SUMMARY:The Geryon Trio (Johanna Poehig + Chris Brown + Rafi Garabedian)Dana Reason + Philip Gelb + Kyle Bruckman
DESCRIPTION:The Geryon Trio performs Random Ruminations. Drawing on themes of absurdity\, chance\, and fluidity\, JOHANNA POETHIG’S text\, image\, and oracle project intersects with an aleatoric performance by CHRIS BROWN and RAFFI GARABEDIAN to form a collaborative exploration of chance\, divination\, and spontaneous creation. Prompted by Lyn Hejinian’s inquiry into constructive absurdity\, Poethig weaves together texts\, images\, and casting cards that probe human attempts to forecast the future through magic\, gambling\, and mechanized search tools. Her work merges with Brown’s electronic composition “Geryon”—a three-headed musical model that uses software to randomly sample\, process\, and redistribute the musicians’ live acoustic improvisations back through three speakers. Featuring Brown’s interactive electronic instrumentation alongside Garabedian’s dedicated tenor saxophone improvisation\, the joint project creates a resonant\, chaotic feedback loop blending history\, prediction\, and musical multiplicity. \nDANA REASON (piano). PHILIP GELB (shakuhachi/electronics)\, and KYLE BRUCKMANN (oboe/electronics) premiere a new trio uniting three veterans of the international improvised music scene. Dana Reason and Philip Gelb bring decades of shared synergy to the stage\, drawing on a rich collaborative history rooted in their celebrated trio with avant-garde pioneer and mentor Pauline Oliveros. They are joined by master double-reedist Kyle Bruckmann\, a frequent collaborator whose distinct sonic voice completes this powerful new ensemble.

SUMMARY:Marguerite BrownDiane Grubbe : Glissano Flute Project
DESCRIPTION:The Glissando Flute is a normal orchestral flute with Robert Dick’s invention\, the “Glissando Headjoint®” (inspired by the electric guitar’s “whammy bar”)\, making the flute more flexible and liquid. Long-time sfSound flutist DIANE GRUBBE has asked six Bay Area composers to let their creative energy go wild with the possibilities of the instrument and her arsenal of extended flute techniques. These renowned Bay Area composer/improvisers are STEVE ADAMS\, KYLE BRUCKMANN\, MATT INGALLS\, BRENT MILLER\, WENDY REID and MONICA SCOTT. A group improv with Diane and all the composers will follow the premieres. \nComposer/performer MARGUERITE BROWN\, presents tuning to\, a solo performance exploring the electric guitar as a celestial body using a curated set of planetary tuning forks\, hardware\, and unconventional performance techniques. The project seeks to explore the intersection of vibration\, resonance\, and cosmic frequencies as a means of expanding the electric guitar’s sonic and conceptual possibilities.
