Decoupage

The Silo

Decoupage is a chamber quartet led by trombonist and composer Curtis Hasselbring. The group has been performing ever since September of 2004, when Curtis taped some pictures of Brittany Spears and some monkey-shaped cocktail stirrers to music staff paper for the band to play at CBGBs Gallery.

The performers enter the stage empty and build an evening length work from the first moments and gestures. Terman and Koga play in a highly physical realm that includes sound/music and language to explore an often surreal and dreamlike, yet utterly immediate world together.

Joining Kendall are musicians he's worked with in the past -- Vortex (Satoshi Takeishi & Shoko Nagai), o.blatt (Keiko Ueinishi) and Bradford Reed & Bill Bronson -- plus pianist Anthony Coleman and his Hellbender Film Projekt video-partner Al Griffin.

Joe Morris Ensemble: Text Messaging

The Silo

A performance of improvised music conducted with the use of graphic scores. The scores are maps containing cells with written word directions/suggestions taken from my glossary of terms that I use to describe subtle, and not-so-subtle approaches to sound, rhythm, dynamics, form, groupings and thematic material.
