KN vibraphone and percussion - MO'H
performative drawing: vibraphone polished and shining ... pencils sharpened to
razor points ... a dynamic duel with art, balance, chaos and logic, teasing out
the known and unknown. Time, real and unreal is shredded and kneaded with ferocity,
curiosity and love ... energetic sounds, manual dexterity, in the service of art

Friday 4 |
Melodic without notes, rhythmic
but without a beat, familiar but strange, meticulous but radically free, Toral
plays "Space Studies", exercises in "post-free jazz electronic
music" - riddled with paradox, yet full of clarity and space, it's been described
as "a brand of electronic music far more visceral and emotive than that of
his cerebral peers" - celebrating his first ever performance in the US at
the loft where it all started back in 1994 rafaeltoral.net

In my recent work as a composer
I've been interested in the transformations and slippages that occur when a large
number of similar sounds are presented together, in dense layers; a thousand different
60Hz hums; ten thousand different distant airplanes droning; a hundred thousand
different versions of two hands clapping - each unique, each the same, resonant

"Tumble" creates their
own sound world through instant composition / improvisation; the results of their
compositional process is a chaotic as well as rational music where rhythms created
by drums and electroacoustic devices melts together with magmatic movement of
sounds diffused by broken and modified speakers; Tumble is "Organic sound
mass both delicate and wild, digital pulses diffused through a pile of modified
woofers, sound cycles which create oneiric landscapes, primitive polyrhythms,
feedbacks and pure sine waves, tangled up pattern" fortumbling.wordpress.com

"sonic update" is a project
initiated by composers/performers, in which the utilization of an instrument's
full sound-producing capacity mimics and informs the duo's interest in the joy
and inspiration of playing creative music in a collective setting; featuring a
select number of Gerszewski's and Aguilar's open-structure compositions for instruments
and electronics; joining them will be Steven Pane, Philip Carlsen, Dan Smith,
Andrew Wright, and Matt Houston ordinary-art.com/frameset.htm

There have been some problems with the building,
so there are some changes:
the downstairs door will be open from 8:30 to 10:30, and there is no intercom
or buzzer system; the audience can not be more than 75 people, so we have to
stop admitting people at that number; we will not serve wine
