 Message-ID: <621021.65728.qm@web53703.mail.re2.yahoo.com> :?l???.? j????>??z{S??^???????'??????=N????????jY^?-t???G?J???+Rjqkjw"??jX????iD?:?l???>??z{lN????1???m4??4 Message-ID: <89FBF5AE-696B-4354-A60E-83D0817A7975@balancepointacoustics.com> Two duos and a quartet Thursday, May 21 2009 8:00 PM Studio 1510 1510 8th Street Oakland $6-10 Set 1 Scott R.

Espen Reinertsen and Eivind L?nning apply uncommon instrumental techniques to project a spacious sound with nothing else around. Streifenjunko has collaborated with a lot of exciting musicians, like Tetuzi Akiyama, Toshi Nakamura, Christian Wallumr?d, Sidsel Endresen and video artist Kjell Bj?rgeengen. The quartet Akiyama/Taxt/L?nning/Reinertsen recently released the album Varianter av d?de tr?ron Sofa, and Streifenjunko now presents their debut album No Longer Burningon the same label. Streifenjunko has over the last couple of years toured Asia, Africa and Europe, and festival performances includes Fri Resonans and Phonofestivalen in Norway, On the Edge of Wrong Festival in South Africa and Moers Festival in Germany. 2nd Set "RTD3" Ron Heglin, Tom Nunn, Doug Carroll Ron Heglin is a Trombonist and Vocalist working with extended technique on the Trombone and with spoken and sung imaginary languages as a Vocalist. His Trombone and Tuba performance has been inspired by his vocal adventures.His vocal music has been influenced by his study of North Indian vocal music and his attention to language sounds and language sound patterns in the environment.He is a member of the San Francisco Bay Area improvisational and compositional music context performing locally and internationally. As a graphic artist he experiments with the use of graphic scores for music performance. Tom Nunn has designed, built, and performed with original musical instruments since 1976, having received a B.Mus. and M.A. in music composition from the University of Texas at Austin and S.U.N.Y. Stony Brook, and post-graduate work at U.C. San Diego. In 1998, he completed writing and self-published WISDOM OF THE IMPULSE: ON THE NATURE OF MUSICAL FREE IMPROVISATION, a book that examines various aspects of this illusive art and presents a theoretical foundation for creative listening, analysis and discussion. Doug Carroll performs on acoustic and electric cellos. He has performed in Darmstadt, Hamburg, Wiesbaden, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Eindhoven, Gent and Audio Art Festival (Warsaw). He has composed electronic and acoustic music for concerts, dance, theatre, film and video; performed music for Merce Cunningham Dance Company, and studied composition with Karlheinz Stockhausen, Lou Harrison and Anthony Braxton. He received an M.F.A. in Electronic Music and the Recording Media, Mills College, Oakland, CA, attended the Darmstadt International Summer Course for New Music amd The Royal Conservatory in The Hague. 3rd Set - Sabbaticus Rex Cornelius Boots, Karen Stackpole Features Cornelius Boots, the founder of Edmund Welles(perhaps THE bass clarinet quartet which plays heavy chamber music). But here, Mr. Boots plays shakuhachi and does throat singing while Gongwoman, Karen Stackpole, creates shimmering, sometimes overwhelming layers of sound. Sabbaticus Rex is an ensemble rooted in the supremacy of sound over music, the triumph of tone over time and thought. The process begins by the gathering together of a handful of the planets most haunting and beautiful acoustic instruments and methods: overtone gongs, shakuhachi (bamboo Zen flutes), Taimu (bass) shakuhachi, throat-singing. Through spontaneous, sustained sound structuring, these sources combine to form a resonant, expansive and raw environment. It becomes the sonic equivalent of the dimly lit interior of a salt crystal cave, traversing the razors edge between ecosystem and egosystem. Sounds are played, emitted, adapted, nurtured and combined. Each member of the Duo, through their previous explorations of sound, has variously made contributions, inventions or refinements within a bass clarinet quartet; gong, cymbal and drum systems, and the use of circular breathing in woodwind performance.
