The Pied Piper of Tom's Place (Dan Plonsey performs in costume)<\/p><\/div>\n

This year’s Skronkathon<\/em><\/strong>, curated by the inimitable Tom Duff, re-ignites<\/span> the Bay Area’s most unique adventurous, improvised, free new music potluck BBQ at Berkeley Arts Festival<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (<\/em><\/strong>2133 University Avenue, Berkeley, CA<\/a>)<\/em><\/strong>, perpetrated in collaboration with Toms’ Place<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’ll have plenty of charcoal on hand, so bring a slab of tofu, seitan, or tempeh for yourself or others to consume, and come fly with us!<\/p>\n

At 2:30pm<\/span><\/em><\/strong> I’ll be doing a mixed set of laptop + piano, with sound sources ranging from Jupiter & Saturn space probe signals<\/em><\/strong>, the Cheung Chau Bun Festival (\u9577\u6d32\u5305\u5c71\u7bc0<\/em><\/strong>, further description here<\/a>), a specially developed library of extended vocal samples drawing from overtone singing, formant manipulation, and “trombooba tones”<\/em><\/strong>, + some good old FM synthesis, all intertwingled with live piano.<\/p>\n

Scenes from some previous Skronkathons:<\/p>\n
