[So Cal] Reminder Quiet this Saturday

[Glenn Bach <gbach@xxxxxxxxx>]

After apologizing for the crosspost, I'd like to remind you about this 
Saturday's installment of the series, Quiet, featuring various forms of 
quiet music in an intimate setting.  Inspired in part by the successful 
"Day of Attention" series organized by Josh Russell, Quiet showcases 
artists from Southern California and elsewhere in an environment that 
fosters attentive listening.

Quiet.

josh russell enjoys staring at things.  this has led to him spending a 
lot of time stationary.  then he started to listen to things while 
immobile which led to him wanting to then manipulate what he heard.  to 
hear what he heard last week again along with today.  to hear things in 
last week that he hadn't paid attention to before.  to add to it if 
necessary or to subtract until all that he can hear is his tinnitus. you 
can listen to his sounds at Stasisfield (http://www.stasisfield.com). 
he has been glad to have been able to play at such places as aaron 
ximm's "Field Effects," leo zhao's "TONE" series, and the NWEAMO 
festival at SDSU organized by joe waters. russell has sometimes 
organized sporadic day-long events called "day of attention" which have 
incorporated sound/video installations, visual art and live 
performances.  he runs a small recording label called bremsstrahlung 
recordings which specializes in egoless sound and which has so far 
released two double CD box sets of lower-case sound compilations and is 
currently gearing up for a double 3" metal box series featuring such 
artists as francisco lopez, radu malfatti, toshiya tsunoda, and steve 
roden.  if you have read this far then you must enjoy staring at things 
also.
