CONFERENCE
OF THE GHOSTS
Solo
Anaphorian Hammered
Dulcimer-
tuned
to Meta-Slendro as
found
upon the diagonals of Mt. Meru, carried out to a 12 tone constant
melodic
structure, positioned as chromatic tetrachords within the Lesser
Perfect
System, with the highest rank doubling at the "fifth", resulting in the
interpolations
of tones in the gaps of the overall chromatic structure and further
completed
by interpolations resulting from the transposition in the bottom rank.
The
repertoire of solo
hammerlike
dulcimer music in anaphoria flourished in the 17th century to such a
high
degree that little change in its "form" has developed. We would be at a
loss
though if we looked for those architectonic models commonly found in
the
west. Instead we must bear witness to the almost universal use of the
"interacting of a garden of musical characters", possibly more like
spirits or genii in
alchemical combinations able to divide and mold together. It would be a
mistake
not to take note of those changes that have occurred; new scale
resources
and new technical innovation passed on and developed by the masters in
the
successive generations until the present. Overall, it is a tradition
not
unlike a growing tree, new branches from its nourishing unmoving trunk

EARJAM presents Rod Poole
Side
Street Projects' new performance space at
425
South Main Street, 2nd floor, downtown L.A. $6
PARKING is available in the garage at 425 South Main Street ($3).
Rod
Poolewill
be performing a set of solo improvisation on acoustic guitar, using an
alternate
tuning known as "just intonation." The skilled complexity and stunning
originality
of his work have made Poole a highly respected and influential member
of
the Los Angeles and international musicians' community. VOICE OF THE
BOWED
GUITAR is Rod Poole, Douglas Williford and Joseph Hammer. They will be
performing
a set of minimal and mesmerizing compositions on three open-stringed
acoustic
guitars bowed with cello bows. The subtle changes in the resonating
tones
of this music draw out the acoustics of the performance space (and the
sympathetic
vibrations of the bodies within it!).
English
expatriate Rod Poole is known for
his improvisation work on accoustic guitar. A founding member of the
Oxford Improvisor's
Cooperative, Poole has also performed with Derek Bailey and in private
collaborations
with Keith Rowe of AMM. "Voice of the Bowed Guitar" is a trio (with
Doug Williford and Joseph Hammer) of guitars utilizing just intonation,
a tuning system with
underlying mathematical relationships different from conventional
western
tuning, created by moving the frets from their original positions. The
sustained
bowing of the guitars creates a dense curtain of sound from which the
ears
discern subtleties of texture over time. The average duration of a
single
performance ranges from 45 minutes to one hour. Poole's rich,
microtonal
improvisations can be heard on his CDs "December 96" and "The Death
Adder."
The trio that comprises Voice of the Bowed Guitar can also be heard on
the
Transparency release "Iasis."
Acoustic
resonances for a space between the ears
Nestling just behind vague memories and almost forgotten dreams.
KRAIG
GRADY/ORCHESTRA
OF THE ANAPHORIA SHADOW THEATRE
Composer
Kraig Grady writes in
alternative tunings for acoustic instruments of his own creation.
Initially inspired by Harry
Partch, Grady began and still continues his studies of intonation with
Erv
Wilson. He is also heavily inspired by the possibilities inherent in
musics
around the world, especially the music of Anaphoria Island. Progressing
from
improvisory and textural compositions to works created for his original
metal
and wood instruments, Grady's work currently explores the possibilities
of
resonance, internal as well as external. At Sound at the Schindler
House,
he will be joined by his ensemble, Orchestra of the Anaphoria Shadow
Theatre.

"SOUND"an
experimental music series started in 1998 by artist Cindy Bernard - ran
until
April 2000 at Sacred Grounds in San Pedro and featured artists and
musicians
working both improvisationally and outside of their usual
collaborations.
Bernard, known for her work with photographic and film imagery, has
pursued
her interest in sound through "projections+sound," a series of projects
created
in collaboration with Joseph Hammer; as well as through her recent
performance
at the Schindler House, "space, climate, light, mood," created in
collaboration
with Gabie Strong, Ron Russell and David Patton. For "sound." at the
Schindler
House, Bernard was particularly interested in inviting artists to visit
the
house and consider it's architecture in structuring their performances.
Built
in 1921-1922 by Modernist master Rudolf M. Schindler, the Schindler
House
was both architecturally and socially innovative and served as a nexus
for
artistic creativity for decades. Among its famed residents was
reknowned
artist and sound experimentalist, John Cage. "sound." continues the
Schindler
tradition of avant-garde experimentation and innovation.
The MAK
Center for Art and Architecture, L.A. is
located
at the Schindler House in West Hollywood. The street address is 835 N.
Kings
Road and parking is available at the West Hollywood structure at the
northeast
corner of Kings Road and Santa Monica Boulevard. Admission to "sound."
will
be $8; students $4. Series tickets are available for $25. Doors will
open
at 7 p.m. each evening, with performances beginning at 7:30 p.m. For
