His background playing rock and African music adds a potential for propulsive intensity to his playing not usually found in players so skilled in the arts of minimalist reductionism. Despite recovering from injuries that limited his time playing in recent years\, he is a highly in-demand player\, working with groups like Trokeneis\, Death in the Maze\, and Multiphonic Choir\, as well as frequent collaborations with Jack Wright. He is currently a member of the Red Room collective and High Zero Foundation. \nAlban Bailly acoustic guitar\, accordion France/Philadelphia\, USA \nAlban Bailly\, a native of France\, began his music path by playing rock his youth.

SUMMARY:TATSUYA NAKATANI | DAVE DOVE | JAWWAAD TAYLOR | GABE GLOBUS-HOENICH | PATTY FRANCESCHY | DAN CAPPECHI | ASHLEY DEEKUS | DAWN WEBSTER
DESCRIPTION:Although civilization’s oldest instruments were percussion\, the full investigation of its potential as generators of non-rhythmic textures is a more recent phenomenon. The Japanese-born and Pennsylvania-resident Tatsuya Nakatani\, among today’s most exciting performers\, has distinguished himself as a constant leader in innovative approaches to percussion. Often surrounded by a battery of gongs\, cymbals\, bells\, and singing bowls\, Nakatani commands a universe of sounds with both athletic poise and painterly delicacy. For this performance\, Nakatani will be joined by two Houston-based musicians: \nDavid Dove and Jawwaad Taylor\, both making their first ever Bowerbird appearances. David Dove’s trombone improvisations can be described as the sound of lips\, breath\, voice\, and tongue\, amplified through a brass tube. He is the director of Nameless Sound (formerly the Deep Listening Institute Houston)\, a ground-breaking non-profit program that teaches improvised music and listening skills to youth. It was at Nameless Sound where Jawwaad Taylor\, a former student of Dove’s\, first began to formally develop his childhood interest in the spontaneity of free improvisation. Taylor\, also an active hip-hop artist\, uses trumpet\, voice\, and electronics when performing in a free improv setting. \n

SUMMARY:JEFFREY ALLPORT / GREG REYNOLDS / BONNIE JONES / TANDEM ELECTRICS / TIM ALBRO / BLACKBIRD
DESCRIPTION:JEFFERY ALLPORT percussion\nGREG REYNOLDS saxophone\nBONNIE JONES circuit bending\nVancover – NYC – Baltimore \nGregory Reynolds is a musician whose drive to investigate and explore the dynamics of modern sound making has shaped his unique identity as a performer\, composer\, listener\, and thinker. At the root of his practice is an attempt to present a personal vocabulary of sound events and spaces that challenge and re-orient the listener by emphasizing a relationship to acoustic phenomena outside the usual context of ‘historical’ listening particular to well worn tropes and styles. He endeavors to facilitate an experience of heightened sensitivity and awareness of physical\, architectural\, and spiritual qualities by leaving room to engage each listener in a unique dialogue. His unlikely main vehicle in these pursuits has been the alto saxophone\, on which for many years he has been developing a variety of acoustic extended techniques drawing from such influences as water\, white noise\, cd skips\, and the complex drones of industrial and domestic machinery. Currently he is working on a variety of different projects\, many which find him working with new musicians\, dancers\, environments\, and sound making devices. \nBonnie Jones works with sound\, text and performance. Born in 1977 in South Korea she was raised by dairy farmers in New Jersey\, and currently resides in Baltimore\, MD. In sound performances Bonnie plays the circuit boards of digital delay pedals. Her primary sound collaborators are Joe Foster in Korea (as the duet “English”) and Andy Hayleck. She is also a member of the Performance Thanatology Research Society\, a inter-discipinary performance group dedicated to the advancement of a higher histrionics brought on by imminent finalities. Bonnie has performed at the Kim Dae Hwan Museum\, the Ontological-Hysteric Theater\, the ErstQuake Festival\, and the 14 Karat Cabaret. \nVancouver-based percussionist Jeffrey Allport approaches the physical nature of his chosen instrument through a variety of preparations and implements to liberate a unique palette of sounds. Respecting each\ncarefully extracted tone\, thump and scrape in addition to the silence from which they are borne\, his exploratory improvisations inhabit minute sound worlds\, eschewing the grand gesture. In addition to solo work\, Allport has enjoyed a lengthy collaboration with Tim Olive\, releasing three CDís since 1998. They have also toured in Canada\, the US\, Western Europe and Japan. Summer 2007 saw the LP release of his duo with Tetuzi Akiyama\, recorded during a small tour of the Northwest in the summer of 2006. Frequently participating in once-only groupings has led him to performing and recording with a wide variety of improvisers from around the world including Annette Krebs\, Nate Wooley\, Gust Burns\, Andrea Neumann\, and Keith Rowe. \nTANDEM ELECTRICS\nRichard Kamerman amplified laptop circuits\nReed Evan Rosenber programming\nNew York City \nRichard Kamerman is a composer\, sound designer\, and improvisational musician from NYC. Although\,\nessentially a percussionist\, he rarely performs behind a drum kit\, preferring to explore the percussive\nbehaviors of repurposed electronics (often a system of found mechanical parts – fans\, motors\, etc – in this\ncontext\, a computer). His music has been released internationally and his compositions performed by\nmembers of the SEM Ensemble and New York Soundpainting Orchestra. \nTANDEM ELECTRICS\nRichard Kamerman amplified laptop circuits\nReed Evan Rosenber programming\nNew York City \nReed Evan Rosenberg is a Brooklyn based musician and programmer. In both improvised and not improvised performances he often utilizes programs that he creates in the Max/MSP environment in combination with contact microphones and electronics. He creates grinding Mego-inspired digital noise under the alias Wet Fur. Reed curates shows at the Baghdad space in Brooklyn and co-runs the rar label. \nAs severe and jarring as it is tense and brooding\, Tandem Electrics is an improvised experiment in bridging the gap between Noise and the nebulous area of music called EAI. Rough electronic splatter\, complex drones\, and the ugly sound of modern technology that we aren’t supposed to hear. \nTIM ALBRO guitar / electronics\nPhiladelphia\, PA \nBorn in Worcester\, MA in 1980\, currently based in Philadelphia\, Tim Albro received a BA in English at Wesleyan University. Since arriving in Philadelphia from Wesleyan\, he has done ethnographic work on gospel music in West Philly\, composed music for a dance ensemble\, as well as participate in the vibrant improvised/creative music community growing in Philadelphia. This work as an improvising/creative musician includes performing on the 12-string electric guitar /w electronics\, on the prepared guitar/electronics/radio in the duo HZL\, and solo work with home built radio transmitter kits. Current research interests include: Sun Ra\, Paolo Frere\, and Elizabeth Cotten. \nDAN BLACKSBERG trombone\nDUSTIN HURT trumpet\nPhiladelphia\, PA \nBrass\, and the sounds of. Imagine it. Regal and triumphant.  A trumpet and a trombone.  Now forget it. You won’t hear any of that from this duo. \nDan Blacksberg is a trombonist who is working to expand the range of the trombone in jazz and improvised music. A native and resident of Philadelphia\, he has been seen all around town with such local musicians as Jack Wright\, Toshi Makihara\, Sonic Liberation Front and with Bobby Zankel’s Warriors of the Wonderful Sound. He has appeared in concerts produced by Bowerbird and the Ars Nova Workshop. In addition\, Dan has performed with Anthony Braxton (the premiere of Composition 19 for 100 tubas)\, Taylor Ho Bynum\, Joe Morris\, Mike Pride\, Nate Wooley\, Katt Hernandez\, Daniel Levin and Joe Maneri in many venues in New York and Boston. \n

SUMMARY:CHRISTIAN KESTEN / ALESSANDRO BOSETTI / MIKE SZEKELY/JON BARRIOS/MATT ENGLE / CECILIA CORRIGAN
DESCRIPTION:Christian Kesten was born in 1966 and works as composer\, performance artist\, vocalist and stage director. He lives in Berlin\, Germany.His interest lies in thespace in-between: between music and theatre\, music and language\, between music and the visual arts. His pieces work with the space which opens up between the sound of language and the parallel\, non-illustrative action (-cycling 1990; des Kleinen bergewicht 1995; 45 seconds 2006). They make use of everyday spaces and their sounds\, including works made for train stations\, in which minimal sounds of winds and brass are spread over the station and mixed with sounds of trains and passers-by (nordbahnhof 1996\, bahnhof westend 1996\, bahnhof zoo 1997). welcome home is written for the squeaking doors of the Nordbahnhof station in Berlin and two violins which mirror the door sounds: the passers-by experience the music while on the move. In (o.T.) für klarinette in einem raum mit langem nachhall 1(1999) and 2(2000) [(without title) for clarinet in a space with a long reverberation time] the clarinet plays to its own reverberation as a second voice\, microtonally\, and thus refers to the presence of space. parochial (1998) – for the group „Maulwerker“ (4 female voices\, trumpet/voice\, clarinet/voice\, alto saxophone + additional instruments) – was written especially for the space of the Parochialkirche in Berlin: sculptural shaped sounds are moved in space\, while trumpet\, clarinet and sax move mostly outside the space and so extending acoustic perception beyond the walls of the church. \nRecently he developed the ;video audio field recording\, by recording field sounds with a video camera\, composing dense and light sound textures of field recordings and live instruments. The projected images are always fixed camera angles\, filming spaces in-between\, the incidental\, the mundane: the Los Angeles catalogue; dodger stadium; cypress park; urban cafe restroom (all 2007). Kesten studied at the University of Arts (UdK) Berlin (Music: guitar\, piano\, voice; counterpoint/twelvetone-technique with H.Fladt; musicological thesis on „Silence in the works of John Cage and Morton Feldman“; Experimental music and music-theatre with Dieter Schnebel | Performance Art | Projects with the stage design class of Achim Freyer) and TU Berlin (German literature and linguistics). 1989-91 he studied privately with Michael Vetter (overtone singing\, vocal improvisation\, calligraphy/notation etc.). Movement studies with various teachers (Amos Hetz a.o.). \nSince 1987\, he has been performing new vocal music and experimental music-theatre throughout Europe and in New York\, Rio de Janeiro\, Israel\, Moscow and Tokyo. He currently works with the ensemble Maulwerker and as soloist. In a long collaboration with Dieter Schnebel he premiered most of his music theatre works since 1987. He has recently worked with Alessandro Bosetti\, Jacques Demierre\, Chico Mello\, Makiko Nishikaze\, Iris ter Schiphorst\, who wrote solo works or operas for him. Kesten conceives and curates the series „maulwerker performing music (since 2005) in Berlin with programs like poems for feet pro cedere. Music as Process\, Situationen. Interpenetrations of art and life or Halts Maul. Screaming pieces from four decades\, with World Premieres by Antonia Baehr\, Alessandro Bosetti\, Bill Dietz\, Jürg Frey\, Robin Hayward\, David Helbich\, Michael Hirsch\, Sven-Åke Johansson\, Travis Just\, Christian Kesten\, Andrea Neumann\, Pauline Oliveros\, Dieter Schnebel\, Emmett Williams\, István Zelenka\, a.o. Since 2006\, he is co-curator of the experimental music concert series Labor Sonor at KULE Berlin. \nALESSANDRO BOSETTI\nvoice\, electronics\, saxopone\nBerlin / Milano / Baltimore \nAlessandro Bosetti\, composer and sound artist\, was born in Milan\, Italy in 1973. He works on the musicality of spoken words and unusual aspects of spoken communication and produced text-sound compositions featured in live performances\, radio broadcastings and published recordings. In his work he moves on the line between sound anthropology and composition often including translation and misunderstanding in the creative process. Field research and interviews often build the basis for his abstract compositions along with electro-acoustic and acoustic collages\, relational strategies\,trained and untrained instrumental practices\, vocal explorations and digital manipulations. Since he’s curious about differences he travels. Just in 2006 he’s been living and working in West Africa\, China\, Taiwan\, Holland\, Scandinavia\, United States \, Germany and Italy. For the future he plans to be living and working between Berlin (D)\, Milano (I) and Baltimore (USA). \nJon Barrios has performed with Toshi Makihara\, Dan Blacksberg\, Jack Wright\, Tatsuya Nakatani\, Anne West\, Dustin Hurt\, Alban Bailly\, Christine Shenoui\, Gerald Sloan\, John Dikeman\, Dan Scofield\, Jesse Kudler\, Marina Petersen\, Fabrizio Spera\, Raed Yassin\, and others. \nBarrios also founded the small label Lift Records\, which focused on limited edition short-run releases\nof curious projects. Other recent projects include Equis Equis Equis (with Bryan Rogers and Mike Szekely)\, trio music with Toshi Makihara and Jack Wright\, and the ongoing larger piece ìFantasy No. 1\,î a double bass and electronics project with a release due in June 2008. \nMatt Engle grew up ten minutes outside of Philadelphia in South Jersey. He now resides in Philadelphia where he is a working member of the music scene. Matt studied with Kevin McConnell and Tony Marino while attending The University of the Arts. He has an integral role in the longstanding improvisational outfit Shot x Shot\, as both a performer and composer. In addition to Shot x Shot\, Matt has played with\nTrio Rhizome (with Seth Meicht and Mike Szekely)\, the Seth Meicht Trio\, and Sonic Liberation Front. \nMike Szekely studied jazz at the Hartt School of Music\, led by saxophonist Jackie McLean. He has also studied percussion with drum master Milford Graves. Since 1993\, Michael has co-led various projects with saxophonist Allen Livermore (NYC)\, resulting in two recordings: Feet Musicís Assertions & sketches (Chroma Independent Media\, 1995) and the ALMS Trioís Advocates (Eighth Nerve Records\, 2005). Michael also co-founded Trio Rhizome (with Matt Engle and Seth Meicht) and\nhas worked with Dan Blacksberg\, Anthony Braxton\, Toshi Makihara\, Ed Mann\, Stephen Haynes\, Taylor Ho Bynum\, Jackson Moore\, and Matt Mitchell\, among others\, on various projects. \nCECILIA CORRIGANand guests\nvoice\, eletronics\nPhiladelphia\, PA \nCecilia Corrigan was born in Tokyo\, Japan and now grows old in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania. Her past musical projects have included Kikillia\, Robbers of the Soil\, and various other monikers for collaborations with Meg Frisch and Jim Strong\, among others. She is interested in sound as synchronous play and polemic. Recorded music can be heard at this internet location: \nhttp://myspace.com/slothropianstars

The members of the collective perform in various combinations of players in order to offer a kaleidoscope of instrumentations consistent with the philosophy of free improvisation. Stanley Schumacher founded the ensemble in 2003 to present performances in both acoustical and electroacoustical formats and to promote the diversity and spontaneity of contemporary art music. \nStanley Schumacher: A multi-faceted musical background informs the improvisations of trombonist and vocalist Stanley Schumacher. Stanley has performed with contemporary art music ensembles\, Dixieland jazz bands\, concert bands\, swing bands\, orchestras\, and blues and rock bands. In addition\, he composes contemporary art music. Most of his compositions are for small ensembles and combine pre-planned\, aleatory\, and improvised elements. A number of his works employ narrative texts\, which often exhibit a humorous theatrical element. This theatrical element may also be seen in his colorful improvised vocalizations. Stanley’s varied experience as a performer\, his strong background in jazz\, and his training and experience as a composer converge to produce a unique and disciplined performance. He regards free improvisation as instant composition and brings form and order to the unfolding piece. \nRosi Hertlein: Violinist and vocalist Rosi Hertlein’s musical background is divided equally between the worlds of improvised and composed contemporary classical music. She has collaborated with Kristen Norderval\, Monique Buzzarte\, Warren Smith\, David Arner\, and Newman T. Baker. She has recorded with Joe McPhee\, Ivo Perlman\, and Joe Giardullo\, and she records and performs with composer Pauline Oliveros New Circle Five. In June 2002 she premiered Cecil TaylorWith Blazing Eyes and Open Mouth with the Sound Vision Orchestra with Mr. Taylor on piano. She also performs with her band The Improvising Chamber Ensemble” (ICE) and with Stanley Schumacher and the Music Now Ensemble. \nEvan Lipson: Bassist Evan Lipson draws on his varied experience as a performer to create imaginative free improvisation. Evan has performed in a variety of alternative ensembles. His improvisation credentials include participation in the NoNet Festival and performing with Stuart Dempster\, Andy Hayleck\, Rosi Hertlein\, Matthias Kaul\, Lukas Ligeti\, Toshi Makihara\, Pauline Oliveros\, Stanley Schumacher\, Todd Whitman\, Nate Wooley\, Jack Wright\, and many others. Evan has received both the American Composers Forum SUBITO grant and Meet the Composer’s Creative Connections grant. He studied string bass with Michael Formanek and Robert Kesselman and attended Peabody Conservatory and Temple University. \nProfessor Musikmacher: A long-time associate of the State Mental Hospital in Allentown\, Pennsylvania\, Professor Musikmacher performs exclusively with Stanley Schumacher and the Music Now Ensemble\, which provides a platform for his instructive lectures. He was educated in Berlin at the Moravian Academy and at the St. Ursula School for Delinquent Girls where he completed his theoretical studies. A man of catholic interests\, Professor Musikmacher is well known for his essay Oral Arts and the Negative Space Continuum. Included in the venerable Journal of Oral Arts\, this essay explores the metaphysical relationship of sound and reality. His recent book\, Altered States: A Comprehensive Investigation of Reality\, published by Didactic Press has received high critical acclaim. \nCOLOR IS LUXURY\ncharles cohen – buchla music easel\nt. Weaver – pedals\, etc\ndaniel tague – special guest \nThe Color Is Luxury sound is always improvisational\, changing and evolving\, ranging from very dense and harsh to minimal and ambient\, some beats/pulses\, often spacey\, based on their mood at the time and the atmosphere of the space they’re playing in. Regardless of the situation\, they manage to come up with something special. \nCharles plays a Buchla Music Easel\, a rare analog performance instrument he acquired from master synth maker Don Buchla in 1976. He performs regularly in Philly with various folks on the techno\, noise\, jazz and new music scenes. \nTyler plays a variety of effects pedals and devices\, which he wires up differently for each show\, thus always keeping Charles guessing. Tyler is also involved with SNOWSTORM & Jive Nation\, and collaborates frequently with other Philadelphia artists. \nSpecial guest Daniel Tague will be joining us on effected lapsteel\, (delay pedal\, bow\, ebow\, xylophone mallets etc.)\, loops\, CD players\, tapes\, sounds of the ocean through his nose (on occasion)\, and other noisemaking junk.
