7:30 Ghost In the House (CD Release)

Ghost In The House
Kyle Bruckmann – Oboe, English Horn
Karen Stackpole – Gongs, Percusion
Tom Nunn – Crustacean & Waterphone
David Michalak – Lap Steel, Buffalo Drum

The music of Ghost in the House is a soundtrack for the subconscious. It could suggest a murder mystery, a visitation in a dream or a cataclysmic storm. The scores are sketches that depict musical events to be interpreted by the band.

“These are all the films I couldn’t afford to make.” D.M.

The group will perform music from their CD, new compositions and a soundtrack for the 1928 DADA film “Ghosts Before Breakfast.

8:30 Lords of Outland

Rent Romus' Lords of Outland have mutated through many incarnations. Most recent they have included collaborations with drummer Philip Everett, bassist Ray Schaeffer (of Tri-Cornered-Tent-Show), and noise artist CJ Reäven Borosque, as well as living free-jazz legend Jim Ryan etc. He is also founding member of The Abstractions, who released three recordings during their time together. Although his past is in jazz, he and the group expand to other realms of improvisation and sound exploration, including electroacoustic sound. Their fascination for experimental music is cross-genre and all encompassing.

"...will make you purr and howl; it's a right cross flattening that decrepit opponent named "inane jazz". I'll shake the hand of those club owners who will have the nerve of booking the Lords of Outland; meanwhile, a copy of Culture of Pain will work wonders if you suffer from commercial music depression."
-Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes
