Abandoned toys

2008-07-30T18:03:42Z

Is anybody else completely loving the new album "the witch's garden", by Abandoned toys? I think its the best ambient album I have come across in years. If you don't own a copy, you should really look into finding a copy. I think they have some clips of it on their site at:

Ingebrigt Håker Flaten (born 1971 in Oppdal, Norway) is one of the most important figures in creative music in Norway – and elsewhere – today.

Coming from a musical family of six sisters and brothers, and a father who played the organ, he started to play piano and guitar at an early age. He switched over to the bass guitar, playing in a gospel choir in his hometown when he was 12. At 18 he moved to norwegian city Trondheim, where he picked up the acoustic bass, and decided he wanted to study at the music academy there, a school that has shaped many of the influental figureheads of the norwegian contemporary scene today. In 1992 he got into the school, and studied there for three years with bassplayer Odd Magne Gridseth, saxophonist Jon-Paal Inderberg and pianist Erling Aksdal.

Since 1995 Ingebrigt Håker Flaten have been a professional musician based in Oslo, and have been an important musician in leading scandinavian bands such as The Source, Element, Maria Kannegård Trio, Petter Wettre Trio, and between 1997-04 toured the world with the famed norwegian keyboard/piano player Bugge Wesseltoft and his New Conceptions of Jazz. Together with Bugge he performed with internationally established artists such as John Scofield (US), Joshua Redman (US) and Eric Trufaz (FRA).

Today Ingebrigt Håker Flaten have released more than 40 recordings and is focusing his work in Atomic, The Thing with Mats Gustafson, Atomic/School Days, Scorch Trio with Raoul Björkenheim, The Electrics with Axel Dörner, Free Fall with Ken Vandermark, Close Erase with Christian Wallumrød, Tore Brunborg Kvartett and is regulary doing solo performances.

Ingebrigt Håker Flaten..s creative and highly original bass playing has been highly regarded all over the world and he have done several performances with major international artists such as Evan Parker (UK), Paul Lytton (UK), Joe McPhee (US), Joe Lovano (US), Yusef Lateef (US), Tony Oxley (UK), Iain Ballamy (UK), Dave Liebman (US), Chris Potter (US), Zim Ngqvana (SA), Benoit Delbeq (FRA), Dr.L.Subramaniam (IND), Billy Cobham (US), Jean Luc Pounty (FRA). He has frequently appeared at important international jazz festivals in Den Haag, Liége, Montraux, Athens/Georgia, Cape Town, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Paris, Istanbul, Saalfelden, Nice, Groningen, San Francisco, San Sebastian, Lüc, Nancy, London, Perpignan, Molde, Perth, Kongsberg, Berlin, Houston and legendary clubs such as New Morning in Paris, Quasimodo in Berlin, Ronny Scotts and Pizza Express in London, Knitting Factory and Tonic in New York, Empty Bottle in Chicago, Blue Note in Yokohama and Hemlock Tawern in San Francisco.

His musical expression is based on the language of jazz and improvised music, acoustic and electronic, but his interest in rock and ethnic music also shows through his collaborations with the norwegian rock bands Motorpsycho and Cato Salsa Experience as well as his work through Rikskonsertene
In July 2003, as the first bass-player in Norway, he released his solo-CD "Double bass" on the norwegian label SOFA.

He has at the tender age of 33 already managed to establish himself as one of the most important exponents of the younger generation of musicians on the european scene today. In July 2004 Ingebrigt Håker Flaten was awarded Kongsberg Jazzfestival official "Vitalprisen" – the highest award for jazz musicians in Norway.

My European tour show tonight HIDE GALLERY Santa Cruz (10-11) details below

2008-07-11T04:46:06Z

I have just returned from headlining 15 live looping festivals and events
in 8 countries in Scandinavia, Germany and the British Isles during
a long 2 month tour.

On that tour, the TRANSPARENT DAYGLO ORANGE PLASTIC tour
I came up with an unusual found sound/live looping show that
utilizes a lot of Dayglo Orange Plastic under
black lights (and bells and tuning forks
and vibrators and trumpet and overtone flutes and extended vocal
techniques and beat boxing and and and......

I will be performing this show at the very final performance at
the HIDE GALLERY in Santa Cruz, tonight (FRIDAY, July 11th)
from 10-11 p.m.

The HIDE , in case you don't know, is in the 2nd block
of FRONT STREET just South of LAUREL STREET downtown.

FRONT STREET curves to the right as you approach the hill
and that's where I'll be performing along with an amazing
electronica/pop band from LA, WOVEN (11 p.m.-12 a.m.).

They are one of my very favorite musical groups and they rarely
play in Northern California.

There will also be painters and airbrushers and dancers all
performing and creating while I play so it should be
a wonderful send off to one of the most creative institutions
that this town has seen in a long time.

I hope you can make it.

Great to be back in Santa Cruz,

I hope to see you at the show tonight.

yours, Rick Walker

They, Who Sound - Sunday, May 18th

Experimental music has a home in midtown – or at least it’s been invited crash there for a couple of months . . .

Iconoclastic noise, exploratory improvisation, hypnotic droning, and authentic "musique brut" have for decades been strong undercurrents affecting movement in Houston’s music (and art). They deeply impact what we hear and feel on the surface. But these scenes (or phenomena – underground music is often not coming from a ‘scene’) also produce many of Houston’s most well-known musical exports (unbeknownst to most Houstonians – even in the music and “cultural arts” communities).

“They, Who Sound” will offer two sets sampling a diverse range of underground music in Houston (with a potential for visiting artists as well) in the cozy environs of Backroom (the space behind The Mink). These shows are not to be missed. These events are early, there’s a bar and it’s on the train route!

Peter Brotzmann and Han Bennink - April 27, 2008

2008-04-02T18:00:20Z

Nameless Sound Presents ::
Pioneers of European Free Improvisation
Peter Brotzmann and Han Bennink
on April 27, 2008

Peter Brotzmann (Germany) - saxophones, clarinets
Han Bennink (Holland) - drums, percussion
Sunday, April 27 2008 at 8pm
at Diverse Works
1117 East Freeway
Houston, TX

$13 General Admission
$10 Students
Everyone Under 18 Gets in For Free
Tickets Available at the Door

For Information,
Call Nameless Sound at 713-928-5653
or go to www.namelesssound.org

Pioneers of European free improvisation, Han Bennink and Peter Brotzmann made a landmark statement together in 1968 with "Machine Gun", the incendiary recording by the Peter Brotzmann Octet. The two continued their groundbreaking collaboration in duo, trio, and quartet settings. After 12 years, the contrast between Brotzmann's severe intensity and Bennink's gleeful anarchy had run its course. In 1980, they went separate ways, playing the last concert of their fruitful 12-year collaboration.

In 2004, Brotzmann organized a series of performances to reunite the duo after a 24-year hiatus. Time added perspective to the work of both artists. Though he still turns up the high heat, Brotzmann now reveals a lyricism at heart of his fury. Bennink's physicality is still prominent; but he has shown himself to be an heir to the tradition of the great swing drummers like Baby Dodds, Jo Jones, and Max Roach.

An art student with connections to the Fluxes movement, Peter Brotzmann rejected a career in the galleries after hearing a concert by jazz legend Sidney Bechet. Self-taught on saxophones and clarinets, Brotzmann played modern jazz influenced by Ornette Coleman and worked with American greats like Don Cherry and Steve Lacy. He was crucial at the beginning of Europe's free improvisation movement. Brotzmann developed a style similar to radical American saxophonist Albert Ayler (without much knowledge of Ayler), an uncompromising, screaming cry that challenged itself to greater heights of rage and energy. Time added subtlety to his sound. Bluesy lyricism and timeless muezzin-like calls emerged in later years. He is one of the most influential saxophone players in free improvisation.

One of the hard swinging drummers in jazz and improvised music, Han Bennink has a reputation as an anarchic and electrifying performer. Well known for his physicality and sense of humor, Bennink's concerts lie somewhere in the realm of virtuosic percussion display and dadaist performance. He is famous for coaxing unusual sounds from his drums, augmenting his kit with found debris, and drumming on any surface available (walls, floors, chairs, his own body). In Holland in the 1960s, Bennink was quickly recognized as an uncommonly versatile drummer. He accompanied visiting jazz greats like Sonny Rollins, Eric Dolphy and Dexter Gordon. At the same time, Bennink helped to create a European improvised music that evolved an identity separate from its jazz roots. His collaborators in the worlds of free jazz and improvisation include most of the important artists in the music: Don Cherry, Misha Mengelberg, John Tchicai, Evan Parker, Derek Bailey, Steve Lacy, Eugene Chadbourne, and many others. Bennink has also performed with the punk rock band the Ex, with whom he has done two tours of Ethiopia.

Designing my EUROPEAN TOUR in public this WEDNESDAY 26 at META MUSIC at 8 p.m.

2008-03-19T07:54:16Z

I"m doing an exploratory show this coming Wednesday, March 26th at META MUSIC (320 Cedar Street, Santa Cruz)
as a way of developing new material for my upcoming 10 week/10 country solo headlining found sound/live looping
tour that I leave for on May 1st.

I will also be on the bill with the Norwegian live looping guitarist Tellef Orgrim
and we will also play a short duet set at the end of the evening.

I will go on at 8 p.m. and play until 9.

Tellef will play for about 20 minutes (his decision) and then we will improvise at the
end of the evening.

I hope you guys can make it out. I have some really fun musical things in store for Wednesday.

META MUSIC is right around the corner from the Blue Lagoon at the corner of CEDAR STREET and BIRCH LANE

Booking a circus in SF

2008-03-17T23:53:44Z

Hey everyone,

I am part of a 10 person circus/music performance group called Criss Cross
Circus. We are based out of Hampshire College in western Massachusetts and this
summer we are planning a 4 week May-June tour from the east coast out to
Seattle in our veggie bus. One of our stops is San Francisco.

I was wondering if anyone had any information regarding venues that would be interested in booking a small circus show, or bands that would be interested in sharing a show (we do a lot of work with bands in western Mass, so we have a lot of experience with being general crowd winder-uppers and visual entertainment). We would be pretty adaptable but the place would need a semi-legit stage (not just a foot and a half thing in the corner of a bar).

Our website is: http://circusfolkunite.googlepages.com/crisscrosscircus

please contact me at jnf04@hampshire.edu if you have any information that would be at all useful.

thanks! --Juliana

free concert that you may enjoy:: THIS WEDNESDAY

2008-01-29T15:35:30Z

Tetuzi Akiyama (Japan) - acoustic guitar
Jozef van Wissem (Holland) - renaissance lute

YOU KNOW YOU WANNA GO TO A FREE CONCERT WITH A RENAISSANCE LUTE!!!

When: Wednesday, January 30 , 2008 at 8 pm

Where: A site-specific performance at
The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum
4011 Yupon at Branard, Houston, TX (map)

Tickets: The concert is free of charge

Nameless Sound and The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum, in cooperation with The Menil Collection, presents:
Tetuzi Akiyama (Japan) - acoustic guitar
Jozef van Wissem (Holland) - renaissance lute

An artist of starkly contrasting styles, Tetuzi Akiyama gained international recognition as a member of Tokyo's "onkyo" scene of improvisers in the late 1990s. A groundbreaking and highly influential group, the onkyo musicians are known for zen-like subtlety, quietness and a remarkable use of silence. Akiyama's music can have these qualities, but his connections to blues and folk have always been clear. His acoustic performances are delicate, beautiful and expressive, often sounding like an intersection between country blues and traditional Japanese music.

Jozef van Wissem probably plays the most unlikely instrument in the world of contemporary improvised music: the Renaissance lute. He has accomplished the strange feat of bridging the idiom of seventeenth century lute literature and twenty-first century free improvisation. Van Wissem has largely stayed faithful to the particular timbre, resonance and playing technique of the lute. Van Wissem first came to be noticed a few years ago because of his conceptual approach to Renaissance lute music: he deconstructed existing compositions, for instance, by playing them backwards. He also composed his own pieces for lute, using palindromes and mirrored structures. His music therefore does not have a traditional linear progression, nor does it lead to a climax; rather, it stays at the same level of intensity. His music is quiet. It doesn't so much demand concentrated listening, but it brings the listener into a state of concentrated listening—an aspect that makes Van Wissem a natural partner to Akiyama's zen-like blues.

The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum was opened in February 1997. Intimate in scale, the Chapel Museum is the repository in the United States for the only intact Byzantine frescoes in the entire western hemisphere. These masterworks from the 13th century—a dome and an apse—were stolen out of a chapel near Lysi in the Turkish occupied section of Cyprus in the 1980s, cut into pieces and smuggled off the island by thieves prepared to sell them piece by piece. The fresco fragments were rescued from the thieves by The Menil Foundation with the knowledge and approval of the Church of Cyprus, the rightful owner of the frescoes. The Menil Foundation then funded a painstaking two-year restoration of the paintings. Numerous private donors helped fund the construction of the Chapel Museum, which combines rough stone, opaque glass and rich woods to extraordinarily spiritual effect. The Church of Cyprus is allowing a long-term loan of the frescoes in the building designed especially for them by architect François de Menil.

Concert Announcement: Cooper-Moore Trio

2008-01-14T16:25:53Z

Cooper-Moore Trio:
Cooper-Moore - piano, hand-crafted instruments
Forbes Graham - trumpet, electronics
Nioka Workman - cello

Saturday, January 19, 2008
8pm
Barnevelder Movement/Arts Complex
2201 Preston, Houston TX

The work of Cooper-Moore is a testament to commitment, vision, spirit, compassion, and invention. Born and raised in the Piedmont Area of the Virginian Blue Ridge Mountains, Cooper-Moore played piano in churches as a child prodigy. In the early 1970's he moved to New York, and began his association with the fertile and revolutionary "loft scene" of underground jazz, collaborating with such musicians as David S. Ware, Marc Edwards, and William Parker. An accomplished composer and virtuosic piano player, Cooper-Moore quit public performance in 1981, depriving the creative music world of a unique and vital talent. He dedicated himself to youth, working intensively with a variety of communities. He has developed and implemented his own music curriculum; and has been sent around the country by Head Start to teach it to others. For the last 25 years, Cooper-Moore has assisted the disabled, the incarcerated, the at-risk, and the underserved; affecting them with his passion and understanding of personal and community progress through creative work.

In the early 90's, Cooper-Moore returned to public performance and was discovered by a new generation of fans. His unique talents were a revelation. He is a renaissance man, whose performances encompass honest and insightful storytelling, wide-ranging explorations on hand-made instruments, and intensely virtuosic piano playing. Cooper-Moore is the quintessential "unsung hero". He is an artist who understands the urgent need for unique voices. He delivers on his commitments, both in the community and on the stage.

Experimental Zithers Tribe formed

2007-11-01T08:52:23Z

http://tribes.tribe.net/weirdzithers

I have been playing with a lot of zither experiments that are out of the norm lately.
I had a custom MAXAPHONE and a custom BOWED PSALTERY made for me
and I've been doing experiments with really cheap childrens' toy zithers: preparing
them, processing them, putting them into weird found tunings and different ethnic tunings:
using contact microphones on them and processing them and looping them in weird ways.

Today, in the Weird Kalimba tribe one the artists who is most inspiring to me, Robert Collier
posted pictures of a kalimba/zither that he invented and built and it suddenly occured to me that
there are at least two of us out in the world who find experiments with these simplest of string
instruments fascinating.

So I started googling 'Weird Zithers' 'Strange Zithers' 'Unusual Zithers'
'Experimental Zither's' and discovered there
is an amazing world of people who step out of the box in their music and their inventions.

And I started the WEIRD ZITHERS tribe.

I doubt there will be a lot of members or even a ton of traffic, but it would be cool to turn each other
onto cool things that are out in the world that we have never heard of.

Come join us.

yours, Rick Walker

Barpieces: Computer Music Inventions by Charles Engstrom (New Orleans) & Christopher Fleeger (SF)

2007-06-05T22:54:55Z

Thursday, June 7th, 8pm @ The Luggage Store, 1007 Market St @ 6th, San Francisco, CA 94103 .... $6-10
Barpieces: Computer Music Inventions by Charles Engstrom (New Orleans) & Christopher Fleeger (SF)

(a piece is a note is a piece-- elephants all the way down)

Theory runs thick in computer music. Come to think of it, a brisk commerce in signal is a symptom of noisy neighborhoods in general. This is understandable enough. How many other reasonably honest choices are there when confronted with an experience shortage? The whole computing machine dance up until now has been so short-- like a baby accumulating half-truths. Well, if the commonweal's experience-cupboard is bare, then fill it. Should be a perfect playground for fools.

Our doing this surely must have been kicked along both by the dissatisfaction with sleepwalking and by some growing appreciation of the edge as panacea. But our simplest and least obscure motive has probably been curiosity about how musical performance works when it is done on computing machines. When the timbre space goes infinite and has a memory, how do you go about assembling a meaningful piece of time for some particular group of people at some particular place?

The relative scarcity of cliche (both social and musical) in computer music creates this situation where a framework for listening somehow needs to be generated at the same time as it is filled with sound-- context and content made more or less simultaneously. There is this beautiful similarity to the historical interplay between worldly conundrums and abstract mathematics. It has been more than interesting to notice that this interplay turns out to be sampling in disguise.

The ambit of all this is really the same one music has always had: to set up a situation where the air shakes in a certain way and begins to give off inevitability outside of human language.

We use a couple of powerbooks, some controllers, a black box or two, an amplifier and some speakers.

Loud? No, it's not all that loud.

Robert Rich live recordings released...

2007-04-10T19:04:49Z

Fake Science announces the release of three live recordings by ambient music pioneer Robert Rich. Two concerts in San Francisco (at Morrison Planetarium and Fort Mason) comprise over three hours of live material. These recordings have only ever been heard on the Dub Beautiful Radio internet stream, but now are available for digital download for the first time ever. These are the first live recordings released by Rich since 2001.

http://us1.fakescience.com/music/robertrich/index.php

Robert Rich has a bold entry in the history of experimental ambient music. His recording career began in the early 1980's and spans over 25 albums and continues today. He is credited with co-creating the subgenres Dark Ambient and Tribal Ambient. Each recording displays intricate notes from his wide musical repertoire and include performances on processed steel guitar, bansuri, and his own custom built MOTM module synthesizer.

Live at Morrison Planetarium is a 90 minute set. Live at Fort Mason is comprised of two sub-60 minute sets, and begins with a 12 minute improvised piano solo - the likes of which has never been recorded or released.

Each set costs $5.00 for 320k mp3 digital download (no DRM).

Lawrence D. “Butch” Morris – in San Francisco Monday 2/05/07

2007-02-04T18:22:20Z

On Monday February 5 @ 7PM
Lawrence D. “Butch” Morris – Understanding Conduction
(The gray area between notation and improvisation)

San Francisco Performing Arts Library & Museum
415-255-4800 ticket reservation line
or click Tickets: http://www.sfpalm.org/events/individual%20events/IMPROV21.htm

Morris will talk with you and host Derk Richardson about his career and conduction, demonstrating his methods in live performance.

Featuring an ensemble of Bay Area string players:
Damon Smith and George Cremaschi: basses
Jonathan Segel and Hillary Overberg: violins
Dina MacCabee and Tara Flandreau: violas
Theresa Wong and Jess Ivry: cellos

Awarded the 2006 Herb Alpert Foundation Award for music, Lawrence D. “Butch” Morris is recognized internationally as the principal theorist and practitioner in the evolution of CONDUCTION. Mr. Morris first considered the possibility and nature of Conduction in 1971 and has utilized its promise to explore new possibilities in the marriage of improvisation and composition for over 30 years.

Conduction (conducted interpretation/improvisation) is a vocabulary of ideographic signs and gestures activated to modify or construct a real-time musical arrangement or composition. Each sign and gesture transmits generative information for interpretation, and provides instantaneous possibilities for altering or initiating harmony, melody, rhythm, articulation, phrasing or form.

For more on Lawrence Butch Morris: www.conduction.us

Improv:21 programs explore the art and practice of improvisation through a shifting (i.e. “improvised”) combination of onstage dialogue, musical demonstration and performance, and audience question-and-answer forum. Reasonably priced and easily accessible, these two-hour events are designed to inform, inspire, challenge, and enlighten a wide-ranging audience, from professional and amateur musicians to listeners of all backgrounds and levels of understanding.

This and all future Improv:21 events are co-sponsored by SFPALM in association with Other Minds.

All Improv:21 informances are at 7:00 pm and take place at:
San Francisco Performing Arts Library & Museum (SFPALM)

Who is Mindless self indulgance ~ Little Jimmy Urine - Vocals

2007-01-26T08:02:10Z

Little Jimmy Urine - Vocals
Intentionally iconoclastic, lead singer James Euringer (who uses the stage name Jimmy Urine) often appears onstage at concerts wearing fishnet shirts, shorts or pants with the inside cut out (with the result looking similar to a skirt), and neon stockings. Euringer's outfits and antics are often the focal point of live shows. [2]
Another significant influence to the band is early 1980s culture[3]. MSI's music frequently contains samples of early '80s hip-hop or rock, as well as Atari-style beeps and tones[4]. Many of Urine's dress styles consist of juxtapositions of popular 1980s clothing or bastardizations thereof.
Mindless Self Indulgence is distinct from mainstream rock in their incorporation of lyrics about being gay, and related topics, into several of their songs - even going so far as to title one of their songs "Faggot." Also, Euringer and guitarist Steve, Righ? possess and use wide vocal ranges, stretching from tenor to high falsetto[5]. The band also has no qualms about using words deemed offensive by the mainstream, such as nigger and faggot, heavily in many of their songs. No topic is too offensive or sensitive not to be ridiculed[6]. Suicide (Backmask[7]), Paedophilia (Panty Shot), and masturbation (Masturbates) are just a few of the topics lampooned by the band.
They have opened for a number of popular modern bands including System of a Down, Korn, Sum 41, Mushroomhead, Insane Clown Posse, and Rammstein, as well as having now-popular bands open for them on headlining tours, such as My Chemical Romance, Deadsy, and Kill Hannah. They have also played many large musical festivals including Voodoo Music Experience in 2003 and 2005, as well as headlining the Mojave tent at the 2004 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. [8]
[edit]Members

Little Jimmy Urine - Vocals
Steve, Righ? - Guitar

New Albion Records album release - Erdem Helvacioglu

2007-01-15T16:20:56Z

Dear Friends,

I am happy to announce that my new solo album has been released by the US label "New Albion"!

Here is the link about the album at New Albion's web site : www.newalbion.com/NA131

This is an album of "solo acoustic guitar and live electronics". The whole album was recorded in real-time without any overdubs. I played the acoustic guitar and controlled the live electronics at the same time.

During the making of this album, Ovation Custom Legend 1869 acoustic guitar, TC Electronic Fireworx multi effects processor, Behringer FCB1010 midi foot controller and the software Audiomulch were used.

If you are interested in acoustic guitar, minimal ambient - electroacoustic music and the use of live electronics, feel free to check out the album!

Thank you very much and best regards. Looking forward to your comments!

live dark experimental noise (and found sound/extended vocal techniques) show in San Jose this Saturday

2007-01-10T02:15:12Z

By the way, I"m going to be doing an experimental show utilizing gongs, found objects and extended vocal
techniques at the Anno Domini Gallery in San Jose (366 South First Street between San Salvador and San Carlos)
this coming Saturday night with a creative touring group from Porltand, yourdrugsmymoney.
We will be doing a collaborative set at the end of the night and there is talk of putting this out on yourdrugsmymoneys' record label if it comes out well.

Because I've been so into Power Noize, Noise and Industrial/EBMish stuff lately, my performance will reflect a lot of that
sensibility.

I'm so excited, I just purchase a Feedback eliminator which will allow me to use very heavy distortion with vocals and found objects
without having all the uncontrollable feedback problems that occur with live microphones.

I'll also be projecting my new lo fi, toy digital video animations that I"ve been making at the show.
Come on out to an unusual creative show in the South Bay if you don't have anything to do.

It's 5 bucks at the door (8 p.m. start) and noone will be turned away for lack of funds.

East Bay Warehouse Movie Night

2006-11-13T00:59:01Z

Hi friends!
I have been hosting Movie Nights every other week and I want to let people in this Tribe to know about this.

I live in a warehouse in Oakland, and luckily we have a large wall where I project movies. Past films include; Shuji Terayama's "Pastoral: To Die in Country", Alejandro Jodorowsky's "El Topo", Lotte Reiniger's "The Adventures of Prince Achmed", Ken Russell's "Salome's Last Dance", Guy Maddin's "Cowards Bend The Knee" and "Heart of the World", Jan Svankmajer's "Little Otik", David Cronenberg's "Videodrome", Shinya Tsukamoto's "Tetsuo: The Iron Man", Trey Parker's "Cannibal: The Musical", and Vera Chytilová's "Daisies". Also we had two short film nights, which featured surreal/avant-gard films by Luis Bunuel, Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, René Clair, Fernand Léger, Germain Dulac, Maya Deren, David Lynch, Kenneth Anger, Svankmajer, Maddin and The Brothers Quay.

Also, we viewed silent experimental films such as Samuel Beckett's "Film", Norman McLaren's "A Phantasy", Stan Brakage's "Dog Star Man, Part 4", and my own "Black Cat". I got my musician friends together and played live experimental free music to accompany the films. I'm hoping to do this again soon.

If you are interested in similar movies like these, you are welcome to join us for popcorn and beer. Send me a message for more detail.

Omnimotion- Dream Wide Awake (Aleph Zero)- out now!

2006-10-30T09:37:00Z

Omnimotion- Dream Wide Awake (AlephZ06)

Aleph Zero is proud to present... A New Omnimotion Album!!!

After four years of recording, producing and composing new music in his Ambium Studio based in Stockholm, Sweden, Omnimotion is finally back with a second album. Utilizing inspirations and knowledge he picked up along his very diverse musical path, Stefan has created Dream Wide Awake. The album contains the best musical gems that were carefully chosen from the music that accumulated in this four year period. It is a beautifully mellow yet optimistic album, with a strong acoustic presence. Dream Wide Awake is an incredibly diverse album. It features eight different vocalists- from a rapper to an opera singer- and many guest musicians with an array of instruments including the violin, accordion, guitar, drums, harp & flute. The outcome hovers between the electronic and the acoustic, the hypnotic and the melodic, between abstract ambient and mellow songs, between dubby songs and IDM glitches. Omnimotion weaves and paints here an emotional musical journey that must not be missed and will leave you dreaming wide awake.

Track list:
1. Nothingness
2. Being
3. Days of Silence (feat. Aleah)
4. Wide Awake (feat. Krister Linder)
5. Une Autre Vie
6. Elves of Athoria
7. Cozy Life
8. Dubber
9. Japan
10. Purple Sky (feat. Adam Perski)
11. Electronic Love
12. Open My Heart
13. Ton Image

Experiemental Music in the East Bay

2006-09-10T01:19:50Z

Just a question.

Who'd be up for a freeform periodic salon for artists and rubberneckers? I'm moving into a bigger place (from my closet) and I wanna have peeps over for an electronic orgy of sorts. Do you play/produce/engeneer glitch, IDM, 8-Bit, dnb, electro, hardcore, softcore, microSound, minimal, ambient, foundSound, melodic, etc... Just anything that dosen't seem to have a scene in the East Bay. I know SF can represent, but that's a bridge away.

Some structure like the following for each artist:

5 min Greeting/Intro (Who, where, how, why...)
30 min play (put up or shut up)
10 minutes Q&A (audience participation)

It all depends on who wants to participate. Do you want to participate?
