      Phillip Greenlief and Trevor Dunnwill play short sets (as a duo and with othes) and play lots of party!

      Sorry for the very short notice but this just became official....

      think of it as a party,
      think of it as good luck,
      think of it as music performance,
      but think of it

      Tuesday, November 13th
      8pm - ?
      TUVA Space
      3192 Adeline Street, Berkeley (510) 655-9755

      Phillip Greenlief and Trevor Dunnwill play short sets (as a duo and with othes) and play lots of party. Due to all types of scheduling nightmares, we have not played duo in public for about three years. If you know our 1997 self-titled CD (5 stars ***** -- Music Hound Jazz Essential Album Guide), you know what surprises are in store. Our party planning occured too late to get coverage on this, so please tell every single last one of your friends about our party! There will be lots of refreshments on hand, but feel free to BYOB. When we're not playing, we might crank some dance music. We're serious, it's a party.

      MAROON Wednesday November 14th ~ sets at 10 & 11:30 pm ~ FREE!
      @ Black Betty
      366 Metropolitan Avenue @ Havemeyer

      MAROON is an alternative jazz group led by vocalist Hillary Maroon and pianist Benny Lackner, featuring bassist Andrew Emer and Mark Ferber on drums.

      Borne of the rock/R&B era, MAROON presents arresting original songs, unearths lesser known jazz and pop gems, and dives into nonstandard readings of older favorites. MAROON chooses its words carefully: sometimes self-mocking and frustrated, sometimes direct and vulnerable, the lyrics often embrace emotional contradictions.

      Whether grooving or playing free, MAROON's approach extends beyond typical jazz vocal territory.

      Check out our gig calendar and our new CD, Migratory: http://music.calarts.edu

      About GO: Organic Orchestra "Using new creative processes and instrumental combinations I hope to create a music that has not been heard before while expressing heartfelt thoughts and feelings".

      About Adam Rudolph:

      Originally from Chicago, Adam Rudolph has been hailed as "a pioneer in world music" by the New York Times and "a master percussionist" Musician magazine. Active in the Los Angeles music scene since 1979, he is known as one the early innovators in what is now called "World Music". In 1977 he co-founded, with Foday Musa Suso, The Mandingo Griot Society, one of the first bands to combine African and American music. In 1988, he recorded one of the first fusions of American and Gnawa (Moroccan ) music with Sintir player and singer Hassan Hakmoun.

      In 1978 Rudolph began his recording and performance association with the innovator Don Cherry which lasted until Cherry's passing in 1995. "Don opened me up by introducing me to the concepts of Ornette Coleman; he also encouraged me to start composing my own music." In 1988 Rudolph began his association with the legendary Yusef Lateef which lasts to this day. He has recorded 12 albums with Dr. Lateef including their large ensemble collaborations: 1995's "The World at Peace" and last years "Beyond the Sky". He has performed world wide with Dr. Lateef in ensembles ranging from their acclaimed duo concerts to collaborations with symphony orchestras.

      Since 1992 Rudolph has lead his own performing ensemble, Adam Rudolph's Moving Pictures, featuring longtime associate, drummer Hamid Drake and Venice based Butoh dance innovator Oguri. The group has performed in both Europe and the United States, and has released several CD's featuring Rudolph's compositions. He recently premiered The Dreamer, an Opera based on Friedreich Nietzsche's "Birth of Tragedy" and, since 1990 has lead Vashti Percussion Ensemble made up of Los Angeles based percussionist masters from Bali, Iran, India, Senegal Lebanon and Java. .

      For the past 2 decades Rudolph has performed extensively at festivals and concerts throughout North & South America, Europe, Africa, and Japan. During that time has also worked to contribute to the development of creative music in Los Angeles though producing concerts and running his own record label, Meta records. In 1998 he organized the three-day Bootstrap Festival, Los Angeles, presenting over 75 artists from many local and national cultural backgrounds. From 1992 ?97 he organized and performed a free weekly concert series of improvised music for children at the Jazz Bakery which featured guitarist Kevin Eubanks.

      presented by meta records, electric lodge and tostonidos additional support from American Composers Forum Produced by Carlos Nino http://www.metarecords.com

      Chicago

      Nov 9/10/11 The ESS Outer Ear Festival Hyde Park Art Center HPAC is at 5307 South Hyde Park Blvd. www.expsoundstudio.org

      Dear Friends,

      Achim Wollscheid is doing an installation/performance at the Hyde Park Art Center as part of the Outer Ear Festival of Sound on Nov. 9, 10, 11. It allows for the participation of other musicians, narrators, performers, etc. to input live sound into his system, which then interprets the signals as controls for a lighting setup outside the gallery. I'd like to know if you, or anyone else you know, would like to participate. I'm afraid we cannot pay you for this, but it sounds like an enjoyable interaction. If you are interested, please send an e-mail to me and to Achim, and please tell me which dates and times you can make it (multiple appearances are OK!). Technically, it will be a simple setup with a small mixer and one or two mics.

      NEW YORK CITY:

      Cin-o-matic: Memory and Cinematic Perception 19.oct - 30.dec

      New Museum
      Media Z lounge
      583 Broadway (between Houston and Prince Streets in SoHo)
      New York, NY 10012

      [ Opening Reception ] Fri. October 19, 2001 6-8 PM

      Cin-o-matic: Memory and Cinematic Perception 19.oct - 30.dec Organized by Michele Thursz in collaboration with Anne Ellegood

      Cin-o-matic explores the evolution of the cinematic experience and the impact of new technologies on time-based works. The exhibition includes the artist collaborative project Adrift and works by Willy Le Maitre and Eric Rosenzveig, Yucef Merhi, Joseph Nechvatal, and John Cabral. Each of the projects presented utilizes the Internet as a tool for reconfiguring media-into network performance, net art, software-propelled visualizations, or sculptural objects-and each creates a new cinematic experience. Although they embrace an impressive range of approaches and visual languages, the works in Cin-o-matic share a central concern with how we explore and perceive time, space, and movement through today's advanced technologies.

      Adrift, a collaboration by Helen Thorington, Marek Walczak, and Jesse Gilbert with Martin Wattenberg and Hal Eager, is an evolving multi-location Internet performance project that combines projections, narrative text, and richly textured sound streaming in real-time, linking imaginary and actual geographies. Presented for the first time on a large, semicircular screen which recalls the Cineorama, a panoramic projection space used during the World's Fair in France in 1900 to simulate a sense of drifting through an environment, Adrift creates an immersive journey through both real and virtual imagery of a harbor, metaphorically linking Internet surfing and physical movement. On opening night, Adrift will be performed by artists in different locations, and a logged datastream of an archive of this performance, augmented with live inputs, will replay in the gallery during the exhibition.

      Willy Le Maitre and Eric Rosenzveig present Appearance Machine, a constructed sculptural ecosystem that produces a cinematic aural/visual space by continuously transforming data input from locally generated refuse via a robotic system and distributing it, using live feed as media, to a global community. Images from the machine, located in Brooklyn, are analyzed for movement by the computer, and an accompanying soundtrack is generated. This sound subsequently guides the machine's mechanisms, creating additional motion and setting in place a continuous system.

      When viewed as installations, Adrift and Appearance Machine both imply a reconfiguration of the object into a cinematic experience. These works function as mechanisms in which particular elements are interchangeable so that the structure, context, and content can be translated into a variety of mediums for display.

      Using the familiar visual imagery of early video games, Yucef Merhii has created net@ari, a film that breaks down the language of cinema through basic programming and investigates the psychological relationship between human being and machine. Joseph Nechvatal's Computer Virus 2.0 is a synthetic system that behaves like a living organism by gradually eating away at the available visual imagery, commenting upon the fetishization of visual images through technological reproduction. In contrast to the magnification of experience and encapsulation of time found in most cinematic experience, John Cabral's Ground Zero is a real-time 24-hour algorithmic animation that depicts a day in the life of a fictional cartoon character as he tends to mundane tasks, undermining visitors' expectations of new media as a realm of quick gratification.

      Cin-o-matic magnifies the artistic process and the artists' use of the "digital studio." Each artist interprets the language of new media to create their own style resulting in original cinematic experiences.

      KASPER T. TOEPLITZ
      SAT OCTOBER 27 at 6ODUM
      2116 W. Chicago Ave., Chicago

      Lampo presents the Chicago debut of Kasper T. Toeplitz ... compositions for electric bass guitar and computer from the Paris-based composer / musician.

      KTT produces music of long waves of sound. He makes both monumental, low-end "BassSculptures" for bass and computer as well as solo electronic / electroacoustic laptop works with complex structures.

      His catalog includes music for Sleaze Art, a French electric guitar and bass orchestra, and pieces for chamber ensemble, symphony orchestra and contemporary dance (having received several French State commissions and commissions from IRCAM).

      In addition to his own compositions, Kasper will play a new work by Phill Niblock for bass called "Yam almost May." The piece uses multitrack recordings of Toeplitz made last year at CCMIX studios in Paris.

      Collaborators include: Aube, Rhys Chatham, Tetsuo Furudate, Zbigniew Karkowski, Joelle Leandre, Merzbow and Atau Tanaka.

      BROOKLYN! provides the first systematic look at the art emerging from this new art world center

      Roster of 86 Artists Promises Most Comprehensive Examination to Date of Present-Day Phenomenon.

      BROOKLYN! provides the first systematic look at the art emerging from this new art world center, which was largely wrested by artists from the abandoned industrial buildings and neglected storefronts of a few working class neighborhoods.

      This exhibition celebrates the moment that is Brooklyn now -- a place of vibrant synergy among artists, galleries, and neighborhoods--before this world is transformed yet again, as all `momentsí like this are,î says Michael Rush, director of the Palm Beach ICA, and a co-organizer of the exhibition with the New York-based curator and critic Dominique Nahas.

      Fred Frith composer, improviser and multi-instrumentalist, has situated himself for more than thirty years in the area where rock music and new music meet. Co-founder of the British underground band Henry Cow (1968-78), he moved to New York in the late seventies and came into contact with many of the musicians with whom he's since been associated, including, for example, John Zorn, Ikue Mori, Tom Cora, Zeena Parkins, and Bob Ostertag. Fourteen years in New York gave rise to groups like Massacre (with Bill Laswell and Fred Maher), Skeleton Crew (with Tom and Zeena), and Keep the Dog, a sextet performing an extensive repertoire of Frith's compositions.

      In the eighties he began to write for dance, film, and theatre, and this in turn has led to his composing for Rova Sax Quartet, Ensemble Modern, Asko Ensemble, and a number of other groups, including his own critically acclaimed Guitar Quartet. Best known world-wide as an improvising guitarist, Frith has also performed in a variety of other contexts, playing bass in John Zorn's Naked City, violin in Lars Hollmer's Looping Home Orchestra, and guitar on recordings ranging from The Residents and RenÈ Lussier to Brian Eno and Amy Denio. Frith is the subject of Nicolas Humbert and Werner Penzels' award-winning documentary film Step Across the Border. He is currently Professor of Composition at Mills College in Oakland, California, where he lives with photographer Heike Liss and their children Finn and Lucia.

      RAISING FUNDS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE RICH COMMUNITY OF NEW MUSIC IN THE SF BAY AREA!

      Mission Statement: For more than 50 years, San Francisco Bay Area has been an active center for New Music. The SF Alternative Music Festival (SF Alt), organized by the SF Alt Committee, will provide an opportunity to promote the New Music scene in Oakland, San Francisco, and throughout the Bay Area and raise awareness of this scene through the proliferation of

      FRED FRITH

      Fred Frith, composer, improviser and multi-instrumentalist, has situated himself for more than thirty years in the area where rock music and new music meet. Co-founder of the British underground band Henry Cow (1968-78), he moved to New York in the late seventies and came into contact with many of the musicians with whom he's since been associated, including, for example, John Zorn, Ikue Mori, Tom Cora, Zeena Parkins, and Bob Ostertag. Fourteen years in New York gave rise to groups like Massacre (with Bill Laswell and Fred Maher), Skeleton Crew (with Tom and Zeena), and Keep the Dog, a sextet performimg an extensive repertoire of Frith's compositions. In the eighties he began to write for dance, film, and theatre, and this in turn has led to his composing for Rova Sax Quartet, Ensemble Modern, Asko Ensemble, and a number of other groups, including his own critically acclaimed Guitar Quartet. Best known world-wide as an improvising guitarist, Frith has also performed in a variety of other contexts, playing bass in John Zorn's Naked City, violin in Lars Hollmer's Looping Home Orchestra, and guitar on recordings ranging from The Residents and Ren» Lussier to Brian Eno and Amy Denio. Frith is the subject of Nicolas Humbert and Werner Penzels' award-winning documentary film Step Across theBorder. He is currently Professor of Composition at Mills College in Oakland, California, where he lives with photographer Heike Liss and their children Finn and Lucia.

      The Space Between brings together three most unlikely instruments: the accordion played by the legendary American pioneer Pauline Oliveros, the Japanese shakuhachi played by Philip Gelb, one of the few shakuhachi performers in the world to concentrate on contemporary and improvised music, and the piano played by Canadian Dana Reason. What is particularly unique about this trio is that variety of intonation systems in the instrumentation. One may ask how exactly does a trio made up of such a disparate instrumentation negotiate a musical space together. The answer lies in the spaces between the individual tunings themselves. In this trio each member seeks to explore a timbral, textural, rhythmic and harmonic world wherein the conventional soundings of each instrument is challenged by extended techniques in order to re-invent the sound possibilities of each instrumental world. Together these explorations help form a hybrid music wherein the individual cultural, historical and musical identities of each instrument can lend itself to the creation of a new soundscape and a newfound shared identity. The outcome is a music that is lush, sensuous and ultimately grounded by intense listening by the three players. Each player brings a unique musical history to the listening space. Pauline Oliveros, founder of Deep Listening brings not only her 59 years of performance on the accordion, but her study in meditational and "deep listening" practices.

      Pauline Oliveros Composer/performer Pauline Oliveros based in Kingston, New York since 1981 has performed worldwide as a soloist on her just tuned accordion and with the Deep Listening Band. As a composer her recent awards include the Bessie Award from Dance Theater Workshop for Contenders (1991) a work for Susan Marshall Dance Company, A Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1992 for composing Epigraphs in the Time of Aids for the Deep Listening Band and a grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Performance 1994 for her work. Her most recent compact disc Pauline Oliveros and American Voices (1994) are already gathering critical acclaim. Njinga the Queen King (1992) a major work of music theater was created in collaboration with playwright/director Ione and presented during the Next Wave Festival at Brooklyn Academy of Music in December 1993. Seeking to support the creation of new works, their presentation and dissemination Oliveros established Pauline Oliveros Foundation Inc. in Kingston, NY - a non profit program for the arts in 1985. Currently she is the president and founder. Oliveros' career and history as a new music pioneer date to the early 60's when she became the first Director of the Tape Music Center at Mills College. She then moved to a fourteen-year stay at the University of California at San Diego, where she was a vital part of that institution's world-reknown new music program. Oliveros is considered the originator of today's meditation music, and is the composer of Sonic Meditations and Deep Listening Pieces. Her music and philosophies have been an inspiration to all forms of meditative art. Pauline has written articles for the Leonardo Music Journal.

      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, 482 music, 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 and the City of Oakland. In addition to being an active freelance performer, his current projects include "The Space Between" with Pauline Oliveros and Dana Reason; "Trio Natto" with koto player, Shoko Hikage and electronic musician, Tim Perkis; "The Wind trio of Alphaville", with saxophonists, Jon Raskin and Phillip Greenlief, duets with interactive computer composer Chris Brown, and collaborations with dancer Eri Majima. Some of the other musicians he frequently collaborates with are Joe McPhee, Matthew Sperry, and Davey Williams. He holds a BA in anthropology from the University of Florida and attended graduate studies in ethnomusicology at the Florida State University School of Music. He currently lives and teaches in the San Francisco bay area and maintains a webpage at http://value.net/~ryokan. In addition he is curator of the Meridian Music Series at Meridian Gallery in San Francisco.

      Canadian born pianist, composer and improvisor Dana Reason has performed at the California Institute for the Arts, Colorado University, Guelph Jazz Festival, Frau Musica (Nova) Cologne, San Francisco Jazz Festival, Beyond the Pink Festival, (LA), Knitting Factory (NYC), Music Gallery (Toronto), and Newfoundland Sound Symposium. Ms. Reason has been featured on National Public Radio, Radio Canada and has recorded for Music & Arts, Red Toucan, Deep Listening, Sparkling Beatnik and Ryokan labels. This past fall Musicworks magazine published a feature article titled The Piano Artistry of Dana Reaons by Dan Given. Ms. Reason is Ph.D candidate and scholarship recipient at the University of California San Diego where she studies with George E. Lewis and Anthony Davis. Her dissertation research is titled Playing like a Girl: Women Improvisors in the Second Half of the Twentieth Century: A Cross-Cultural Investigation into Musical Performativity.

      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." [--notes, Joy Garnett]
