the wulf. @ Coaxial Arts

8:00PM

$FREE

New and recent work by Clay Chaplin, BitPanic (Casey Anderson, Clay Chaplin, and Stephanie Smith), and Corazon de Robota.

Corazon de Robota [CL] // makes retro-technological and techno-manual noise creations from low-cost, low-tech DIY sound artifacts, electronic recycling & chocolate boxes. Her sound performance stages synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, filters and handmade distortions, incorporating error and electronic aberration. Device arrangement is not fixed. She uses her instruments as non-standard modules made by herself. Signals and sound are therefore always unique, a chaotic organization of textures, feedbacks and random patterns that are set up live to explore and experiment with the rhythmic dimensions of noise. The various sonorities generated go through the spectrum of audible and inaudible frequencies, leading us into a sensory journey of physical perceptions, vibrations, frequencies and demodulation of cosmic messages.

Corazón de Robota’s DIY devices embody the philosophy of Electronic Anarchy and are all made using open source hardware.

High Desert Soundings

Twentynine Palms, CA

11AM - 11PM

High Desert Soundings is a unique music festival dedicated to bringing together musicians, performers and sound artists from across the spectrum of experimental sound practices. Featured artists draw from styles including but not limited to new and contemporary concert music, free jazz and improvisation, noise, drone and outsider ‘pop’ music. The festival takes place outside of the Joshua Tree region of the Mojave Desert in California, and thus provides a unique space for artists and audiences to experience the often demanding and immersive works we present.

High Desert Soundings 2019 will take place on May 10th and 11th and will feature exciting artists like Wolf Eyes, Sarah Hennies, David Dunn, and Palberta. Most performances will be at the Palms Bar and Restaurant in Wonder Valley, where an outdoor stage, cheap drinks, delicious food, and free on-site camping provide the setting for mesmerizing performances. There will also be a special offsite event featuring performances from David Dunn and Jeph Jerman which will offer the audience the opportunity to engage with the landscape of the High Desert. Our goal is to present the kinds of artists we believe to be representative of a continuously expanding and complexly interwoven contemporary musical landscape.

2019 Artists:

• Wolf Eyes
• Sarah Hennies
• David Dunn
• Palberta
• Happy Valley Band
• Vinny Golia
• Carolyn Chen
• Jeph Jerman
• Zachary James Watkins + Russ Peacock
• Erik Carlson

Melt Me Into The Ocean

Ocean View Park, Santa Cruz, CA

3:00PM

$FREE

Nestled on the edge of the Monterey Bay between the Pacific Ocean and the redwoods, a strong sense of place emanates throughout Santa Cruz. Melt Me Into The Ocean is a day-long event that uses sound to connect participants to this sense of place.

Melt Me Into The Ocean features participatory works by local and nationally renowned artists that use sound, images, technology, and their bodies to activate public spaces including the West Jetty Walkway, Seabright Beach, and Ocean View Park, to reveal new facets of our relationships to local ecosystems and environments.

The centerpiece of the festival is a new piece by sound artist Yolande Harris, which employs underwater recordings—of whales and other creatures—from the Monterey Bay. Part I of the work begins with a guided listening sound walk on the West Jetty Parkway in the Santa Cruz Harbor. Part II will close out the festival at sunset: a performance in Ocean View Park featuring underwater recordings, projections of whales in the water, and live instruments. In Harris’s words, this work explores “the experience of color, sound, and environment as ‘polymorphous magical substance’ and the ocean as energy-exchange or ‘chi.’”

The festival will also include works by composer and technologist Casey Anderson, who will present a new piece involving radios and other homemade technology that will enable participants to explore Seabright Beach through the fluctuations of sound over the radio, and a performance by Maidens of Delos (Laura Steenberge and K.C.M. Walker), who will play a program of newly composed pieces as well as folk and ancient tunes about sirens and the sea on Baroque instruments in the cave on Seabright Beach. Kyle Lane-McKinley and Ann Altstatt will also be premiering their new participatory work THIS LOCATION IS MOVING / THIS LOCATION HAS MOVED, in which participants are asked to imagine the present as history from the perspective of the future.

various interference procedures with radios

Join Casey Anderson for a celebration of the creative misuse of electromagnetic energy waves and their propagation in space. The workshop begins with an overview of radio technologies, including demonstrations of mechanisms that productively leverage the physical phenomena of radio waves, and culminates with the construction of simple radio transmitters. Participants will then receive an overview of Anderson’s compositions for radios, a collection of minimal, scalable, instruction-based pieces often deployed in public and performed by non-musicians. In the final component of the workshops, participants collaboratively explore various interference procedures, distribution strategies, and other creative misuses of radio technology, to make tangible the underlying phenomena that supports radio communications systems.

Sponsored by Deborah and Wayne Granquist, with support from the Arts Council of Santa Cruz County. Presented in collaboration with Idea Fab Labs.

Southland Ensemble: Wadada Leo Smith

Automata, Los Angeles, CA

8:00PM

$18, Available here

Wadada Leo Smith’s music language, Ankhrasmation, is a lifelong “experiment with instruments and people, sometime extracted from their history, sometime using their history as well.” Smith’s language admirably reserves space for individual contributions from members of the ensemble while simultaneously advancing the developing concerns of the composer. Smith’s music is truly a social context, an opportunity for each person to contribute something unique from his or her personal experience to the performance. This horizontal orientation renders the ensemble, to take a phrase from George Lewis, a “power stronger than itself.”

The primacy of Rhythm Units, those marks in Ankhrasmation that most closely resemble “conventional music notation,” emphasize a core component of Smith’s musical philosophy and language: the relationship between sound and silence. Though there are a variety of possible Rhythm Units, and a variety of manners in which a musician may choose to interpret them, all Rhythm Units share the following feature: any articulation of a sound is followed by a proportional amount of silence. A short note is followed by a short silence. A Long note is followed by a long silence. The sense of phrase duration, like many other components of Smith’s language, is at once highly personal and shared throughout the group: constantly developing, evolving.

In this concert we trace Smith’s language across two pieces, each in dialogue with a nebulous setting. Pacifica stretches the technique required by Smith’s Music Tower, challenging ensemble members to map their instrumental gestures to the propagation of light at various oceanic depths, stretching from the surface to the very bottom. Pacifica finds the ensemble split in half, resulting in two different performances that bookend the concert. Kosmic Music, on the other hand, takes as its point of departure the vast blackness of space, and features the entire ensemble. Smaller groups, or even solos, may arise out of this reconfigurable panel, whose orientation may be changed freely by ensemble members throughout the performance.

Using Antonioni’s Blow Up and Coppola’s The Conversation as sonic and procedural references, a choreography of sound, listening, and movement is explored by a frequently-blindfolded quartet.

The Happy Valley Band is the Great American Songbook heard through the ear of a machine. Composer / bandleader David Kant uses custom-built machine learning software to “unmix” pop songs and transcribe them back into musical notation. Imagine James Brown backed by a simmering Sun Ra Arkestra, Madonna with a jittery freak-out synth rhythm section, and Herb Alpert with a Tijuana Brass that must have been led by Charles Ives.

Southland Ensemble: Anthony Braxton’s Ghost Trance Music

ArtShareLA

8PM

$15 / $20

“events that start but do not end”

Southland Ensemble presents an evening of Anthony Braxton’s Ghost Trance Music. Written between 1995 - 2006, Braxton created over 100 of these compositions that serve as pathways between different notation systems and musical idioms.

Composition No. 228 Composition No. 245 Composition No. 358

with special guests:

Corey Fogel, Chris Foss, Andrew Munsey, Leah Paul, Kathy Pisaro, Stephanie Richards, Bill Roper, Jake Rosenzweig, Dave Tranchina & Argenta Walther

“In my system, every piece is an orchestra piece, every piece is a chamber piece, every piece is a solo piece. But that’s just on one plane. On the second plane, the bass part of “Composition 83” can itself be extracted and played by four hundred flutes with tambourines. Or it can be taken and played backwards, and hooked to something else. Finally, every composition of mine can be placed in a summation logic context, where it will aid the predominant voices of whatever identity it is aligned with. This is a context of structural connections that can be viewed in the same way that we talk of an erector set, that can be put together in different ways depending upon the needs of the moment.”

SACRED / PROFANE : MICHAEL PISARO and GUILLAUME de MACHAUT

Zipper Hall, The Colburn School, Los Angeles

8PM

$27 / 12

Ever since its earliest days in the 1930s, Monday Evening Concerts has striven to find kindred musical spirits from diverse historical epochs. In the third concert of our season, we pair the works of two composers: Michael Pisaro and Guillame de Machaut. Pisaro, who lives in Los Angeles, is one of the foremost representatives of the Wandelweiser Group. Writing pieces that feature microtonal electric guitar, bowed percussion, field recordings, rustling pine cones and choir, Pisaro has garnered wide critical acclaim. His counterpart on this concert, Guillaume de Machaut, was one of the great poets and musicians of 14th Century France. While the surfaces of these respective composers’ works differ greatly, by placing them side by side, we examine the deeper connections that exist between these sublime artists separated by seven centuries.

Jackson Mac Low: Poem as Score

UC San Diego Conrad Prebys Music Center

7PM

$FREE

Jennifer Bewerse is joined by Southland Ensemble to present her final recital at UC San Diego featuring the chance poetry of Jackson Mac Low. Mac Low’s dedication to systems of composition – which included chance, indeterminacy, and simultaneous performance – allowed him to create works of extreme openness. His poems represent a moment in poetry where truths of authorship were called into question and the very boundaries of music and poetry were pulled taut.

“I myself think that if it is a connection and it does something, it’s some kind of cause but it’s different from the time-linear cause going from past to future. It’s across any present, between any two things coexisting. … And I think that one thing that systematic chance does allow… is for something to happen on that synchronous plane.” - Jackson Mac Low

Featuring:

• Tree Movie
• 54th Light Poem: For Ian Tyson
• The Five Young Turtle Asymmetries
• Is That Wool Hat My Hat
• Numbered Asymmetries

The superbly imaginative, sonically expansive work of composer and sound artist Mark Trayle (1955–2015) is the subject of this tribute by friends, colleagues and former students in The Hub and Bitpanic. Co-founded by Trayle in 1986, The Hub emerged out of the Mills College scene to become the most influential improvising electronic ensemble since Musica Elettronica Viva (MEV). Known for using networked electronic and digital systems of its own devising, the Bay Area group currently consists of John Bischoff, Chris Brown, Tim Perkis, Scot Gresham-Lancaster, Phil Stone and Matt Ingalls. Adding to the computer music lineage pioneered by The Hub is the recently formed collective Bitpanic. Based in Los Angeles, it comprises Casey Anderson, Scott Cazan, Clay Chaplin, David Paha and Stephanie Smith—all one-time students of Trayle at CalArts.

“I discovered more and more how much you can minimize the number of props in the theater…a chair, but such a strong situation. If the drama is credible, you get to what is absolutely necessary without risking emptiness.” - Mauricio Kagel

David Tudor’s RAINFOREST is a blueprint to a sonic environment, an exploration of resonance that has had a significant impact on electroacoustic music. Now, over forty years since its inception, Southland Ensemble is proud to present an evening dedicated to the work.

“The basic notion, which is a technical one, was the idea that the loudspeaker should have a voice which was unique and not just an instrument of reproduction, but as an instrument unto itself.” - David Tudor

The concert will feature an installation and live performance of RAINFOREST IV, as well as Carolyn Chen’s Other forests, inspired by Tudor’s work.

“Other Forests is an amazing piece of composing craftsmanship – the string quartet having to work within a complex scheme of sounds recycled from found objects – but the result was a convincing portrayal of an organic entity as fashioned from acoustic, electronic and mechanical means.” - Paul Muller, Sequenza 21

Odeya Nini : A Solo Voice + members of Southland Ensemble : INSTRUCTABLES

Human Resources, Los Angeles

8PM

$10

Evolving over the last three years, A Solo Voice by Odeya Nini is an investigation of extended vocal techniques, resonance and pure expression, exploring the relationship between mind and body and the various landscapes it can yield. The work is a series of malleable compositions and improvisations that include field recordings and theatrical elements, aiming to dissociate the voice from its traditional attributes and create a new logic of song that is not only heard but seen through movement. Through multi-dimensionality that serves to both provoke and soothe in abstract communication, the voice is presented in its spectrum of natures as it travels through cultures, ages, emotions and colors, like photographs, with tender intimacy and bold aberrance.

::::

Members of Southland Ensemble present a 30 minute set entitled INSTRUCTABLES, a long form composition by Cassia Streb incorporating new work by Eric KM Clark alongside compositions by Taku Sugimoto and Manfred Werder.

The Southland Ensemble Plays Early Robert Ashley

REDCAT, Los Angeles

830PM

$25 / $20 / $12

Southland Ensemble, L.A.’s fast-rising experimental music collective, offers an intense portrait concert of the early oeuvre of Robert Ashley (1930–2014), a restless innovator of American music. Although the composer is best known for his later operas and theatrical works, the group focuses on a collection of seldom-performed compositions from the 1960s—
work thought to be more conceptual than musical. The ensemble sets out
to demonstrate otherwise. Its program features the iconic pieces She
Was a Visitor (1967) and The Wolfman (1964) alongside lesser-known, though equally strong, titles such as Trios (White on White) (1963) and the
 In memoriam… trilogy (1963). Started in 2013, Southland Ensemble consists of co-directors Eric KM Clark and Christine Tavolacci and core members Casey Anderson, Matt Barbier, Orin Hildestad, James Klopfleisch, Jonathan Stehney and Cassia Streb.

The reader’s chorus consists of composers and musicians, visual artists and filmmakers, writers and poets. Jordan Biren and Sara Roberts were introduced to the Black/White Oratorio by the poets Anthony McCann and Joshua Beckman for a production on the subterranean stage of the Machine Project’s Magic Theater. Inspired by this hallucinogenic poem and also by the possibilities for experimentation with a group of speaking voices, Sara and Jordan recruited a dedicated corps interested in creating new material and experimenting with it as a group. This Reader’s Chorus again performed Lax and Beer’s Black and White Oratorio last June at the Wulf, as part of the 2014 Dogstar Experimental Music Festival. Since then various members of the corps have written new works for the Reader’s Chorus to develop, arrange, and rehearse together.

On this program we will be performing Robert Lax and John Beer’s Black and White Oratorio, preceded by shorter new works by chorus members.

Surveying four decades of adventurous musicmaking—honored with the Herb Alpert Award in the Arts, as well as Guggenheim and Fulbright fellowships, among other prizes—two separate programs feature selections from LeBaron’s operas, concert theater pieces, and instrumental compositions augmented by electronics and video. Also in the mix: a sneak preview of the composer’s seventh opera, Psyche & Delia, which probes the cultural resonances of LSD; and compositions by LeBaron’s former students. Guest artists include soprano Lucy Shelton, flutist Camilla Hoitenga and the Formalist Quartet.

DIAMONDS & TAPESTRIES – EFIRD WESTERLUND

Highways, Los Angeles

830PM

$20/$15

Diamonds & Tapestries is the live performance of Joe Westerlund’s record Grandma Sparrow & His Piddletractor Cirque-estra embellished by Carson Efird’s romps & rollicks that frolic through the sonic landscape. Grandma Sparrow & His Piddletractor Cirqueestra reveals Westerlund’s fascination with collage, improvisation, humor, and the convergence of atonal and popular melodies in a psychedelic children’s song-cycle for adults. Efird’s choreography is extracted & abstracted from Grandma Sparrow’s riddles & rhymes and enlivens the many personalities that reside in the town of Piddletractor.

EFIRD WESTERLUND is the newly established experimental dance and music collaborations of Los Angeles-based choreographer and composer, Carson Efird and Joe Westerlund. They met in an improvisation for dancers and musicians class at Bennington College in 2003. Ten years later, EFIRD WESTERLUND is producing their first evening length debut, Diamonds & Tapestries: The Embellished Grandma Sparrow & His Piddletractor Cirque-estra.

FREE ADMISSION. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

A survey of some recent work made by young artists affiliated with the Echo Park Film Center—as teachers or students, curators in the microcinema or artists-in-residence. The works were created on a variety of small gauge film formats—16mm, Super 8mm, and 8mm—many existing only as reversal originals (all shown here in video reproductions). Ranging from diary films, playful narratives, formal abstractions, and performance-based work, the program highlights the work of a loose community of artists actively expanding the possibilities of analog filmmaking in the avant-garde tradition.

Programmed by Rick Bahto, an artist working primarily with 8mm / Super 8mm film, photography, sound, and performance currently living in Los Angeles. Featuring recent films by Rick Bahto, Hayley Elliott, Eve LaFountain, Alee Peoples, Mike Stoltz, Penelope Uribe-Abee, pablo valencia, and/or Walter Vargas, and others. All films originating on 16mm, Super 8mm, or 8mm, shown on video.

Byron Westbrook: Interval/Habitat

August 15 – 23, 2013, Human Resources L.A.

Performances: August 15, 7pm + August 18, 3pm + August 22, 7pm

Gallery Hours 3 – 7pm August 16 – 23, W,TH, F, S, SU

August 22nd performance: Casey Anderson and ensemble / Ted Byrnes, Ulrich Krieger and Wyatt Keusch/ Erin Schneider and ensemble

Byron Westbrook’s Interval/Habitat installation at Human Resources approaches the space as a dramatic stage. Inviting several guest performers and the audience to activate this stage, it plays looping sequences of light and sound to create “scenes” and filmic “cuts” to impose a timebased narrative form over all activity within the space. The piece approaches light and sound as physical, structural material to facilitate a changing awareness of self, body, space, and presence of others, defining social boundaries by limiting what visitors can see or hear, and dynamically shifting their focus between navigating internal psychological space and external physical space.

Interval/Habitat will be installed for two weeks at Human Resources with an accompanying series of performances, each of which offers focused examples of what may emerge from the imposition of Interval/Habitat’s dramatic structure on physical interaction, perception and communication. Performance Schedule can be found on Human Resources L.A.’s website.

August 23, gallery hours 3-7, closing reception 6pm

Come join us for the inaugural event of S.Ex.M., aka The Society of Experimental Musicians, aka The Society of Ex. Musicians, aka The Society of ExMus!

S.Ex.M. is a group dedicated to the exploration and realization of radical music, music on the fringe, and anything and everything that falls under the extremely vague category of not in any concrete category. It is made up of composers, performers, listeners, creators, and hangers-on (as well as the un-categorizable member).

Each month we will (attempt) to feature a new artist from within our ranks. They will give a performance of some of their work, talk about that work, and then there will be a discussion, possibly moderated (and possibly not).

The first event will feature S.Ex.M. founder James Klopfleisch, who will perform his pieces The Virgin Joke and Landscape #4, and then talk about what he hopes to accomplish with all of this. The moderated discussion will feature Anne LeBaron, Casey Anderson, Richard Valitutto, and Dorothy Fortenberry.

There will be coffee and Mexican pastries - think of it as a type of experimental brunch.

7:00pm

$FREE

featuring Matador Oven, Adam Overton, and possibly others soon to be announced…

Ripe for Embarrassment: For a New Musical Masochism is a manifesto—written by Matador Oven, translated by Adam Overton—proposing a new paradigm in composer/performer relations, wherein the composer is a masochist who uses score-based Cageian indeterminacy in hopes of being humiliated by a willing performer. It was published in February 2013 as part of the Experimental Music Yearbook 2012, and was first delivered as a lecture at Kristi Engle Gallery in January 2012. Keywords: masochism, scores, work to rule, malicious compliance, consenting adults.

Tomb of the Unknown Composer, by Adam Overton (and cited in Matador Ovens Ripe for Embarrassment) is concert featuring performances of re-named and mis-attributed scores. Unknown titles and composers are soon to be determined, and may feature a number of performers, also soon to be determined.

Mark Trayles Phantom Rooms

Museum of Jurassic Technology, Culver City, CA

8 and 9:30 pm

$15/10 (students)/Free (for members)

Phantom Rooms is a composition that maps room acoustics with a network of laptops and other instruments. The musicians exchange these maps over the network, so that rooms appear in other rooms as acoustic phantoms, their resonant frequencies disturbing the acoustics of the rooms they haunt. Members of the audience mix the composition as they wander from room to room. Expect long tones, gently bubbling feedback, and improvisational flux in this almost-hour-long performance.

Note: since only 50 people can fit in the Museums second floor, were doing two shows, 8:00pm and 9:30pm.

With Casey Thomas Anderson (laptop/saxophone), Matt Barbier (trombone), Stephanie Smith (laptop/violin), Ashley Walters (cello), and Mark Trayle (laptop). This is the U.S. premiere of Phantom Rooms.

MKM (Norbert Möslang, Jason Kahn, Gunter Müller) , Mark Trayle, Scott Cazan, Casey Anderson

Swiss electronic musicians Norbert Möslang, Jason Kahn, and Gunter Müller join local artists Mark Trayle, Scott Cazan, and Casey Anderson for a rare night of genre-defying improvisation. Möslang, Kahn, and Müller, playing together as MKM, wield a sound palette that hovers between the harsh rhythmic noise of Norbert Möslang´s cracked everyday electronics and the rich sonorities of Günter Müller´s percussion-based samples and electronics. Jason Kahn´s work on analog synthesizer bridges both worlds, adding high frequency interference and processed piezo microphone and short wave radio input to the trio. MKMs set is sure to be a sight to see, a rare opportunity to revel in three of electronic musics most distinctive voices.

Scott Cazan kicks things off with a solo set of feedback and digital electronics. Up next is an improvised duo between Casey Anderson (laptop, radio, amplified metal) and Jason Kahn (analog synthesizer, piezo microphone, and short wave radio), improvising together for the first time. After MKMs set, Mark Trayle and Anderson will join MKM for a large ensemble conclusion to the night - surely not to be missed.

Les Espaces Acoustiques and Beyond: New Music after Grisey

Featuring the CalArts New Century Players and the CalArts Orchestra conducted by Mark Menzies U.S. premieres

“Grisey stands among the foremost composers of his generation.” The New York Times

“We are musicians and our model is sound not literature, sound not mathematics, sound not theater, visual arts, quantum physics, geology, astrology or acupuncture.” Gérard Grisey

Exploring both the roots and enduring legacy of spectral music, this revelatory two-night showcase opens with the first-ever U.S. performance, in its entirety, of French iconoclast Gérard Grisey’s magnum opus, Les Espaces Acoustiques. The six-part cycle written between 1974 and 1985 became a touchstone for spectralism, a movement that sought to reconnect music with the full spectrum of sound, from consonance to noise. Pioneered by Grisey and Tristan Murail of the collective L’Itinéraire, this genre notably reconceived harmonic space in terms of sonic timbre and used electronic music techniques to manipulate live acoustic performance. Les Espaces Acoustiques begins with a viola solo and continues with sections for progressively larger ensembles, with the final two parts, for full orchestra, reaching Wagnerian heights of grandeur. The second concert follows up with works by younger generations of composers influenced by Grisey and spectralism, with recent compositions by Thierry Alla, Philippe Hurel, Kasper Toeplitz, Gérard Pesson (all from France), Rozalie Hirs (Netherlands), Andrew McIntosh (USA) and Wolfgang von Schweinitz (Germany/USA).

“[Steve Roden’s work] is aural performance art… Simplicity and beauty, sparse and Zen…” Igloo

Bozulich is following a muse that runs her ragged. Stylus

The genre-bending festival from the CalArts Center for Experiments in Art, Information and Technology returns with two concerts that each run from abstract reveries to flat-out sonic raucousness. John Wiese, founding member of the concrète grindcore band Sissy Spacek, opens the fest to crackling effect, followed by Peruvian-born avant-garde turntablist Maria Chavez, who uses new and broken needles (“pencils of sound”) and distressed vinyl to spin brooding webs of electroacoustic sound. The night concludes with composer Marcus Schmickler, of Pluramon pop fame, and two newly revised works of surround-sound computer music derived from astrophysical data. The second program kicks off with electronics and laptop interpenetrations by Better Than Future, comprising Casey Anderson, Scott Cazan and Elisabeth McMullin. Next up is a multimedia performance by Steve Roden that ruminates on desert landscapes outside Marfa, Tex., and the minimalist forms of Donald Judd through juxtapositions of field recordings, live improvisation, graphic notation, acoustic objects, electronics and video. The festival’s smashing finale arrives courtesy of Bloody Claws, aka Carla Bozulich, a sound artist who works in numerous impromptu formats and who has toured and recorded extensively with the Geraldine Fibbers, Scarnella and Evangelista. She appears alongside a very special guest.
