Placard Tonight, Noisefest next weekend!

For those of you that missed Soundwalk 2009 there is much documentation on youtube.

Today I went on the Placard headphone fest site and found out that there is a headphone fest today!

I signed up to stream in at 10:10 pm from the "Coastal Lair" studio in fabulous Costa Mesa to the Festival in Dijon France.

You can find the address on the placard chat. Check it out if you have time.

Next weekend is the NorCal Noisefest! This is the premier noise event in the great state of California.

Bill and I are heading up to perform on Saturday afternoon (before the dinner break) if you are anywhere around Sacramento check it out!

Disney Hall and all...

So I managed to perform at Disney Hall in Los Angeles on Sept. 26th. It was with the GYCB Jazz Combo.

A supersized combo to be sure.

I did remain standing for two choruses of "Song For My Father" by Horace Silver.

It was a moment.

Desert Experimental Rocks the Wasteland!

Once again the Palms in Wonder Valley proves it self to be the most adaptable venue in the known world! Where else can you get the Desert songs of the Sibleys followed by the angry screeching of UEM! Amazing! And Wonderful!

As illustrated to the right, +DOG+ performed with the legendary Bobby!

Bobby also turned in an excellent set with the Duo Liver Cancer!

The weather was mild and the sets started around 4 pm.

A big thank you to Steve Davis for putting Desert experimental together. It was the best use of August in the desert that I know of!

Desert Experimental, This Saturday 8-22-09, The Palms in Wonder Valley. Bring water, redbull, sunblock, liquor, guns and ammo (hmmm, not so much guns and ammo). Be ready to sleep where you lay down. There will be sun and heat in large quantities. Be Prepared! CU There!

North on Thursday...

I am playing a festive gig at the Luggage Store Gallery in San Francisco on Thursday night. This promises to be a festive evening of experimental music. Here is the Description:

Thursday, Aug 13 2009 8:00 PM

Guest Curation by CJ Borosque
Intersections and connections:
The 8 ball evening: kicking off the series "BEHIND THE 8"
A show about making connections between artists of radically different musical traditions...
Phogmasheen (trumpet, FX)
Jim Kaiser (bicycle wheel)
CJ Borosque (trumpet, FX)
and Arachnid Arcade (noise FX)

The first set will be a duo between Arachnid Arcade and CJ Borosque. Two noise artists who have never shared the stage.
The music will be spontaneously composed and will be about 25 mins...
The second set will be an orchestra of never-played-together-before musicians.

The set will be 30 to 40 mins
and will be a meditation on a video that will be unveiled the night of the performance.
The musicians will provide an ambient noise score, to go with the film, that will be unrehearsed and unpredicted in outcomes, as radically different players from different tradition create music to accompany visual media they have never seen. Surprise is the name of the game.

If you are in the city, come on down!

1007 Market St.
@ 6th Street
San Francisco California 94103 USA
