Ingebrigt Håker Flaten (born 1971 in Oppdal, Norway) is one of the most important figures in creative music in Norway – and elsewhere – today.

Coming from a musical family of six sisters and brothers, and a father who played the organ, he started to play piano and guitar at an early age. He switched over to the bass guitar, playing in a gospel choir in his hometown when he was 12. At 18 he moved to norwegian city Trondheim, where he picked up the acoustic bass, and decided he wanted to study at the music academy there, a school that has shaped many of the influental figureheads of the norwegian contemporary scene today. In 1992 he got into the school, and studied there for three years with bassplayer Odd Magne Gridseth, saxophonist Jon-Paal Inderberg and pianist Erling Aksdal.

Since 1995 Ingebrigt Håker Flaten have been a professional musician based in Oslo, and have been an important musician in leading scandinavian bands such as The Source, Element, Maria Kannegård Trio, Petter Wettre Trio, and between 1997-04 toured the world with the famed norwegian keyboard/piano player Bugge Wesseltoft and his New Conceptions of Jazz. Together with Bugge he performed with internationally established artists such as John Scofield (US), Joshua Redman (US) and Eric Trufaz (FRA).

Today Ingebrigt Håker Flaten have released more than 40 recordings and is focusing his work in Atomic, The Thing with Mats Gustafson, Atomic/School Days, Scorch Trio with Raoul Björkenheim, The Electrics with Axel Dörner, Free Fall with Ken Vandermark, Close Erase with Christian Wallumrød, Tore Brunborg Kvartett and is regulary doing solo performances.

Ingebrigt Håker Flaten..s creative and highly original bass playing has been highly regarded all over the world and he have done several performances with major international artists such as Evan Parker (UK), Paul Lytton (UK), Joe McPhee (US), Joe Lovano (US), Yusef Lateef (US), Tony Oxley (UK), Iain Ballamy (UK), Dave Liebman (US), Chris Potter (US), Zim Ngqvana (SA), Benoit Delbeq (FRA), Dr.L.Subramaniam (IND), Billy Cobham (US), Jean Luc Pounty (FRA). He has frequently appeared at important international jazz festivals in Den Haag, Liége, Montraux, Athens/Georgia, Cape Town, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Paris, Istanbul, Saalfelden, Nice, Groningen, San Francisco, San Sebastian, Lüc, Nancy, London, Perpignan, Molde, Perth, Kongsberg, Berlin, Houston and legendary clubs such as New Morning in Paris, Quasimodo in Berlin, Ronny Scotts and Pizza Express in London, Knitting Factory and Tonic in New York, Empty Bottle in Chicago, Blue Note in Yokohama and Hemlock Tawern in San Francisco.

His musical expression is based on the language of jazz and improvised music, acoustic and electronic, but his interest in rock and ethnic music also shows through his collaborations with the norwegian rock bands Motorpsycho and Cato Salsa Experience as well as his work through Rikskonsertene
In July 2003, as the first bass-player in Norway, he released his solo-CD "Double bass" on the norwegian label SOFA.

He has at the tender age of 33 already managed to establish himself as one of the most important exponents of the younger generation of musicians on the european scene today. In July 2004 Ingebrigt Håker Flaten was awarded Kongsberg Jazzfestival official "Vitalprisen" – the highest award for jazz musicians in Norway.

They, Who Sound - Sunday, May 18th

y_e_torres — Fri, 16 May 2008 15:42:01 GMT

improvised and experimental music
2 different sets per night

May 18th, 2008
FEATURING -

Experimental music has a home in midtown – or at least it’s been invited crash there for a couple of months . . .

Iconoclastic noise, exploratory improvisation, hypnotic droning, and authentic "musique brut" have for decades been strong undercurrents affecting movement in Houston’s music (and art). They deeply impact what we hear and feel on the surface. But these scenes (or phenomena – underground music is often not coming from a ‘scene’) also produce many of Houston’s most well-known musical exports (unbeknownst to most Houstonians – even in the music and “cultural arts” communities).

“They, Who Sound” will offer two sets sampling a diverse range of underground music in Houston (with a potential for visiting artists as well) in the cozy environs of Backroom (the space behind The Mink). These shows are not to be missed. These events are early, there’s a bar and it’s on the train route!

Peter Brotzmann and Han Bennink - April 27, 2008

y_e_torres — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:59:11 GMT

Nameless Sound Presents ::
Pioneers of European Free Improvisation
Peter Brotzmann and Han Bennink
on April 27, 2008

Peter Brotzmann (Germany) - saxophones, clarinets
Han Bennink (Holland) - drums, percussion
Sunday, April 27 2008 at 8pm
at Diverse Works
1117 East Freeway
Houston, TX

$13 General Admission
$10 Students
Everyone Under 18 Gets in For Free
Tickets Available at the Door

For Information,
Call Nameless Sound at 713-928-5653
or go to www.namelesssound.org

Pioneers of European free improvisation, Han Bennink and Peter Brotzmann made a landmark statement together in 1968 with "Machine Gun", the incendiary recording by the Peter Brotzmann Octet. The two continued their groundbreaking collaboration in duo, trio, and quartet settings. After 12 years, the contrast between Brotzmann's severe intensity and Bennink's gleeful anarchy had run its course. In 1980, they went separate ways, playing the last concert of their fruitful 12-year collaboration.

In 2004, Brotzmann organized a series of performances to reunite the duo after a 24-year hiatus. Time added perspective to the work of both artists. Though he still turns up the high heat, Brotzmann now reveals a lyricism at heart of his fury. Bennink's physicality is still prominent; but he has shown himself to be an heir to the tradition of the great swing drummers like Baby Dodds, Jo Jones, and Max Roach.

An art student with connections to the Fluxes movement, Peter Brotzmann rejected a career in the galleries after hearing a concert by jazz legend Sidney Bechet. Self-taught on saxophones and clarinets, Brotzmann played modern jazz influenced by Ornette Coleman and worked with American greats like Don Cherry and Steve Lacy. He was crucial at the beginning of Europe's free improvisation movement. Brotzmann developed a style similar to radical American saxophonist Albert Ayler (without much knowledge of Ayler), an uncompromising, screaming cry that challenged itself to greater heights of rage and energy. Time added subtlety to his sound. Bluesy lyricism and timeless muezzin-like calls emerged in later years. He is one of the most influential saxophone players in free improvisation.

One of the hard swinging drummers in jazz and improvised music, Han Bennink has a reputation as an anarchic and electrifying performer. Well known for his physicality and sense of humor, Bennink's concerts lie somewhere in the realm of virtuosic percussion display and dadaist performance. He is famous for coaxing unusual sounds from his drums, augmenting his kit with found debris, and drumming on any surface available (walls, floors, chairs, his own body). In Holland in the 1960s, Bennink was quickly recognized as an uncommonly versatile drummer. He accompanied visiting jazz greats like Sonny Rollins, Eric Dolphy and Dexter Gordon. At the same time, Bennink helped to create a European improvised music that evolved an identity separate from its jazz roots. His collaborators in the worlds of free jazz and improvisation include most of the important artists in the music: Don Cherry, Misha Mengelberg, John Tchicai, Evan Parker, Derek Bailey, Steve Lacy, Eugene Chadbourne, and many others. Bennink has also performed with the punk rock band the Ex, with whom he has done two tours of Ethiopia.

I"m doing an exploratory show this coming Wednesday, March 26th at META MUSIC (320 Cedar Street, Santa Cruz)
as a way of developing new material for my upcoming 10 week/10 country solo headlining found sound/live looping
tour that I leave for on May 1st.

I will also be on the bill with the Norwegian live looping guitarist Tellef Orgrim
and we will also play a short duet set at the end of the evening.

I will go on at 8 p.m. and play until 9.

Tellef will play for about 20 minutes (his decision) and then we will improvise at the
end of the evening.

I hope you guys can make it out. I have some really fun musical things in store for Wednesday.

"Nakatani's sparse punctuation suggests observance of esoteric ritual."
- Julian Cowley, The Wire Magazine, UK

"Orchestral brilliance, Tatsuya Nakatani is a methodical musician concerned with the development of an idea in time. His beginnings are arresting; his endings are satisfying. The right duration and variety of events are fully charged with a visceral intensity that can captivate a true listener. The music is clear. This CD merits close listening. It will purify any space."
- Review by Eric Zinman, Improvisor Magazine

y_e_torres — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:34:44 GMT

Tetuzi Akiyama (Japan) - acoustic guitar
Jozef van Wissem (Holland) - renaissance lute

YOU KNOW YOU WANNA GO TO A FREE CONCERT WITH A RENAISSANCE LUTE!!!

When: Wednesday, January 30 , 2008 at 8 pm

Where: A site-specific performance at
The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum
4011 Yupon at Branard, Houston, TX (map)

Tickets: The concert is free of charge

Nameless Sound and The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum, in cooperation with The Menil Collection, presents:
Tetuzi Akiyama (Japan) - acoustic guitar
Jozef van Wissem (Holland) - renaissance lute

An artist of starkly contrasting styles, Tetuzi Akiyama gained international recognition as a member of Tokyo's "onkyo" scene of improvisers in the late 1990s. A groundbreaking and highly influential group, the onkyo musicians are known for zen-like subtlety, quietness and a remarkable use of silence. Akiyama's music can have these qualities, but his connections to blues and folk have always been clear. His acoustic performances are delicate, beautiful and expressive, often sounding like an intersection between country blues and traditional Japanese music.

Jozef van Wissem probably plays the most unlikely instrument in the world of contemporary improvised music: the Renaissance lute. He has accomplished the strange feat of bridging the idiom of seventeenth century lute literature and twenty-first century free improvisation. Van Wissem has largely stayed faithful to the particular timbre, resonance and playing technique of the lute. Van Wissem first came to be noticed a few years ago because of his conceptual approach to Renaissance lute music: he deconstructed existing compositions, for instance, by playing them backwards. He also composed his own pieces for lute, using palindromes and mirrored structures. His music therefore does not have a traditional linear progression, nor does it lead to a climax; rather, it stays at the same level of intensity. His music is quiet. It doesn't so much demand concentrated listening, but it brings the listener into a state of concentrated listening—an aspect that makes Van Wissem a natural partner to Akiyama's zen-like blues.

The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum was opened in February 1997. Intimate in scale, the Chapel Museum is the repository in the United States for the only intact Byzantine frescoes in the entire western hemisphere. These masterworks from the 13th century—a dome and an apse—were stolen out of a chapel near Lysi in the Turkish occupied section of Cyprus in the 1980s, cut into pieces and smuggled off the island by thieves prepared to sell them piece by piece. The fresco fragments were rescued from the thieves by The Menil Foundation with the knowledge and approval of the Church of Cyprus, the rightful owner of the frescoes. The Menil Foundation then funded a painstaking two-year restoration of the paintings. Numerous private donors helped fund the construction of the Chapel Museum, which combines rough stone, opaque glass and rich woods to extraordinarily spiritual effect. The Church of Cyprus is allowing a long-term loan of the frescoes in the building designed especially for them by architect François de Menil.

Concert Announcement: Cooper-Moore Trio

y_e_torres — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 16:26:34 GMT

Cooper-Moore Trio:
Cooper-Moore - piano, hand-crafted instruments
Forbes Graham - trumpet, electronics
Nioka Workman - cello

Saturday, January 19, 2008
8pm
Barnevelder Movement/Arts Complex
2201 Preston, Houston TX

The work of Cooper-Moore is a testament to commitment, vision, spirit, compassion, and invention. Born and raised in the Piedmont Area of the Virginian Blue Ridge Mountains, Cooper-Moore played piano in churches as a child prodigy. In the early 1970's he moved to New York, and began his association with the fertile and revolutionary "loft scene" of underground jazz, collaborating with such musicians as David S. Ware, Marc Edwards, and William Parker. An accomplished composer and virtuosic piano player, Cooper-Moore quit public performance in 1981, depriving the creative music world of a unique and vital talent. He dedicated himself to youth, working intensively with a variety of communities. He has developed and implemented his own music curriculum; and has been sent around the country by Head Start to teach it to others. For the last 25 years, Cooper-Moore has assisted the disabled, the incarcerated, the at-risk, and the underserved; affecting them with his passion and understanding of personal and community progress through creative work.

In the early 90's, Cooper-Moore returned to public performance and was discovered by a new generation of fans. His unique talents were a revelation. He is a renaissance man, whose performances encompass honest and insightful storytelling, wide-ranging explorations on hand-made instruments, and intensely virtuosic piano playing. Cooper-Moore is the quintessential "unsung hero". He is an artist who understands the urgent need for unique voices. He delivers on his commitments, both in the community and on the stage.

Tuva Camp 2008

Alexander — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 21:09:31 GMT

Dear Friends

Thank you for your interest to our music.

Last summer we held a throat singing camp in Tuva.

We had 14 students from around the world - 8 of them were from the US, 2 from Australia
2 from Denmark, 1 from France, 1 from England.
After arriving in Tuva, the students spent 1 week in Kyzyl, the capital city.
They were able to see many tourist attractions, see a Tuvan shaman,
and attend the Naadym - National Harvest Celebration.

The students then went on to spend 1 week in the deep taiga, with members of the Tuvan throat singing group Chirgilchin,
learning various styles of throat singing, traditional Tuvan instruments, as well as the Tuvan language.

This summer, we are trying to get 2 groups to go to Tuva again, in either June or July.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Please check our photos made by Russell Roesner - our student.

Thank you

Tetuzi Akiyama ,Gitarre & Elektronik ( Japan)
Tetuzi Akiyama is a highly unique and experimental guitarist heavily applying free improvisation and noise. Besides guitar, he also plays electronics, viola, and self-made instruments. Akiyama released his first solo album Relator [slub music] in 2001. Mixing feelings of country and blues with free improvisation, Akiyama began to perform solo with greater frequency playing both acoustic and electric guitars, turntables without records and other effects. Using a prepared resonator guitar with a Samurai sword, Akiyama recorded his second solo album Resophonie (a bruit secret, 2002) which can be described as sonic sculpture with guitar.
Akiyama is a frequent guest at international music festivals and in recent years has performed at What is Music? (Australia, 2002), Alt Music (New Zealand, 2002 & 2004), Amplify (Tokyo, 2002 & New York, 2003), Musique Action (France, 2003 & 2005), Musiques Innovatrices (France, 2003), Uchiage (Berlin & Vienna, 2004) and Instal (Glasgow, 2005).

Born in Marseille (France) in 1973 and moved to Paris (France) in 1997. Founder of the avant-rock trio and then duo ION+ with jurgen heckel* in february 1999.

Experimental ZITHERS tribe formed

looppool — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 04:01:18 GMT

http://tribes.tribe.net/weirdzithers

I have been playing with a lot of zither experiments that are out of the norm lately.
I had a custom MAXAPHONE and a custom BOWED PSALTERY made for me
and I've been doing experiments with really cheap childrens' toy zithers: preparing
them, processing them, putting them into weird found tunings and different ethnic tunings:
using contact microphones on them and processing them and looping them in weird ways.

Today, in the Weird Kalimba tribe one the artists who is most inspiring to me, Robert Collier
posted pictures of a kalimba/zither that he invented and built and it suddenly occured to me that
there are at least two of us out in the world who find experiments with these simplest of string
instruments fascinating.

So I started googling 'Weird Zithers' 'Strange Zithers' 'Unusual Zithers'
'Experimental Zither's' and discovered there
is an amazing world of people who step out of the box in their music and their inventions.

And I started the WEIRD ZITHERS tribe.

I doubt there will be a lot of members or even a ton of traffic, but it would be cool to turn each other
onto cool things that are out in the world that we have never heard of.

Come join us.

yours, Rick Walker

Badschematic is a non-profit and commerce-free netlabel, distributing unusual and challenging audio works in MP3 format. All of our releases are free to download and share under a Creative Commons License. By operating without monetary concerns, it is Badschematic's goal to bring to your ears unique and unusual sounds that push and break through the boundaries of standard musical convention.

Badschematic is now officially up and running! Our first run of releases is as follows :

Swamps Up Nostrils - "Interdifference" = Originally recorded in 2005, this album finally sees the light of day with its release on Badschematic. Norwegian based artist Swamps Up Nostrils put together his unique blend of sounds, noises, and broken beats to construct eight original tracks for the long overdue release of Interdifference.

V/A - "Schematic Sounds Volume One" = The first installment in Badschematic's compilation series brings you nineteen different tracks by musicians and sound artists from across the globe. Featured on this compilation is a wide variety of strange and unusual sounds, from ambient drones to harsh noise-scapes.

Torstein Wjiik - "Moth Powder" = Moth Powder is a three track EP from Norwegian artist Torstein Wjiik, freely combining harsh bursts of noise, low rumbling drones, and strangely beautiful sound fragments. Moth Powder is also available on CDr from Ambolthue Records, a small indie label releasing experimental music in all variations.

Ligand - "Exogenous Conveyances" = Ligand's sound could be described, upon an initial listen, as "ambient", but that only tells part of the story. A producer of unconventional music that wanders freely between the soothing and the surreal, Ligand works within the context of ambient music but does not worry overmuch about staying within its confines.

To download these releases for free in MP3 format, please visit our website at http://www.badschematic.info

Thank you.

Barpieces: Computer Music Inventions by Charles Engstrom (New Orleans) & Christopher Fleeger (SF)

akousma — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 10:02:59 GMT

Thursday, June 7th, 8pm @ The Luggage Store, 1007 Market St @ 6th, San Francisco, CA 94103 .... $6-10
Barpieces: Computer Music Inventions by Charles Engstrom (New Orleans) & Christopher Fleeger (SF)

(a piece is a note is a piece-- elephants all the way down)

Theory runs thick in computer music. Come to think of it, a brisk commerce in signal is a symptom of noisy neighborhoods in general. This is understandable enough. How many other reasonably honest choices are there when confronted with an experience shortage? The whole computing machine dance up until now has been so short-- like a baby accumulating half-truths. Well, if the commonweal's experience-cupboard is bare, then fill it. Should be a perfect playground for fools.

Our doing this surely must have been kicked along both by the dissatisfaction with sleepwalking and by some growing appreciation of the edge as panacea. But our simplest and least obscure motive has probably been curiosity about how musical performance works when it is done on computing machines. When the timbre space goes infinite and has a memory, how do you go about assembling a meaningful piece of time for some particular group of people at some particular place?

The relative scarcity of cliche (both social and musical) in computer music creates this situation where a framework for listening somehow needs to be generated at the same time as it is filled with sound-- context and content made more or less simultaneously. There is this beautiful similarity to the historical interplay between worldly conundrums and abstract mathematics. It has been more than interesting to notice that this interplay turns out to be sampling in disguise.

The ambit of all this is really the same one music has always had: to set up a situation where the air shakes in a certain way and begins to give off inevitability outside of human language.

We use a couple of powerbooks, some controllers, a black box or two, an amplifier and some speakers.

Loud? No, it's not all that loud.

[Pseudomonarchia Daemonium XVII]

Recorded on May 20, 2007 at 5:00 pm. One whole improvisational session, no retakes and very little in the ways of post production. A disturbing ceremony, with elements of ambient-al melancholy and noisy manifestations of disorder. 17 min. 4eu/5$

At last ! Hailing from the haunted asylums of Poland, Funebrum is a one-(inhu)man project creating icy cold depressive moods with the use of ritualized minimal electronic structures. Black metal influences are blended here with the darkest of ambient purely resulting in 9 obscure and deeply hypnotic tracks. That persitent voice in your head never made itself so clear. A bloodstorm before your eyes ... the gun in your hand and only one way to use it ... A mandatory soundtrack to your intimate self-destruction plans. 7 eur/8$

New to the group. An electronic music composition major at CalArts in the early '70's, when Morton Subotnick was on faculty. Studios were outfitted with Buchla modular systems then. However, I swiftly changed to ethnomusicology major when Ravi Shankar and his troupe of musicians from India began teaching at CalArts. Stockhausen has always been one of my favorites

Clarinet Works

Huzzab — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 19:09:21 GMT

Randall Colbourne has a new release with Withdrawn Records.
I think it is called "Clarinet Works" because there is nothing else you could possibly call it!

Check it out here: http://www.withdrawnrecords.com/

Randall Colbourne is best known for his intense trapset work on the dozen+ albums he released with Paul Flaherty on the Zaabway, Tulpa, and Cadence music labels during the 1980s & 90s. Recorded in his cellar, Colbourne played all of the instruments (Bb, Eb, and alto clarinets; drums, bass, and live electronics) on this, the drum great’s first solo album. Clarinet Works is a 71-minute beauty. Just below are mp3s of two of the album’s twelve tracks.

And it's only 8 bucks including shipping!

joelkru — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 01:39:26 GMT

Wandering Ear is a net.label dedicated to releasing field recordings from around the world. All Wandering Ear releases are available for free download in 192kpbs MP3 format. www.wanderingear.com/we005.html

I've got a new track, "Avian Reduction" included on their latest release! Here are the particulars:

we005
Melt : Minnesota Remixed

In 2006, the net label Wandering Ear debuted with the compilation "Thaw:
Field Recordings from Minnesota". Now, a host of audio artists from around
the world have mined these recordings as source material for remixes,
bending and folding the sounds to their own ends. Ducks, geese, lakes,
waterfalls, boats, helicopters, and answering machine messages are spun
into new and unexpected dimensions. Every track from "Thaw" has been
reworked for this compilation.

Enjoy!
Joel

I am happy to announce that my new solo album has been released by the US label "New Albion"!

Here is the link about the album at New Albion's web site : www.newalbion.com/NA131

This is an album of "solo acoustic guitar and live electronics". The whole album was recorded in real-time without any overdubs. I played the acoustic guitar and controlled the live electronics at the same time.

During the making of this album, Ovation Custom Legend 1869 acoustic guitar, TC Electronic Fireworx multi effects processor, Behringer FCB1010 midi foot controller and the software Audiomulch were used.

Software

OtherMichael — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 13:52:27 GMT

I didn't see a general thread on unusual tools (not that it doesn't exist -- the search tool has been craptacular, lately), so here goes:

http://www.webcenter.ru/~vsoft/BitmapPlayer.htm (see http://xmusic.tribe.net/photos/d2d73369-d7ce-4552-91a8-1f8653305113 )

it makes sounds from bitmaps. PC-only

http://www.audiomulch.com/ -- again, PC only; sorry. And the beta used to be free, but now it's not in beta.

AudioMulch is an interactive musician’s environment for computers running Microsoft Windows. Bringing together the popular with what has up to now been considered experimental, AudioMulch merges the worlds of mainstream electronica and electroacoustic sound composition to create a fluid sonic environment only limited by the artist’s imagination.

While many of the processes featured within AudioMulch are not new to computer music programs, it is the software’s ability to carry out these traditionally "studio" or "non-real-time" signal processing techniques in real-time that emerges as its major asset. With AudioMulch, music that has for so long been limited to the pre & post-production practices of a studio can emerge in a new LIVE and interactive context.

yadda yadda yadda. too much tencho-oriented crap for me, but lots of generators and chewers and confabulators for messing up sound into something neat

http://www.echonyc.com/~jhhl/software.html -- RGS (Real-time Graphical Synthesis) develops from a simple idea: to "paint" a sonogram directly, in the manner of other computer painting programs, while simultaneously synthesizing the sound that sonogram represents. In RGS, you are painting amplitudes (using a mouse or graphics tablet) into a "canvas" of fixed frequencies organized in a series of skinny time frames. The sound which corresponds to the painted sonogram plays in an endless loop, at a speed based on the sample playback rate and the number of sound samples each time frame controls. The same sonogram can be reinterpreted with different time scales and frequency ranges.

As a sop to the PC-haterz, this baby is AMIGA-ONLY. I wasted so many hours building long looping weirdness with this thing, but haven't found anything comparable on a PC. I run it now on an Amiga-emulator. Happy days!

Seeking clarinetists for The Moe!kestra! this Saturday in Portland OR

Noah — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 22:48:26 GMT

Hey gang.

I've got perhaps the greatest Moe!kestra yet lined up to play this Saturday at Someday Lounge, but we're short a few clarinetists. Though we have some great ones of course, Mr. Staiano has expressed a desire for more.

The only qualification is that you need to be able to read music as well as freely improvise, which leaves me out unfortunately. We're getting together Friday and Saturday 4-6pm to rehearse, then the show itself is Saturday night at 9.

Any and all music-reading improvisational clarinetists, please contact me soon!
