THE TECHNOLOGY, THE VENUE, THE PROGRAM
Recent developments in concert hall electroacoustics and digital
matrix mixing offer exciting new options for performance of live
music. Level Control Systems is among the leading developers of such
tools, and the installation of an LCS-based multichannel sound system
in the newly-opened Theatre at Boston Court in Pasadena provides a
chance to explore some of the musical possibilities of these new
technologies.
<http://bostoncourttheatre.com/>Boston Court Theatre is an intimate,
state-of-the-art performing arts complex with a 99-seat theater and
60-seat performance space. It is equipped with a 20-speaker surround
sound system with a <http://www.LCSaudio.com>Level Control Systems
digital matrix mixer, and featuring the LCS Variable Room Acoustics
System (<http://lcsaudio.com/Products/VRAS.html>VRAS). The LCS matrix
allows individual control of each speaker channel, facilitating
dynamic distribution of live and recorded sounds throughout the
performance space. In conjunction with this, VRAS provides a
natural-sounding yet widely variable electroacoustic reverberation.
The teXalon program will give an introduction to multichannel matrix
mixing and variable room acoustics systems, using LCS both in support
of live acoustic music and to present prerecorded music and sound
effects to theatrical effect. We will explore both "naturalistic"
uses of the system to shape concert hall acoustics and "surrealistic"
electroacoustic effects that can become integral to future musics.

RICHARD BUGG has designed, built, and performed on modular analog
synthesizers. He has toured as a musician and as a live sound
engineer, worked as a studio musician and as an engineer, edited and
mastered albums starting with the first generation analog multi-track
tape machine, and was an early user of Sound Designer (later known as
Pro Tools). As a composer he has had commissions from modern dance
companies. His current work is for Level Control Systems involved in
the design and implementation of control surfaces for theater sound,
and in the development of the company's active acoustic system, VRAS.
<http://www.heardrum.org/mysteryframe.htm>MART=CDN CARRILLO (Sound
Designer/Composer) began his career designing for Guggenheim and
Barrymore recognized theaters in Philadelphia. Past credits plays The
Tragedy of Joan of Arc, and Cafeteria, as well as Biloxi Blues, at
historic Pasadena Playhouse. After two Barrymore nominations, the
designer moved to Los Angeles, and with Fran=E7ois Bergeron, he helped
produce Universal Studios Port Aventura's Templo del Fuego, and
programmed LCS surround matrices for the new Tokyo Disney Sea. He
has composed four original scores for the short films Touch, Math and
You, The Areola, and Snore, and is thrilled to be presenting the
first rumblings of today's excerpt from his Operetta for spoken word,
Medea.
<http://www.zvonar.com/>RICHARD ZVONAR is a composer and music
technologist who has been involved in spatial music, intermedia
performance, and theater sound since 1969. After several years with
Good Sound Foundation, researching and developing electroacoustic
systems for musical performance, he was associated with Level Control
Systems during its formative years. Zvonar is the founder and
coordinator the acf/LA technology programs.
<http://www.greenangelmusic.com/>MARY LOU NEWMARK is a composer,
performer, poet, music teacher and lecturer. Her compositions
encompass a wide range of styles and techniques, with a particular
emphasis on electronic music. She holds a Bachelor of Music degree
from Southern Methodist University and a Master of Music degree from
the USC (both in violin performance) and a Masters degree in
composition from the UCLA. Ms. Newmark performs in concert and gives
lecture/demonstrations of her music throughout the United States. She
has received many awards including a 1999 and 2000 ASCAP Award, a Mu
Phi Epsilon Grant, and recognition in the Luigi Russolo Competition
for electronic music. In 2002, Ms. Newmark completed a residency at
the Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida working with composer
Steve Mackey and the Talujon Percussion Quartet, and was commissioned
by the Montpelier Chamber Orchestra to write an electric violin
concerto performed by her and the ensemble in Vermont, March of 2003.
<http://www.tomheasley.com/>TOM HEASLEY is an internationally
acclaimed composer, performer, improviser and recording artist whose
compositions for electroacoustic tuba create "a rich and sonorous
aural experience that flies in the face of all the dumb cliches about
what tuba music is." Mr. Heasley's music is available on two recent
CDs - Where the Earth Meets the Sky (Hypnos) and On the Sensations of
Tone (Innova). His music has been featured on National Public Radio,
BBC Radio 3, Public Radio International, John Schaefer's New Sounds
on WNYC, and many other radio programs. In 2002 Heasley was awarded
an Artist Fellowship in Music Composition by Arts Council Silicon
Valley. His work has also been supported by the National Endowment
for the Arts, the American Composers Forum and the McKnight
=46oundation. Mr. Heasley has performed, recorded or otherwise
collaborated with a variety of artists, including Bobby Bradford,
Eugene Chadbourne, The Berkeley Symphony, Alvin Curran, Stuart
Dempster, Charlie Haden, Pauline Oliveros, The Merce Cunningham Dance
Company, and many others.
J T COKER is a self educated percussionist with a primary interest in
knowing the essence of playing (not working at) music. He started on
electric bass, then guitar - R n' B, Rock n' Roll, C&W, Pop, folk,
and jazz, then quit playing for a living to live for playing - to
explore music, for its own sake. Took up hand percussionm, drum set,
and shakuhachi. His primary current interest is in playing totally
free music in the duo Natural Music with electric guitarist Ed
Nunnery.
