> DESCRIPTION
Music and dance performance by Berlin dancer, Yuko Kaseki and Kanoko Nishi (koto), with sets by the Wiener Kids and TrueCollapse (Charity Chan -
accordion, Karl A.D. Evangelista - guitars, Alexander Vittum:
drums/percussion & electronics). True Collapse is
a group exploration of improvisational music ideas, emphasizing the
collaborative creation of both tonal and completely denatured sonic
space. This ensemble represents a union of East Coast free jazz
sensibilities, Bay Area experimentalism, and multinational
improvisation forms (Masayuki Takayanagi/Kaoru Abe from Japan, the
Spontaneous Music Ensemble and AMM from England, and the Blue Notes
from South Africa). Wiener Kids debuts a new trio format with Cory Wright (baritone sax), Aram Shelton
(alto sax), and Jordan Glenn- drums/melodica/composition. The music is
fast and slow, loud and soft. It draws a
s much from Jan Svankmajer and Hans Bellmer as Peewee Herman and Jim
Henson. Music made by ex/current weaklings for everyone!
