Jack Wright: Saxes

Evan Lipson: Double Bass

Jack and Evan have been musically connected ever since the mid-2000's when Evan lived in Jack's Spring Garden Music House in Philadelphia.
They've toured frequently together throughout the Midwest and Southeast as Wrest with Ben Bennett, and more recently with Zach Darrup as Roughhousing, whose most recent tour was April 2018.
The two recorded this with drummer Chris Davis in Nashville July 2017.

On their West Coast tour in Feb. 2018, they performed in Vancouver, at the Seattle Festival of Improvised Music, in Olympia, Portland, Corvalis, Eugene, Arcata, Grass Valley, San Francisco, Bezerkely and Oakland.

They will be collaborating with numerous musicians en route, among them Dylan van der Schyff, Torsten Muller, Greg Kelley, Mark Kaylor, Doug Theriault, Tom Djll, Tim Perkis, Bryan Day and Gino Robair.

Their next tour will be November 2018 in Europe: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Ghent, Cologne, Hamburg, Copenhagen, various cities in Finland and others.


Bios:
Jack Wright (b. 1942) is a saxophone extremist, dedicated to to free playing since 1979.

Described twenty years ago as an "undergrounder by design," he is a veteran improviser based mainly in Philadelphia.
He has played mostly on tour through the US and Europe since the early 80s in search of interesting partners and playing situations. Now at 75 he is still the "Johnny Appleseed of Free Improvisation," as guitarist Davey Williams called him in the 80s, on the road as much as ever.
He continues to inspire players outside music-school careerdom, playing sessions with visiting and resident players old and new. His partners over the years are mostly unknown to the music press, and too numerous to mention.
He's said to have the widest vocabulary of any saxophonist, including leaping pitches, punchy, precise timing, sharp and intrusive multiphonics, surprising gaps of silence, and obscene animalistic sounds.
He was interviewed recently by Cadence Magazine (p. 55-73), but for a true assessment of his and his partners music and for links to his writings go here: Spring Garden Music,


Evan Lipson (b. 1981) has operated as a musician since adolescence—intuitively seeking the liminal realms in which intellect and instinct, history and myth, and creative and destructive force intersect.
Drawn towards aberrant perspectives at an early age, his formative experiences were primarily rooted in extreme and often discordant forms of rock, metal, free improvisation, modernist composition, jazz, oddball pop, soundtracks, noise, and electronic music.
Massimo Ricci, of Touching Extremes writes, "Lipson easily stands among the best bassists I've heard lately, his terrifically strapping tone epitomizing the decision to really learn how an instrument works."
Lipson most frequently tours with Roughhousing (including Zach Darrup and Jack Wright).
He is also active with Who's Your Daddy? featuring dancer Cilla Vee/Claire Elizabeth Barratt and guitarist Davey Williams.
Lipson has composed music for several films, as well as a recent collaboration with Duplex Planet-creator David Greenberger, Tyson Rogers, and Bob Stagner of the Shaking Ray Levis.
He also may or may not have some degree of affiliation with an organization known as MEINSCHAFT. For links to his music and more info on his partners over the years go here.


Selection from their CD Careening Down the Left Coast, recorded in San Francisco on their West Coast tour Feb. 2018

Ce vendredi à Bruxelles, venez ou passez parole, merci!

"Chers amis,
ce Vendredi 12 Octobre à 20h

L'Haekem Thêatre de Bruxelles présente la première:

"Démonstration pratique de pourquoi 

on est tous bâtis comme des montagnes"

de Tuia Cherici


menée par des objets
sus l'oeil d'une caméra
à son tour projetée sur grand-écran
sus l'oeil des spectateurs
à leur tour participants
à la manipulation
au discours polyglotte
au chant
aux questions
de Tuia
sur la plasticité géophysique de la mémoire.

La mémoire n'est pas un petit lieu de stockage placé dans notre cerveau
Elle est plutôt une action créatrice qui n'arrête jamais de transformer la réalité.

Elle fourmille et bout par tout dans notre corps
en façonnant l'identité de toute chose
et de nous même

Cela dit, cette démonstration mènera complètement par d'autres chemins et il sera difficile de ne pas s'y perdre...
Venez tous, amenez vos trous de mémoire à remplir de doutes ,
diffusez l'événement et faites venir d'autres gens encore et encore, ouii!!


Car je viens de loin, de Marseille, je me suis renfermée travaillant tout seule dans l'Haekem pour 11 jours sans cesse pour vous offrir cette expérience participative inédite, et si jamais ça marche, ça se peut seulement avec vous!"

Cordialement,
Tuia Cherici

Molecules Improvisation

„One. Singularity. Big bang. Incarnation. The first breath. One possibility. An infinite universe from one possibility. Unity.“

That’s how the Zurich based composer & improviser Tobias Meier describes the first part of his piece „Molecules“, which he composed exclusively for the Gamut Kollektiv.

It can be called a modular composition, consisting of twelve parts and giving the seven musicians the freedom to always chose what and when to play (or not to play).

These twelve elements coexist in this molecular universe, contrasting each other, blending together, at times in a concrete and distinctive way, at times sounding like a distant memory or an abstract thought.
The piece brings a strong collectiveness to light, at the same time allowing every musician to actively shape the piece - making it sound different and unique every time.

To finish in Tobias Meier’s words: „Molecules evolves as a possible universe that expands after the big bang, decelerates and almost comes to a standstill at the point of maximum expansion, then contracts again, accelerates and eventually ends in a singularity once more.„

Forewords


"The Gamut Collective stands for research, the unfinished, pieces in motion, progress; it is a breeding ground for ideas, experiments and processes.

Like musician’s initiatives from Berlin, Cologne, Vienna, Graz and Berne, the Gamut Collective wants to open up suitable spaces in Zurich and acts as a zone for communication between different musicians and artists coming from diverse stylistic and geographical origins.

The collective consists of seven young musicians from Zurich, who express themselves freely in their own music and, through their (mutual) exchange, create an agile collaboration and dynamic: a musicians’ pool, which is held together and supported by a shared artistic vision.
In addition to the annual Gamut Festival, the Gamut Collective also runs a concert series which creates an individual platform involving improvising musicians with every concert.

Each concert takes place at a different and unique place; hence, the collaboration with various scenes is being supported and conceptually integrated in new ways.
Furthermore in the fall of 2018 their Edition Gamut will be launched with two publications."

Swiss Zimmerman Trio + Dancer! Sat 23 Jun 8PM




International renowned Trio ‘Zimmerlin Stoffner Meier’, origin Swiss, will perform together with the dancer Maja Zimmerlin at Haekem, Sat June 23th.


Bringing their four instruments together they will be creating a dense fusion of sound and movement:

A tremendous Improvised Event You can't afford to miss!

Gerard

Alfred Zimmerlin (e-cello) 
Flo Stoffner (e-guitar)
David Meier (drums)
Maja Zimmerlin (dance)


“Letting loose is the driving force of this comprehensive generational trio that jettisons and unleashes, with symbiotically spontaneous reactions and a delicate feel for what the music offers in the moment, the yet to be heard.
In this formation the three daring improvisationalists fare range from atonal, expressive chamber music to a multilayered onomatopoeia captured as an interplay breathing between density and lightness. (Flo Keller)”

Set #1 Parallel Asteroid
Cao Thanh Lan (VN): Analog Synthesizer

Gregor Siedl (AT): Clarinet, Gamecalls

Electro-acoustic composition and improvisation for saxophone, gamecalls and 

analogue synthesizer

Parallel Asteroid connects experimental, acoustic and electronic sounds with the aesthetics of contemporary music.


Their work is a research into the relationship between electronic and organic sounds. 
The synthesizer with its super-human capabilities extends, blends in and sometimes hides inside the acoustic heart, while the clarinet/saxophone brings the human vitality and organic texture to the sound combination.

The musicians are the Vietnamese pianist and synthesizer player – Cao Thanh Lan and Gregor Siedl from Austria on clarinet/saxophone, gamecalls and tubes.

Parallel Asteroid have been touring extensively in Europe, Japan, Brazil, China, Taiwan and Vietnam.
This concert is kindly supported by Österreichisches Kulturforum Brüssel.

Set #2 Violin+

Dejana Sekulic (RS) concept performance with Gilles Doneux (BE)

Temporality of the Impossible:
Violin+ explores some of the curious, exciting, peculiar, adventurous music and wondrous sonar worlds of pieces for prepared violin and violin with performative electronics.

In the later, the duo explores roles of instruments and performer, of acoustic and electronic, of characteristics and sound, playing with actions, interactions and hierarchies.

**How impossible is the “impossible”? The lasting curiosity of composers in
exploring expression through music continues the legacy of creating pieces that are
fresh, “new” and challenging not only for listening, but also to artistry of playing.
Subsequently, performers continue to be challenged by these pieces demanding
unconventional approaches.

“Temporality of the Impossible” focuses on these challenges, and addresses two important and inseparable parts of music and performance: the tangible and the abstract.**

Oda and Tyge are not only a married couple, but they also have a long history of performing together in various ensembles.

Sarah and Jonathan have shared some intense musical moments when improvising with dance and music.
