Hope you are well today... as we head into autumn, here in the SFBA (22 SEP), things are picking up in the sonic spheres of life and performance opportunities, after about 2.5 years sheltering-in-place (for the most part) since this 2020 pandemic arrival. Hope to see you this Thursday (22 SEP), in San Francisco or online worldwide, as I present a special solo Moog Rogue analog synthesiser set (20 minutes) at Resident Electronic Music. Also, checkout Climbing Sonic Treetops, from 7 AUG at μHausen 2022.

...Sunday night brought us zBug, an improvising ensemble led by David Leikam featuring saxophonist Patrick Cress, trumpeter Doug Ellington, and drummer Timothy Orr, accompanied by Christina Braun, a dancer from the Butoh tradition who has chops and a mind of her own. She skirted the boundaries of the players, dancing into their midst with humor and agility as the players began by marking their territory and roles until the midway point when things achieved coherence, real flow, and active interplay. The chance to hear both a seasoned group like Rova:Arts and zBug, a group that intentionally shifts personnel in every performance, gave this listener the sense of an arc that begins with a first meeting and reflects the rewards ensembles achieve with forty years of hard work and dedication. It’s also indicative of Romus’s intention to provide listeners with the full breadth of the improvised music experience.
“The Outsound Music Summit was held from July 29–August 1 in Berkeley, California. Recordings of the performances can be streamed on Youtube.”
