    EMAIL INTERVIEW with Pachi Tapiz, Spanish Music Critic December 2009 to February 2010. Published in Spanish by Tomajazz in June 2010 http://www.tomajazz.com/perfiles/ochs_larry_2010.html Q1: Why did Rova decide to join its creative forces with Nels Cline Singers? Ochs: Rova has employed all these guys over the past 12 years or so in different bands. Scott Amendola and I work together in Larry Ochs Sax & Drumming Core as well as in a new band called Kihnoua featuring the great vocals of Korean‐born Dohee Lee. (That band plays in Europe very soon, but unfortunately nothing in Spain. I thought “maybe” some place there would hire this band after all the news / nonsense in December, but no one called me except journalists. No, I was not surprised that no one called. But I do feel strongly that Kihnoua is a great band, but I would agree with those on the other side; it is not a jazz band. Jazz influenced? Definitely; jazz band? No. I will send you the just released CD in early May when I return from the tour.) Sorry for the digression: So Scott performed first with Rova in a big piece of mine in 1998 called “Pleistocene: The Ice Age.” (as well as Adams’ and Raskin pieces that same evening.) And he worked in Vancouver with us on Electric Ascension in 2005 along with Devin Hoff and Nels, of course. Nels recorded Electric Ascension with us live in 2003, played on every performance of that “event” until 2009, and he is “the man” in free jazz when it comes to playing updated versions of late‐period Coltrane on guitar.

MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR WELCOME TO OTHER MINDS 19 Ever since the dawn of “modern music” in the U.S., the San Francisco Bay Area has been a leading force in exploring new territory. In 1914 it was Henry Cowell leading the way with his tone clusters and strumming directly on the strings of the concert grand, then his students Lou Harrison and John Cage in the 30s with their percussion revolution, and the protégés of Robert Erickson in the Fifties with their focus on graphic scores and improvisation, and the SF Tape Music Center’s live electronic pioneers Subotnick, Oliveros, Sender, and others in the Sixties, alongside Terry Riley, Steve Reich and La Monte Young and their new minimalism.

  • Blabla Bio Fred Frith
    BlaBla Bio Fred Frith Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and improviser Fred Frith has been making noise of one kind or ano- ther for almost 50 years, starting with the iconic rock collective Henry Cow, which he co-founded with Tim Hodgkinson in 1968. Fred is best known as a pioneering electric guitarist and improviser, song-writer, and composer for film, dance and theater. Through bands like Art Bears, Massacre, Skeleton Crew, Keep the Dog, the Fred Frith Guitar Quartet and Cosa Brava, he has stayed close to his roots in rock and folk music while branching out in many other directions. His compositions have been performed by ensembles ranging from Arditti Quartet and the Ensemble Modern to Concerto Köln and Galax Quartet, from the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra to ROVA and Arte Sax Quartets, from rock bands Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Ground Zero to the Glasgow Improvisers’ Orchestra. Film music credits include the acclaimed documentaries Rivers and Tides, Touch the Sound and Leaning into the Wind, directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer, The Tango Lesson, Yes and The Party by Sally Potter, Werner Penzel’s Zen for Nothing, Peter Mettler’s Gods, Gambling and LSD, and the award-winning (and Oscar-nominated) Last Day of Freedom, by Nomi Talisman and Dee Hibbert- Jones. Composing for dance throughout his long career, Fred has worked with Rosalind Newman and Bebe Miller in New York, François Verret and Catherine Diverrès in France, and Amanda Miller and the Pretty Ugly Dance Company over the course of many years in Germany, as well as composing for two documentary films on the work of Anna Halprin.

  • Longer Bio August 2018
    Miya Masaoka is a composer and artist based in New York City. Classically trained, her work operates at the intersection of spatialized sound, frequency and perception, performance, social and historical references. Whether recording physical objects, plants or the human body, within architecturally resonant spaces or outdoor resonant canyons, she creates incongruencies that reflect current realities. Her interconnected artistic practices include notated composition, alternative personas, and hybrid acoustic-electronic performance on Japanese traditional string instruments such as the koto and ichigenkin. Her work includes writing new Noh music, instrument building, wearable computing, and sonifying the behavior of plants, brain activity and insect movement and orchestra works. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including the Venice Biennale, MoMA PS1, Kunstmuseum Bonn, Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia. Masaoka is an Assistant Professor of Practice at Columbia and the Director of Sound Art MFA, and previously taught at the Milton Avery School of the Arts at Bard College. She is a Park Avenue Armory Studio Artist in 2019. She has a commission to create an outdoor sound installation for Sonic Innovations at the Caramoor in 2019. She has exhibited at the Contemporary Art Chicago, and the Laboratorium for Contemporary Art Museum at Ujazdowski Castle and Siggraph. She was the keynote speaker for NIME (New Interfaces for Musical Expression) in Brisbane, Australia and a Fulbright Fellow to Japan in 2016. She has been the recipient of such grants and commissions as the Doris Duke Artist Award, the Alpert Award in the Arts, The Gerbode Foundation, The Electronic Music Foundation, the MAP Fund, The NEA, The Montalvo Arts Center’s Lucas Artists Residency, STEIM, Issue Project Room (Siloh), The Headlands, and others.

  • Tom Djll Studied Electronic Music with Stephen Scott at the Colorado College, Working with the EMS Synthi 100 System at Packard Hall
    Tom Djll studied electronic music with Stephen Scott at the Colorado College, working with the EMS Synthi 100 system at Packard Hall. In 1978 and 79 Djll studied at the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock, NY, with Roscoe Mitchell, Anthony Braxton, Wadada Leo Smith, George Lewis, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Karl Berger and many other giants of new music. He spent the years 1981-1993 working with the Serge Modular Music System before enrolling in Mills College Contemporary Music Program, where he extended his quest to develop and integrate an idiosyncratic trumpet language into an electronic sound environment, while also pursuing advanced improvisation studies, formally, with Pauline Oliveros, and, informally, with Jack Wright. While at Mills, Djll concentrated on microtonal composition, split-tone trumpet technique, and computer music. He also worked extensively with Chris Brown, resulting in contributions to Brown’s recordings LAVA (Tzadik) and DUETS (Artifact). Further refinement of trumpet languages and free improvisation with his band GROSSE ABFAHRT was undertaken from 1999 – 2010, published on the Emanem, Creative Sources, and Setola di Maiale labels. Beginning in 2012, Djll gradually re-introduced electronics into his sound-set. The results are heard in projects like hackMIDI (extreme electro-mechanical piano music), piano + analog electronics in TENDER BUTTONS (with Tania Chen and Gino Robair), delicate environments in EUPHOTIC (with Cheryl Leonard and Bryan Day), austere acoustic spaces with KOKUO (Kanoko Nishi-Smith, John McCowen, Jacob Felix Heule, and Kyle Bruckmann) and ongoing sessions and performances within the lively and ever-evolving Bay Area scene, including: Tim Perkis, Amanda Chaudhary, Jordan Glenn, Clarke Robinson, Suki O’Kane, Matt Ingalls, Tom Nunn, bran(…)pos, and Karen Stackpole.

  • The 13 Annual Music for People & Thingamajigs Festival Featured On
    August 11, 2010 Contact: Edward Schocker 510-418-3447 For Immediate Release [email protected] The 13th Annual Music for People & Thingamajigs Festival featured on Rachel Maddow Show August 1, Oakland. Artists from this year’s Music for People & Thingamajigs Festival were interviewed and performed on the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC on Friday, September 24th, 2010. In this segment correspondent Kent Jones talked with artists and instrument builders Matthew Montfort, Gretchen Jude, Terry Berlier and Tom Nunn. A link to the actual video footage can be found here: Kent Jones rocks out on thingamajigs Kent Jones reports on the strange instruments played at the Music for People and Thingamajigs Festival in San Francisco. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/vp/39352511#39352511 Kent Jones, the Rachel Maddow Show's pop-culturist, was in San Francisco September 23rd and 24th to cover the opening of the Music for People and Thingamajigs Festival. Matthew Montfort kicked off the festival by showcasing his unusual guitars: the Godin Glissentar, an 11 string fretless guitar, and the scalloped fretboard guitar, a special modified instrument able to produce ornaments characteristic of the sitar. Getchen Jude demonstrated her light-sensored instrument called the Photo-Koto, which is a traditional Japanese koto mixed with homemade electronic gadgets. Stanford University faculty Terry Berlier showed off her ‘percussion ball’, which is an octagonal shape with tubes that acts as a resonator and determines the pitch or the note that is hit. Tom Nunn and David Michalak demonstrated their Scatchbox instruments made out of found objects stuck to cardboard boxes.

  • 3 Live Electronic Music
    P1: SFK/SFV P2: SFK 9780521868617c03.xml CUUK1005B-Collins July 24, 2007 14:52 3 Live electronic music nicolas collins It is perhaps a general human habit to view the technological and the organic as opposites. It is certainly the case that the phrase ‘live electronic music’ strikes many a music fan as oxymoronic. Isn’t the purpose of electronics to do things for us so we don’t have to do them ‘live’ ourselves? To record, per- fect and play back performances so we can listen while cycling stationarily? To facilitate the creation of inhumanely intricate compositions that spew themselves out of speakers at the touch of a button, instead of all that messy sliding about on strings? While there is no question that composers of tape music and computer music (and a fair number of pop music producers as well) have employed electronics to exactly these ends, electronic technology has another, and possibly more profound power: enabling new and volatile connections. Don’t think Edison, think Alexander Graham Bell. Since the 1930s (well before the advent of tape) composers have been using this prop- erty of electronics to produce not just new sounds but fundamentally new approaches to organising the sonic world. Pre-history Electronic music has its pre-history in the age of steam. In 1897 Thaddeus Cahill patented the Telharmonium, a machine that weighed in at over two hundred tons and resembled a power station more than a musical instru- ment. It generated sine tones with dynamos, played from an organ-like keyboard. Cahill understood that electricity could provide not only sound but a means of distribution as well: the Telharmonium’s sounds were car- ried over the telephone lines that were beginning to be laid in major cities, intended for playback through speaker systems in restaurants, hotel lobbies and homes of the rich.

  • LINER NOTES © Anthology of Recorded Music, Inc
    The League of Automatic Music Composers 1978–1983 Notes by Tim Perkis and John Bischoff The League of Automatic Music Composers was a band/collective of electronic music experimentalists active in the San Francisco Bay Area between 1978 and 1983. Widely regarded as the first musicians to incorporate the newly available microcomputers of the day into live musical performance, the League created networks of interacting computers and other electronic circuits with an eye to eliciting surprising and new “musical artificial intelligences.” We approached the computer network as one large, interactive musical instrument made up of independently programmed automatic music machines, producing a music that was noisy, difficult, often unpredictable, and occasionally beautiful. Cultural Background: Northern California in the ’70s The work of the League partook of the distinctive cultural atmosphere of the San Francisco Bay Area in the seventies and eighties, a rich blend of communal ideologies, radical culture, technical innovation, intellectual ferment, and a hands-on attitude that has been a hallmark of California life since the pioneer days. In the air then there was a sense of new possibilities, and the feeling of the need to build a culture from the ground up. For music, specifically, this meant redefining everything about how it’s done, from the instruments and tuning systems to the musical forms, venues, and social relations among players and audiences. As yet unnamed, Silicon Valley was springing to life, where the almost daily announcements of new integrated circuits made possible the birth of a new subculture, where hobbyists and hackers outside of—or marginally connected to— technology industries were creating the microcomputer revolution.
