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.
