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 15 <http://highmayhem.org/event-details/high-mayhem-fall-series-night-3/> - **A Night of Solos and a Duo* *Axle Contemporary* <http://www.axleart.com/index/Home.html> Axle Contemporary returns for another night at High Mayhem. Housed in the back of a custom retrofitted 1970 aluminum stepvan, Axle Contemporary is an art gallery on wheels. Their 6' x 10' exhibition space features high wood ceilings, exposed beams, track lighting and a magnetically based system for displaying unframed works on paper. Axle Contemporary was founded in 2010 by artists Matthew Chase-Daniel and Jerry Wellman, as a collaborative work of art, and an innovative vehicle for arts distribution. It has since grown beyond the confines of the mobile exhibition space, and also includes book publishing, and alternative methods of creation and dissemination of contemporary arts in the public sphere. *The Proxemics* <http://highmayhem.org/artists/music/the-proxemics/> Founded in early 2009, The Proxemics are an autonomous music project with a revolving cast of musicians led by lynch pin and frontman Alex Neville (The brilliant Dullards, A. Barnhouse, Audible Whispering 1/2 Quartet). The Proxemics are a stripped down assembly, sometimes appearing as a garage-based, dirty wall of sound, sometimes as deconstructed balladeers offering you their hearts on their sleeves. Neville unites crunchy, angular alt-rock with a singer-songwriter sensibility while never letting go of his experimental roots. Mimicking the definition of their moniker, The Proxemics are at times both distant and intimate, treating their audience to an emotional tug-of-war. The songs appear effortless on the surface, but upon deeper investigation they become a complex system of asymmetrical forms with sonic threads and noise, weaving songs into a larger, continuous theme.

His teaching specialties include composition, music technology, theory, and choral music. Dr. Paxton is an experienced music educator at both the college and high school levels and, before coming to Santa Fe, was chair of the Music Theory/Composition division in the School of Music at Texas Tech University. His former students are active as composers, performers, sound designers, inter-arts collaborators, teachers, and musical entrepreneurs throughout the United States and around the world. Dr. Paxton was a 1988 recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Composers Fellowship and has also received fellowships and commissions from The Helene Wurlitzer Foundation of New Mexico, the American College Theater Festival, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, the Lubbock Youth Symphony Orchestra, and 20th Century Unlimited of Santa Fe. He has worked extensively in collaborative art forms, especially as a composer, sound designer, and musical director for the stage. From 1988 to 1994, he was composer-in-residence for the Nebraska Shakespeare Festival, and his opera, Bellini’s War, was premiered at Texas Tech University in 2001.

Occasional changes that remove and introduce elements almost imperceptibly. Harmsworth has this way about making complex worlds of melody that feel like one singular note played indefinitely” – guide me little tape. [image: image] *BullSeal!* Oh shit! They’re back!
