Check out the live webcast during the show at highmayhem.org/livestream High Mayhem Emerging Arts has been Santa Fe’s base for experimental and emerging arts since 2001, and host to emerging arts festivals since 2002. Our mission has always been to challenge the homogenizing effect of pop-culture groupthink by providing opportunities for and fostering collaborations with underrepresented “experimental” artists. This November will be the final year for our annual festival/series at the Siler Lane space, after which we will focus on going back underground with pirate video show broadcasts, a weekly radio show on SomaFM in the Bay Area (http://somafm.com/, which began Oct 9), pop-up shows at other locations, and continuing to operate as a record label and produce cutting edge albums (CDs and digital downloads). Celebrate the new transition for High Mayhem at the final Fall Series at the Siler Lane space, taking place Saturdays November 1, 8, 15, and 22. *November 1 <http://highmayhem.org/event-details/fall-series-night-1-ink-on-paper-acoust…>* iNK oN pAPER <http://www.iopmusic.com/> iNK oN pAPER aCOUSTIC – is a drum, bass, and often electronics duo from Milton Villarrubia III (drums and laptop) and Carlos Santistevan (bass and electronics) who share 15 years of working together as a rhythm section in various projects. The Duo takes bass, drums and electronics to a new place. Both members often play hybridized versions of their instruments with Milton using Midi triggers on his drums to trigger and process samples using Ableton Live and Carlos using live looping and signal processing on his upright electric bass. For this set iNK oN pAPER will play an aCOUSTIC set with upright bass and drums. NO electronics/looping/triggers The result is a duo that is drags rhythm through the mud in unimaginably glorious ways. Rhonda Taylor <http://music.nmsu.edu/index.php/faculty/rhondat/home.php> Rhonda Taylor has been on faculty at New Mexico State University since 2003, where she is the College Assistant Professor of Saxophone and Music Theory. Dr. Taylor is dedicated to the creation and performance of meaningful sonic art of our time. Her recent activities include presenting a recital of late 20th century solo saxophone works at Spivey Hall in Atlanta, lecture recitals on Gérard Grisey’s Anubis et Nout at the Manuel Castillo Conservatorio Superior de Música in Sevilla, Spain, and at the Université de Montréal, as well as performances at the Group for Liquid Media’s New Music for Saxophone(s) in Rochester (NY), North American Saxophone Alliance Biennials, World Saxophone Congresses, the ThreeTwo Festival of New Music (NYC), the Bowling Green State University 20th Annual Festival of New Music and Art, the University of Minnesota Duluth New Music Festival, and the University of California San Diego Spring New Music Festival. Upcoming projects include taking part in a group commission for a new work for baritone saxophone and electronics by Nathan Davis, and she is currently working closely with Guggenheim Award winning composer Steven Takasugi on a new work for solo saxophonist and electronics to be premiered in 2013. Rhonda Taylor is a Conn-Selmer artist and plays on Selmer Paris saxophones exclusively. [image: rhonda] Bad Luck <http://badluckmusic.bandcamp.com/> Called ”powerful, virtuosic, and cutting-edge” music by All About Jazz, Bad Luck is a 10-year collaboration between Seattle drummer Chris Icasiano and saxophonist Neil Welch. With three albums under their belt, Bad Luck has created an incredibly diverse array of music—-no small feat in the heavily trodden world of drum/saxophone duos. Their melodies, improvisations and compositions are constructed from the ground up and in many cases cannot be conventionally notated on a page. Bad Luck formed out of late night drum and saxophone marathon sessions exploring Coltrane/Rashid Ali style duos and jazz standards. It was after adding live pedals and electronic effects that the unique sound profile of Bad Luck began to take shape. They were named the “Outside Jazz Group of 2011” by Earshot Jazz Magazine, and their album Two was named ”Album of the Year 2012” by the New York Jazz Review. They are Table and Chairs Music recording artists with 3 albums to their credit: Bad Luck (2009), Two (2010) and the Bloodroot EP (2012). Welch and Icasiano are founding members of the famed Racer Sessions avant-garde performance series which takes place each week in Seattle. They are also founding members of the cutting-edge record label Table and Chairs Music, which operates as a not-for-profit record label that gives 100% of its proceed to artists. Bad Luck tours extensively, having shared the stage with local bands throughout the US as well as major figures in improvised music such as saxophone legend Roscoe Mitchell, and performers Cuong Vu, Andrew D’Angelo, Wayne Horvitz, Dave King (The Bad Plus) and Chris Speed. In the Fall of 2014, Bad Luck celebrates the release of their new album Three, bringing their high-energy live set to venues and universities across the U.S. on a 35 day tour.

Memorial for Max, Sat. Oct 18
by High Mayhem Newsletter 12 Oct '14

12 Oct '14

On Saturday, October 18 at 10am friends and family will gather at High Mayhem to remember and honor the life of our dear friend, Max Friedenberg, who passed away last week. That evening, at 8pm, you are invited back to honor Max through art. We will feature recordings and videos of Max, plus we will have a backline available and invite musicians, performers and creators to bring their instruments and share their art in a glorious artistic farewell. In lieu of flowers the family asks that contributions be made to a special fund for Max' beautiful daughter, Maya Avila Rivera-Friedenberg. You may do a friends/family payment through PayPal to Rachel Rivera at rachel.rivera.art(a)gmail.com. Or, money can be transferred to a Wells Fargo account in Maya's name (contact us for details.) High Mayhem Emerging Arts is located at 2811 Siler Lane, Santa Fe NM
