about the artists

William Meadows (from Dripping Springs)

William Meadows has been composing and performing

electronic music for longer than he would care to admit. His works have

been presented in concerts, conferences and radio programs throughout the

country. This performance will feature audio clips from interviews and

readings by John Cage provide the framework for a structured exploration of

processed guitar. The recorded excerpts serve as landmarks within a live

electronic soundscape created entirely on guitar modified by the Kyma Sound

Design system.

Susan Alcorn (from Houston) - THE FIRST NOTE

A solo pedal steel performance by this Houston artist. Susan Alcorn began

playing the pedal steel guitar over 25 years ago, and in that time has

evolved into a musician/composer of such rare inspiration that her music has

redefined, for many, the very perception of the instrument itself.

"For this performance, I will improvise and perhaps

perform written music, but I don't know what I am

going to play, and I won't know until I listen and

then play the first note or sound (and the first note

sounded a long time ago), then the path for my time

will be laid out, though not necessarily followed."

Alex Keller (recently from Seattle)

Alex Keller creates work in different mediums: sound design, experimental

sound art, traditional music composition, and performance. His work explores

formal ideas of narrative in music and sound, investigates the relationship

between an authentic sound event and a recorded one, and uses different

experimental production techniques.

"At my first performance in Austin I will premiere a new piece called

Bonneville. Like several pieces from the last few years, Bonneville works

with organic structures created by inorganic sounds."
