Some words about the record:
Scott Amendola Band (Artofmyheart Records)
If Scott Amendola didn't exist, the San Francisco music scene would have to
invent him. It's tempting to call the flexible New Jersey native the Rob
Burger of the drums; for like Burger (the ubiquitous
accordion/keyboard-player of Tin Hat Trio et. al.), Amendola crops up on
records from innumerable musical niches Since settling in San Francisco in
1992, he has played with guitarists Charlie Hunter, Will Bernard, Bill
Frisell and Pat Martino, singer Noe Venable, koto player Miya Masaoka,
bluegrass-fusion picker Tony Furtado, pianist Paul Plimley, saxophonist
Phillip Greenlief, and clarinetist Ben Goldberg, among others. And he's
anchored the band's TJ Kirk, Oranj Symphonette, and Snorkel. But he obviously
has an original muse pacing around inside his brain, champing at the bit to
get out and express itself.
Of Scott Amendola Band's ten tracks, only three are covers, and those - Jimi
Hendrix's "Manic Depression," Fela Anikulopo Kuti's "This Is Sad," and Nick
Drake's "One Of These Things First" - serve as specific frames for the edgy
and bluesy rock, African polyrhythmic, and wistfully melodic elements that
Amendola integrates into his own compositions. Guitarist Dave Macnab,
saxophonist Eric Crystal, violinist Jenny Scheinman, and bassist Todd
Sickafoose are the empathetic co-conspirators in Amendola's scheme to
undermine expectations at every turn. This a "new jazz" recording, but that
label falls short of capturing the difference between, say, the gripping
North Oakland raunchiness of "59th St. Blues," the slinky bounce of "Slow
Zig," the densely orchestrated Ornette Coleman-like cry of "Hymn," and the
spacious and tender violin-centric poignancy of "Diana Maria," all of which
indicate that Amendola is doing a fine job of inventing himself, and his
music, on his own terms. -- Derk Richardson, SF Bay Guardian
NEW YORK CITY:
Pianist/Tap Dancer Anthony DeMare - premieres Randy Wolfe Work and
Performs Cage, Nancarrow, Rzevski and Others
May 3-6 at New York's HERE
The estimable, renowned, and redoubtable pianist, reciter and tap-dancer
Anthony De Mare at New York's HERE May 3-5. Tap-dancer, you say? Why yes.
In Randy Wolfe's new work, Limbs Akimbo, Mr. De Mare not only plays the piano
and recites, he eventually explodes into a fury of tap-dance mania. It has
something to do with his conflicted past, when he had to decide whether to
devote his life to the latest repertoire for the piano, or the glamour and
allure of a life of musical theater and tap-dancing. It's all part of his new
recital, entitled "Playing with Myself." He will also perform works by Cage,
Cowell, Floyd, Gavilan, Jordanova, Mobberley, Monk (Meredith, not Thelonius),
Nancarrow, Rzewski, Sharman and Speach.

comtemporary dance. The group has established last year in 2000 and has
been perfoming mainly in SF. Just had performances at Theater Yugen and
planning to tour Europe and Japan in Fall and next year. In "Blank Map"
we want to fill up the story of each of us.
"Eri Majima is a comtemporary dancer with Butoh esthetics. Her unique
style abandons traditional technique and forms thus creating a new view
of physical training & expression."
Majima attened to North Carolina School of The Arts in Ballet for 4 years
and has worked withð renowned international dance companies such as Chen
and Dancers (NY), Mariko Sanjo Danceð Company (NY), Hyo Takahashi's
Balletopia Company (Tokyo), and The Alvin Ailey Workshopð Company (NY).
In 1984 she established her dance school in Tokyo, teaching ballet and
Modern. In 1995 established her own dance company; Eri Majima Dance
Emerge. She was nominated for Japan Platform in Les Ves Recontre
Choreographic Competition in 1996 and also recieved a prize in Saitama
Int'l Choreography Competition in 1997. She has given workshops at Mary
sano's Studio of Duncan Dancing, Jon Sim's, and classes at San Francisco
Dance Center, and performances at Venue 9, City College of San Fracisco,
Somarts Cultural Center, and Noh Space of Theater Yugen in San Francisco
as well as at Theater X , Session House in Tokyo and at Torii Hall in
Osaka. She is intersted in collaborating with artists and musicians, has
worked with Chris Brown (composer, computer), Mamoru Fujieda (composer),
Philip Gelb (shakuhachi), Carla Kidlstedt (violin), Hugh Livingston
(cello), Yoshihide Ohtomo (turntable), Keisuke Ohta (violin), Noriko
Nagano (soft sculputure), Yoji Toyosaki (artist), Hidekatsu Yanagi

Philip Gelb is one of a handful of shakuhachi players focusing on new
music. He has studied shakuhachi with Kurahashi Yoshi, Ronnie Nyogetsu
Seldin and Dale Olsen bai-o. He has performed throughout North America
and in Europe and Japan as a soloist and in various ensembles,
premiering numerous new works for shakuhachi solo and in varied
ensembles. His recordings have been released on Deep Listening, Leo,
Sparkling Beatnik, New World/Countercurrents, Ryokan, Abray, Cultural
Labyrinth and Limted Sedition. He has received grants from the Florida
Arts Council, Meet the Composer and the Knight Ridder Foundation. In
addition to being an active freelance performer, his current projects
include "The Space Between" with Pauline Oliveros and Dana Reason, duets

American solo recital at the Honolulu Academy of Arts Theater as part of
the New Music Across America Series. In 1997, she moved to San Francisco
and performs regularly throughout the U.S.A., Germany, Argentina, Japan,
etc.Also, she teaches Koto at the Japanese Cultural Community Center
Northern California.
TIM PERKIS has been working in the medium of live electronic and computer
sound for many years, performing, exhibiting and recording extensively in
North America and Europe. His work has largely been concerned with
exploring the emergence of life-like properties in complex systems of
interaction. He has been a well-known innovator in several influential
live electronic performance groups, from The League of Electronic Music
Composers in the 80's, to The Hub in the 90's, and FUZZYBUNNY today. In
addition, he is a well known performer in the San Francisco Bay Area's
active improvised music scene, having worked with local artists such as
Chris Brown, Gino Robair, the ROVA saxophone quartet and Phillip Gelb, as
well as international players such as Wadada Leo Smith, Roscoe Mitchell,
Eugene Chadbourne, John Butcher, Fred Frith and John Zorn. Recordings of
his music are available on the Artifact, Meniscus, Lucky Garage, Curva
Minore, Limited Sedition and Sonore labels.
Chris Brown (b. 1953), composer, pianist, and electronic musician,
creates music for acoustic instruments with interactive electronics, for

his music include "TALKING DRUM", binaural recordings of interactive
installations interleavedð with environmental soundscapes on Sonore,
"LAVA", for brass percussion and electronics on Tzadik, "DUETS",

of John Coltrane's Ascension, on Black Saint. He has also performed and
recorded extensively with The Hub, and the Glenn Spearman Double Trio.
His most recent music explores polyrhythm in a series of "INVENTIONS" for
computer networks with interactive performers. He has received
commissions from the Berkeley Symphony, the Rova Saxophone Quartet, the
Abel-Steinberg-Winant Trio, and the Gerbode Foundation. He
also teaches Composition and Electronic Music at Mills College in

ELECTRONIC MUSIC (MAX/MSP) AND VIDEO (NATO.0+55) IMPROVISATION
Mutable Surface @ Roulette, Saturday May 5
BRUCE GREMO AND RENE BEEKMAN AT ROULETTE
MUTABLE SURFACE:
Inter-routing improvisation using Max/MSP and nato.0+55
or
14 theaters taken from a certain Chinese encyclopedia
May 5th, Saturday 2001 @ 8:30 PM - $ 10 (members free)
ROULETTE
228 West Broadway at White Street
Reservation/Info:Ý 212.219.8242
Email your inquiry to: info@roulette.org or
bruce.gremo@suddensite.net.
Bruce Gremo and RenÈ Beekman have created a multiple computer instrument,
'route' on which they improvise with concrete and synthetic audio and
projected video materials, using many digital processing strategies.Ý
They control these processes using shakuhachi and flute, EWI (electronic
wind instrument), and Wacom tablet.
The players improvise with the sources and destinations of their control
data, sending musical control to video, and video control to the music.Ý
Imagine a fantastic air traffic controller who improvises with the design
of runways and approaches in real time. In sending the control back and
forth, there is contention, cooperation, indifference, and even slapstick
in the actions of the performers. It is a drama of control.Ý But the
punch line is, it is also a process of continuously re-learning how to
loose control.
or
In the book "The Order of Things", philosopher Michel Foucault 'cited'
the writer Borges who 'cited' a "certain Chinese encyclopedia" which
provides a list of animals.ÝÝ In "Mutable Surface," each list entry is
developed as a theater concept.Ý Each of the 14 theaters of this work are
expressed as a configuration of control routing.Ý In organizing a 'route'
performance around this list, the artists take an opportunity to draw
from out of the route concept, an implicit, constrained, and eager
theatricality.
What is this theater about?Ý Lists.
The work of Bruce Gremo conjoins composition, improvisation, and
interactive computer programming. Most recently, as an Artist in
Residence at Harvest Works, NYC, he recorded an interactive multiple
computer work, Talkative Gods, which interfaces an acoustic musician, a
computer video artist, and an actress.Ý It received four performances in
Dec.Ý He was a featured composer inÝ the "Cooler by the Shade" series in
NYC, (9/22/00).Ý He premiered an interactive environment/work called Koan
& Drone, a work that interfaces up to four acoustic musicians to a
computer program.ÝÝ He and computer video artist RenÈ Beekman were
featured in two concerts at the World Wide Video Festival in Amsterdam
(9/13-14/00).Ý They introduced an instrument/work entitled Route, an
instrument which is optimized for improvisation and live processing of
sound and image, and which enables cross routing of control, from the
audio to the video domain, and back.Ý His computer environment work
series for acoustic improvisers, Pathos, has been performed numerous
times in studio lab performances in New York.
As a performer, he has participated in festivals ranging from the Lincoln
Center Festival, where he performed as a guest soloist with the Lincoln
Center Chamber Music Society, to Wien Modern, Vienna as orchestral
soloist; from the BBC Proms Festival at the Royal Albert Hall in London
as orchestral soloist, to the renowned Montpelier International Dance
Festival in France.Ý He has worked around the world as a music director,
soloist and conductor.
RenÈ Beekman is an electronic artist who currently divides his timeÝ
between Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Sofia, Bulgaria. His work hasÝ
been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in the Netherlands, theÝ
U.K., Canada, France, Germany, Austria, China, Finland, Switzerland,Ý
Estonia, Poland, Bulgaria, Croatia and the United States among others. He
has collaborated with composer & musician Bruce Gremo with whom he
performed in Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and in New YorkÝ (U.S.) He has
published in Lier en Boog, Series of Philosophy of Art and Art Theory,
co-organized the "That Media Thing" symposia in Amsterdam, given
workshops and curated a single channel video-art presentation in
Bulgaria.Ý His work is included in public video-collection in Nagoya,
Japan, and is distributed by Montevideo in Amsterdam (the Netherlands)
and the Kitchen in New York (U.S.). He has fulfilled an artist in
residency at Harvestworks in New York (U.S.) in 1995.
