TOITURE (Canada) Saturday
14
Toiture
is a Montreal-based duo collaboration that presents a sound performance for
bass clarinet, percussions and an installation of small motors fixed on
different instruments; between a composed and an improvised playing, their work creates an interaction between the
human and motorized feel that melds together in a surprising orchestration; they
will invite the live video artist Katherine Liberovskaya as a guest to join
them for the second half http://www.toituremusic.com/
Chris McIntyre (New York) Sunday

Brooklyn-based
composer/performer Chris McIntyre brings together two current projects, UllU and TILT Brass, for a special evening of collaborative music making; the
first half features UllU, the ecstatic noise duo project of McIntyre and
percussionist Dave Shively (Either/Or); for the second half, a 6-piece
compliment of TILT Brass joins the duo to perform works composed by McIntyre in
collaboration with Shively (featuring the latter's innovative use of drums and
metal as feedback instruments); UllU is Chris McIntyre (trombone, Nord Lead 2,
percussion) and David Shively (feed back percussion, analog organ); TILT Brass
at EI is Gareth Flowers, Tim Leopold on trumpet, Jen Baker and Will Lang on
trombone, and James Rogers on contrabass trombone cmcintyre.com / tiltbrass.org

Lea Bertucci (New York) Monday
16
A
composer, improvisor and sound artist who works with the Bass Clarinet in an
electro-acoustic context; her preparation of the instrument hinges on sustained
tones created by pitched feedback from two mics placed inside the chamber of
the horn; through the use of extended technique, she is able to create a dense
yet diverse sonic palette with sounds generated from creative misuse of her
tools; a harsh tape collage of prepared piano, vibraphone and metal objects
augments the two improvisational compositions she will present this evening
Bob Bellerue (New York) Tuesday

whisk, janky wind organ, ultra-slack'd hollow body guitar, buzina, apito,
