There is no person in San Diego that does more to bring cutting-edge, experimental music onto the stage than concert promoter/record label operator Bonnie Wright. Over the years she has worked tirelessly to bring a stunning array of the world's most creative musicians to town--first with the Spruce Street Forum series, and now with her Fresh Sound events.
Wright kicks off her Fall Fresh Sound series with a kind of super-concert of avant-electronics featuring 5 musicians playing 4 sets in a first-ever outside performance at Space4Art in the East Village, on Wednesday, Sept. 5.
"Yes, this is the first time that Fresh Sound has held a concert outside," says Wright. "We thought this a good idea as there will be 5 musicians involved and we can utilize a bigger, better sound system for the music. Fun."
Here is what to expect:
Tom Erbe is the computer music studio director at UCSD. He will present his current project, a new performance of John Cage's "Williams Mix," (1952). He's using a score he obtained from the John Cage Trust and is noting all of the tape edits from the 192 page score.
Negativwobblyland is a collaboration between Peter Conheim of the sampling art collective Negativland and Jon Leidecker of Wobbly. They plan to celebrate the magic of the "Booper," a 100% analog feedback instrument, created entirely from salvaged radio and amplifier parts, which recycle their outputs back upon themselves.
Dieter Moebius best known as being one half of Cluster, the trailblazing German duo. Moebius' body of work spans more than 40 years and includes solo work and high-profile collaborations with the likes of the legendary Brian Eno.
Jay Lesser began his music career playing vague black metal and punk--then gradually electronic music and in 1994 he settled into the San Francisco Bay area where he toured with A Minor Forest, and also played with members of Crash Worship.
Wright, whose general mantra is avoiding the mainstream, says, "This series we decided to cover the whole gamut of music: Electronic, Experimental, Contemporary Classical, and Improvised. Fresh Sound wants to show how they cross over, breaking down the barriers between them. Good music is good music, right?"
Find out for yourself at Space4Art, 325 15th St. @ 8pm. $15/$10 for students.
