Eine avancierte Frauencomputerband und eine avantgardistische, kompromisslose Rock-Männerband mit Gastauftritt und DJ-Nacht sind das diesjährige Jubiläumsprogramm der Freunde Guter Musik Berlin im Kultort Maria am Ostbahnhof. Besucher früherer Freunde-Konzerte werden unter den etablierten Labels FEMMES ÉLÉCTRONIQUE und BANDS’N’BOYS alte Bekannte in neuen Formationen wieder treffen wie Eliane Radigue und zeitblom. The Lappetites sind gegenwärtig die Frauen-Laptop-Band Europas. Sie vernetzen ihre Computer und koordinieren ihre sonischen Verwicklungen live mithilfe von Spielregelsets – in der Tradition der legendären Netzwerkband THE HUB begeben sie sich auf aktualisiertes klangliches Terrain. In der einmaligen Formation mit der Pionierin elektroakustischer Musik Eliane Radigue, der Entwicklerin und Netzwerkerin Kaffe Matthews, e-Poetin AGF und der japanischen Elektronikerin Ryoko werden nicht nur vier Computer vernetzt, sondern auch verschiedene musikalische Erfahrungen, Genres, Herkunftsländer und Generationen. The Lappetites sind nach ihren Konzerten zwischen 2001 und 2004 und dem Erscheinen ihrer CD „Before the libretto“ 2004 erstmalig wieder live zu erleben! Von HEAVEN AND Musikern wie Martin Siewert (guitars, lap steel, electronics, keyboards), Tony Buck (drums, percussion), Steve Heather (drums, marimba, percussion) und zeitblom (bass, keyboards) hat man bislang nicht einen klischeehaften Ton gehört. Im Gegenteil: Sie bedienen sich der im 21. Jahrhundert zum Klischee verkommenen musikalischen Formen und füllen sie mit neuen Ideen – mit ihren Ideen. Das tun sie derart kompromisslos, dass Beschreibungsversuche als zunehmend sinnlos erscheinen. Die Klammer dieser Musik ist ihre schier unglaubliche Intensität und Kompromisslosigkeit. Das Ganze wirkt dabei wie ein Update der stoischen Krautrock-Monster aus den frühen 1970ern. Das Record Release Concert von staubgold präsentiert HEAVEN AND, die Legende David Cunningham sowie DJ Alec Empire und DJ Markus Detmer. PRESSEMITTEILUNG FREUNDE GUTER MUSIK BERLIN e.V.

Seit 1983 widmen sich die Freunde als gemeinnütziger Verein der Präsentation und Vermittlung von neuer Musik und Musik in neuen Formen. Zahlreiche internationale, deutsche und Berliner Künstler wurden eingeladen, ihre Arbeiten an wechselnden ausgewählten Schauplätzen der Stadt zu präsentieren; viele von ihnen waren zum ersten Mal in Berlin zu hören und zu sehen. Die meisten dieser Künstler entziehen sich den üblichen Kategorien des Musiklebens; sie operieren an den experimentellen Rändern der Sparten und im Grenzland von Musik, Bildender und Darstellender Kunst. Composer-Performances, Minimal Music und ihre Ausläufer, avancierte Improvisationen, Musik mit ethnischen und volksmusikalischen Wurzeln, Musik auf neu erfundenen, wiedergefundenen oder mutierten Instrumenten, live- elektronische Musik, aber auch »sound art« oder Klangkunst – akustische Installationen, Environments, Klangskulpturen, musikalische Medienkunst und Projekte Bildender Künstler – beschreiben in Umrissen das Arbeitsgebiet der Freunde. The activities of Freunde Guter Musik are a Berlin tradition. Since 1983, the non-profit association "Friends of Good Music" has been dedicated to presenting and promoting new music and music in new forms. Freunde has invited artists from Berlin, from Germany, and from all over the world to show their work in venues throughout the city, giving many their first opportunity to be seen and heard in Berlin. Most of the artists elude classification in traditional musical categories – they operate at the experimental edges of their genres and in the zone where music and the visual and performing arts converge. Freunde's sphere of activities encompasses composer-performances, minimal music and its offshoots, high-level improvisation, music with ethnic and folk roots, music played on invented, rediscovered or mutated instruments, and live electronic music, as well as "sound art" – acoustic installations, environments, sound sculptures, musical media art, and projects by visual artists.

Dezember 2008 ▪ 21:00 THE LAPPETITES http://lappetites.poemproducer.com/ The Lappetites is Eliane Radigue (France), Kaffe Matthews (UK), Antye Greie/AGF (Germany) and Ryoko Kuwajima (Japan). "Before the libretto" is the Lappetites' first release. The Lappetites is a forum, a meeting place, a concept within which to make and exchange new music via digital and sonic linking games in remote and local places within a multispeaker playground. The Lappetites was spawned from an evening Kaffe Matthews curated at Tonic, New York, April 2001 where o-blaat, Ikue Mori, Zeena Parkins, Marina Rosenfeld and herself played a 45 minute set. Matthews: "All electronics players, not only did we have this ridiculously new situation of improvising with a bunch of just girls, but the potential that evening inspired made it obvious that this format could be the start of this live electronics band idea. And so The Lappetites came into being." With other commitments, distance, travel costs and schedules, it was soon realised, that The Lappetites would be a forum within which to explore these ways of playing, and that members would come and go over time. Biografien THE LAPPETITES Kaffe Matthews was born in Essex, England, and lives and works in London. Since 1996 she has been making new electro-acoustic music through a system of self designed software matrices through which she pulls and pushes different sounds live. The variety of sounds, things and places she has worked with have ranged from self played violin and theremin, sounds of spaces, kite strings on an uninhabited Scottish Island, flight data from NASA scientists, Scottish and Irish pipers, melting ice in Quebec, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, vibrating wires in the West Australian outback and currently a Vietnamese monochord and seaside sounds processed with 11 year olds to be dispersed by visitor pedalled bicycles. In 2009, she will be working with sharks and conservation scientists on the Galapagos Islands. Currently she is Director and Founder of the collective research project music for bodies , making music to feel rather than just listen to through specialist sonic interfaces. With the Worldwide Bed project about to build its seventh Bed, her research is now developing outdoor concrete Benches, with the first now permanently installed in Mexico City. Kaffe continues to regularly collaborate, and was an Artistic Advisor to STEIM, (electronic music studios) Amsterdam, NL. Her 2004 collaboration Weightless Animals was awarded a BAFTA, she received a NESTA Dreamtime Fellowship in 2005 and an Award of Distinction, Prix Ars Electronica 2006 for the work Sonic Bed_London. In February 2006 she was made an Honorary Professor of Music, Shanghai Music Conservatory, China. Recent works include: The Marvelo Project (2008), work for bicycles and GPS connected scores, Folkestone Triennial; Sonic Bench_Mexico,(2007) Laboratorio Arte Alameda, Mexico City; Body Abiding (2007), BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Glasgow, Scotland; Sonic Bed_Shanghai,(2006), Xuhui Art Museum, Shanghai, China; Three Crosses of Queensbridge,(2005) work for bicycles + radios, the Drawing Room, London; No-one here but us chickens (2005), TATE Modern, London, UK. Her stereo solo works are released and available through Annette Works. 2008 www.musicforbodies.net, www.annetteworks.com, [email protected] Ryoko lived in England from 1995 – 2004. Graduated from Sound Engineering College

  • Visible Cloaks Reassemblage
    Visible Cloaks Reassemblage Visible Cloaks’ Reassemblage is a collection of delicately rendered passages of silence and sound that invokes – and invites - consciousness. The foundation of the duo’s second album is gently poured upon the ground their musical predecessors explored, using the materials of chance operations, MIDI “translation,” and other generative principles that favor inclusive musical environments over the narrowly constrained. In 2010, Spencer Doran, one part of Visible Cloaks alongside Ryan Carlile, prepared the first volume ofFairlights, Mallets, and Bamboo, a mixtape indicated by Doran as “an investigation into fourth-world undercurrents in Japanese ambient and pop music, years 1980 - 1986.” These mixes contextualized the outré orbit of Yellow Magic Orchestra-related solo projects and their abstract, radiant forays as forever futuristic modes of music. Reassemblage evokes similar musical futures celebrated on the Fairlights mixes, but does so observantly rather than reverently. The title Reassemblage, for example, is taken from a film essay byTrinh T. Minh-ha, which explores the impossibility of ascribing meaning to ethnographic images. The author aims to “speak nearby” rather than “speak about.” In other words, to embrace lapses of understanding, and realize that the impulse to map direct meaning across a cultural gap often results in further disconnect. In an effort to “speak nearby” rather than “speak about,” Visible Cloaks Track Listing RVNG Intl. filters and forms source material to become young again. Often the duo strip 1.

Jazz is one of the last renewable resources the country and the world has left.

  • The Necks Come to Castlemaine As Part of Their Australian Tour
    IMPROVISATION GENIUSES THE NECKS COME TO CASTLEMAINE AS PART OF THEIR AUSTRALIAN TOUR Already on the road, the world famous improvising legends and one of Australia’s great cult bands THE NECKS return home for their much-anticipated annual Australian tour. Renowned for creating immersive, hypnotic concert experiences over two completely improvised one-hour sets, Chris Abrahams (piano), Lloyd Swanton (bass) and Tony Buck (drums/percussion) slowly conjure sound mountains out of thin air that leave audiences mesmerised. From humble beginnings over a quarter of a century ago as a private jamming project, The Necks now count Brian Eno and Nick Cave among their legions of fans. They have released 16 albums and have played packed concerts everywhere from the Sydney Opera House to The Barbican in London and Roulette in New York. More recently, in 2012, they completed two tours of Europe and the UK, garnering outstanding UK reviews from The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Financial Times, with The Telegraph’s Ivan Hewitt describing “A vast sound-mass suspended in vibrating, seething stillness, its colour and luminosity changing slowly, like a landscape observed from a car...”. 2012 also saw The Necks’ album ‘AETHER’ added to The Australian National Registry of Recorded Sound, and their legendary first album ‘SEX’ re-released through FUSE. The Necks’ commitment to the simple concept of truly “letting the music take care of itself” is at the core of their unique sound and their ability to constantly create exciting, engrossing music for themselves and their audiences. No two Necks concerts are ever the same.

I have investigated three key areas of extension: the physical structure of the Harp and its internal resonant spaces, mimicry as an exploratory tool useful in better understanding the Harp in relation to the Australian environment, and improvisation both free and structured used to challenge the vocabulary of the Harp in solo performance and collaborative contexts.

Introduction (Prelude) Baroque music has been part of the saxophone repertoire in one form or another since the instruments creation, as it so happened to coincide with the Baroque revival. ‘It was Mendelssohn's promotion of the St Matthew Passion in 1829 which marked the first public "revival" of Bach and his music’ 1, either through studies or repertoire the music of the baroque period has had an important role in the development of the majority of all saxophonists today. However the question remains. What function does this music have for a modern instrumentalist and how should this music be used or performed by a saxophonist? Many accolades have been given of saxophone performances of Baroque music.

Not only is the 26th the late trumpeter’s birthday but many of his most enduring works were New York@Night recorded during this month, including the Charlie Parker All-Stars (1948); the 4 Miles Davis-Tadd Dameron Quintet’s run in Paris (1949), most of the Workin’, Steamin’ and Relaxin’ triumvirate by the quintet with John Coltrane (1956), Miles Interview: Vince Giordano Ahead and At Carnegie Hall, both with the Gil Evans Orchestra (1957 and 1961 6 by Michael Hittman respectively); and the bulk of Miles in the Sky (1968). Now in May 2008, another chapter to the Miles Legacy will be written with an ambitious concert at Town Artist Feature: George Garzone Hall May 9th, “Miles From India”. A companion concert to a just-released album 7 by Matthew Miller of the same name, the concert brings together musicians who played with the legend throughout his career as well as a number of classical Indian musicians for Label Spotlight: Les Disques Victo what is billed as a “cross-cultural summit meeting”. Our Encore this month, 8 by Kurt Gottschalk guitarist Pete Cosey, is participating in what is sure to be a monumental event. But, as is typical for New York, the happenings don’t stop happening there. Club Profile: Dizzy’s Club Pianist Ahmad Jamal (Cover) brings his trio to Blue Note in a pre-release by Laurel Gross celebration of his first new album in three years, It’s Magic (Birdology-Dreyfus), due out in June.
