by High Mayhem Newsletter 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Fronteras Assembled: A workshop with Thollem McDonas Saturday, February 27 from 1-5pm Sunday, February 27 from 1-5pm Performance on Sunday, February 27 from 7-8pm High Mayhem Studio, 2811 Siler Lane, Santa Fe NM Workshop Cost: donation to support High Mayhem Performance Cost: $10 suggested donation at the door This is a workshop for all levels of musicians. Spaces are limited. To sign up, please email press(a)highmayhem.org Workshop details From his work with Estamos Ensemble in the U.S./Mexico and his workshops on listening and large ensemble improvisation, Thollem McDonas continues with Fronteras Assembled: structured improvisations based on the social/political dynamics that all the various situations of geo-political borders create. These are musical meditations on real-life situations that are constantly affecting the way we perceive and interact with our fellow human beings within and across the borders of the world. They are also structures that create unique musical challenges for large ensembles especially in an improvised setting that can potentially lead to fresh discoveries of music-making and relationships among individuals in an ensemble. For further information regarding workshops: www.thollem.com/workshops About Thollem McDonas Thollem's extensive travels as a performer have covered much of the North American continent and Europe. In the past 6 years he has added 20 albums to his discography on 9 different vanguard  labels in 4 different countries. His music is diverse, approaching each album and concert uniquely, often resulting in dramatically new and different outcomes. Not long after birth Thollem began studying the keyboard repertoire from the medieval to the 20th century. After graduating with degrees in both piano performance and composition he dedicated his time for years in grassroots political and environmental movements before returning to his own music with his full focus. He is currently touring perpetually as a soloist, in collaboration with many other individuals and groups as well as leading large ensemble free improvisation workshops. Thollem has performed in theaters, art galleries, universities, elementary schools, concert halls, jazz clubs, rock clubs, festivals, warehouses, house concerts, streets, forests, riots and on television, radio and the internet. He has performed piano concertos with symphonies, played in West African drumming troupes, Javanese gamelan ensembles, punk bands, with hundreds of free improv groups, and as an accompanist and a composer for opera and modern dance. “Thollem’s keyboard flights unleash cascades of notes of seemingly impossible velocity and no matter where he goes tonally, it always seems right, fresh and satisfying.” – Terry Riley, 2010 Recent Awards: Meet the Composer: Creative Connections, 2007 Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation: USArtists, 2009 - Estamos Ensemble, Director American Music Center: CAP, 2010 - 'Stirring Awake' debuted at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Duo partners from last couple of years not in order of importance: Stefano Scodanibbio, Rent Romus, Alex Cline, Amy Denio, Faruq Z.

KaiBorg employs real-time interactive strategies from jazz and improvised music within the expanded sonic palette and space made possible by the use of live electronics. Their goal is to create hybrid instruments with which they have the same intimate feedback relationship as our traditional acoustic ones. KaiBorg performances aim to sonically foreground the cybernetic processes of feedback, interconnection, communication and emergence. KaiBorg has performed at STEIM (Studio for Electro-Instrumental Music) in Amsterdam and at The University of Göteborg and the Brötznow club in Sweden, at NWEAMO (NorthWest Electro-Acoustic Music Orgnaization) in San Diego, the UC Institute for Research in the Arts "State of the Art" festival in Riverside, at the 2008 International Society for Improvised Music in the Lamont School of Music, University of Denver, Colorado, Palomar College Concert Series, INCUBATOR at UCSD and for the three nights of concerts celebrating the opening of the Conrad Prebys Music Center at UCSD. Jeff Kaiser is a trumpet player, multi-media artist and PhD student in the Integrative Studies Program (music) at UCSD. He is the founder and owner of the pfMENTUM and Angry Vegan record labels. Jeff has released numerous albums as leader/co-leader, as well as been a featured performing artist at festivals, universities, clubs and concert halls around the U.S. and abroad. David Borgo is a saxophonist, multi-media artist, ethnomusicologist, and Associate Professor of Music at UCSD in the Integrative Studies Program. He has released five CDs and one DVD as a leader, and his book, Sync or Swarm: Improvising Music in a Complex Age, won the Alan P. Merriam Prize from the Society for Ethnomusicology in 2006 as the most distinguished book published during the previous year.* * * *[image: https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=ee7af639ad&view=att&th=12cfa9b359f0bd…] * * * * ABOUT The Proxemics: LINK: http://www.highmayhem.org/ LINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mLfMEoFaJ0 LINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08BinyM_Wy8 A revolving cast of musicians led by lynch pin and High Mayhem member Alex Neville in a dizzying array of musical styles from hard hitting, angular rock to deconstructed ballads.

*Legendary Pink Dots* * * *Friday, November 12 at 9pm* * Corazon, 401 Guadalupe, Santa Fe* * * *$8 advance tickets, $12 at the door* * * Advance tickets will be available Mon, Nov 8th at The Candyman, http://www.corazonsantafe.com/ or by calling Hold My Ticket at 505 886-1251 The Process is proud to present: The Legendary Pink Dots this Friday, Nov 12th for their 30th Anniversary tour! This truly iconic and groundbreaking band will be performing in Santa Fe for the first time and should not be missed! Plus, after the band, stay and listen to DJ Bodyslut and dance till they shut down the place! The Legendary Pink Dots are touring for their 30th Anniversary as icons of the alternative, post-punk, electronic and avant-garde rock scenes. Their music touches on elements of neo-psychedelia, industrial, psych-folk, synth-pop, post-punk, progressive jazz and goth rock. LPD's sound has evolved over time and remains distinctive, making it difficult to place the group into a concise style or genre. Edward Ka-Spel's distinct lyrics and singing have earned them comparisons to Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett. The group has ties to and have collaborated with the likes of Can, Faust, cEvin Key, Magma, Neu!, Nurse With Wound and Current 93.
