[Carolyn Andre ] Pauline Oliveros' "The Roots of the Moment" [Carolyn Andre Subject: a week in concerts This week I saw a ton of concerts. They are of varying levels of ecto interest, so here's a list to help your skimming/deleting: Kronos Quartet, Andy Statman Quartet, Natalie MacMaster, Mary Jane Lamond, and Pauline Oliveros. See, it was a busy week! Kronos Quartet: Last Sunday I saw Kronos. I've seen them many times before, so I know that it's always a treat. In fact, the second half of the show was the first half of the show I saw in DC, which consists of big chunks of Early Music played without pause. If anyone was curious about them, Early Music is one of the easiest albums to listen to. (That, and Pieces of Africa.) I guess the release of the 25 year anniversary box (of 10 discs!) has prompted them to pull pieces from their whole career for the shows, which pleased me to no end. They started with Ben Johnson's Amazing Grace, which was a musical revelation when I saw them perform it years ago. It wasn't the surprise it was then, but was still fun. I was also thrilled that the revived Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals and Sunrise (from Pieces of Africa) in their 3 encores. Andy Statman Quartet: A few days later I saw Andy Statman at my favorite place - the Outpost Performance Space. He's a clarinet and mandolin virtuoso, which seemed a strange pairing of instruments to me. Apparently he was merging Klezmer and jazz many years ago, and has now moved on to playing jazz versions of Hassidic melodies. They were all good stuff, but my faves were the ones that were the wildest freak-outs that I couldn't really relate to their historical contexts. Apparently Bela Fleck and David Grisman (who taught Andy mandolin) appear on his new album. Natalie MacMaster: Natalie is a Cape Breton fiddler who is always a joy to watch and listen to. She's traveling with a great band that seem to really enjoy playing together, as well as step dancing and goofing around with her. She seemed in a particularly silly mood, which was fine with the sold out crowd. I picked up her latest disc (My Roots Are Showing), which apparently focuses on more traditional elements of the Cape Breton style. If you like Celtic music at all, you are bound to enjoy this show. Mary Jane Lamond: This was the concert highlight for me. All I've ever heard by Mary Jane was her vocals on Ashley MacIsaac's Sleepy Maggie, but this was exactly what I was hoping for - songs in Gaelic, done straight and played with a bit. If the album lives up to the concert, then it would be a decent follow up to Mouth Music's brilliant first album. It didn't sound quite as daring as that, but almost as much fun. She was backed by a 5-person band, and they certainly added to the joy of the evening. Probably the last group I've seen have so much fun was The Nields. Everyone played an integral part, and they all had many chances to shine. Plus, they all felt free to make comments and poke fun at each other, which definitely made the evening. The layering of the voices sounded great, and it was amusing that most of the band (with the exception of excellent fiddler Wendy MacMaster) didn't speek a word of Gaelic but were singing the choruses phonetically. (Hey, that's how I sing along, so I have no problem with that.) If you are at all into Gaelic vocal music, or world music in general, you couldn't go wrong with this show. Having an excuse to spend a day in Taos was an added bonus for the day. It's a 2.5 hour drive, but I was definitely happy to have made it. Pauline Oliveros: This was a pretty captivating show. I wish I didn't have to leave after 45 minutes. (Amusingly enough, my companion left after 20 minutes, later pleading stomach problems. But it was the second time she's seen, and walked out, on a Pauline show.) I was surprised what a tiny woman she was. She was almost completely dwarfed by her accordian. SHe plays what she calls "deep listening" music. I personally have no idea what this means (Joe?), but gather it has something to do with the meditative aspect of music. I have one of her discs, which is mostly just accordian washes and echoes, with some faint choruses over them on occasion. Often strikes me as boring, though sometimes it strikes the right chord. What she played that night was a little rowdier than that, but still quite contemplative. Much of the audience sat silently, often with their eyes closed (though I'm sure a few of them were just sleeping!). Pauline played solo, using 2 pedals to add sound effects and reverb to her music. She set the tone right off the bat by just letting the accordian breath for a minute or so. She is one of those people who has a complete control over her instrument. She seemed to understand exactly what effect any movement she made would have on the sound. This was clear when she would walk over the buttons without actually pushing them, just letting the clicking sounds echo around the room. One thing I was really struck by was the visual aspect of watching her. While there was basically nothing going on on stage, the accodian was bathed in a deep red light. Watching it slowly expand and contract, with the crevices opening up and the angles of the lines of the folds slowly changing and shifting, was like watching a movie of abstract paintings. I could imagine Sol le Witt doing a whole series based on that - - "lines based on the folds of an accordian declining at 15 degrees, opened at 1 inch intervals". Anyway, an intriguing 45 minutes. neal np: Cindy Lee Berryhill - straight outta marysville ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1998 03:00:06 -0500 (EST) From: Mike Matthews Subject: Today's your birthday, friend... i*i*i*i*i*i i*i*i*i*i*i *************** *****HAPPY********* **************BIRTHDAY********* *************************************************** *************************************************************************** ********************* Jeff Pearce (no Email address) ********************** *************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Jeff Pearce November 16 Orpheus Naama Avramzon Mon November 18 1974 Scorpio Jeff Smith Mon November 19 1962 Crash Kevin Bartlett Fri November 21 1952 Scorpio Claudia Spix Wed November 23 1960 Schuetze Anja Baldo Tue November 23 1965 Garbanzo Tommy Persson Wed November 25 1964 Sagittarius Pat Tessitore November 26 Sagittarius Justin Bur Fri November 27 1964 Sagittarius Sue Trowbridge Sun November 27 1966 Skytten Ward Kadel Tue November 29 1977 Sagittarius Mirko Bulaja Sat November 30 1974 Block Juha Sorva Thu December 02 1976 Sagittarius Chip Lueck Thu December 05 1968 Sagittarius Michele Wellck December 08 Sagittarius Jeremy J.

Don't have much time to write a real post but there are a few things I feel compelled to write about: First of all a big thank you to everyone who posted about Imogen Heap. I finally ran across a used copy of her CD. I've only listened to it twice but it's absolutely STUNNING. Time will tell if this will be one of my top 5 CD purchases of the year but I can tell you that there hasn't been another CD that captured my imagination more completely on the first listen this year. Can anyone tell me how to pronounce her name? Apologies for asking a question that I'm sure has already been asked here... Also if anyone is seeing her on her tour, PLEASE tell her to come to Toronto! - ----- Saw a great triple bill with Josh Rouse, Juliana Hatfield, and Hayden on Sat. Josh Rouse was a really nice surprise, he has a great voice and great songs to match. Juliana played solo... she did well but I must say she was more fun a few years ago with her band. Hayden was terrific, and I was surprised to see that the ubiquitous Kevin Fox was playing with him... he played his usual cello, backup vox, bass guitar, keyboards, and even banjo! I've been a fan for a year now but I had no idea he was so versatile... For a second encore Hayden played Leonard Cohen's gorgeous "Famous Blue Raincoat". An awesome version of one of the best songs ever written. - ------- Saw Sarah Slean last night... She opened for Tory Cassis last night at one of his residency gigs at C'est What. Taking the stage she said she was feeling nostalgic as she hadn't played there in a long time, so she was going to play some old songs she hasn't played in awhile, and then proceeded to play two songs I'd never heard before. They must have been *really* old! Then she remarked how she'd seen Hayden the night before and how she'd been completely inspired when he did "Famous Blue Raincoat", so she decided she'd play it too... heaven! I never got to speak with her later so I don't know if she knows that Tori used to play it a lot at shows... She invited up a couple of musicians to perform with her on one of her songs... Kurt Swinghammer, a local guitar god who used to play with the Wild Strawberries among others, and Maury ____ (his last name eludes me right now) who plays with several good local bands including Arlene Bishop's. Anyway it was an amazing performance, the first time I'd ever seen anyone play electric guitar with Sarah. - --------- I don't know how wide a release the movie "The Red Violin" has, but everyone go see it! Especially if you share my fascination with antique instruments which become imbued with a life and personality of their own over the years, the centuries. This movie is like a series of love stories spanning centuries and continents, and it's absolutely mesmerizing to see how this instrument inflames such passion in each person who touches it, and it seems like it absorbs a portion of each new owner's soul each time it changes hands. A gorgeous movie with an amazing soundtrack. Samuel Jackson is brilliant as always in this movie. A hearty ecto recommendation especially for those who love musical instruments.

Such intense listening includes the sounds of daily life of nature of one's own thoughts as well as musical sounds. Deep Listening is a life practice." Pauline Oliveros, founder of Deep Listening That doesn't define it too clearly, though. As I understand it, it's a rather Zen-related practice of listening to one's surroundings in the moment and sounding accordingly. (Hmm, that's probably not any clearer.) http://www.deeplistening.org/ has a lot of info and links.

Pravatiner" Subject: Call for Participation: 1998 Happy Gift Project Contributor's copies of the 1998 Happy Birthday Project tape are in process of being duplicated, and will be sent out soon. It is now time to start work on this year's edition of the companion tape series, the Happy Gift Project. For the benefit of anyone not yet familiar with the HGP and HBP: These are compilation tapes that the people of ecto put together at Christmastime (HGP) and for Happy's birthday in August (HBP). Members of this list send in musical selections of their choice, which are assembled into a final tape which is sent to Happy. The contributors, of course, receive copies of their own. Happy has remarked on several occasions in the past on how much she enjoys getting these tapes; so have many of the contributors. It is easy to contribute. Simply dub one or more musical selections of your choice, ideally with a spoken introduction, onto a 100-minute cassette, and snailmail it, along with a second 100-minute cassette to accommodate the full final product (which usually fills two c-100's), to me. I then assemble the contributed materials into the final product, send it on to Happy, and copy and send the copies to the contributors. Your contibution(s) can be from any musical genre at all (some people have also contributed spoken-word material, like poems). While it certainly is not required, we especially encourage contributions of original performances, whether they be original compositions or covers. The only restrictions on what you contribute are that you can't contribute any of Happy's own recordings, and the total length of your contribution, including spoken introductory material, should not significantly exceed ten minutes. While we prefer that you record your own spoken introduction, if you are unable to do that, you can also send along a prepared text for me to read onto the tape. Either way, you should send the c-100 cassette with your musical selection and, hopefully, spoken intro; the other c-100; the text of your spoken intro if you want me to read it on the tape; and $2 for return postage if you're in the United States, or $4 (US) if you're in another country, to me at this address: Mitch Pravatiner 8025 S. Oglesby Ave. Chicago, IL 60617-1134 USA I will need to get them by December 15, or as soon thereafter as possible, in order to get the final product to Happy as close to Christmas as possible. Please email me with any questions, at mapravat@prairienet.org . I look forward to your participation in HGP98.

All I have are these manilla envelopes with years written on them and stuffed with mail from people I mostly haven't met. I want to let everyone know there is a new address for Voice of the Turtle where all my stuff can be got from. Voice of the Turtle, Box 263, Mundare, Alberta, TOB 3H0, Canada. e mail address at voiceoftheturtle@usa.net (that's a fairly good option in case of a new real world address in the future) and that's one of those free emails so I check it at the library. Nobody has made a web page for me yet so if there are any volunteers, well, I probably wouldn't say no except of course it would all have to be strictly factual, and who knows, someday I might get email at home. Subterranean has email at home subterra@hooked.net or: Subterranean Records, PO Box 2530 Berkeley, CA 94702, USA, tel: 415-821-5880, Fax: 415-647-0678. and they have everything, maybe even Dead Branches...But they DON'T have Little Misery Birds on cd with a handmade cover, but Voice of the Turtle does [typist's note: and they're spooky-cool].

We're almost finished recording a new thing called DOG LOGIC which is mostly a covers album with words by Elizabeth Smart, Ivan Illych, Bud Osborn, Steven Ruhl, and a couple of others, with songs by Kyp Harness, Steven J. Bernstein and maybe others, mostly lesser-known but great writers, and the project has been going on for so long I accidentally wrote a couple of songs so they might be included as well. It will feature a horn trio, the amazing Darin Ruffiange (Imagineers) on drums, a childrens' choir, and maybe a euphonium solo. I figure dogs enjoy the euphonium. Please send in any examples of dog logic as I would love to read them. Last night my dog found her way down a steep staircase in the pitch darkness and had a drink of water, and came back up. I couldn't do that. That's not an example of dog logic of course, but dog intelligence. Also finished setting five poems by Steven Ruhl to video images, if you want a copy of this 12-minute program (called QUINCUNX) you can ask me, also there will be three videos available, "He's Young But Daily a'Growing" (1993), By Any Other Name (1995) and Tinderbox (in production). I can let you know when they're available if there's any interest. Of course, your local record stores can order Book of Hate, so if you want a copy of that try requesting it--there is a distributor now (Spirit River) in Canada to some bigger stores and of course Suberterranean in the U.S. As always, thank you for all your support. The only upcoming performances I know about would be at festivals this summer--folk festivals and the like--and there's nothing confirmed. I know these events are expensive, just tell them you're on the door!
