Evander Music Winter Festival
From Italy: Paolo Angeli
(from down the street): squiggle
9 pm - Paolo Angeli
solo prepared sardinian guitar
Cross an acoustic/electric guitar with a cello and a sitar, and you might have an idea of what a sardinian guitar is like. Not only is this evening an essential listening experience to hear such an instrument, Paolo Angeli is a virtuoso performer in the best possible sense of the word. Nels Cline, Fred Frith and Derek Bailey all have something in common with Angeli: virtuosic control, reckless abandon, and the highest level of improvisational skills combined in an utterly individualistic style. Don't miss this concert!
10 pm - squiggle
Tom Djll - trumpet, prepared trumpet
Phillip Greenlief - woodwinds
Tim Perkis - electronics
squiggle is the collaboration of three well-known bay area musicians who have been fucking up the new music scene in the bay area for decades. their rehearsal process is to get together, drink tea and talk about everything but music. their performance process is to show up, park, unload their stuff and play music that is the sound of everything you've ever heard - all melting into a kaleidoscope of sound goo. sturdy napkins are passed out at squiggle concerts for the occasional mess that gets in listeners ears. if you don't mind a little mess with your moveable feast, check out squiggle, who will more than likely play their trio madness for a while before welcoming paolo angeli to join them for sardinian flavored squiggle.
