Dear SF-EMM-ers,

Following the fantastic Tim Thompson / Space Palette show in Jan, our series continues with more computer music and invented-instrument music which you or your friends might like...

=================================

[1] A Grand Spectacular at Turquoise Yantra Grotto
! (7:30pm this Wed 15 Feb
2012, SF)

=================================

Invented instrument photos & more details (check it out): 新年快樂！15 Feb: Enter the MSP Fire-Dragon — Marsh, Wright, Lasqo & Samas @ Turquoise Yantra Grotto

Start things out with a *bang* and join us to open the Dragon Year with special guests: extraordinary East Coast saxophonist Jack Wright, and Bob Marsh, performance artist, musical agent provacateur/éclatiste, mad cellist/bassist/pianist/guitarist/found-instrumentist/vocalist/+++ (& tap-dancer!)

Highlights will include MSP processing of field recordings of the Hong Kong 大坑舞火
龍 (Tai Hang Dancing Fire
Dragon), to accompany Bob Marsh in one of his simultaneously instrument/costume Sonic Suits.

We’re also privileged to present Bob Marsh’s unique invented instrument, the Silver Park, as played by its invented musician, Mr. Mercury.

German publication, Bad Alchemy, on Jack Wright: "Wright does not make music, he embodies it, he transforms it with a naiveté of another order. It grows into a sound river, he is part of the diaphragm through which the heterogeneous whispers."

David Samas and I will be joining our guests using piano, gamelan piano, crystal-obsidian lithophone, extended vocal techniques and the Zen Industrial Carillon, and I'll do meta-rāgas and material from my album Turquoise Sessions in the between-set Tea Music.

7:30pm: Candlelight Tea 1

8:00pm: Set 1

8:50pm: Candlelight Tea / Tea Music

910pm: Set 2
