The Code Ensemble Live at REDCAT

REDCAT, Downtown Los Angeles

The Herb Alpert Creative Music Series
The Re-Taking of Pelham 123 & Invasion from the Chicken Planet Plus; String Quartet #2 & Music by Randy Hostetler..!

The 14-member Code Ensemble delivers an exciting and imaginative contemporary rethink of David Shire’s classic crime-jazz score for the 1974 N.Y.C. subway caper movie The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. Horowitz and the Code bring everything from strings and horns to laptop sampler for a high-energy brew of classical, jazz, funk and rock as they perform alongside a projection of Jane Brill’s provocative meditation on the underground reverberations of 9/11.

The Code mashes up musical tropes from science fiction films in Invasion from the Chicken Planet, a theatrical presentation with live scene readings and projected video and graphics by Zig Gron. The program further includes Horowitz’s 2nd String Quartet and a set of works by Randy Hostetler.

The Saturday concert is preceded by a discussion with Steve Horowitz, Jane Brill, Zig Gron and David Shire.

“If I were hired to score the picture today, I would hope that my score would come out sounding the way that Steve’s does.” David Shire

BED OF DADDLE

MICHAEL EVANS, drums and percussion
GORDON BEEFERMAN, electric piano and synth

Two Boots Tavern
384 Grand Street, Lower East Side (at Norfolk St)
F to Delancey, JMZ to Essex, D to Grand
$5, free pizza included!

BED OF DADDLE, the improvising duo of Gordon Beeferman and Michael Evans is a futuristic and virtuosic wild ride incorporating free jazz, avant-garde and contemporary-classical music, electronics, theatrics, and junk percussion.

Beeferman combines classical technique, improvising chops and sound design to create a compelling sound-world of fractured rhythms, post-tonal harmonic progressions, and elemental melodic structures. Evans approaches his drumset with extended techniques and investigates the fluidity of rhythm and pulse with floating structures inspired by many musical and sound traditions including the blues, free jazz, world music, noise and time travel.

Moe! Staiano + Michael Evans Duo

Flux 53

Oakland, California,
$10

Audionaut Michael Evans (God Is My Co-Pilot) drops into town for a date with percussionary adventurist Moe! Staiano.
http://www.myspace.com/moestaianomoekestra
Cost : $10 suggested donation

Only good things can happen when two improv percussionists that have a fondness for found instruments and electronics perform together on one stage.

Moe! Staiano is a percussionist who usually uses found objects, but has moved to doing
drumming on found objects on his trap set (i.e. prepared percussion).
Moe! (yes, he includes the exclaimation mark in his name) has
experimented through the years though solo percussion using pipes, food
pans, pressure caps, sheet metals, nick-nacks & other stuff that
has been found, given or stolen (mainly from Pizza Hut when he worked
there including a nifty Spatula that he bows). One can expect to see
Moe!'s show as a visual eye pleaser: running around throwing pipes on
concrete, walking on pans with his feet to mute sounds or running amok,
throwing his body into old cassette tapes or two dozen cymbals in any
given performance. His shows can sometimes expect a big mess in one
fashion or another (which he replies that the aftermath of his
performances represents his life) with implements of mixers &
vibrators on objects spewed throughout the set. He's been a good boy
cleaning up after himself, too.

Gordon Beeferman’s : MUSIC FOR AN IMAGINARY BAND

Roulette, 20 Greene Street (btwn Canal and Grand), NYC
Reservations/Tickets: 212.219.8242
Admission: $15
Harvestworks & DTW members, Students, Under 30s & Seniors: $10
Roulette members : FREE

Music for an IMAGINARY BAND, led by composer-pianist Gordon Beeferman, is a (real) 7-piece group comprised of some of New York’s most uniquely creative musicians. The band explores the territory where classical ‘new-music,’ jazz and free improvisation intersect. Beeferman’s compositions range from the gnarly to the operatic, and are both incredibly detailed and very free; the band’s intensive improvisational explorations are tethered to highly structured frameworks. The music spans varieties of melody, rhythm, and sound.

“[A] commanding avant-jazz ensemble…” Time Out New York

Gordon Beeferman - piano & compositions
Nate Wooley - trumpet
Evan Rapport - alto sax
Matt Bauder - tenor sax
Josh Sinton - baritone sax, bass clarinet
James Ilgenfritz - bass

Trouble’s a Brewin’…

Scientists and artists alike are concerned that the second meeting of
Naval Cassidy and Michael Evans might cause complete dislocation in the
space/time continuum. The first meeting nearly a month ago might have
caused spontaneous birthing from unwed mothers. Sound ripples and light
waves that emanated from these two separately have cause economic and
social disruption throughout the city. United again to face a well-daunted
public, you can smell the gray matter sizzling.

Naval Cassidy has been an instant cinema and sound performer for over
fifteen years. Working solo, or with groups like Stackable Thumb and The
Hands of Orlak, he has been a consistent presence in New York’s live video
and performance scene. Through his special blend of video performance,
Instant Cinema, Naval pulls delirious visions out of discarded broken
objects, simply by placing each one under the watchful eye of his
surveillance cameras. http://www.navalcassidy.com

blackberg/Hernandez/evans/lipton

totem : Tom Blacncarte, Andrew Drury and Bruce Eisenbeil

Blacksberg/Hernandez/Evans/Lipson is a collective ensemble that plays
improvised music. In this music, we strive to call on as much of our
personal and shared experiences in every moment. We do this to challenge
ourselves to explore our relationships with each other to find new spaces
of communication and to bring joy.

Daniel Blacksberg is a trombonist who is working inside and outside the
boundaries of jazz, creative and new music and Jewish music. He has
performed with Joe Morris, Toshi Makihara, Bobby Zankel and the Warriors
of the Wonderful Sound, Sonic Liberation Front, Taylor Ho Bynum, Gene
Coleman and many others. In the world of Jewish music, he has played with
Michael Winograd, Frank London, Aaron Alexander, Susan Watts, Michael
Alpert, Alicia Svigals, Hankus Netsky, and others in Philadelphia, New
York and Krakow, Poland.

Katt Hernandez recently moved to Philadelphia, after living in the Boston
area for nine years, playing the violin, running spaces, and producing
shows. She has collaborated with a magnificently variegated sea of
musicians, dancers, and others including- but certainly not limited to-
Joe Maneri, Zack Fuller, David Maxwell, John Voigt, Joe Burgio, Vashti
Bunyan, Eric Rosenthal, Jeff Arnal, Andrew Neumann, and Hans Rickheit. She
has twice been invited to perform on the Autumn Uprising , High Zero and
Improvised and Otherwise festivals. She has been a guest artist at MIT,
Harvard, and the New England Conservatory, performed in a vast slew of
local venues and- to date- any number of subway passages, urban grottos,
and troglyditical performace places, as well as other experimental and
life-making places throughout the Bos-Wash metropolii.

Bassist Evan Lipson draws on his varied experience as a performer to
create imaginative free improvisation. Evan has performed in a variety of
alternative ensembles. His improvisation credentials include participation
in the NoNet Festival and performing with Stuart Dempster, Andy Hayleck,
Matthias Kaul, Stanley Schumacher, Todd Whitman, Nate Wooley, Jack Wright,
and many others. Evan has received both the American Composers Forum
SUBITO grant and Meet the Composer’s Creative Connections grant. He
studied string bass with Michael Formanek and Robert Kesselman and
attended Peabody Conservatory and Temple University.
