[microsound] Electron Salon 8

[Wayne Jackson <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ELectron SAlon 8 on Friday, June 11, 8 p.m.
Music and video artists perform in Santa Cruz
Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave, Santa Cruz
www.elsaproductions.com

This music performance is a four-fold spectacle mixing Theatre, Songs, and
Electronics.

Visiting French artists Benjamin Hamon (composer) and Franck Mas (stage
director and scenographer) will premiere excerpts of the multimedia
pocket-opera 'The Empty Lot.'

Matthew Embry presents his original vocal and piano compositions with a
new blend of dark hilarity, emotive social commentary, and a Zappa-esque
smart absurdity.

Previously performing at Woodstockhausen 2003 and the 2004 Big Sur
Experimental Music Festival, Nathan Levine and his theatre improvisation
company "Purée" perform what might best be described as
'neo-Vaudevillian-Futurist-Dada', a series of short compositions both
hilarious and musically pleasing.

After her appearance at the Other Minds festival in 2003, and a series of
performances in New York City, Amy X Neuburg comes back to Santa Cruz with
her latest ^Ówildly tuneful compositions,^Ô  for which she skilfully
wields a set of electronic drums to loop and process her voice in real
time, and accompany herself with multilayered rhythm and vocal tracks.

DJ Vanick, from KZSC's Tuesday evening show 'French Connection',
provides the SAlon's atmosphere.


The ELectron SAlon #8  is supported by a grant of the Cultural Council of
Santa Cruz County, by the SACD Beaumarchais,  KZSC, La kitchen (Paris) and
Cycling 74.
