Introduced in 2010, Battery Townsley explored the extreme resonances inside and around this historic WWII harbor fortification overlooking the ocean in the hills of the Marin Headlands. August 7 features performances by electroacoustic duo Date Palms w/ Trevor Montgomery
(acoustic bass) & Michael Elrod (tanpura), vocal dance ensemble M.Mara Ann's Sugar Pine Tesla, and composer/sound artist Edward Schocker (glass/sho) w/ Adam Fong (double bass), Suki O'Kane (bass drum), and Taka Oda (voice).

DATE PALMS W/ TREVOR MONTGOMERY & MICHAEL ELROD
Oakland-based duo Gregg Kowalsky and Marielle Jakobsons create a site-specific performance in the Battery's gunwell with Trevor Montgomery (acoustic bass) and Michael Elrod (tanpura). They share internationally-spanning solo careers as creative practitioners with a solid foundation in drone music composition and performance. However, it is a mutual love for classical Indian music and Bitches Brew that resulted in their psychedelic, trance-inducing collaboration known as Date Palms. Their music has been called "a strange, yet fantastic fusing of Eastern style raga drones, and hypnotic Spacemen 3 style bass buzz, almost like some sort of slowcore, spacerock, dronedrift that is abstract and minimal." http://www.datepalmsofpsalms.com/

M. MARA-ANN'S SUGAR PINE TESLA
Sugar Pine Tesla is M. Mara-Ann's newest composition for voice and movement, featuring Sarah-Elena Palmer (voice), Julie Binkley (dance), Caroline Penwarden (voice), Sonsherée Giles (dance), Jen Harper (voice), Vanessa Beggs-Skacel (voice), Alexa Hall (voice), M. Mara-Ann (voice). Sugar Pine Tesla will activate the sonic, visual and constructive aspects of the concrete and steel structure to generate an aural and visual surround sound, multi-directional, moving, shifting, reverberating intermedia work. M. Mara Ann is a vocalist, writer and performance artist that employs improvised music, dance, text, video and theater to explore topics of the environment and currently producing the intermedia performance series 'The Containment Scenario Project'.

EDWARD SCHOCKER w/ ADAM FONG, SUKI O'KANE & TAKA ODA
In the bellies of the battery fortification, composer Edward Schocker creates a resonant performance with glass and sho (Japanese wind instrument), featuring musicians Adam Fong (double bass), Suki O'Kane (bass drum) and Taka Oda (voice). Schocker's work is a unique mixture of alternate tuning systems and unique instruments, combined with theater/opera. He has collaborated with many dancers, artists and writers and his music has been performed in numerous countries throughout the world. http://edwardschocker.com/
