The Spirit Moves Us is a 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. The East Bay 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 (flute/sax & kalimba) has performed regularly throughout the country and locally with his Forward Energy bands.

The artists on this compilation do not as a general rule play Carnegie hall, but in their hearts burn the true future and nature of jazz. This compilation is a series of pieces played by different groups who all hold true the Free-Jazz aesthetic, with a difference which will be noticeable to the listener. The abandon in these recordings references an earlier time when the music was new and angry, while the cut up fragmented black metal broken-down fragmented, totally devastated aspect of this sound pulls from the later history of punk and metal that many of the musicians on this record come from both culturally and musically. Mudwagon is a recording project by numerous living generations, a state of mind, broken van full of tired explorers, empty gas stations, graffiti covered toilets, jelly donuts, coffee in a hotel a 4 am, ugly garages, and beautiful states. ?This is one Mudwagon that takes us fourwheelin' through some greasy, sludgey, glorious turf, being a collection of improv tracks that pay homage to the free styles of the past while incorporating some of that same freedom found in newer genres.? - Mike Wood, music emissions THE ART & ARTIST CJ Borosque, is a well known bay area based improviser and noise artist having her debut show as a painter at Flux 53. Her art is a blending of genres pulling from abstract and avant-garde traditions. This show is an emergence from a time of madness into a period of personal growth. Her darkness of the last few years and the burdens of coming to terms with her mania have been lifted and helped by the time she has spent in isolation, painting. This show is a gift from her unconscious as a means to find healing. She hopes her work inspires. ABOUT THE MUSIC Tri-Cornered Tent Show - Philip Everett, Autoharp, Electronics, Percussion Ray Schaeffer, Electric Basses; Anthony Flores, Drumset, Percussion In the early 20th century "tent shows" created multiple stages of interest vying simultaneously for attention. They could be selling you medicine, salvation, entertainment or war. While Drawing on combined influences in R&B/dance, classical, multi cultural folk, progressive rock, 20th century avant garde, free jazz and heavy metal, Tri-Cornered Tent Show pushes the envelope of melodic groove and arrhythmic improvisation, sometimes evoking images of 70's Italian horror pictures. and other outr..e forms of cinema. Around the turn of the 21st century the Tri-Cornered Tent Show driven by two intrepid tavelers Philip Everett and Ray Schaeffer, came out from their exile held up in a well-insulated dank studio in the depths of Richmond California for almost three decades. Wiggwaum- Loren Means, trombone, electronic recorder and voice; Douglas Katelus, keyboards; RandyLee Sutherland, drums Wiggwaum was formed in 2007 and made its debut in an YLEM Forum presentation at RX Gallery. They have played at Amnesia, Annie?s Social Club, Artists? Television Access (sponsored by SF Cinematheque), El Rincon, El Rio, Hemlock Tavern, The Knockout, Lipo Lounge, Luggage Store, and New Nothing Theater, all in San Francisco, 21 Grand in Oakland, as well as at Dead Herring House in Brooklyn, New York. Wiggwaum?s first record is available, on vinyl and CD, in conjunction with the band Poor School. The Spirit Moves US - Jim Ryan, tenor saxophone; Bob Marsh, cello; Spirit, percussion 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. Jay Korber, tenor saxophonist and drummer. Jay works with many local groups including Ettrick. The Lords of Outland - Rent Romus, alto, soprano saxophones, voice; CJ Borosque, fx pedals; Ray Schaeffer, 6-string electric bass; Philip Everett, drums, autoharp, electronics 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 = CJ Borosque screaming electronic devices, Philip Everett heinous percussion, and Ray Schaeffer evil e-bass. INSTAGON was started in 1993 as a musical experiment in thee United States, by members ov Thee Temple of Psychick Youth North America (TOPYNA), to become counter-part to thee UK TOPY ensemble called Psychick TV (PTV). Shortly there after PTV disbanded and thee networking between thee two groups became feudal. Members ov thee TOPY North America Access Point called BABYLON ov this era are responsible for thee birth ov thee deamon, Instagon, although artist/creatist LOB tends to be held as the founder or creator ov thee project.Instagon uses musical theories ov Jazz and "Jam" music to approach garage rock from a new side..creating something new, very vital and extremely different.. a fusion ov progressive rock, drunge punk, and jamming, interlaced with CHAOS THEORY to create "Garage Jazz"..

You see him methodically cutting in the corners, then painting the four walls, then starting in on the floor and working until he?s trapped in a tiny unpainted spot in one corner. Then, suddenly, a small door opens, he jumps out and paints the last bit, and the door shuts and he vanishes. If you watch the entire piece, this routine repeats 6 times, each with the artist using a different color. The piece really made me (and everyone else who was watching) laugh with glee. I don?t know why exactly. But I do know that the painting oneself into a corner motif, literally rendered there, certainly resonated with me in the context of the way I seem to live my life. I do indeed go through cycles of ?biting off more than I can chew? so to speak, and then somehow managing to finish what I?ve started by hook or crook before wriggling myself into the next tight spot. Ouch! Too many metaphors there, but you get the picture. So, quickly: I?ve had an eventful summer culminating in an extended journey (Colorado, New York, Venice Italy, Linz Austria, Paris France, New York) that dropped me back in San Francisco just in time for the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival! (SFEMF celebrates it's 10 year anniversary this year... scroll down to the details section for more on that.) After visiting family and meeting old friends in Colorado (how about that Facebook? I reunited with a violinist friend Nicolo Casewit, who I hadn?t seen in 25 years!) I headed for New York where I performed with sound and multichannel video in a shared evening with Todd Reynolds & Luke Dubois in "Billyburg". Then I worked with Elise Kermani the next night on a reading of her new Poe piece. In Venice, I spent most of my time trying to see every pavilion of la Biennale and managed even to make my customary pilgrimage to the Peggy Guggenheim Palazzo where I left a wish on the Yoko Ono wish tree. In Linz, I attended Ars Electronica, met with my colleagues Rupert Huber and Sabine Breitsameter from this year's Digital Musics jury, and enjoyed seeing Bill Fontana receive his Golden Nica. I delivered my radio piece to KunstRadio (which I was editing up to the last minute in my hotel rooms throughout the trip). My piece, which uses some of my work-in-progress Baggage Allowance material, aired in Vienna on Sept 6th, but can still be heard at http://www.kunstradio.at. The final Ars Electronica concert (starting with Award of Distinction recipient Tristan Perich & his 1-bit Music) was a highlight! Then off to Paris where met with Norbert Schnell at IRCAM and experimented with some fascinating MAX MSP objects he?s designing. Then it was back to NYC, where I attended a Glen Branca concert at le Poisson Rouge before returning to SF. Now I?m working like crazy to prepare for my performance for the final concert of the tenth anniversary edition of the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival (while also doing my bit working as one of the organizers of the festival!) In my performance I?ll be working with voice, electronics, and video, and hopefully including a few excerpts from my new work-in-progress Baggage Allowance. Going forward, I have a performance and workshop next week in San Jose, and I?m also working on music for Brenda Way?s new dance work. I also have two gallery exhibitions approaching and need to get my installation work together for those. I?ll show Parts of Speech at the University Art Gallery at CSU Chico next month, and I?ll show the installation part of Baggage Allowance at the Krannert Museum outside Chicago in January of 2010. I?m also having to really get in gear for creating and mounting the performance premieres of Baggage Allowance which will happen in 2010 at Theater Artaud (Z Space) in San Francisco and the Kitchen in New York. So, I?ve got my hands very full and, as I back myself into my corner, I?m looking for the little John Baldessari escape door, but it doesn?t seem to be anywhere in sight just yet... baci- pz ?

Rebele Gallery and Geballe Family Balcony Stanford University http://museum.stanford.edu/participate/programs_events_faculty_choice.html The Metaphysics of Notation April 2009 - February 2010 Rowland K. Rebele Gallery and Geballe Family Balcony The Faculty Choice series continues this year with a new acoustic twist. Mark Applebaum, associate professor of composition and theory in Stanford?s Department of Music, has composed The Metaphysics of Notation specifically for installation at the Cantor Arts Center. This unique and unusual work will wind its way around the Geballe Family Balcony before reaching its destination in the Rowland K. Rebele Gallery. The score will be on display during museum hours for 11 months and will be performed by musicians?Stanford students, faculty, and visiting artists?on site at midday each Friday. Applebaum?s score is a work of visual art teeming with evocative glyphs and densely arranged pictographs. The meaning of these visual figures is deliberately left undefined by the composer; each performer is invited to make a sonic realization of the score by articulating its signs according to a personal interpretation. Presentation of The Metaphysics of Notation is a collaboration that represents the Center?s highest intentions to involve Stanford faculty and students in ways meaningful to their own work and studies and to bring their work to the attention of the visiting public. Applebaum?s solo, chamber, orchestra, choral, operatic, and electroacoustic music has been performed throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa, with notable premieres at the Darmstadt Summer Sessions. He is active as a jazz pianist and especially as a designer of new, experimental instruments, which he calls ?soundsculptures.? These instruments?tangles of junk, found objects, and hardware mounted on electroacoustic soundboards? illustrate Applebaum?s current preoccupation with visually arresting music notation. In this work, it is as if the three-dimensional instruments have been compressed onto the two-dimensional surface of the paper, thus engendering the eccentric and peculiar pictographs of the installation. m@ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Layered with existential questioning and animal nature, it has been known to lure impulsive audience participation. Do if you dare! The piece ends with a fruity essence. Wood-Rome?s *Dancing with Myself* is an experimental solo clarinet-electronics tribute to Billy Idol. * Autobiohumneo* is an exploration into the songs that narrate our interior lives, also performed by the Cornelius Cardew Choir. *The World* is a song for soprano and steel drum accompaniment set to a poem by Lawrence Ferlingetti. *Rachel Wood-Rome* was born in Hartford and spent her formative years in Queens. She studied French horn performance and composition at the Aaron Copland School of Music, CUNY with David Jolley and Jeff Nichols, respectively. Now she lives in the East Bay, where she teaches music to adults with developmental disabilities, plays her horn with the improvised music ensemble The Auricle and writes the chamber music you will/are/have listened to this evening. A native of Sonoma County CA, composer * Sarah Stiles* began her musical endeavor at a very young age as a classical pianist. Stiles? ambitions stuck with the piano until she discovered the innovative music of the 20th century, at which point she was spurred to also compose. Primarily self-taught, Stiles continued to compose solo while studying at the University of California, Berkeley, where she received a B.A. in Music. In May 2008, Stiles received a Master's of Music in Composition from the San Francisco Conservatory. Performances of Stiles? ouvre include premieres with San Francisco Composers? Circle, the New Keys Concert Series, the New Music Ensemble of the San Francisco Conservatory, the Conelius Cardew Choir, the Temescal Experiment, the Outsound Series at the Luggage Store Gallery, and self-produced concerts. Stiles enjoys performing with the Cornelius Cardew Choir, an avant-garde ensemble of composer-performer improvisers. Stiles held an Artist in Residence position at SOTA (San Francisco School of the Arts) where she taught music theory and musicianship. Currently she teaches around the Bay Area private lessons in composition, theory, musicianship, and piano. Her website is *http://www.SarahStiles.com* .

While Lewis uses compositions and conversations by and with Wolter as the basis for a mapping system, addressing the limitations of both the body and language as avenues for communication, Wolter explores altered states of being, through music, a Neanderthal, and an obscure game entitled Bro-Ball. The music is sounding like thru composed chromatic jazz prog rock, odd meter and harmonies, with strange lyrics - challenging for the dancers to count! Also a few performance art pieces thrown in for good measure. Musicians: Charith Premawardhana: viola, Ivor Holloway: reeds, Shayan Dunkelman: pitched percussion, Jordan Glenn: drums, Curtis McKinney: bass, Bill Wolter: guitar, Max Stoffregen: keyboards, and Melody Ferris: voice, Nick Culp: Piano.

C. Way and James Kaiser 9 pm: Past-Present-Future: Myles Boisen, Lisa Mezzacappa, and John Hanes THE PROGRAM: 8 PM: Tonight?s first Blood Moon performance will be a live reworking of a piece first performed by Way and Kaiser five years ago, which at the time involved minimal electronics, voice, metals and much atmosphere. This piece will project the mental and emotional state of two artists who share a heavily water and moon influenced birth sign. Inspired by and recorded originally on a blood moon, now performed live on another years later, this marks the completion of a cycle. INTERMISSION 9 PM: Past-Present-Future will premiere a Blood Moon Suite composed for the occasion. PERFORMER BIOS: Andy C. Way is an Oakland based sound artist who has been working in "experimental music" for the last decade. He works primarily with processed sound, in an attempt to reduce his music to the most instinctual and emotional level. His focus tends to his many goups (Maleficia, French Radio, NF Orchest, Carrion, Cannis Lupus, Rostro Negro, Riqis ect..) but solo performances under the moniker A.C.Way do occur. http://www.facebook.com/l/;www.myspace.com/acwaymusic> James Kaiser is a Berkeley transplanted sound artist active since moving here in 1997, with works preceding that time from both Kansas City and New Orleans. Solo works are usually presented under the moniker 'petit mal', and collaborations with like minded cohorts (A.C.Way, Angela Hsu, Bruce Anderson, 'Thomas Carnacki', the 'Zenflesh Collective') are many. Typical instrumentation involves contact mics, a bowed bicycle wheel, shortwave and tape loops. http://www.facebook.com/l/;www.myspace.com/petitmalmusic> Myles Boisen is a guitarist, composer, improvisor, and record producer/engineer, best known around the Bay Area for his twin-necked twanging in The Splatter Trio, as well as musical exploits with The Club Foot Orchestra. Over the past two decades Myles has performed or recorded with John Zorn, Tom Waits, Fred Frith, Rova Saxophone Quartet, John Tchicai, Nina Hagen, Eugene Chadbourne, Vinny Golia, Myra Melford, Glenn Spearman, Ralph Carney, and his own "Guitarspeak" and "Past-Present-Future" ensembles. In collaboration with guitarists Fred Frith, Henry Kaiser, Elliott Sharp, Robert Fripp and others, he has developed a potent musical language that combines a wealth of traditional and contemporary styles, focusing particularly on prepared guitar technique, sparse blues soundscapes and improvisation. ******************************** Outsound Presents is a 501(c)3 non-profit volunteer collective of explorative sound artists who, among other You can also make a tax deductible donation by clicking this link below https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?camd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=4207333 The Luggage Store Gallery is a non-profit art organization that graciously provides venue support.
