and his art explores social and sensual constructs and experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Starting his career in Bogot\u00e1, Colombia and then active for a long period in Lausanne, Switzerland, Jorge eventually relocated to the Bay Area and has become a technical and artistic mainstay of <a href=\"http:\/\/me-di-ate.net\">MEDIATE&#8217;s<\/a> <strong>Soundwave<\/strong> Series as well as the Engineer Scotty of the Starship <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfemf.org\">SFEMF<\/a>, somehow finding time to regularly give solo electronic concerts like his recent brilliant one at The Lab.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">=================================<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"20141010\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/joelasqo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BAF.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-512\" title=\"BAF\" src=\"https:\/\/joelasqo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BAF.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"333\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/joelasqo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BAF.png 333w, https:\/\/joelasqo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/BAF-242x300.png 242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/a>\u25c9<em> <\/em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Fri 10 Oct, 9:15pm<\/span>: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.berkeleyartsfestival.com\/\"><strong>Berkeley Arts Festival<\/strong><\/a><strong> (<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=2133+University+Avenue,+Berkeley,+CA&amp;aq=0&amp;oq=2133+University+Avenue,+berkeley,+&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=40.953203,71.894531&amp;vpsrc=0&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=2133+University+Ave,+Berkeley,+California+94704&amp;t=m&amp;z=16&amp;ei=7tjST7y6B4qOowTZvuG2DQ&amp;pw=2\"><strong>2133 University Avenue, Berkeley, CA \u2013 map<\/strong><\/a><strong>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another opportunity to play at the East Bay\u2019s indispensable focal point for new music,<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.berkeleyartsfestival.com\">Berkeley Arts Festival<\/a>, is always welcome!<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Set 2, 9:15pm<\/span><\/strong>: Viv <a href=\"http:\/\/vivcorringham.org\">Corringham<\/a> with Nancy <a href=\"http:\/\/about.me\/nancybeckman\">Beckman<\/a>, Tom <a href=\"http:\/\/about.me\/tombickley\">Bickley<\/a>, Ron <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bayimproviser.com\/artistdetail.asp?artist_id=59\">Heglin<\/a>, Joe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joelasqo.com\/\">Lasqo<\/a>, Bill <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vjlove.com\">Thibault<\/a>, and Jennifer <a href=\"http:\/\/cnmat.berkeley.edu\/people\/jennifer_wilsey\">Wilsey<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/joelasqo.com\/blog\/2014\/09\/30\/msppiano-w-transbay-multimedia-consort-for-british-ny-based-avant-vocalist-sound-artist-viv-corringhams-2014-norcal-tour-08-19-oct-\u2014-ccrma-\u2022-luggage-store-\u2022-berkeley-a\/\">jump to Viv Corringham tour info<\/a>)<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4360\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/joelasqo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Martha-Matsuda-performing-1.01-640h.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4360\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4360\" title=\"Martha Matsuda performing 1.01 640h\" src=\"https:\/\/joelasqo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Martha-Matsuda-performing-1.01-640h.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/joelasqo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Martha-Matsuda-performing-1.01-640h.png 640w, https:\/\/joelasqo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Martha-Matsuda-performing-1.01-640h-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4360\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Martha Matsuda performing (image - Doug Slater \/ Doug Slater Photography)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Set \u00d8<\/span><\/strong>: <strong>Metropolitan Butoh (<\/strong><strong>\u90fd\u98a8\u821e\u8e0f<\/strong><strong>)<\/strong> (Molly <a href=\"https:\/\/mistersf.com\/sanfran\/index.html?sanfranbarrons.htm\">Barrons<\/a>, Ronnie <a href=\"http:\/\/earthchildbutoh.org\/?page_id=24\">Baker<\/a>, Christina <strong>Braun<\/strong>, Martha <a href=\"http:\/\/earthmaidenbutoh.org\/?page_id=59\">Matsuda<\/a>) (<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">8pm<\/span><\/strong>)<\/p>\n<p>Following our Aug experiment in using the large bay windows as go-go cages for avant-dance, we repeat the dance opener format w <strong>Metropolitan Butoh (<\/strong><strong>\u90fd\u98a8\u821e\u8e0f<\/strong><strong>)<\/strong>, a group of veteran Bay Area butoh performers of the Tamano School who&#8217;ve collaborated since 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Butoh came to the United States with the arrival in Berkeley in 1978 of K\u014dichi &amp;
