Memory Spaces: Electroacoustic Music by Nathan Davis
Composer and percussionist Nathan Davis (NYC) makes music that is inspired by American experimentalism,
Balinese gamelan, and by a fascination with sound and the natural world. The program will include solos with live processing
for triangles, river stones, amplified computer, and alto flute (performed by Claire Chase), and a cello and hammered dulcimer
duo for Odd Appetite (with cellist Ha-Yang Kim). These pieces explore remembered spaces of wonder, panic, beauty,
claustrophobia, and transformation.

ong ago in a tiny cabin two young aliens found that more than re-wiring motherboards, they liked writing music together. music
whose individual contributions are indistinguishable from the finished concept. music of beats and peaks, low end and delicacy.
sometimes they sang, sometimes the music was enough.
"For two people, EMMA makes an unbelievable sound and fury."

Having studied and performed with highly respected musicians in Europe, she now showcases her unique vocal abilities among New York’s jazz elite. Her voice is a distinctive instrument in its own right, capable of navigating the most complex phrases and sophisticated harmonies.

ENTERTAINING SCIENCE -- COLTRANE, EINSTEIN, AND COSMOLOGY 2
Roald Hoffmann
Stephon Alexander, saxophone & cosmology;
Robert Rowe, composer and music theorist
|
|
|
Channelling the Sound of the Cosmos with cosmologist and sax player Stephon Alexander and his trio. Plus, the interactive musical systems of Robert Rowe, composer and music theorist.
Ever since the discovery of the 'quantum fluctuations' in the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation in the early nineties, people have tried to figure out how the primordial structures in the universe emerged from 'nothing'. Stephon Alexander, a cosmologist at Penn State as well as a superb sax player and composer, will explore with us the origin and persistence of large scale structure formation in the universe. And, with his group, reinterpret this process through jazz improvisation, resonance and rhythm.
He will be paired with composer and NYU music theorist Robert Rowe, whose work has two main strands: the programming of music composition and improvisation, and interactive music systems, in which composition is influenced by a machine analysis of human musical expression during live performance. If you will, a search for large- and small-scale structure formation in improvised and composed music over time.

HARRI STOJKA: A TRIBUTE TO GIPSY SWING
Harri Stojka, guitar
|
.jpg)
|
Swing at its best:
Harmonies and runs, vivacity and fine sounds tied together in a bouquet of great variety, played with virtuosity, feeling and
joy.
The themes are clear, no matter how much leeway there is for improvisation.
Staccato or well-tempered, tempos are always characterised by lightness.
The band is homogenous, a perfect formula.
Nothing to be added, this is rhythm and swing!
Werner Elsnig
Harri Stojka about his CD:
I love “old-fashioned jazz music”. I have always been fascinated with jazz music from the 1930ies and 1940ies. The
carefree, nimble way in which the virtuoso soloists play flowing melodies, the “old-fashioned” harmonic structures – seemingly
simple, and yet so difficult!
On this CD I play on a wonderful, magical (my wonderful, magical) gypsy jazz guitar – a Joseph di Mauro, built in Paris in
’87 – playing this music on such an instrument is always an experience beyond compare ... a fantastic journey back to a time
when jazz was most intense, purest, greatest, at least for me!!
