WATIV XX:Twenty Years of Silence
by High Mayhem Newsletter 15 Aug '25

15 Aug '25

Today we are pleased to release WATIV XX: Twenty Years of Silence, a 20 year retrospective to Baghdad Music Journal. The cassette release includes both Twenty Years of Silence as well as Baghdad Music Journal WATIV XX: Twenty Years of Silence is a sonic confrontation with memory and war, a 20-year audio reflection by William A. Thompson IV, a former U.S. Army counterintelligence agent deployed to Iraq in 2005. Side A, composed in 2025, explores how memory lingers not as a narrative but as signal, texture, and ghost. These new compositions are built from transcribed speech, including fragments of Southern preacher sermons and poems by Robert Frost and Walt Whitman that mourn or memorialize fallen soldiers. These texts are never directly spoken; instead, they are algorithmically transformed into music using symbolic and spectral transcription methods, including command-line tools like WAON. The resulting works are performed on the Infastain Piano, an augmented acoustic instrument designed by the artist using tactile transducers mounted to the soundboard. Side B presents a remastered archival edition of Baghdad Music Journal, the original wartime album recorded on deployment. Built from field recordings, captured Iraqi radio, and early speech-to-music experiments, it was featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and profiled in Leonardo Music Journal. The work has since been cited in Sound Targets by Jonathan Pieslak (Indiana University Press), a major study of soldiers and music in the Iraq War. Together, the two sides form a sonic palimpsest, a magnetic tape conversation across decades and states of mind, from battlefield immediacy to long-distance aftermath.

A Special Show and LP - J.A. Dino Deane - Conduction - April 27 - 3pm
by High Mayhem Newsletter 16 Apr '25

16 Apr '25

A very special show and album release What: Tribute to J.A. Dino Deane – Out of Context Album release and The Folding Space Conduction Ensemble. When: Sunday, April 27th at 3pm Where: The Outpost Performance Space, 210 Yale Blvd, SE, Albuquerque NM The Folding Space Conduction Ensemble, based in Santa Fe, NM, explores the Conduction Lexicon established by the late maestro Lawrence D. “Butch” Morris which he passed on to the great J.A. “Dino” Deane. Dino, who passed away in 2021, founded New Mexico’s Out of Context ensemble – the longest lived and deepest developed Conduction ensemble ever established. Carlos Santistevan, who played bass in and provided electronics for Out of Context for over 10 years, was gifted a deep knowledge and understanding of the works and legacy of Morris and Deane during his tenure. Shortly before his passing, Dino entrusted the archives of Out of Context to Santistevan, who has since digitized and studied over 100 rehearsals, culling from the many recordings to release a series of Out of Context LP’s to preserve Dino’s legacy. The first LP, from the High Mayhem Festival in 2006, will be released at this concert. Santistevan has also now taken up the baton to serve as Conductor so the Conduction Lexicon will remain active and vibrant as evidenced by the founding of The Folding Space Conduction Ensemble in 2024. This special tribute brings together the two ensembles in celebration of Deane’s legacy. It’s Carlos Santistevan, conductor; John Flax, text; David Forlano, electronics/ sampling; Katie Harlow, cello; Rosie Hutchison, violin; Marya Errin Jones, vox/electronics; Sean Kennedy, tuba; Keely MacKey, cello; Alex Neville, electric bass; Joseph Sabella, vibes; Catherine Sikora, sax/flute; Ben Tempchin, electric guitar; Alicia Ultan, viola; and Milton Villarrubia III, drums/ percussion. Dino’s Safe Haven Concert Series was created upon the passing in July 2021 of renowned sound designer, composer-improviser and long-time New Mexico resident, J.A. Deane (“Dino”), who bequeathed a generous gift of his “Safe Haven Tiny Home” to Outpost to support the work of like-minded artists. Tickets available at: https://tickets.holdmyticket.com/tickets/442584 OUT OF CONTEXT - Live at the High Mayhem Festival 2006 LP - High Mayhem Emerging Arts out of Santa Fe, NM is proud to release the Out of Context - Live at High Mayhem Festival 2006 LP to document the incredible legacy of the late JA “Dino” Deane in the preservation and amplification of the Conduction® Lexicon developed by Lawrence “Butch” Morris. Working with Butch since 1985, Dino led the longest and deepest exploration into the Conduction Lexicon ever with his work in Out of Context. While Butch is credited with the Lexicon, he never had the opportunity to develop the music with the same ensemble for 15 years as Deane did. Dino was also instrumental in the finalization and release of The Art Of Conduction: A Conduction Workbook to help preserve the knowledge of Conduction. This LP documents OOC in full stride at the raucous High Mayhem Festival in 2006. This is the first of 4-5 LP’s that will be released to document the arc and evolution of this groundbreaking ensemble. The Out Of Context Ensemble was founded by Dino J.A. Deane in 1997. Deane had been doing live-sampling in ensembles led by Butch Morris for 12 years (Conduction #3 Goya Time 1985 NYC). Conduction is a vocabulary of signs and gestures transmitted by a conductor to an orchestra providing instantaneous possibilities for altering or initiating harmony, melody, rhythm, articulation, phrasing or form. Deane’s goal in forming OOC was to have no goal. His intention was to work with an ensemble slowly over time allowing them to develop a deep understanding and skill with this revolutionary way of creating music. He also wanted to incorporate an actor to explore the use of text for both rhythmic and narrative possibilities. Over the course of 15 years Out Of Context performed a real-time score to the classic 1932 silent film “Peter Pan'', performed a concert at the Georgia O’Keeffe museum playing the photographs of Edward Weston, performed a concert at the Outpost Performance Space playing the book 1” = 25 Miles by Melody Sumner Carnahan, recorded a score for the film The Burden Carriers by Pierre Barrera, and created a sound design for Theater Grottesco’s play Wenomadmen. OOC also released 4 critically acclaimed recordings on Xerx and High Mayhem.

Deane. He transitioned in New Mexico with his dearest friends, Joe Sabella and Katie Harlow, at his side. Born on February 16, 1950, Deane was 71. Over a career spanning more than four decades, this multi-instrumentalist, sound-designer and conductor demonstrated a unique and innovative approach to the world of music. Dino pioneered the use of live-electronics in Indoor Life - a popular art/punk band from San Francisco during the early 1980's. He played a trombone-controlled synthesizer which emulated the sound of an electric guitar and employed a tape-echo to create loops. During the 1980’s Dino toured the world with Jon Hassell as the electro-acoustic live-sampling percussionist. That collaboration resulted in the ground-breaking Power Spot recording for ECM in 1986, produced by Brian Eno & Daniel Lanois. During that same period Dino became a close collaborator in Butch Morris's real-time composition creations called Conduction®, and in 1995 co-produced Morris's epic 10-CD box set Testament, for New World Records. Dino originated the term “live-sampling” - recording members of an ensemble while in performance, manipulating the sound, then playing back the recorded audio like an instrument. He is considered a master in this field of performance. Dino had an extensive background in composition for modern dance, having created over fifty dance/music works with his life partner, dancer/choreographer Colleen Mulvihill. He had an equally long history creating sound designs for dramatic theater, working with writer directors as diverse as Sam Shepard, Julie Hebert, Christoph Marthaler and John Flax of Theater Grottesco. Since 1995, Dino released several albums under his own name and directed the ensemble Out of Context. More than 400 hours of his compositions are being prepared for streaming release to preserve his legacy and his contributions to improvisation. In November 2020, Dino published Becoming Music - Conduction and Improvisation as forms of QiGong, which is available through Bandcamp and other stores. https://dinojadeane.bandcamp.com/merch/becoming-music-a-book-about-the-art-… His music and writings are being preserved at: https://dinojadeane.bandcamp.com/ http://jadeane.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Dino-JA-Deane-Tribute-107637254947183 For more information on Deane's contributions please contact: Cookie Marenco / Blue Coast Music at support(a)bluecoastmusic.com
