I’ve had the honor and pleasure to curate 3 shows in Aug at the East Bay\u2019s indispensable focal point for new music, <\/strong>Berkeley Arts Festival<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (<\/em><\/strong>2133 University Avenue, Berkeley, CA \u2013 map<\/em><\/strong><\/a>)<\/em><\/strong>; this is the final one in the series, at 8pm, Wed 27 Aug<\/span><\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We end with a set of radical explorations in motion\/sound\/art, unbounded ecstatic improvisatory freedom, and the strange effects of informatically\u00a0re-encoding musical\/mechanical systems (and, possibly, their listeners).<\/p>\n

(L \u2192 R) Bob Marsh (cello) and Evangel King (dancer) perform window\/door\/river @ The Luggage Store Gallery, 10 July 2014<\/p><\/div>\n

Set <\/strong>\u00d8\/<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>Pr\u00e9lude<\/strong><\/span><\/span>: Bob Marsh<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>Evangel King<\/strong><\/a> perform <\/strong>window\/door\/river<\/em><\/strong> (<\/strong>8pm<\/span><\/strong>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bob Marsh<\/strong><\/a> and associates have made many multimedia interpretations of Bob’s graphic scores in the rhizomic window\/door\/river<\/strong> project.<\/p>\n

Bob Marsh<\/strong><\/a> (cello) and Evangel King<\/strong><\/a> (dance) perform one of the most beautiful of these fascinating pieces in a short site-specific realization designed specifically for Berkeley Arts Festival space.<\/p>\n

From Bob:<\/p>\n

“window\/door\/river<\/em><\/strong> began as a graphic response to a dance class with Anna Halprin<\/a> a couple of years ago. It seemed to resemble some of my graphic music compositions. The four panels reminded me of windows, or maybe they were doors. Maybe they were all aspects of the life of a river.\u00a0I decided to send this window\/door\/river<\/em><\/strong> composition to various friends, near and far, asking them to create any kind of interpretation they might desire. Various types of realizations can be found at\u00a0http:\/\/windowdoorriver.bandcamp.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

6 months ago I began working with dancer\/choreographer Evangel King<\/strong><\/a> on this project, exploring the variety of meanings, literal and metaphorical, of windows, doors and rivers. In the end we decided to work within the contexts of actual windows and doors, letting the river portion be the river of life that flows around us at all times”<\/p>\n
