Website: http://www.giovannilarovere.co.uk/recording-sessions/ This concert series is made possible through the goodwill of the musicians involved and the support of IKLECTIK Art Lab. Curated by Giovanni La Rovere Recording Sessions – Evans/Lexer/Parker/Pluta/Sanders Recording Sessions Recording Sessions is a concert series focusing on live recordings of free improvisation, free jazz, electro- acoustic improvisation and experimental composition projects. This series of events works with musicians and artists to develop an idea (or project) undertake research, capture a specific meeting of particular musicians and ultimately to explore the creative resource that is listening and the differences between the two predominant modes of making music: composition & improvisation. Experimental music and recording technology has undeniably influenced 20th and 21st century music making and developing a culture of listening to experimental music. Recording sessions intends to explore the interconnections among the aesthetics of Experimental Music and the aesthetics of sound recording with a focus on the act of Listening to research & explore our responses to music as it is experienced at live events (or when listening to recordings). Parat+ The aim of this concert series is to present projects, ideas or research that artists are currently developing or have developed. Sebastian Lexer’s investigation of combining electroacoustic processes with acoustic piano is concerned with achieving a balance between these elements within improvised performance, enabling realtime control of computerised effects while engaging in the physicality of playing. Lexer’s musical practice involves the continuous development of bespoke software applications and the integration of sensors and audio analysis in his performance system Piano+. The strength of the embedded control structures lies in an intuitive approach using three point multi-touch gestures for realtime adjustments to parameter mappings and setup. The resulting app Parat+ streamlines these concepts giving ultimate control and flexibility to any user while keeping technical considerations to a minimum, allowing intuitive use while keeping the focus on the creative task, be it music, art installations or stage lighting. For more information about Parat+ visit: http://apps.incalcando.com/ 2 | Recording Sessions Recording Sessions – Evans/Lexer/Parker/Pluta/Sanders The Musicians Evan Parker - saxophones http://evanparker.com/index.php Evan Parker (born in Bristol, 1944) took up the saxophone at the age of 14. Early influences included Paul Desmond, Eric Dolphy, and above all John Coltrane. After witnessing the Cecil Taylor Trio with Jimmy Lyons and Sunny Murray in full flood in New York in 1962 he was, as he says, "marked for life", converted to the intensities of free jazz. Back in England, he gradually found players to share his fervour, including John Stevens and the members of the Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Dave Holland, Kenny Wheeler, Paul Rutherford, Derek Bailey and others - and, importantly, Peter Kowald, who made the introductions to the German scene. Parker played on Peter Brötzmann's still dangerous 'Machine Gun' in '68 and, before the 60s had run their course, had also recorded with Manfred Schoof and Pierre Favre. In 1970 he joined the Alex von Schlippenbach Trio, of which he is still a member, and subsequently the Globe Unity Orchestra. By this point the hallmarks of his unique style were established, his combinations of circular breathing, tonguing, rhythm patterns, overtones and polytones making his sound instantly recognisable. Free improvised music has accounted for most of Parker's activities over the last forty years, whether playing solo or in groups, but both jazz and art music composers have also deployed the arresting physicality of his sound as a contrasting and energising element. His saxophones have been heard inside jazz big bands led by Kenny Wheeler, Chris McGregor, Barry Guy, Stan Tracey and Charlie Watts and in the chamber music of Michael Nyman, Gavin Bryars, Frederic Rzewski and others. A major force in European improvising, Parker has collaborated, too, with American innovators, amongst them Cecil Taylor, Paul Bley, Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell, George Lewis and Wadada Leo Smith. He has also been sought out by artists on the experimental fringe of pop music, and Scott Walker, Robert Wyatt, Annette Peacock, David Sylvian, Jah Wobble, Spring Heel Jack, and Squarepusher have all called upon the sonorities that only Evan Parker's saxes can provide. The reiterative, intricately-detailed patterns of Parker's soprano saxophone improvisations can recall the 'loops' of systems music. Aspects of electronics have long interested him; already in 1969, in the Music Improvisation Company, his saxophone phrases responded to the tweaked coil microphones of Hugh Davies. In the subsequent duo with Paul Lytton, raw live electronics were again frequently foregrounded. Since 1990 Parker has led the Electro-Acoustic Ensemble whose radical cross- referencing of improvisation and real-time sound processing has brought fresh sound-colours into the music as well as new ways of working Ensemble member Richard Barrett has spoken of the EAE providing a model for a new kind of improvising orchestra. Evan Parker appears on more than 200 recordings on labels including ECM, FMP, Emanem, Incus, Ogun, Po Torch, Okka, Island, CBS, RCA etc. In 2001, he founded his own label, Psi. Sebastian Lexer - Piano+ http://sebastianlexer.eu Sebastian Lexer’s musical life is focused on free improvisation and the experimental. The role of technology has become an increasingly integral part in his music, best reflected in his creation of and 3 | Recording Sessions Recording Sessions – Evans/Lexer/Parker/Pluta/Sanders performances with the Piano+, an electroacoustic extension to the piano. His solo CD Dazwischen and various collaborations with, for example, Steve Noble, Evan Parker, Eddie Prévost, Ute Kanngiesser and Seymour Wright, show the exiting sound-worlds explored ‘in between’ the acoustic piano and the electroacoustic modification thereof. Sebastian works freelance as a musician, audio engineer and producer, and is the founder of INCALCANDO, developing interactive software for musicians and artists. A regular performance schedule has included concerts and radio broadcasts in Europe, Canada and the US. Mark Sanders - Percussion http://www.marksanders.me.uk Mark has played with many renowned musicians including Roscoe Mitchell, Wadada Leo Smith and Evan Parker. He works in a regular improvising duo with John Butcher, also performing in John`s composition for duo and backing tracks `Tarab Cuts` which has played festivals in Rio de Janiero, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Glasgow, Bristol, London and Philadelphia. With Christian Marclay in his piece`Everyday` for film and live music, he has performed in Aldeburgh, Ruhr Trienalle, Vienna Bienalle and Holland festival, collaborated with the film `Screenplay`in London and Lisbon and performed solo for his exhibition in London`s White Cube Gallery For Conceptual artist Henrik Hakensen`s film `The End` he has performed as an improvising soloist with orchestras conducted by Jessica Cottis, playing the music of John Coxon in Glasgow, Sydney and Monte Carlo. Peter Evans - trumpet http://pevans.squarespace.com Peter Evans is a trumpet player, and improvisor/composer based in New York City since 2003. Evans is part of a broad, hybridized scene of musical experimentation and his work cuts across a wide range of modern musical practices and traditions. Peter is committed to the simultaneously self- determining and collaborative nature of musical improvisation as a compositional tool, and works with an ever-expanding group of musicians and composers in the creation of new music. His primary groups as a leader are the Peter Evans Quintet and the Zebulon trio. In addition, Evans has been performing and recording solo trumpet music since 2002 and is widely recognized as a leading voice in the field, having released several recordings over the past decade. He is a member of the cooperative groups Pulverize the Sound (with Mike Pride and Tim Dahl) and Rocket Science (with Evan Parker, Craig Taborn and Sam Pluta) and is constantly experimenting and forming new configurations with like minded players. As a composer, he has been commissioned by the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), Yarn/Wire, the Donaueschingen Musiktage Festival, the Jerome Foundation's Emerging Artist Program, and the Doris Duke Foundation for the 2015 Newport Jazz Festival. Evans has presented and/or performed his works at major festivals worldwide and tours his own groups extensively. He has worked with some of the leading figures in new music: John Zorn, Kassa Overall, Jim Black, Weasel Walter, Levy Lorenzo, Nate Wooley, Steve Schick, Mary Halvorson, Joe McPhee, George Lewis, and performs with both ICE and the Wet Ink Ensemble. He has been releasing recordings on his own label, More

Cone Endowment and a grant from the PNC Foundation. ABOUT THE MUSIC David Lang writes: Over the summer I asked Matthew Shipp if he would like to play for us the music from his recent recording The Piano Equation. This album came out towards the beginning of the pandemic and I found myself listening to it over and over—its unhurried wandering and unpredictable changes of pace and energy made it a welcome, thoughtful accompaniment to the lockdown. My official COVID soundtrack. Matthew agreed, but he warned me that what he would play might not sound too much like what I had heard on the recording. This music is improvised, which means that it is different every time. And of course, that is one of the reasons why I am interested in sharing it on our season. We have been grouping concerts under the broad heading of ‘virtuosity’–how music can be designed so that we watch and hear a musical problem being overcome, right before our eyes and ears. Improvisation is a virtuosity all its own, a virtuosity of imagination, of flexibility, of spontaneity.

    JOHN TCHICAI DISCOGRAPHY Introduction This discography is the result of a special project following the preparation of the ”Danish Jazz Discography 1945-2000”. In the first phase John Tchicai did supply a lot of information on his recordings. However – because of the complications after he suffered a stroke in June 2012 – he did not see the final result. Edited by Erik Raben Please mail all corrections and comments to [email protected]. Content The Discography covers John Tchicai’s recordings 1962 – 2012. Available video recordings are also included. The Detailed Listing of Issues has information on the issues (LP/CD names etc.) – followed by the year of recording. An overview of some of the most relevant issues is found in the Selective Listing of Issues. LP/CD titles as well as the titles played are generally written with initial capital letters – except for titles in Scandinavian languages. It has to be remembered that this discography – like most other discographies – is not faultless!

  • The Syndicate for the New Arts Presents Triple Bill at the Bop Stop April 9 by Mike Telin
    The Syndicate for the New Arts presents triple bill at the Bop Stop April 9 by Mike Telin On Saturday, April 9 at 8:00 pm at the Bop Stop, The Syndicate for the New Arts will continue their season with a triple bill evening that highlights the diversity of today’s contemporary classical music scene. The evening will kick off with Costa Rica­born composer Julio Zúñiga’s 24 (2014) ​ ​ performed by Syndicate members Ben Rempel (percussion), Caitlin Mehrtens (harp), ​ ​ and Austin Lewellen (contrabass). The Syndicate set will also include Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s Particles (2007) — a duo for harp and percussion ​ ​ ​ ​ performed by Rempel and Mehrtens. The evening will continue with the duo Patchwork, Noa Even (saxophone) and Stephen ​ ​ Klunk (drum set), performing Axamer Folio (2015), a new commissioned work by ​ ​ pianist, composer, educator, and former Ohio resident Eric Wubbels. In his composer notes Wubbels explains that Axamer Folio is “a modular network of 25 ​ ​ pieces for saxophone and drum set, with no pre­set order, form, or duration. The individual pieces (which include duos, solos, and duos that can be separated and combined with other pieces) project a small number of musical objects in an extremely diverse range of performative and notational contexts, from rigorously specified to indeterminate, graphic, and text scores; from tightly synchronized duo music to phasing loops, list structures, and free improvisation.” The duo’s set will also include Cincinnati­based composer Nate May’s Fun With Teeth ​ (2015), which the composer describes as “death metal wrapped in a pink ribbon.” The evening’s third set will feature trumpet player and improviser/composer Peter Evans ​ performing a solo set of improvised music that defies categorization.

  • Press Release Art & Language Letters to the Jackson Pollock Bar in The
    Press Release Art & Language Letters to The Jackson Pollock Bar in the Style of The Red Krayola Featuring Matthew Jesse Jackson John Coxon and J. Spaceman Thursday, October 24, 2019 504 West 24th Street, New York Doors: 6pm Performances: 6.30 – 8.30pm RSVP required: [email protected] Lisson Gallery New York is pleased to present a night of performance, discussion and music inspired by the pioneering work of Art & Language and their 40-year collaboration with The Red Krayola, a punk band founded in Houston, Texas, by Mayo Thompson and Frederick Barthelme in 1966. The evening will also feature a discussion with Art & Language, hosted by art historian Matthew Jesse Jackson, as well as a newly commissioned homage to some of The Red Krayola’s earliest live shows, composed by musicians J. Spaceman (of Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized) and John Coxon (from Spring Heel Jack and the Treader label). After the conceptual art group known as Art & Language was formed in 1968 at Coventry College of Art in the UK, it quickly spread to New York where it centered on two important journals, Art-Language (1969-85) and then later The Fox (1975-76), by which time some 20 artists were connected in various ways with the name. It was around this time that an album entitled Corrected Slogans came out, marking the first collaboration between Art & Language in the UK and The Red Krayola, in which snippets and slogans from conceptual art theory and philosophical tracts were sung or chanted over music composed in response by Thompson’s band.
