F to Delancey, JMZ to Essex, B/D to Grand
$5, free pizza included! full bar availableBED OF DADDLE, the improvising duo of Gordon Beeferman and Michael Evans is a futuristic and virtuosic wild ride incorporating free jazz, avant-garde and contemporary-classical music, electronics, theatrics, and junk percussion. The duo is joined by legendary trombonist PETER ZUMMO.
Beeferman combines classical technique, improvising chops and sound design to create a compelling sound-world of fractured rhythms, post-tonal harmonic progressions, and elemental melodic structures. Evans approaches his drumset with extended techniques and investigates the fluidity of rhythm and pulse with floating structures inspired by many musical and sound traditions including the blues, free jazz, world music, noise and time travel.

New Music By Chinary Ung and Sean Heim
Thursday, March 25, 2010
8PM at Roulette
20 Greene Street (between Canal and Grand)
Thomas Buckner’s longstanding series of new music returns to Roulette in March, presenting an evening of challenging and deeply personal contemporary solo and chamber music from a distinguished and renowned elder composer and an acclaimed former protégé. Chinary Ung is the first American composer to win the highly coveted International Grawemeyer Award (sometimes called the Nobel prize for music composition). The evening’s works include Ung’s Seven Mirrors and Heim’s In The Between (Reflections On The Six Bardos), both for solo piano. Other works include Sean Heim’s Holomovements, for oboe, violin, viola, double bass, and piano, and two more solo works by Chinary Ung: Spiral XI – Mother And Child for viola (performed by Ung’s wife Susan Ung, who plays viola and also sings in this piece), and Cinnabar Heart, for solo marimba.
Cambodian-American composer Chinary Ung is noted for combining traditional Cambodian musical elements with western instrumentation. Born in Takeo, Cambodia in 1942, he became an expert in Khmer music and a master of the roneat-ek, the Cambodian xylophone. He came to the United States in 1964 where he studied clarinet at the Manhattan School of Music, and then composition with Chou Wen-Chung and Mario Davidovsky at Columbia, and with George Crumb at Tanglewood. He is Professor of Composition at the University of California, San Diego.
Born in Philadelphia in 1967, Sean Heim has developed an imaginative personal language that distills philosophical ideas and musical elements found in numerous cultures, while reflecting the compositional techniques and aesthetic of his own western musical tradition. The many aesthetic and technical abstractions in his work reflect a deep interest in the visual arts, physics, and the natural world.

From Musique Machine:
Jana Winderen – Heated
Drop a microphone down into a fault line, between rivers of bubbling earth and plates of ice grinding each other into snow, and you’d come up with something that sounds like Heated. Jana Winderen’s album for Touch, recorded live in Japan, was compiled from (according to the sleeve) a slew of sonorous location recordings in Greenland, Iceland and Norway.Maurizio Bianchi / M.B. & Maor Appelbaum – Innervation
In recent years, experimental electronics veteran Maurizio Bianchi has teamed up with a guy named Maor Appelbaum numerous times, & churned out a good number of CDs of which this is actually the first I’ve heard. I’m no stranger to Bianchi, having enjoyed a good deal of his works, & have felt sorry for the dude for all the liberties taken with his work, yet Appelbaum is entirely new to me. For the past few years he’s steadily been releasing music under a variety of monikers, but he’s been flying under my radar, it seems; it’s not as if, with a name like that (apple tree, roughly), I wouldn’t have caught on – if only I’d known.Ethernet – 144 Pulsations of Light
With a name like Ethernet (pesud. for one California native Tim Gray) and an album title like 144 Pulsations of Light, I was expecting a disc of spastic Aphex Twin glitch-hop. I was half-right: This could be a close cousin to Aphex Twin, but more the Twin of the Selected Ambient Works periods—which just happen to be favorites of mine.Endometrium Cuntplow/Sunken Landscapes – Split
This is a split between two California based noise makers/ caustic Psychedelic mood setters in the shape of Endometrium Cuntplow & Sunken Landscapes. As the covers of comicbook picture of a Merman suggests there’s more than a little aquatic & sea bound feel to the sonics with-in this CDR.Tissa Mawartyassari – Sigsaw
‘Sigaw’ offers up a live recording by Mexican HNW project Tissa Mawartyassari (aka Maria Velasquez-Soto) from a show in the Tilden Gallery in Houston Texas.

From NYTimes.com:
Whenever a composer looms large on the contemporary music scene, there is usually a choreographer lurking somewhere in the distance. In the case of Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001), the avant-garde Greek composer who was born in Romania and died in Paris, it is Luca Veggetti, an Italian who in 2008 choreographed a production of Xenakis’s opera “Oresteia” at the Miller Theater.
