LEFTOVERS-JANUARY 2002
SAN FRANCISCO, California:
Meridian Music: Composers in Performance presents Lewis Jordan in a
solo performance of poetry and alto saxophone!
Lewis Jordan @ Meridian 1-4-02
Friday, January 4, 2002
We do not accept reservations. We have a small, intimate space for
performances that often fills up but we have rarely turned had to
turn anyone away. Please arrive early to assure that you have a seat.
Lewis Jordan: alto saxophone, poetry
born in San Francisco, grew up in ChicagoŠwith the bluesŠlearning to
associate creative musicians with the advancement of society as we
know it.
Jordan is an international touring and recording musician; poet;
actor and playwright. He was a founding member of United Front, the
seminal San Francisco Bay Area ensemble known for its originality,
aggressive imagination and cultural synthesis. As a performer he has
bridged the worlds of music and the written word -through
composition, saxophone and poetry. He is featured on WordWind
Chorus's new CD, we are of the saying.
In his career, he has focused on creative structures for
improvisation, which has led to his work with artists from a range of
disciplines. He has performed with dancers, poets, actors and
musicians-including Brenda Wong Aoki, Anthony Braxton, Juan Ceballos,
Scott Davis III, Lisle Ellis, Sara Felder, Danny Glover, Q.R. Hand,
Mark Izu, Jon Jang, Kash Killion, Genny Lim, devorah major, James
NewtonŠmany presented in his Music At-Large series.
His interest continues to be meeting and working with performers
delving into their deeper resources for modes of expression that
honor their traditions while speaking to the urgency of the present.
If that's in B-flat, fine. If it's in time, that can work too. If
it's outside, it must be honestŠ
For the upcoming performance at the Meridien Gallery, through his
music, improvised from the private and public domains, and poetry,
Jordan will be present and address his current resonance.
Meridian Music: Composers in Performance presents concerts the first
Friday of each month in the intimate setting of Meridian Gallery. The
series has been underway since fall, 1998 and is curated by Philip
Gelb.

OAKLAND, California:
CD RELEASE CONCERT SAT. JAN. 26TH 2002 @ NOE VALLEY MINISTRY
Noe Venable will perform to celebrate the release of her new CD, "Boots"
(petridish), at the Noe Valley Ministry in San Francisco on Saturday
January 26th.
Venable will be accompanied by Alan Lin (violin and electronics), and Todd
Sickafoose (acoustic bass and keyboards), in addition to special guests.
"Boots" is an urban odyssey, seen through the eyes of a girl. This record
is something of a departure for Venable, whose previous records have tended
to explore the pathology of characters who might have felt at home in Tom
Waits' worst urban nightmares. Those characters have ranged from the down
and out (a dying transvestite) to the downright bizarre (an abandoned car
singing to its murdered driver).
"Boots" on the other hand presents a much more unified statement. It seems
to be an investigation into what it means to be a woman. "In so many of my
favorite stories," says Venable, "these troubled men dream of finding a
woman to save them. You read stories like that and you're troubled, and
you start dreaming of the same thing. Then one day you wake up and say,
wait, I am the woman in those stories. But I'm troubled! So now who's
going to save me? I think that's where Boots begins."
"Boots" is a living room effort, born of 6 months of sonic experimentation
and obsessive tinkering. Arrangements are lush, featuring electric
guitars, violin, synths, old keyboards, drums, and many sounds that
producer Todd Sickafoose and Venable can't remember how they made.
The Noe Valley Ministry is located at 1021 Sanchez (near 23rd St.) in San
Francisco. Tickets are $12 in advance / $14 at the door. Advance tickets
are available at all BASS outlets and at Streetlight Records. Doors open
at 7:30 PM and ETIENNE DE ROCHER will perform at opening set beginning at
8:00 PM. For additional venue information, please call (415) 454-5238.

LATE BREAKING NEWS: TUNE INTO CRAIG MATSUMOTO'S SHOW ON KZSU 90.1
RADIO FROM STANFORD, 5-6pm FRIDAY JANUARY 18 TO HEAR HIGHLIGHTS FROM
THE ARTSHIP CATALOG AND INTERVIEW WITH HUGH LIVINGSTON
The evening will feature the ARTSHIP Recording Artists live in
performance. The Wave One Quartet will makes its performance debut.
Artists from Wave One band together for a short improvisational
performance (Damon Smith, contrabass; Tom Bickley, recorders; Brett
Larner, gu zheng; Hugh Livingston, cello).
The featured performers will be those whose CDs are being released on
January 22 as part of Wave Three: Dan Plonsey, David Slusser, Aaron
Bennett, Jon Raskin (all playing saxophone).
There is no admission charge. Discs will be for sale for $8, or a set
of four for $28. All CDs are also available at Amoeba Records in San
Francisco and Berkeley.
The ARTSHIP Recordings label
http://www.stringsandmachines.com/artshiprecordings.html
was founded in an
effort to bring the acoustical spaces and sonic environment of the
491-foot ARTSHIP to a large audience. Each musician is invited to
tour the ship and choose the space that intrigues them the most for a
single 20-minute improvisation. The recordings are filled with
background sonic richness, including engine noise, compressors,
electrical transformer drones, motorboats and the sound of waves.
Each player has contributed an incredibly stimulating response to the
environment, and the discs are unique in their approach.
The ARTSHIP is moored at the 9th Ave pier in Oakland, and managed by
the ARTSHIP Foundation, Slobodan Dan Paich, director. The ship was
built in the 1930s as an art deco-style cruiseliner, before being
taken over by the Navy and seeing service at Guadalcanal, Okinawa and
Pearl Harbor. Since being decommissioned, it has been put to
incredible use in Oakland as an incubator for the work of East Bay
artists. Learn all about it at http://www.artship.org.
Saxophonists were invited to the ARTSHIP in a single weekend to find
a space to respond to. Dan Plonsey played baritone saxophone on the
frontmost deck as the sunset and geese and gulls passed by. Wandering
in the dim light from one end of the ship to the other, the
microphone still picks up his distant warbling when he is three
hundred feet away. David Slusser chose the lowest accessible portion
of the ship, a dark and dank catacomb four stories down. Microphones
were hung from a railing down into the space, and he moved from room
to room underneath. The stereo field is upended as the instrument is
heard traveling across the field of the mics. Aaron Bennett, soprano
sax, arrived when the engine was receiving its quarterly lubrication,
and so we set up a mobile recording situation. Engineer Robert Kauker
followed him through the engine room with a shotgun microphone, as he
went up and down stairs, around the panoply of machinery, and finally
through a narrow hatch into the Escape Shaft Alley, 75 feet of pipe
and resonant metal floors. This is the ultimate in field recording!
Jon Raskin was joined in the former Gym by his daughter for a sax and
percussion duet, complete with loose floorboards and reference to
Lateef and Dolphy. At the end Jon treats a large cast-iron pump as if
it were a gamelan!
Meet the artists on January 22 and purchase signed copies of the
discs. Next release is February 15, hosted by the Oakland Metro
Theater (percussionists Jerome Bryerton, Karen Stackpole, Gino
Robair, Moe Staiano).

Announcing the Launch of the Website for:
"Re: Duchamp Traveling Exhibition"
La Biennale di Venezia:
49th International Exhibition of Art--
Concomitant Exhibitions
http://www.nyartsmagazine.com/duchamp
"The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition is a project that has been evolving
over time. It has traveled to various cities in Germany, Poland, Chile and
Israel, as well as New York City. It is the ongoing work of Abraham Lubelski,
and incorporates the work of over 250 other artists, including Nam June Paik,
Dennis Oppenheim, Carl Andre, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Taylor Mead, Larry
Weiner, David Humphrey, Inka Essenhigh....
The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition at the 49th Venice Biennale* is an
installation of clotheslines from which artwork is hung.** The idea for this
installation is derived from Marcel Duchamp's infamous benefit exhibition
organized on the Premises of the Coordinating Council of French Relief
Societies, 451 Madison Avenue, New York, October 14th - November 7th, 1942,
in which he criss-crossed the entire gallery with one mile of string. This
entanglement, which the public had to negotiate when they came to view the
art, stood as a metaphor for the difficulties encountered in attempting to
understand modern art.
The current exhibition uses this Duchampian metaphor to point to connectivity
as much as any difficulty that might hinder an appreciation of art in the
digital age---art whose nature may be partially or completely ephemeral,
time-based, or immaterial, and which might be conveyed digitally or housed
virtually. Re: Duchamp celebrates the process of visual sampling in a world
where the line between original and copy has been blurred, and the medium is
the readymade.
** Participating artists were asked to e-mail their submissions as digital
files. These were printed out, placed in plastic sleeves and brought to
Venice for installation. Hung from criss-crossing lengths of string at the
Church of S. Maria Ausiliatrice, they resemble so many Tibetan prayer flags,
the wind and the Web conveying and disseminating their messages.
* At the 49th Venice Biennale, the Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition forms
part of the Markers Project, which involves organizations in Venice including
the Peggy Gugghenheim Collection, the Biennale Arti Visive, and the
Municipality of Venice itself."

Their number is 212-677-6963

Please call or surf for detailed directions.
We play trippy ambient avant-garde and neo-romantic electro-acoustic excursions
mixed with inspired silliness. Great backround music for sitting around drinking
and (sotto voce) talking, or, if you're really into that kind of music, great
music to pay utterly rapt, almost religious attention to, to the exclusion of all
social graces and practices of personal hygeine.
I play guitars, flutes, viola, home-made instruments and (sort of) sing. My
partner in musical crime, Jennifer Lowman, plays synths like a whirling dervish.
You can find out more about us, including reviews and downloadable songs at:
http://www.sonotrope.com
I hope you can come, bring more warm bodied friends, and DRINK LOTS OF BEER. That
way, we'll all have a good time and we'll be invited back to play again!
Of course, if you like what you hear, you can also come over after the set, pat
us on the back and buy our new CD 'Stranger Than Truth'.
If you don't like what you hear, come over and say hi anyway...!
