*Saturday, May 8, 8pm* *JA "Dino" Deane and David Dunn - New Electroacoustic Duo** * *Santa Fe Complex, *632 Agua Fria *Tickets $10 * * *This isn't a High Mayhem show, but Dino is family....* * Utilizing new electroacoustic instruments of their own design, J.A. Deane and David Dunn present an evening of expansive sonorities that explore leading edge improvisation and scientific sonification. Combining their unique skills as significant figures in multiple contemporary music traditions (jazz, free improvisation, classical new music, electroacoustic composition, sound art, biomusic, early music, world music, and microtonal performance), this duo presents music that draws upon new understandings of both ancient and modern insights into the fundamental nature of sound to effect human consciousness. Also featured is the premiere of 4 Plus 4, an 8 channel collaborative sound piece by Philip Mantione and Martin Back. Each will precompose 4 channels of sound in a blind collaboration to be mixed live for the first time.

Straying from the typical notion of political commentary, Tsigoti delivers a clever, experimental, driving, AND fun accessible work of art that is true to the ESP mission: forward thinking and forever changing." *Personnel* For more information, visit www.highmayhem.org [image: http://highmayhem.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/tsigoti-01-300x225.jpg] *Also, for those in Albuquerque see TSIGOTI with High Mayhem’s iNK oN pAPER at the Coalmine Collective-May 15th 9pm!* *High Mayhem is partially funded by the generous contributions from The Kindle Project <http://www.kindleproject.org/>*.
