SUMMARY:Justin Oulett & Patrick Anseth (Free show)
DESCRIPTION:A free event with one of the finest duos in town.. what a real treat! \nAlthough specializing in jazz\, Patrick Anseth feels at home in most other groove based electric and acoustic guitar playing. He can hold down the fort as the only accompanist in any duo setting\, lead a traditional guitar trio\, or hang in a larger group without getting in the way of the piano player. He is a highly sensitive musician that completely debunks the theory that all guitar players are just loud. Many of his musician colleagues have remarked that “Patrick is the only guitar player I know that I on occasion have to tell to turn up”. \nJustin Ouellet has garnered a reputation as a fearless performer in the realms of jazz and contemporary music. In addition to cultivating an accomplished career as a classical musician on both violin and viola\, Ouellet moves effortlessly between a multitude of genres and styles such as Jazz\, R&B\, Funk\, Blues\, Hip-Hop\, Rock\, Flamenco\, and Jazz Manouche. Ouellet collaborates on violin & viola with an array of Bay Area artists. \n – – – \n21+ with valid ID \nThe Uptown is located just around the corner from the 19th Street BART Station and is wheelchair accessible

SUMMARY:Trevor Dunn | Phillip Greenlief | Scott Amendola Trio
DESCRIPTION:Phillip Greenlief (woodwinds) | Trevor Dunn (contrabass) | Scott Amendola (drums/electronics/percussion) \nScott Amendola (drums\, electronics)\, Trevor Dunn (contrabass) and Phillip Greenlief (woodwinds) have a collective and individual history that spans three decades and many continents. They have recorded as acclaimed duo records and performed up and down the west coast as a trio. While the members have been active in pairs in numerous ensembles\, this is their first set of performances as a trio in nearly 20 years. Their approach to free improvisation is to explore the many genres of music they are known for\, which spans rock\, metal\, funk\, jazz\, post-classical and film music. Expect the level of excitement to be high – these musicians are ecstatic to be working together again as a unit and are ready to deliver that joy to their audiences. \nPhillip Greenlief – Since his emergence on the west coast in the late 1970s\, Evander Music founder and saxophonist Phillip Greenlief has achieved international critical acclaim for his recordings and performances with musicians and composers in the post-jazz continuum as well as new music innovators and virtuosic improvisers. He has performed and recorded with Wadada Leo Smith\, Meredith Monk\, Rashaun Mitchell and They Might Be Giants; albums include THAT OVERT DESIRE OF OBJECT with Joelle Leandre\, and ALL AT ONCE with FPR (Frank Gratkowski\, Jon Raskin\, PG). Now celebrating the release of LANTSKAP LOGIC with Fred Frith and Evelyn Davis on Clean Feed (2019). Recent residencies have included Headlands Center for the Arts and the Banff Center for the Arts. His critical writing has been published in Artforum\, SFMOMA’s OPEN SPACE\, and Signal to Noise. \nTrevor Dunn – hails from Eureka\, California. The son of a mother and father. At an early age Mr. Dunn found himself playing clarinet. Thank the lord he found the bass. Once he realized there was no clarinet player in Kiss\, he permanently relocated his musical endeavors to the bass guitar\, which eventually lead to the stand-up bass. He leads various bands: from the effervescent “Trio Convulsant”\, to the angular-pop/rock of “Madlove”. He’s a co-founding member of the confounding “Mr. Bungle”\, and has been seen many times around the globe with the various ensembles of Mr. John Zorn. Trevor has also been caught bowling with “The Melvins”. \nScott Amendola – was born in Englewood\, New Jersey. Studied at Berklee college of music\, and lives in the bay area. He composed a symphony called “Fade To Orange” which features Mr. Dunn\, and guitarist Nels cline (with whom he’s played music with since the mid 90’s\, and is a member of “The Nels Cline Singers” along with Trevor). As a sideman\, Amendola has performed and recorded with a vast\, stylistically varied roster of artists\, including Bill Frisell\, John Zorn\, Mike Patton\, Mondo Cane\, John Scofield\, Cibo Matto\, John Dieterich from Deerhoof\, Wadada Leo Smith\, Bruce Cockburn\, Madeleine Peyroux\, Joan Osborne\, Jacky Terrasson\, Shweta Jhaveri\, Phil Lesh\, Sex Mob\, Kelly Joe Phelps\, Larry Klein\, Carla Bozulich\, Wayne Horvitz\, Johnny Griffin\, Julian Priester\, Sonny Simmons\, Pat Martino\, Jim Campilongo\, Bobby Black\, Larry Goldings\, Paul McCandless\, Rebecca Pidgeon\, and the Joe Goode Dance Group. \ndoors at 7p | show at 8p \n21+ with valid ID \nThe Uptown is located just around the corner from the 19th Street BART Station and is wheelchair accessible

SUMMARY:Grex\, Hare and Arrow\, Jeweled Snakes
DESCRIPTION:Oakland art rock band Grex comes home to round out its 10th Anniversary Tour. Plus: sublime sights & sounds from improv ensemble Hare and Arrow and the relentless heaviness of electronic duo Jeweled Snakes. \nGrex // http://www.grexsounds.com / http://grex.bandcamp.com\nGrex is an art rock band based out of Oakland\, California. Grex has been called “essential current-and-future listening” (Tiny Mix Tapes)\, exploring the meeting point between psychedelic pop/rock and the dark outer reaches of noise and free jazz. The band recalls the explosive power of late John Coltrane\, the dark energy of Suicide\, and the whimsical weirdness of Skeleton Crew and Deerhoof. In biological terms\, “grex” refers to the aggregation of a multitude of tiny\, amoeba-like creatures combining to create a superorganism. Grex (the band) works the same way: two musicians who can function as one\, the whole greater than the sum of its parts. \nHare and Arrow // https://soundcloud.com/hare-and-arrow\n6 Stop Motion films by Hare and Arrow\nMotoko Honda – Toy Piano\nTheo Padouvas – Trumpet\nMichael Noonan – Strings\nShanna Sordahl – Strings\, Electronics\, Automata\nBrian Pedersen – Reeds\nSung Kim – Invented Instruments and Automata \nJeweled Snakes // https://jeweledsnakes.bandcamp.com/\nSkot B and Sharkiface bring you some jewels\, madame!

SUMMARY:Active Music Series Presents: Shanna Sordahl\, The Lost Shapes\, Stevie Richards
DESCRIPTION:AMS PRESENTS \nSHANNA SORDAHL::::::::\nShanna Sordahl is a sound artist and composer based in Oakland\, CA. Using amplified cello with analog and digital electronics and installation art as her primary mediums\, Shanna’s work is a continual exploration of one’s relationship to both sound and physical spaces. She emphasizes timbral changes\, the resonant body of objects\, and the re-contextualization of sound through the use of unconventional playing techniques\, feedback\, and audience immersion. Shanna strives to create sonic and physical spaces that induce a focused state of awareness\, where one is encouraged to reflect on or reconsider their relationship to sound\, people\, spaces\, and ultimately\, ideas. \nHer current focuses include a fascination with blurring the lines between performance spaces and installation to emphasize the transformative potential of these events. Seeing intricate connections between the experience of music and day to day life\, Shanna cannot separate music from its social implications and lived realities. She views sound immersion and performance as methods for processing and re-contextualizing past experiences while simultaneously imagining and creating new possibilities for the future. \nWith an MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media from Mills College\, Shanna has studied composition with Laetitia Sonami\, Chris Brown\, James Fei\, and Matt Rogalsky. She has performed and worked with a variety of composers and artists including Alvin Lucier\, Trimpin\, Wrekmeister Harmonies\, and Sarah Davachi\, and with the choreography collectives Wax Poet(s) and Simpson/Stulberg Collaborations. Her work has been presented at the 2013 International SuperCollider Convention and in 2015 she was awarded the Paul Dresher Artist Residency. In addition to an upcoming album release of solo material\, her most active collaboration is as the duo SO AR with percussionist Robert Lopez.\nhttps://www.shannasordahl.net/ \nSTEVIE RICHARDS:::::::\nStevie Richards is a saxophonist and modular synth builder and\nperformer from Melbourne\, Australia.

SUMMARY:Tatsuya Nakatani\, Degradient\, Sharon Tate Fetus Explosion
DESCRIPTION:Tatsuya Nakatani:::::::\nTatsuya Nakatani is an avant-garde sound artist\, composer\, and master percussionist originally from Osaka\, Japan. Based in the USA since 1994\, he lives in Truth or Consequences\, NM. Since the late 1990’s\, Nakatani has released over 80 recordings in the USA and Europe and has toured extensively; performing solo\, in collaboration with other artists\, and with his large ensemble project – the Nakatani Gong Orchestra. He presents masterclasses\, workshops\, and lectures across the USA and around the world. \nNakatani’s approach to music is visceral\, non-linear and intuitively primitive\, expressing an unusually strong spirit while resisting genre. He creates sound with both traditional and extended percussion techniques. Utilizing his adapted bowed gong\, drums\, cymbals\, singing bowls\, metal objects and bells\, as well as various sticks\, kitchen tools\, and his breath he manifests an intense and organic music that represents a very personal sonic world. His approach is steeped in the sensibilities of free improvisation\, experimental music\, jazz\, metal and noise\, and yet retains the sense of space and quiet beauty found in traditional Japanese folk music. His percussive instruments can imitate the sound of a trumpet\, a stringed instrument\, an electronic device…to the extent that it becomes difficult to recognize the source of the sound. He has devoted himself to a musical aesthetic where rhythm gives way to pulse\, often in a way that is not always audible or visible\, in currents that incorporate silence and texture. Nakatani’s primary music activities include solo percussive performance\, his Nakatani Gong Orchestra (NGO)\, and collaborations with musicians and dancers both in live performance and recordings. \nTatsuya Nakatani has spent the last 20 years traveling and performing extensively throughout the United States and beyond. His constant touring fosters the raw and fresh quality in his music which can only survive through an open willingness to share energy\, culture\, music and self on a global human scale.\nhttp://www.tatsuyanakatani.com/ \nSharon Tate Fetus Explosion::::::::\nSharon Tate Fetus Explosion is currently a solo project of Sarah Lockhart. No Wave-inspired\, post-industrial\, art-damaged\, and generally damaged. Huddling under the noise umbrella\, some of STFE’s material is songs with words. Instrumentation includes metal percussion\, electronics\, and vocals. Content includes: real estate development\, social media trends\, normcore\, and the inner lives of domestic animals.https://sharontatefetusexplosion.bandcamp.com/releases \nKyle Bruckmann’s Degradient::::::\nAfter 13 busy years maintaining poly-stylistic sideman duties and long-distance collaborations with former Chicago comrades\, Bruckmann finally busts out as bandleader of a Bay Area ensemble. Gleefully colliding elements of skronk\, fried analog noise and dark prog within a Creative Music framework\, DEGRADIENT adds a significant chunk of heavy to his signature gimmicks of jittery polyrhythmic clatter\, formal complexity\, black humor\, and all-around sensory overload. The core quartet features fellow Chicago ex-pat Aram Shelton along with the in-demand rhythm section (currently driving groups including Jack O’ the Clock and the Fred Frith Trio) of Jason Hoopes and Jordan Glenn.\nhttp://kylebruckmann.com/projects/degradient/ \n$5 – $15 sliding scale\n21+ | wheelchair accessible

SUMMARY:Nelson\, Apropos Trio: Renzi-Mezzacappa-Levis\, & Trouble Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Active Music Series Presents \nNelson\, Apropos Trio: Renzi-Mezzacappa-Levis\, & Trouble Ensemble \n  \nTrouble Ensemble::::: \nRent Romus\, Joshua Marshall\, saxophones\nJakob Pek\, guitar\nTim DeCillis\, vibraphone\nAndrew Jamieson\, keyboard\nChris Lauf\, drums\nErnest Larkins\, voice \nThe spirituals illuminate the spiritual force that troubles the waters of injustice and oppression using the power of African and African American music and spirituality. Originally songs of black American slaves\, they are rooted in song\, dance and drumming of West Africa\, the experience of oppression of an uprooted people\, and the teachings of a transformative faith. They troubled the dominant narratives\, and their message and tradition continue to trouble unjust systems today. Composers and experimenters (like Sun Ra\, Charles Ives and Pauline Oliveros) troubled the musical establishment and its conventions as they envisioned radical new ways of making and listening to sound. Their traditions are a separate musical “voice” from African American spirituality and the two voices cannot merge into one. Instead\, they must converse. Listen to one another. Learn from one another. Discover harmony. Enjoy dissonance. Each with our own distinct voices\, we create\, listen to\, revere and question\, the melody\, rhythm and text derived from spirituals\, and other songs they inspired\, we revel in our own ways of enjoying\, discovering and making\ntrouble. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMsgh6JRjuI\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fopSGLUFX7Q \nApropos Trio: Renzi-Mezzacappa-Levis::::: \nMatt Renzi – clarinet\, oboe\, tenor sax\nLisa Mezzacappa – acoustic bass\nJason Levis – drums \nhttps://apropostrio.bandcamp.com/ \nJoel Nelson/Amplified Glass::::: \nOriginally from the Birmingham\, Alabama area\, Joel Nelson moved to Oakland\, California in 2016.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED -- Defining the Avant-Garde
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 10 \nDefining the Avant-Garde \nSung Kim creates a new genre with Stop Motion animation & improvisation on hand made instruments. An improvisor\, sculptor\, and an instrument builder\, Kim studied ceramic sculpture at the Corcoran School of Art. It was there that Kim started building his own variations of the guitar. While attending The Art Institute of Chicago he began to deviate from the guitar to explore other techniques\, tonalities\, and sympathetic resonance. Now a long time Bay Area resident\, Kim has collaborated with many local musicians to explore his instruments in an improvisational context. \nZachary James Watkins’ composition ‘Peace Be Till’ commissioned by Kronos Quartet debuted in January at Carnegie Hall. Zachary has also received commissions from Cornish College of The Arts\, The Microscores Project\, the Beam Foundation\, Somnubutone Radio Series free103point9.org\, sfsound and the Seattle Chamber Players. His band Black Spirituals opened for pionering Drone Metal band Earth during their 2015 European tour. \nJohn Shiurba is a composer and guitarist whose musical pursuits include improvisation\, art-rock\, modern composition and noise. Shiurba has recorded and toured as a member of the bands Eskimo\, The Molecules\, Spezza Rotto\, the Merce Cunningham Dance Company\, Anthony Braxton’s ensemble and the SFSound Group. Cadence Magazine calls Shiurba a ‘wildly creative guitarist… anti-jazz\, anti-everything else\, yet utterly compelling.\nHe will be playing with trumpet player Tom Djll (Grosse Abfahrt\, hackMIDI\, BEAUTY SCHOOL\, TENDER BUTTONS)\nand percussionist Gino Robair (founding member of the Splatter Trio and Pink Mountain\, performed w/Tom Waits\, Anthony Braxton\, John Zorn\, Nina Hagen\, Terry Riley\, Lou Harrison\, John Butcher\, Derek Bailey\, Peter Kowald\, Otomo Yoshihide\, and the ROVA Saxophone Quartet). \nMusic begins at 9:30pm\n$10\n21+

SUMMARY:Active Music Series: Shelton / Heule\, Ashen Cleric\, Waxy Tomb
DESCRIPTION:Active Music Series presents:\n– Aram Shelton / Jacob Felix Heule duo\n– Nathan Clevenger’s Ashen Cleric\n– Shatter Pattern (Waxy Tomb) \nShatter Pattern\nCurrently growing offshoot-outgrowth-offspring of the Bay Area-based Waxy Tomb project\, Shatter Pattern reallocates the memory space activated during dreams in hopes of generating a shared access platform for reoccurring movement practices that can slow down and speed up time.\nsoundcloud.com/waxy-tomb \nAshen Cleric plays ominous nondenominational chamber music\, presented in suites of long-form\, modular pieces that continually blur the line between composition and improvisation. The music obliquely draws upon — and sometimes recklessly disfigures — religious themed music of the world. The latest project of Oakland composer Nathan Clevenger\, Ashen Cleric features Crystal Pascucci (cello)\, Cory Wright (tenor sax/alto flute)\, Jordan Glenn (drums/accordion)\, and Tim DeCillis (vibes/percussion). \nJacob Felix Heule is an improvising percussionist with a special interest in friction techniques. His music is shaped by intuition\, listening\, and following where the sounds lead. He embraces limited instrumentation – like a single drum and a single cymbal – as a commitment to exploring the depth of his instruments.\nhttp://www.heule.us/ \nAram Shelton is an improviser and composer who performs on saxophone\, clarinets\, and live electronics. He plays with a distinct\, harmonically rich sound and develops musical thoughts through constant motion\, tonal shifts and complex sounds alongside clear melodic and rhythmic constructs. His vocabulary utilizes the range of extended techniques including multiphonics and harmonics\, circular breathing\, wind sounds and an exploration of the outer ranges of the instrument. Shelton focuses on creative music grounded in and influenced by the rich history of avant-jazz and free improvisation; his writing and playing has been documented through more than two dozen albums to date. He’s been an integral member of the creative music communities in the Bay Area and Chicago\, has been living in Copenhagen since 2016 and is moving to Budapest in the fall.\nhttp://www.aramshelton.com/ \n  \nFacebook RSVP

SUMMARY:Active Music Series: Apartment D\, Madalyn Merkey\, Arkin / Glenn Duo
DESCRIPTION:Active Music Series presents:\n– Apartment D\n– Madalyn Merkey\n– Jon Arkin & Jordan Glenn \nApartment D is an electro-improv duo that explores sound and space by combining live electronic processing and experimental performance of voice and pipa during improvisation. Ingibjörg Friðriksdóttir (https://www.ingibjorgf.com/) brings a background of both experimental electronic music and vocal training from Iceland. Sophia Shen (http://www.shensiyang.com/) combines her traditional Chinese pipa playing techniques with her new approaches to the instrument. The unique soundscape and the emotional depth that the duo creates are a result of an exchange and convergence from two very contrasting musical backgrounds and cultures. \nhttps://soundcloud.com/ingibj-rg-fri-riksd-ttir/improvisation\nhttps://soundcloud.com/ingibj-rg-fri-riksd-ttir/hymn \nMadalyn Merkey creates sound events with simple sonic material—voice\, sine waves\, and pulses—to generate lush synthetic environments with the aid of acoustic readings from microphones and sensors. She has performed solo computer music compositions at Yale Union\, Issue Project Room\, and Block Cinema\, and designed sound installations for Robert Irwin’s Central Garden at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Merkey is the English translator of the Italian music text Due scuole di musica elettronica in Italia (Die Schachtel\, 2016)\, written by composer Enore Zaffiri and published in Milan originally by Silva Editore in 1968. Recordings of her work Scent (2012) and Valley Girl (2014) are available on New Images Ltd. \nhttps://soundcloud.com/cyndi \nJon Arkin & Jordan Glenn are drummers who are known for making sounds that are outside of the main sequence of percussive timbres. With the element of AI recklessly infused via Arkin’s dangerously-sentient artificial neural networks\, the duo’s mixture of composition and improvisation carries the risk of usurpation by chance operations beyond their (or anyone’s) control. \nJordan Glenn – drums\nJon Arkin – drums & processing \nhttp://jordanglennmusic.com\nhttp://www.jonarkin.net

The album goes deep and hits home in all the most human ways possible\, this is a bold\, artistic concept record. From the filthy\, sexy dirge “Temple” where Mishkin snarls “if my body is a temple\, desecrate me”\, to the bleak and poignant “Eulogy”\, a fitting end to the record “now that I’m grown I just sink like a stone through the comfort of gravity”. \nBirdeatsbaby Facebook \nBirdeatsbaby YouTube \nUnwoman \nUnwoman is an anachrofuturistic electric cellist/singer-songwriter.

Fronted by Victoria Victrola\, the Vaudevillains’ punk cabaret sound ranges from soft and pretty to clanging\, banging piano rock. Dancers and living statues create an atmosphere of a twisted burlesque carnival….with ZOMBIES. \nVictoria and the Vaudevillains Facebook \nFacebook RSPV \n
