Phog masheeen will be there projecting on a wall by the alley between Broadway and First St. on Linden Ave.
The Soundwalk starts at 5PM and Goes till 10PM. It is FREE!
I strongly recommend this event. More fun than is belivable for the cost of parking.

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

Links to phog masheeen & Frank Moore and company Jam!

I got this note from Linda Mac with links to a Jam I did in Berkeley with Frank, Erika and Jen.

I find that jamming with these folks will really get me to move off my dime and explore some new territory. I love their approach. Check it out if you have time.
