THE OAKLAND REDUCTIONIST ORCHESTRA
The premiere performance of a new supergroup of local musicians with a predilection for lowercase/fricative/reductionist acoustic improvisation that often sounds more electronic than acoustic. This ensemble grows out of a rich tradition of "American reductionist" music that emerged (re-emerged?) in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Previous projects like Tom Djll's Grosse Abfahrt and The Jack Wright Large Ensemble Eight By Nine document the Bay Area's contribution to the genre.

For his last installment of his "opening set residency," Oakland musician MATT INGALLS performs his decades-in-the-making, 30-minute-continuous-micro-timbre-circular-breathing-tour-de-force clarinet solo. Exploring extended techniques that interact with the acoustic space, he often acoustically synthesizes difference tones that are perceived to originate inside the listener's ear. |
