| Description |
The Marsh presents The brainchild of Larry Ochs and the renowned Rova Saxophone Quartet, Improv:21 seeks to explore the connection between composition, interpretation and improvisation. Hosted by critic and KPFA radio host Derk Richardson, the evenings are a shifting mix of lecture, dialogue, demonstration and performance with a liberal sprinkling of audience questions. The Marsh, former home to Bajones jazz club, is acoustically excellent for music.
These events are accessible to people from a wide variety of musical backgrounds, from professional and amateur musicians to music lovers of all levels of interest and experience.
Mark Dresser: SPECTRAL DELIVERY
The excavation of musical possibilities from the double bass is the subject of Dresser's informance. Exploring the micro details of string vibration through improvisation, recording, analysis, codification and composition has led to the development of a custom made electro-acoustic pick-up system and a rich body of music. A major focus has been extending the sonic and musical possibilities of the double bass through the use of unconventional amplification. A chapter on his extended techniques for contrabass, "A Personal Pedagogy," appears in the book, ARCANA. Expect both minutiae and the macro view through musical, acoustic and metaphoric lenses.
