Saturday November 7th, 2009 at 8 pm Chapel of the Chimes 4499 Piedmont Ave, Oakland, CA 94611 $15 General, $12 Seniors (65 and older), $12 Full Time Students OAKLAND AND WORLD PREMIERES SAN FRANCISCO, October 7, 2009 ?C Be afraid. Be very afraid, when San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra presents Haunted House Science Fiction Quiz Show, an evening of electro-acoustic fantasy, nightmares, and whimsy. In its premiere performance in Oakland (a short atomic-powered broomstick ride across the Bay) on Saturday, November 7 ?? emcee Music Director Mark Alburger, Associate Conductor Martha Stoddard, and compositional contestants Michael Cooke, Philip Freihofner, Loren Jones, Lisa Scola Prosek, Gerhard Samuel, Davide Verotta, and Erling Wold will conjure up works sounding particularly haunting and resonant in the Julia-Morgan-designed crematory / columbarium / mausoleum Chapel of the Chimes (4499 Piedmont Avenue). The s??ance begins with Freihofner??s Electroacoustic Music for Oboe, which provides the passage into The Secret Door, where Jones will invoke a fantasy alternative-universe San Francisco for piano four-hands. Cooke calls forth another spirit world ????with the Spirit of the Desert,?? an evocative work for violin, bassoon, and piano ?? inspired by Big Bend National Park in West Texas, and conjuring up in the movements the ghosts of Paul Hindemith, Igor Stravinsky, and Native American music. Across the great divide, poet Michael McDonough reanimates the genius of Samuel (1924-2008), who set McDonough??s spare minimalist ??3??, as night and trees (for clarinet, soprano, and bongos), before departing himself into that good night. Dreams and reality collide again in Scola Prosek??s Roma, hallucinated (on Tylenol PM) at 20,000 feet in a high-tech jet of engine roars, footsteps, lyricism (graced by sopranos Maria Mikheyenko and the composer), and the chariots of the entire orchestra and Rome??s fiery Vittorio Emanuele Monument. Staying in the surrealist, subalpine, soprani sequence ?? Verotta??s Verr?? la Morte e Avr?? i Tuoi Occhi (Death Will Come and Have Your Eyes) reminds us that there is nothing wrong with your ears, but that, for the evening, we are in control. Meanwhile, Wold notes in Sweet Encumbrance that bondage-and-discipline can be fun, particularly when the ball-and-chain is the beloved other, in one of his trademark post-minimalist lovelies; while Alburger takes the theme literally for Elijah Ghost, in seven movements drawn from his opera-oratorio Elijah Rock, a twisted techno-take on the scientific fantasies of the Biblical Books of First and Second Kings. But yet, as it turns out, fear ye not: this is not a test. This is the Haunted House Science Fiction Quiz Show. _________________________________________________________________ Windows 7: It works the way you want. http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/windows-7/default.aspx?ocid=PID24727::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:WWL_WIN_evergreen2:112009 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

PROGRAM: 8 PM: Piece for For Four Instruments (2002), dedicated to Earle Brown INTERMISSION 9 PM: new work for quartet COMPOSER BIO: Andrew Raffo Dewar (b.1975 Rosario, Argentina) is a composer, improviser, and woodwind instrumentalist. Since 1995 he has been active in the music communities of Minneapolis, New Orleans, the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City, and performing his work internationally. He has studied with saxophonist/composers Steve Lacy, Anthony Braxton and Phillip Greenlief, composer Alvin Lucier, trumpeter/composer Bill Dixon, and has also had a long involvement with experimental and traditional Indonesian music. Dewar has been noted as "having the rare ability to translate his knowledge into something beautiful" (Foxy Digitalis). The 2008 debut recording of his music on Porter Records was described as "absorbing" (Dusted Magazine),"enshrouding" and "evoking something unnatural and plugged-in" (Bagatellen), as well as "musical rainfall" and "absolutely essential listening" (Aquarius Records). According to Paper Cuts zine, "Dewar?s music is not a watered down copy or even a respectful imitation of other musical forms; it?s his own thing." In addition to leading his own ensembles and performing in collaborative groups with known and unknown musicians from around the world, Dewar performs with and appears on several recordings by the Anthony Braxton 12+1tet and the Bill Dixon Orchestra. Dewar is Assistant Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts in New College at the University of Alabama.

Looney duo Set 2: Hans Koch (CH) - reeds Damon Smith - double bass Kjell Nordeson (SE) - percussion Set 3: Quintet Hans Koch: 1948, Biel, Switzerland; bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet, soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, electronics. Having studied at the Conservatory in Biel and Zurich, Hans Koch began his musical career as a classical clarinetist, working from 1973 to 1980 at the Music College of Winterthur. In 1978, he met Martin Sch?tz, also at the Conservatory, and they formed a jazz trio at the beginning of the 1980s, finally settling with the drummer Marco K?ppeli. Performances eventually led to a recording of the trio on ECM and then a second disc the following year (1988) on Sound Aspects. In 1985 he won the best soloist award at the Jazzfestival Lugano and in 1986 was awarded the "Kulturpreis from the city of Biel". During the same period, Koch was also a member of Werner L?di's Sunnymoon, along with Martin Sch?tz, Stephan Wittwer and Paul Lovens. In 1987 he undertook a 6-month residence in New York and played in a wide variety of situations: with Andrew Cyrille, Butch Morris, Shelley Hirsch and David Moss & many others. This resulted in regular performances at Willisau and Nickelsdorf and a recording for FMP of X- Communication (Morris, Hirsch, Sch?tz, Lovens, Hans Reichel, Jason Hwang and J.A. Dean). In 1988, Koch was a member of the Cecil Taylor European Orchestra, the recording of which was released in the much- prized In Berlin box set from FMP, as well as the ground breaking all reed trio Holz Fur Europa with Wolfgang Fuchs and Peter Van Bergan Hans Koch's solo CD, Uluru was recorded in 1989 and at the end of 1991 CHOCKSHUT (a near anagram of Koch and Sch?tz) was recorded, a sextet that included Fredy Studer. This was the beginning of the trio "Koch-Sch?tz-Studer", though their first recording with the descriptive and provocative title of Hardcore chamber music was not recorded for another three years, by which time Koch was working with electronics as an extension of his reeds, as well as with sampling/ sequencing. In the ten years that have followed, the trio has recorded frequently and collaborated with a wide variety of musicians: from Egypt, from Cuba, with DJs, and with poetry/spoken word. http://www.balancepointacoustics.com http://myspace.com/smithdamon http://www.myspace.com/damonsmithsolo -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Michael Evans is an improvising drummer/percussionist/thereminist/composer whose work investigates and embraces the collision of sound and theatrics. As well as being a drumset player, his work with unusual sound sources includes found objects, homemade instruments, the theremin and various digital and homemade analog electronics. Moe! Staiano is a percussionist who usually uses found objects, but has moved to doing drumming on found objects on his trap set (i.e. prepared percussion). Moe! (yes, he includes the exclaimation mark in his name) has experimented through the years though solo percussion using pipes, food pans, pressure caps, sheet metals, nick-nacks & other stuff that has been found, given or stolen (mainly from Pizza Hut when he worked there including a nifty Spatula that he bows). 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. His shows can sometimes expect a big mess in one fashion or another (which he replies that the aftermath of his performances represents his life) with implements of mixers & vibrators on objects spewed throughout the set. He's been a good boy cleaning up after himself, too. Moe!

Ignore the fact that the series title says "First Tuesdays!" Hans Koch Born 1948, lives in Biel, Switzerland. Hans Koch has quit his career as a recognised classical clarinetist to become one of the most innovative improvising reed-players in Europe. He has been working with everyone from Cecil Taylor to Fred Frith since the eighties. As a composer he has shaped the sound of Koch-Sch??tz- Studer since the beginning as well as working for radio-plays and film.Since the nineties he has been working with electronics as an extension of the saxes/clarinets as well as with sampling/sequencing. As a reed-player he is always working on his very own vocabulary and sound, which makes him a very unique voice on the actual scene. Michael Evans Michael Evans is an improvising drummer/percussionist/thereminist/composer whose work investigates and embraces the collision of sound and theatrics. As well as being a drumset player, his work with unusual sound sources includes found objects, homemade instruments, the theremin and various digital and homemade analog electronics. His work with the theremin varies the quality of its sound through set-up and technique. On the theremin he has performed with dancers and in group settings playing experimental, jazz, rock, ersatz lounge and chamber music. Ryan Jewell Columbus Ohio's Ryan Jewell lends his percussive skills to a vast and wide variety of settings, from holding down the drum chairs in the Siltbreeze bands Psychedelic Horseshit and Pink Reason to improvised explorations with C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core), Ben Hall (Graveyards), Nate Wooley (Melee), and Jack Wright, not to mention his much regarded electro-acoustic solo sets. He has played throughout the United States, Canada and Europe and has recorded for Chocolate Monk, Teen Action, and Dreamship Records.

Mem1 (Mark + Laura Cetilia) seamlessly blends the sounds of cello and electronics to create a limitless palette of sonic possibilities. In their improvisation-based performances, all sounds are derived from the cello as the sole source material, which is manipulated in real time. Their music moves beyond melody, lyricism, and traditional structural confines, resulting in organically revealed narrative. Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, Mem1 has traveled extensively, performing at Roulette (NYC), REDCAT / Disney Hall (LA), Levontin 7 (Tel-Aviv), the Orange County Museum of Art, the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival, Electronic Church (Berlin) and, in Spring 2009, the Borealis Festival (Bergen, Norway). In 2007, they were awarded an artist residency at Harvestworks in New York for the creation of a new Surround Sound piece, Sonodendron. Throughout the next year, they will travel throughout Europe, Norway, and Israel to take part in residencies at STEIM (NL), Kunstenaarslogies (NL) and USF Verftet (Norway), and to perform and create a sound installation for the Museums of Bat Yam (Israel). Their third full-length album, +1, consists of collaborations between Mem1 and artists such as Steve Roden, Jan Jelenik, and Frank Bretschneider. It will be released in early 2009 by Interval Recordings. http://www.mem1.com/ The story of 15 Degrees Below Zero began on May 13, 2000, with Imperial Floral Assault Unit. Gary TVG of The Violet Grind put together a band for what was supposed to be a one-off performance on KSZU, Stanford University's radio station, for their annual Day of Noise, 24 hours straight of noise performances. The members were Gary, Michael Addison Mersereau (of CTC, Cipher Utopia, and 18 Frames Per Second, amongst others), Daniel Blomquist (of Decibel, which has slowly mutated into The Twittering Machine), and Mark Wilson (then about to start his own project Conure). Prior to this performance, only Mike and Gary had collaborated together before, one recording of which can be heard on The Violet Grind/Cipher Utopia release on Troniks. This was meant to be a one-off performance. After listening back to the recording of their set, they knew they couldn't allow that to be the end. (The recording was available on a split release with Stolen Light, Conure, and Goose.) They continued as IFAU for another six months, releasing a few items, and playing several shows. However, in January, 2001, Gary decided he wanted to go his own way, and he split up the project. Despite the disappointment, Dan, Mike, and Mark decided to continue working together http://15dbz.crunchpod.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outsound Presents is a on-profit volunteer collective organization The Luggage Store Gallery is a non-profit art organization that graciously provides venue support.

Chris Brown: Poly1 (2009) "Poly1" (2009), for live computer synthesis, explores polyrhythm in quadraphonic space. It is played using new homemade software called "Ritmos", which is an interactive metronome that can play in many different tempi and meters at once. John Bischoff: Sidewalk Chatter (2009) An analog "crackle box" circuit (made by STEIM in Amsterdam) is used as a sound-making input for triggering a digital audio response via laptop computer. As a performer plays the circuit by touching exposed metal traces, a computer program analyses peak loudness and pitch contours in the analog sound and generates its own synthesized voices based in part on that information. Thanks to James Fei for "crackle box" line-out mod. Maggi Payne: Glassy Metals 7/27/09 A continuation of my fascination with the sounds of metal objects, Glassy Metals explores the sounds of tungsten filaments in burned out incandescent light bulbs, magnetic (iron oxide) tape rushing across a head stack, small ball bearings, ball chains of various sizes, sheet metal, tiny gear motors, bikes, BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit which permeates the sonic landscape of the San Francisco Bay Area), freight trains, and various other metal objects. Some sounds are used in their raw state; others, such as the BART train, which now sounds like the wind, are transformed beyond recognition. Selecting only small portions of the spectrums of several sources and layering them results in new constructs with constantly fluctuating details. The ending exaggerates these perturbations, as sources emerge from the texture and fold back in as if they are fluttering insects hovering close to us briefly, then flitting away, only to return later. Although several sources are cyclic, none are precisely so, nor are they synchronous with other sources combined in the layers, so apparent synchronous relationships occur briefly, then drift apart. Glassy Metals takes its title from non-crystalline (amorphous) metallic materials. Alex Ketley & Les Stuck: Theater-Irrelevant (2009) Theater-Irrelevant is a single mixed-media work that challenges the notions of site-specificity and aims to create a new work that is modular by design and free from the confines of creating and presenting work in a formal theater space. The piece consists of a distilled movement vocabulary, deliberately chosen for its effectiveness in a diversity of situations, venues and cultural contexts. This project has been generously supported by one of six Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation and William and Flora Hewlett Foundation Choreographer Collaboration Grants. Theater-Irrelevant is also supported by Headlands Center for the Arts and the Maggie Allessee National Center for Choreography (MANCC), as well as The San Francisco Conservatory of Dance.

Sylvie Simmons (notable author - journalist - songwriter) The Auricle (violin/french horn/ukelele trio) Foxtail's Brigade (enchanting guitar - violin - vocal duo) Phillip Greenlief (saxophone maverick) Ava Mendoza (solo guitar goddess) ...playing a zippy series of tantalizing mini-sets followed by an epic final set in which all participants will be randomly recombined and given song assignments to be written on the spot! That's right: a whole mixtape worth of brand-spankin'-new "bands" playing music never conceived of before and never to be heard again! Snooze=lose! 8pm sharp! (til about 10:30) Admission a mere $10-$20 (sliding scale) And yes: drinks, snacks, atmosphere, etc. (And for what it's worth, none of these bands are loud--this is a no-earplug-necessary event!) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
