The Bun Mountains - \u5305\u5c71<\/p><\/div>\n

Outsound Series<\/em><\/strong> @ Luggage Store Gallery, 1007 Market St. @ 6th Street, San Francisco<\/a>, 8pm.<\/p>\n

This all-laptop show will feature luminous and dark harmonic spectra, and doppler\u2019d \/ computer-restructured time \u2014\u00a0 especially time-warped and processed sound from my field recordings of the excited crowds, street percussion, snatches of Cantonese opera, etc. from the Cheung Chau Bun Festival (\u9577\u6d32\u5305\u5c71\u7bc0)<\/a>, with synth’d sound overlay.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Climbing the Bun Mountain to get the luck<\/p><\/div>\n

In this culminating point of the yearly rituals in honor of the Daoist god Pak Tai (\u5317\u5e1d)<\/a> and the birthday of Buddha on the Outer Island of Cheung Chau in Hong Kong, there’s a fierce scrum to clamber to the top of huge “bun mountain” towers and snatch the most and highest buns to get the best luck for the coming year, after which a giant paper effigy of the King of Ghosts is burnt. All senses are engaged, not least the ears, and the soundscape is gorgeous.<\/p>\n

The show will also feature extended multi-dimensional Indo-modernist\u00a0\u201cmeta-r\u0101gas<\/em><\/strong>\u201d, where the \u201cnotes\u201d are changes in sound-color, harmonization, or degree of randomization as well as changes in pitch, as the basis for improv structures in forms\u00a0like R\u0101gam-T\u0101nam-Pallavi<\/em><\/strong> (\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd <\/strong>\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bae\u0bcd <\/strong>\u0baa\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bb5\u0bbf).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cassini Saturn Probe results - Melody harmony or spectrum?<\/p><\/div>\n

This will include a piece in the Saturnian meta-r\u0101ga \u015aani-Ha\u1e6daka\u1e45gi (<\/em><\/strong>\u0936\u0928\u093f<\/strong>–<\/em><\/strong>\u0939\u091f\u0915\u0919\u0940<\/strong>)<\/em><\/strong>, using samples of Saturn’s signal-scape as recorded by the Cassini space probe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Warren Stringer<\/p><\/div>\n

My partner in this show is multimedia artist\/inventor and software fiend Warren Stringer<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, who’ll be image-jamming using the dazzling aesthetic of multi-dimensional moir\u00e9 and cellular automata he’s developed as a pioneer of visual synthesis.<\/p>\n

Warren’s work is polyvalent, ranging from visual music synthesizer, Sky<\/em><\/strong>, to social media ontology, Tr3<\/em><\/strong>, that connects human input devices, game engines, and social media, into a new kind of performance mash-up.<\/p>\n

A virtuoso of technology, Warren’s many adventures have included 2D & 3D visual synthesis, Vuppet<\/em><\/strong> gestural game input devices long predating the Wii, acoustic fingerprint integration for sound distribution services like Snocap, patents in e-distribution methods, and key roles in various start-ups and tech companies ranging from Coincidence, Inc., TestDrive Corp., AdWare, Inc, Lotus, Borland, to Aha, Inc. and current project Muse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His real-time visual synthesis is as vast and beautiful as his tech acuity, and you’ll experience a lush new visual world you never knew existed.<\/p>\n

We’ll be followed in Set 2 by Oakland meta-drone duo Glou-glou<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (Gretchen Jude <\/em><\/strong>& Arjun Mendiratta<\/em><\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Glou-GLou's Music for Koto, Pitch Pipe, and Samplers<\/p><\/div>\n

Glou-glou, active in the Bay Area since the beginning of 2012, is dedicated to creating improvised electronic music that’s primarily ambient and consonant. Gretchen Jude plays koto, Roland SP-404 and sings (among other things); Arjun Mendiratta plays violin, laptop and rocks (and such).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Gretchen Jude<\/p><\/div>\n

Gretchen Jude<\/em><\/strong><\/a> has studied with a variety of teachers in Japan, Idaho, and the Bay Area: vocal performance & technique<\/strong> with Molly Holm, Giselle Wyers & Bruce Browne; improvisation<\/strong> with Fred Frith, Roscoe Mitchell & Zeena Parkins; traditional Japanese music <\/strong>with Sawai\u00a0koto<\/em> master Curtis Patterson & shamisen<\/em> expert Nishimura Makoto (\u897f\u6751\u771f\u7434); Urasenke tea ceremony<\/strong> with Hagiwara Kimiko (\u8429\u539f\u304d\u307f\u5b50); electronic & computer music <\/strong>with Ted Apel, John Bischoff, James Fei & Chris Brown.<\/p>\n

Gretchen has appeared with artists such as Kazue Sawai, Willie Winant, Keith Rowe & Lona Kozik, in new works by composers like Christian Wolff, Fred, Frith, Amy X Neuburg, Ellen Fullman & Edward Schocker.\u00a0 In addition, she has played\/composed music for dance works by Anne Bluethenthal, Shinichi Iova-Koga (\u30b7\u30f3\u30a4\u30c1\u30fb\u30a4\u30aa\u30f4\u30a1\u30fb\u30b3\u30ac), Peiling Kao (\u9ad8\u6c9b\u9f61) & many others.<\/p>\n

Gretchen has an MFA in Electronic Music & Recording Media (with the Donna Peterson Vocal Prize) from Mills College, as well as an intermediate koto<\/em> certificate (with distinction) from the Sawai Koto Institute (\u6ca2\u4e95\u7b8f\u66f2\u9662) in Tokyo.\u00a0 She teaches music technology at University of the Pacific in Stockton, California.<\/p>\n

Arjun Mendiratta \/ \u0905\u0930\u094d\u091c\u0941\u0928 \u092e\u0947\u0902\u0926\u093f\u0930\u093e\u0924\u094d\u0924\u093e <\/p><\/div>\n

Chemist and process engineer by day, Arjun Mendiratta<\/em><\/strong> (\u0905\u0930\u094d\u091c\u0941\u0928 \u092e\u0947\u0902\u0926\u093f\u0930\u093e\u0924\u094d\u0924\u093e)<\/em><\/strong> has maintained a vigorous programme of electro-acoustic chamber music performance through his days at MIT & CalTech to his collaboration with Gretchen in a music refracted by his tech perspectives and thorough knowledge of the effects of sulfur compounds in burgundy.<\/p>\n

Rather than try to describe their awesomely beautiful thrum, I suggest you listen (and buy!) their Music for Koto, Pitch Pipe, and Samplers<\/em><\/strong> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Join us for an unforgettable night of sight and sound at the longest standing experimental music series in the Bay Area, curated since 2002 by Outsound<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n
