SUMMARY:Romanian Spectralism: Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Bowerbird is pleased to welcome Iancu Dumitrescu and Ana-Maria Avram to Philadelphia for an intimate\, two concert portrait of “Romanian Spectralism”. The first evening focuses on smaller chamber works – duos and trios – and the second evening features large ensemble works. The concerts will take place at the studio of Hi5 Recording in the Maas Building. \n  \nTHE PROGRAM \nAna-Maria AVRAM: “Metalstorm (epsylon)” for e-guitar ensemble and computer sounds\nAna-Maria AVRAM: “Axis (XI for solo doublebass” (Zachary Rowden) ( w.p.)\nIancu Dumitrescu: “Le Silence d’Or for instruments and computer sounds” ( Philly version) ( w.p.)\nIancu Dumitrescu: “”Intuitive Music (I-II-III)” for ensemble and live electronics \n  \nABOUT THE COMPOSERS \nIancu Dumitrescu stands at the forefront of one of the 20th century’s most invisible avant-gardes: the spectral composers of Romania. Operating on the margins of a regime committed to Socialist Realism\, his microscopic explorations of acoustics draw on both Western techniques and local traditions: the folk music research of Bela Bartok\, Eastern Orthodox chant\, and Byzantine mysticism. The resulting compositions break apart sonic conventions. They reflect\, in Dumitrescu’s words\, “the attempt to release or unveil the god that is living in every piece of base matter.” \nBorn in Bucharest\, Romania in 1961\, composer Ana-Maria Avram’s propulsive music often synthesizes electroacoustic and instrumental sources. While informed by mathematical techniques\, Avram is drawn to the dynamic nature of sound as independently shaped by each performer and listener. “Even if something is written\, what is this\, there on the score?” she asks. “A base from which to fly away.”

SUMMARY:Ecstatic & Wingless: Bird-Imitation on Four Continents with Ian Nagoski
DESCRIPTION:Ecstatic & Wingless is an audio documentary project on early 20th century birdsong and its direct relationship on human performance – and human action on birdsong. It tells the story not only of the first recordings of cagebirds but also the practice of bird-imitation\, a field that produced amazing and eccentric celebrities during the 1910s-20s. Rarely heard in recent years\, bird imitation was also recorded commercially on every continent by 1925 and possibly predates music or language in human history. \nMusic researcher Ian Nagoski has previously explored the porous boundaries of culture through 78rpm records of immigrants from collapsing European and Near Eastern empires as they arrived in the U.S. in early 20th century\, and in the process\, learned the stories of great\, forgotten performers. With Ecstatic & Wingless\, he has opened his exploration to the world of vaudevillians and bird-fanciers\, of canaries\, nightingales\, finches\, and the people who studied them\, poeticized them\, and tried to be them.

SUMMARY:No Idea But In Things: a Film about Alvin Lucier
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE EVENT \n“Don’t ask me what I mean\, ask me what I’ve made.” Inspired by this motto\, this documentary accompanies the American composer Alvin Lucier (*1931) on concert travels to The Hague (Netherlands) and Zug (Switzerland). The filmmakers invite Lucier to explain and comment on his works: from his early live electronics performances (“Music for Solo Performer” (1965)\, and “Bird and Person Dyning” (1975)) – up to the premiere of his ensemble piece “Panorama 2” in 2011. One of Lucier’s key works\, “I Am Sitting in a Room” (1969)\, is introduced as a central structuring device in the film. \nFilmed at his home in Middletown\, Connecticut\, Lucier offers rare insights into the beginnings of his pioneering works\, his time as a member of the Sonic Arts Union\, his relations with John Cage and David Tudor\, as well as his teaching practice at Wesleyan University. \nNO IDEAS BUT IN THINGS – this line by the American poet William Carlos Williams is one of Lucier’s favorite quotes when he is asked about his artistic attitude. It also reflects the filmmakers’ intention to create a portrait of Lucier that is primarily based on his work.

SUMMARY:In Search Of Eastman
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE EVENT \nIn the years following his death\, with few recordings and many scores presumed lost forever\, the memory of Eastman’s legacy started to slip away. It wasn’t until recently\, when composer Mary Jane Leech began searching for Eastman’s work\, did interest (and information) begin to reemerge. Now\, thanks to the work of biographer Renee Levine Packer\, scholars Ryan Dohoney and Kyle Gann\, and artist Jace Clayton\, Eastman’s work is ripe for investigation and exploration. \n  \nPROGRAM \n– Ryan Dohoney presents: “Julius Eastman\, The Brooklyn Community Concerts\, and the Black Radical Tradition”\n– Jace Clayton discusses his Julius Eastman Memorial Dinner\n– Panel discussion with Mary Jane Leech\, Tracie Morris\, and Kyle Gann; moderated by Tiona McClodden \n  \nABOUT EASTMAN \nJulius Eastman was born in New York City in 1940 and spent his youth in Ithaca\, NY. Eastman studied piano and composition at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia\, graduating in 1963. Eastman moved to Buffalo\, eventually joining the Creative Associates (1968 – 1975)\, a prestigious new music center noted for its leadership under Morton Feldman. Eastman was a highly regarded performer and was especially note for his performances of Peter Maxwell Davies’ “Eight Songs for a Mad King”. His recording of the work was nominated for a Grammy in 1973. In 1975\, he moved to New York City\, where he continued to compose and perform regularly. A series of misfortunes and personal struggles left Eastman homeless in the mid 1980s\, with much of his music confiscated when he was evicted from his home. Eastman died in Buffalo in 1990 at age 49. \nThis event is part of “Julius Eastman: That Which Is Fundamental” \n  \nSupport for the research and development of this project has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. Additional support has been provided by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts\, Slought Foundation and The Rotunda. Pianos have been provided by Cunningham Piano Company.

SUMMARY:Julius Eastman's █████ ██████
DESCRIPTION:Julius Eastman’s █████ ██████\nfor 4 grand pianos \nperformed by performed by Joseph Kubera\, Adam Tendler\, Michelle A. Cann\, and Dynasty Battles \nand a special performance by sound artists Tracie Morris. \n  \nABOUT THE EVENT \nPulsating textures\, unyielding and relentless\, Eastman’s compositions for multiple pianos are in a world all their own. Joseph Kubera\, who performed the work with Eastman in 1980\, will lead this rare performance. Beginning the concert will be a recording of Eastman describing his intentionally provocative titles\, discussing his aim to reclaim derogatory language. Sound artist and poet Tracie Morris will provide a reflection on Eastman’s work\, re-contextualizing it for our current times. \n  \nABOUT EASTMAN \nJulius Eastman was born in New York City in 1940 and spent his youth in Ithaca\, NY. Eastman studied piano and composition at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia\, graduating in 1963. Eastman moved to Buffalo\, eventually joining the Creative Associates (1968 – 1975)\, a prestigious new music center noted for its leadership under Morton Feldman.

Eastman died in Buffalo in 1990 at age 49. \n  \nABOUT █████ ██████ \nIn 1980\, while a composer in residence at Northwestern University\, the title of Eastman’s works were censored – stricken from programs and concert advertisements. █████ ██████ is an avatar representing this censorship. Mirroring the flat\, black pen strokes of a redacted text\, ██████ reminds us of the dehumanizing effect of silencing voices\, the power of language\, and the importance of artistic expression to engage with challenging topics. Ultimately\, we ask – “Who is this type of censorship for?”

SUMMARY:Alash Ensemble Returns!
DESCRIPTION:ALASH are masters of Tuvan throat singing\, a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. Masters of traditional Tuvan instruments as well as the art of throat singing\, Alash are deeply committed to traditional Tuvan music and culture. At the same time\, they are fans of western music. Believing that traditional music must constantly evolve\, the musicians subtly infuse their songs with western elements\, creating their own unique style that is fresh and new\, yet true to their Tuvan musical heritage. What does throat singing sound like? “Imagine a human bagpipe-a person who could sing a sustained low note while humming an eerie\, whistle-like melody. For good measure\, toss in a thrumming rhythm similar to that of a jaw harp\, but produced vocally-by the same person\, at the same time.” -Newsweek (March 17\, 2006) Where is Tuva? Tuva (sometimes spelled Tyva) sits at the southern edge of Siberia\, with Mongolia to its south. Over the centuries\, Tuva has been part of Chinese and Mongolian empires\, and shares many cultural ties with Mongolia. In 1944 it became part of the USSR\, and until the late physicist Richard Feynman drew attention to it\, was largely unknown to westerners. Tuva is now a member of the Russian Federation.

SUMMARY:DDMS: Joo Won Park\, Myrrias
DESCRIPTION:The Double Decker Music series is a unique\, intimate mobile concert experience on an open-top double-decker bus. Each evening features live music performances in an urban setting paired with a guided tour of Philadelphia’s attractions. \nThe Double Decker Music Series is hosted by Sebastian Petsu\, a Philadelphia tour guide on buses and on foot since 2005 His love of both Philadelphia’s music and history inspired him to combine the two in a unique way.\nhttp://www.sebastianpetsu.com/ \n  \nABOUT THE EVENT \nBowerbird and Sebastian Petsu are pleased to welcome Joo Won Park and Myrrias to the Double Decker Music Series. Join us on Sunday\, September 20th at 8:00 p.m. (rain date\, September 21st) for a unique and intimate mobile concert experience on an open-top double-decker bus. Before\, between\, and after the music\, tour guide Sebastian Darkly Petsu will share dry wit and history about the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection. \n  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nJoo Won Park wants to make everyday sound beautiful and strange so that everyday becomes beautiful and strange. He performs live with toys\, consumer electronics\, kitchenware\, vegetables\, and other non-musical objects by digitally processing their sounds. He also makes pieces with field recordings\, sine waves\, and any other sources that he can record or synthesize. Joo Won draws inspirations from Florida swamps\, Philadelphia skyscrapers\, his two sons\, and other soundscapes surrounding him. He has studied at Berklee College of Music and the University of Florida\, and currently serves as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Computer Music at the Oberlin Conservatory. Joo Won’s music and writings are available on ICMC DVD\, Spectrum Press\, MIT Press\, and PARMA Recording. http://joowonpark.net/ \n  \nMyrrias patiently build layers of intertwined rhythms and melodies.The band formed when Mikele Edwards (of Arc in Round) sought like-minded musicians for a new project. Coming from sonically divergent bands\, each musician nonetheless had to be a perfect fit for the whole. April Harkansan (Downtown Club) generates a wash of warm\, delayed guitar over Edwards’ honeyed but never saccharine synth landscapes. Combined\, the band forms a collage of synth-driven dream-pop and the somber\, cinematic side of the 60s avant-garde. Usually performing as a quartet with drummer Casey Bell’s (Break It Up) and bassist Emily Robb (Lantern)\, this bus performance will be a special duo set.http://myrrias.bandcamp.com/ \n  \nEVENT DETAILS \nBoarding begins at 7:45pm at the northeast corner of 5th and Market Streets by the Wells Fargo building. \nTHE BUS LEAVES AT 8PM SHARP. It’s a mobile event\, so you can’t show up late or the venue will be gone! The event finishes up back where we started at 10pm. \nAs an incentive to show up on time\, our sponsor Little Baby’s Ice Cream\, will be providing FREE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES for the first 15 guest on board. So get there early! \nThis event is 21+ and BYOB (but please\, no glass\, and remember there is no restroom on the bus). \n$25 per person. Advance tickets only. There will be no walk-up sales. Only 35 seats are available and this event will sell out. (All previous Double Decker Music Series events have!) So please\, don’t sleep on it.\nhttp://bowerbird.ticketleap.com/ddms8/ \nIf it looks like rain\, the event will be held the following day\, Monday June 1st at 8pm. A message will be sent out by 5pm on the day of the event letting ticket-holders know about the rescheduling.

His music is entirely improvisational\, produced solely on a vintage Buchla Music Easel synthesizer\, a rare analog instrument designed in the early 1970s. Cohen has been playing his self-described “beeps and boops” since he first acquired a Buchla Music Easel in 1976\, one of only 25 ever produced\, and remains committed to exploring its unique qualities. He has studied with musical mavericks such as accordionist and electronic composer Pauline Oliveros and jazz pianist Cecil Taylor\, and is dedicated to the art of abstract improvisation\, seeking out collaborations with fellow musicians who share his love of spontaneous creation during live performance. Cohen has performed regularly in Philadelphia for nearly four decades. www.facebook.com/CBEEPSANDBOOPS \nDiamond Blazer (aka Rosie Langabeer) – Imagine a bi-polar crackpot old lady inventor’s underground laboratory\, on a tiny lush island\, where flying bugs have jet engines with rainbow exhaust fumes and cocker spaniel puppies bark daisies. It’s a jam with a micro korg\, a mini korg\, an sp404sx\, a mic\, a uke and a magnapooter (c/o Neil Feather). This will be the third experiment in performance with these parameters.

Rooted in American and British folk\, Weyes Blood pulls and stretches the style at its fringes\, like a sweater that’s just begun to unravel. Traditional instruments (guitar\, piano\, drums) are set against electronics and tape effects\, collages and the melodic qualities of delay that bridge an older world of songcraft into the future\, creating a synthesis between all the best of the 20th century and those that came before.https://weyesblood.bandcamp.com/ \n  \nA native of Plovdiv\, Bulgaria\, Petia Z. has grown up surrounded by the arts and folklore of her pretty-city. Her second home-town -Philly\, continues to nurture those roots as she’s been extremely lucky to connect with groups like Svitanya (an American-Eastern European women’s vocal ensemble) and Philly’s own Balkan Monster – the West Philadelphia Orchestra. She is fascinated and inspired by visual and rhythmic colors; by everything that crosses her path and awakens her senses. Her eyes and ears are always open and searching for the unusual and extraordinary.She’s looking forward to taking the Double-Decker audience on a little musical tour of Eastern Europe with her vocals and accordion. http://youtu.be/64tYocskOtY \n  \nEVENT DETAILS \nBoarding begins at 7:45pm at the northeast corner of 5th and Market Streets by the Wells Fargo building. \nTHE BUS LEAVES AT 8PM SHARP.

SUMMARY:BERNHARD GAL / JESSE KUDLER / SCOTT ALLISON / PHILL SHELDON
DESCRIPTION:The Austrian artist\, composer and musicologist Bernhard Gal has become\ninternationally known as one of the most prolific sound artists of a\nyounger generation. During the past ten years Gal has created around\n50 sound installations and media art projects\, combining sound\, light\,\nobjects\, spatial concepts and video projections into intense and often\nsite-specific interdisciplinary art works. He also composes music for\nacoustic instruments and electro-acoustic music\, as well as performing\nlive as a (laptop) musician. \nBorn in Vienna\, Austria in 1971\, Gal began to nurture his interest in\nmusic and (sound) art around 1985. After studies at Vienna’s\nUniversity of Music (Sound Engineering) and the University of Vienna\n(Musicology)\, and a year-long residency in New York City in 1997ñ98\,\nhe has focused on his compositional and artistic activities.

Currently\, Gal lives as a\nfreelance composer and artist in Vienna and Berlin where he also\nteaches sound art at the University of Arts. \nAn important aspect of his work is the combination of music with other\nart forms\, in solo projects as well as in collaborations\, e.g. since\n1997 with the Japanese architect Yumi Kori (‘audio-architectural\ninstallations’). As a (laptop) musician\, Gal performs in solo concerts\nand has worked together with musicians such as Tung Chao-Ming\, Kai\nFagaschinski and Jennifer Walshe. \nGal’s work has been presented in concerts\, sound installations\,\nexhibitions\, and radio portraits in Europe\, Asia\, and the Americas and\nperformed by ensembles worldwide. He has been invited to numerous\ninternational music and art festivals (including Wien Modern Vienna;\nICMC Berlin; MaerzMusik Berlin; Nuova Consonanza Rome; MATA Festival\nNew York; Soundfield Chicago; Mutek Montreal) and frequently gives\nlectures and workshops. \nFor his music and art projects Gal has received numerous awards\,\nincluding the Karl Hofer Prize Berlin 2001\, an Annual Grant from\nSKE-Fonds Vienna 2002\, a composer fellowship from the DAAD Artists in\nBerlin Programme 2003\, and the Austrian State Scholarship for\nComposition 2004. Bernhard Gal’s music has been made available on more\nthan 25 audio publications.

SUMMARY:Keroaän + Bhob Rainey
DESCRIPTION:Bowerbird is excited to close out it’s 2014 – 2015 GATE season with this thrilling double bill of audio-visual spectaculars inspired by Iannis Xenakis’ “Polytopes”. The evening features a new electronic work by Bhob Rainey and a performance of Keroaän\, Ian M Fraser and Reed Evan Rosenberg’s laser\, strobe\, and sound performing Artificial Intelligence platform. \n  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nKEROAÄN is a collaborative research project between IAN M FRASER and REED EVAN ROSENBERG exploring composition of electronic music by an artificial intelligence. Pieces are diffused in real time with no human intervention whatsoever as the machine agent manipulates the qualities of chosen non-standard synthesis and microsound techniques. In live diffusions\, the machine agent additionally controls laser apertures and an array of strobe lighting which collectively act as a visual projection of the structure of its performance. A distinctly non-human logic pervades the resultant arrangements of chaotic sounds and high-intensity lighting\, presenting an immersive\, alien environment. \n  \nBhob Rainey (b. 1972)\, a soprano saxophonist and composer\, performs as a solo artist\, as one half of nmperign (an improvisational duo with trumpeter Greg Kelley)\, and as leader of the BSC\, an eight-member ensemble that uses both acoustic and electronic instruments. He formed the BSC to address the inherent challenge of performing longer works with multiple improvisational artists. After 18 years spent living in Boston\, with stints in Chicago and New Orleans\, Rainey has returned to his hometown of Philadelphia. He holds an M.A. in jazz composition from the New England Conservatory of Music\, and his music has been supported with grants from Meet the Composer and United States Artists.
