[HvEXAS] tonight! the official unofficial troy night out afterparty | fri. 02/29 from 9 pm to 3 am | daisy baker's, troy, ny

Tonight is a big night of anniversaries in Troy.  Be sure to check out the *Official* Troy Night Out Gala and Art Auction at the Atrium in downtown Troy, from 5-9pm. 
www.troynightout.org

Also, Brown's Brewery is holding a celebration for their 15th year of dependable ales and lagers.  They'll have a special beer on tap to commemorate the anniversary (but how can it beat the ESB?  or the Dunkleweizen?  Or the Pilsner?  Or the Hefe?).  www.brownsbrewery.com

Last, we've put up a dj set from the Valentine's Party we did on the 15th.  Check it here and get in the mood for tonight!

The Official Unofficial Troy Night Out Afterparty
(presented by Goodship)

Friday, February 29, 2008
9 pm to 3 am
Daisy Baker's (upstairs + downstairs!)
33 2nd Street, Troy, New York
FREE / got to be 18 to get in (ID required)

You get the whole deal with leap year, right?  The day does not
exist.  I mean, think about it: is there is February 29th 2007 or
2009?  No!  And given that I can apparently not see a more than a
year in either direction, the case is closed.  The verdict?  If a day
does not exist, then there is nothing stopping you from going all-
out, full-on, over-the-top YOW crazy.  I'm talking mayhem on a
biblical level (though no felonies or plagues, please) - and, as
always, the bad people at goodship are available to facilitate said
mayhem.  Come celebrate the one year anniversary of Troy Night Out,
then check out the infamously famous afterparty, which will be
happening on both levels of Daisy Baker's.  Downstairs?  Music and
revelry with access to the newly opened pizza + pasta place (get me a
pie with spinach on it, popeye).  Upstairs?  Well, it is not called
"hoopla" for nothing.  Now point me at the sky...

the sound:

pelham123 (the man, the myth, the bigamist - i mean, DJ)
thejessestiles3000+ (if by plus, you mean minus, then awesome)
jenkins (from the civil war and back to your earholes)
back from japan (will spin for malarky)
... plus potentially a guest or two (martha rae apparently became a
DJ recently - so we are leaving the door open) ...

and the fury - i mean, the video:

color commentary (pushing buttons for the cause)
fielderblank (pushing the cause on buttons - vote blurry)
skfl (more psychedelic than pretentious, but why split hairs?)
... plus potentially a guest or two (martha rae apparently became a
VJ recently - so we are leaving the door open) ...

p.s. Mark your calendars for Friday 04/25, as tittsworth will be
returning to Rev. Hall!

p.p.s. Happy Birthday, Troy Night Out!  Here's to many more...

[HvEXAS] ASAC @ UAG, 02.16: The GREAT SNOWBALL Tour.

ALBANY SONIC ARTS COLLECTIVE
                        presents
 
     THE GREAT SNOWBALL TOUR
 
ANDREA NEUMANN (innenklavier, Berlin)

JACK WRIGHT (saxophones, Easton PA)
 
MICHAEL T. BULLOCK (contrabass, Troy)
 
                   also:
 
ALEX CHECHILE (guitar, Troy)
 
JEFFERSON PITCHER (guitar, Troy)
 
Upstate Artists Guild  247 Lark St. Albany, NY
    Saturday Feb. 16, 2008
  Doors at 7 pm: show at 7:30
$5 suggested donation at the door
 
As the snowball rolls around the east coast it picks up players who then melt off, and new additions are joined.  In the words of Jack Wright: "This is the idealistic version of free improvisation, that wants never to think that our individual projects of aesthetic adventure can be separated from the generous spirit of community.  So in that spirit please share the information of this series with others, with your mailing lists and friends."
 
Jack is quite literally one of the busiest improvisers in the world.  I'd say "he's played with everyone," but he somehow keeps finding people he hasn't played with - then he plays with them.  Through his efforts he's brought together countless musicians across many scenes - large and small, domestic and foreign - and taught a lot of people that if you play improvised music, or just like it a lot, you are far from alone.  
 
Andrea operates at the heart of Berlin's hotbed of improvised electro-acoustic music, which in its turn is a vital organ of the global electro-acoustic music scene.  Her instrument, the innenklavier, is a scale model of the insides of a grand piano (no keyboard), which she amplifies and plays with her hands and other objects.  Imagine if "prepared piano" stopped apologizing for being a piano, graduated, and started its own company.  Scratch that - its own country.
 
More on the musicians:
 
Andrea Neumann: Born 1968 in Freiburg, grew up in Hamburg. Since 1996 primarily active as improviser and composer in the areas of experimental and new music. In the process of exploring the piano for new sound possibilities, she has reduced the instrument to strings, resonance board and metal frame. With the help of electronics to manipulate and amplify the sounds (sometimes to make parts of the sound audible which are inaudible without amplification), she has developed numerous new playing techniques, sounds, and ways of preparing the dismantled instrument. Because the original inside piano is very heavy, a piano builder (Bernd Bittmann, Berlin) constructed a new and lighter one for her. She has worked intensively in the crossover area between composition and improvisation, and in the field between electronic and handmade sounds, with Berlin musicians such as Annette Krebs, Ignaz Schick, Axel DĂśrner, Robin Hayward and Burkhard Beins.
 
Jack Wright began playing saxophone in 1952, and after eight years quit to pursue an academic life. After turning to political activism in the late sixties, he began again in 1979, and has been touring the US and Europe since 1983. He created Spring Garden Music as a vehicle for organizing an improvisational music community, and is still active in encouraging the improvised music scene in Phila. He currently plays with about fifty partners in Europe and the US, bringing European musicians to the US for collaborations with Americans. He was originally focused on free jazz and now largely uses the instrument simply to play with sound. These days he is playing mostly alto and soprano saxophones, and as a musical explorer his music ranges widely in vocabulary, depending on the situation and partners. He lives in Easton, which enables him to commute easily to NYC and Philadelphia. He has released 35 recordings, samples of which are available at his website:www.springgardenmusic.com
 
Michael T. Bullock is a composer, sound artist and visual artist based in Troy NY.   The range of his work includes contrabass, banjo, video instrumentalism, and illustration.  Bullock performs across the entire US and in Europe, collaborating with a huge range of artists, including Pauline Oliveros, Christian Wolff, Steve Roden, Bhob Rainey and Greg Kelley of nmperign, Mazen Kerbaj and Theodore Bikel.  
 
His groundbreaking solo contrabass playing has brought him to medieval chapels and the side of a mountain.  He performs bass, computer music, feedback and video in myriad settings: with the BSC, an octet of Boston-based improvisers; as the trio MAWJA with Kerbaj and Vic Rawlings; and in the multidisciplinary duo rise set twilight.  Bullock is the founder of ChloĂŤ Recordings.  He is currently a doctoral candidate in the Arts Department at RPI in Troy, where he researches noise, feedback, and non-idiomatic music cultures.  http://www.finenoiseandlight.net/
 
Alex Chechile (b.1980, Boston, MA) is a composer, improviser, and interdisciplinary media artist who is currently working to explore and utilize the relationship between human physiology and the act of musical creation by developing homemade biofeedback music performance systems. He received a BA in Composition and Theory from Tufts University in 2003, and is presently finishing an MFA in the Electronic Arts at Rensselaer in Troy, NY.
 
An avid performer of music with improvisation at its core, Alex has played in a variety of ensembles ranging from New Music to Noise, Javanese Gamelan, and West African Drumming, and is frequently performing with Pauline Oliveros both in and out of Tintinnabulate.  His previous work includes compositions for acoustic chamber ensembles, electro-acoustic configurations, as well as installations, video pieces, and stop-motion animation. His work has been shown in festivals both stateside and abroad.
 
Jefferson Pitcher (b. Redwood City, CA, 1972) is a composer, improviser, sound and video artist from Northern California. He plays primarily electric guitar, making sounds like birds, boats, engines and whales gliding in and out of a dense fog. Although much of his work explores feedback and prepared guitar, he also draws heavily from his love for melody, the simplicity of minimalist composers, and a long history of performing and recording in the west coast indie-rock scene as a singer-songwriter, where he fronted the band Above the Orange Trees. During his teens, Pitcher was immersed in the San Francisco Bay Area punk scene, playing in bands and attending volunteer meetings at the now legendary 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley. He was deeply influenced by the DIY philosophy, and the clean, simple melodies of the music, both of which extend into his work today.  http://www.jeffpitcher.com/

[HvEXAS] TONIGHT! :::: Monday Social @ Revolution Hall :::: Scooby, Jenkins, back from japan

Revolution Hall, Massive Audio, and Goodship have joined forces to bring you a weekly lounge night to help you recover from your post weekend case of the mondays. Every week you'll find 3 of the regions DJ's getting their chill on, with some twists and turns along the way. When have you ever seen Jenkins play lounge music anyway?

Join us in the transformed front half of Rev Hall for a nice, not so quiet (and not so loud) evening of music and friends.


Monday Social
Every Monday @ Revolution Hall
8:30 - 1:30

This week, Monday Feb 4th, 2008

Scooby - regional tastemaker. if you don't know this guy.....
Jenkins - Currently going through a big band phase....
back from japan - he's got Mary Jane Girls on repeat, All Night Long
At some point there will be a $5 cover charge, but it will come with a free beer, so it's all good... sounds to me like they are trying to make sure you get tipsy enough to take one of the staff home... tricky.

Joseph Zemann's Language of Line


New Yorker Joseph Zemann's works often feature Jazz-inspired motifs and unconventional media, such as caulk, which he employs for his textural and gestural narratives. Zemann is a painter in every sense of the word and has been for more than two decades. He was educated in England as a decorative painter and owns his own house painting company. Most importantly, however, he's been privately honing his voice as an abstract painter and wielding the tools of his trade to conjure a variety of spaces and experiences. This musician, father, and life-long New York City resident invites you into his studio for a fresh look at the language of line.
