Converging for this multimedia event will be musicians and dancers
from California, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. These performers have
been working together for years in different configurations, but this
is the first time that these seven will be improvising as an ensemble.
They will meet and work together at S34 in the afternoon and then
throw open the doors in the evening for the audience to witness their
improvisational process at that moment in time. As so often in the
circle of improvisers, this will be a meeting of the familiar and
unfamiliar.

Bob Marsh (voice, violin, electronics, tap dance) is a well seasoned
improviser whose work has involved shaping sounds words images ideas.
Originally from Detroit, Marsh arrived in the Bay Area in 2000 after
ten years in Chicago where he played with most of the avant
improvisers in that rich and varied scene. He currently leads or
directs String Theory, a string ensemble focusing on textures and
microtonics; the Che Guevarra Memorial Marching (and Stationary)
Accordion Band, structured and free improv for six to fifteen
accordions; Robot Martians, electronics and processed voice; the Out
of the Blue Chamber Ensemble, a mixture of reeds and strings; Opera
Viva, voiced physical theater; the Quintessentials, a quintet
specializing in interpreting graphic compositions based on alterations
to the Michelin Road Guide to France; and the Illuminated Orchestra,
structured improves for large ensemble. Additionally Marsh is a member
of Romus/Diaz-Infante's Abstractions, Jim Ryan's Left Coast Improv
Group, Moe! Staiano's Moe!chestra and Tom Bickley's Cornelius Cardew
Choir. Bob has studied classical piano, classical guitar and
vibraphone and has taught himself various other instruments.
Walter Wright (analog synthesizer and video) - Walter was once an
unlicensed architect. He became a professor of film, video and
computer graphics as well as a video animator, and software engineer.
One of the first video animators, he worked at Computer Image
Corporation in the early seventies. His tapes were shown regularly at
the Kitchen, where he was an associate director. In 1973-76, as artist-
in-residence at the Experimental Television Center, NY, he pioneered
video performance touring with the (Nam June) Paik/Abe video
synthesizer. He developed his own performance video system, the Video
Shredder, and uses it with his analog synthesizer to mesmerize
audiences wherever and whenever he can. He's getting quite good at it.
His mission is to create a new music of sound, image and movement. He
has performed throughout the east coast of the USA and Canada at art
galleries and museums, schools and colleges, media centers,
conferences and festivals. He is the owner of the 119 gallery in
Lowell MA, where he lives. http://www.119gallery.org/
Joe Burgio (dance) born in Boston Massachusetts, received his first
formal dance training from Jody Weber at the Green Street Studios in
Cambridge, Massachusetts; his practice bloomed with Debra Bluth at the
Dance Complex, also in Cambridge. He has appeared with several dance-
theatre groups, including Callie Chapman-Korn's Zoedance, Rose-
Pasquerello-Beachamp's influxdance, and Jamie Jewett's LostWax--
his first appearace with Teresa Czepiel. He has performed extensively
with experimental and improvisational musicians, and has on-going
collaborations Katt Hernandez, Lou Cohen and Matt Samolis. His
principle area of interest is intermedia performance, and has
collaborated for many years with Walter Wright, video artist/musician,
on a variety of projects, from eletrovideomove to the dadallamas. He
leads bodydrama, a movement ensemble rooted in Butoh aesthetic, and
teaches informally in Boston's Fort Point arts community. He is
thrilled to return to Philadelphia to perform with Nicole Bindler and
Jack Wright.
Jon Barrios (b. 1973) Venezuelan-American bassist, cellist, and
composer. Born in Queens, NY, and raised in Asia and Latin America.
His father, a Venezuelan Ambassador to South Korea and Japan,
encouraged Barrios' interests in video game programing, electronics
and Latin American music. Barrios studied the guitar intensively as a
young man, later expanding his interests to the contrabass and cello.
As his compositional dexterity grew, Barrios began to work in realms
outside of formal instruction, allowing for greater fluidity and
texture in his work. His confidence grew along with his compositional
skill; and the culmination of his studies emerges with Fantasy no.1
and Fantasy no.2. The pieces combine Barrios’ knowledge of the
contrabass and cello with the ideas he’d developed through electronic
mediums. Barrios currently resides in Philadelphia, PA at Jack
Wright's Spring Garden Music house. Philadelphia, PA at Jack Wright's
